Anyone like to guess how long this government will last?

It's going to be another winter of discontent. We all know which workers keep the country running now thanks to covid. It's not the bankers. If key groups of workers strike this government won't last long.

My real fear is the London based crew in the opposition parties haven't got a clue either.

We thought Cameron was bad , then we had May. We thought May was awful, then we had Johnson. We didn’t think anyone could be worse, now there’s Truss. Seems like it’s Tory policy to have leaders more dreadful than the predecessor.

So much of the money they have given away will disappear offshore.

There were rumours of letters going in and a no confidence vote before Truss had even been to Balmoral!

Truss will last 2 yrs the ERG will see to that they will benefit massively, god knows what the state of the UK will be by then.

I don’t think so. The ERG is allegedly only about 80 Tory MPs. They can and ultimately will be outvoted when other MPs see this new economic strategy is failing - I’d lay money that there’s regrouping going on already.

Too long!

I hope whenever they go, that the new government will continue to support Ukraine. That’s important I think.

I think that's pretty high on all their lists and ours generally so I wouldn't worry. We need to back Ukraine.

I do just wonder if any of the MPs will feel they have to resign? There seems to be no attempt at "levelling up" and some jobs could well disappear to the free ports. Add to that the fact those on benefits could lose money while the only ones to come out ahead are those earning over £150,000 pa.

Too long.

GE next May is my guess, and they’ll be out.
I do just wish Labour could find a more inspiring leader.

I would welcome a change of government after today, the sooner the better.

I suspect they’ll make it to the next election Daisy but they’ve got absolutely no chance of being re-elected in my opinion. I could be wrong and they get outed sooner, but they are finished after today in my opinion. It’s time for a change, the country needs it.

I hope a year: as after Brexit, Covid, energy crisis: hopefully things clearer re Ukraine (tho not holding out over much hope there
.... opposition parties need time to prepare clear policies for an election. (and some more time for people to get REALLY fed up)

But they are travelling inevitably towards the end of a road.

Days, a month - that sort of short Maddy?

Not long, in my humble opinion, not after today.
