Apparently not even her party know.

She is acting like a dictator who doesn’t see the need to explain herself. There are so many seriously concerned people worrying about how to pay mortgages and bills over the next months. Can’t help but think this is the master plan to do away with public and health services replacing with US style insurance. God help us. It will take years to repair the damage to the U.K. economy.

Johnson backed Truss as leader when he was forced to resign.

Johnson (it has been widely suggested) hopes to make a comeback at some stage.

Truss is surrounded by, so presumably is advised by, Johnsonites.

Is there a link between these facts?

Is it possible that she has been deliberately set up to make such a monumental hash of things that he will be welcomed back with open arms?

I can't help wondering ...!

I wonder how many on GN actually elected her?

Ms Truss received 81,326 votes

There are about 46.5 million voters registered in the UK

There are tens of thousands of registered Gransnetters (according to GNHQ)

Someone might care to do the calculations?
Not me, DH has just cooked dinner!

Andrew Marr: "The lack of a statement from Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng is cowardly and shameful - it's a dereliction of duty."

I found out where she’s been - making music on YouTube.

Apparently pension funds would have collapsed today if the BoE had not stepped in.

Truss owes the country an explanation.

It is disgusting that she has chosen to keep quiet. She is treating the country with disdain.

She's still stuck in the bottom of that huge crater she created as she crashed into the ground running.

Many would say that it's best for us all if she is left there.

I don’t think anyone is going to admit it.

Tory party conference at the weekend. I wonder if she'll cry off?
How would she be able to face them?

BlueBelle Wed 28-Sept-22 15:36:11

Having a drink with Johnson on a desert island a very very long way away I hope

I just said the same yesterday. Where is she hiding? Hope it's because she's doing some work quietly. We need her to step up.

Or down

?????

Apparently she is live on Radio Kent tomorrow morning, should be interesting.

CvD66 Wed 28-Sept-22 14:31:44

Only comment Truss has made in the last 5 days is to congratulate a fascist on their election to power!

As for Gordon Brown running the country, he was the one that sold our gold reserve at a bargain price!

With absolutely no detriment to our economy because our currency hasn't been backed by gold since at least 1972.
If gold ever became the instrument of exchange (i.e money) we might regret it, but ATM it's irrelevant.

mayisay Wed 28-Sept-22 14:25:25

What short memories you all seem to have. She has been somewhat busy these last few months, so may just be taking a breather in readiness for the Party Conference next week.

Have I Got News For You

Police say they’re becoming increasingly concerned over the whereabouts of a Mrs L. Truss from Norfolk. Last seen driving entire country off a cliff.

?? can’t wait for Friday’s HIGNFY !!

It will probably be like Dallas, all a dream and tomorrow we will wake up to Boris again.

I'd rather that we woke up to find Gordon Brown in power. The last time the UK had anywhere near decent economic policies.

Babs758 Wed 28-Sept-22 14:12:24

Good.

Casdon Wed 28-Sept-22 14:04:25

I’ve just seen that Starmer has asked for parliament to be recalled because the situation is so serious.

Allsorts Wed 28-Sept-22 13:51:26

Don’t know where she is or KK but don’t want them back, this is so awful what’s been allowed to happen, can only think it’s to get this government out. It’s the most dreadful mess, no one agrees with it. She must be answerable.

I see there are rumours that the pound will soon be renamed the ounce
