Well am not surprised.. Are you? Feel dismayed by the Cons and the awful skullduggery that has gone on..need a glass or 2..hmm

Riverwalk Wed 20-Jul-22 16:10:34

I think we can look forward to Prime Minister Truss, as dire as that sounds!

Daisymae Wed 20-Jul-22 16:12:16

Apparently there's a petition of Tory members to get Johnson's name added to the vote. So maybe it's not over till it's over!

Please no. About the someone challenged her on her appalling attack on her school in Leeds

Double please no

Riverwalk am not confident with a PM Truss..she turned me off with her weak answers on the TV debates..but, Rishi is a a 'money man' perhaps his wife can help...

Smileless2012 Wed 20-Jul-22 16:16:27

Disappointed that Penny's out of the running so hoping it will be Rishi.

Dinahmo Wed 20-Jul-22 16:19:36

If Truss is PM my guess is that Labour will win the next GE.

PMQs will be entertaining.

Visgir1 Wed 20-Jul-22 16:19:51

Oh god.. What a choice!

Galaxy Wed 20-Jul-22 16:21:08

Oh I have been at work all day. You can always rely on GN for the newsgrin. Liz Truss would be excellent news for the labour party I think.

What is the matter with them?

Grandmadinosaur Wed 20-Jul-22 16:21:48

Heaven help us if these are the choices. It goes from bad to worse.

They're Tories.

She’s been awful in the debates. Which just goes to show what a waste of time they were ( other than letting us get to know the candidates better).

I do hope so.
This is too, too depressing.

Galaxy Wed 20-Jul-22 16:31:13

I actually think Johnson has been incredibly damaging to the Tory party, I think it will take them a while to recover.

He has, and it will; but we have to somehow limp on until the GE, which could be 18 months away. It's a gloomy prospect with the world in the state it's in.

The only choice for our PM is Sunak or Truss? What an an awful situation our country is in.

If they can't win the next GE they may as well shut up shop. As an opposition they have been a complete disgrace. They need a new leader too.

Can you explain why they have been a disgrace?

Jeez. How f***ing depressing. I'm scared to live in this country these days.

You said it well GagaJo.

..and the breakup of the UK. All Nicola has to do is look over her reading glasses and say "Liz Truss? Really?"

Farzanah Wed 20-Jul-22 17:15:40

Truss ?
Well if we’re not at war beforehand, Labour will win the next election, even if in its weak current state.
What an indictment of political choice in this country.
