Liz Truss to hold a news conference at 2pm as speculation builds about another budget U turn.

She has!

How can she sack him for policies that were as much hers as his? I hope the Conservative MPs sack her, too.

So Kwasi is being chucked under the bus.
Good.
Now the best thing would be for Truss to jump after him.
What a shambles - in the meantime what about the millions (?) whose financial security has been undermined by their silly childish mistakes? Pensions lost, mortgages lost, jobs lost - all of these potentially personal disasters ?????

Just unbelievable.

Only one way forward at this stage, a GE asap.

It doesn't take away the harm already caused.

I agree. We can’t go on like this.

Both need the sack

Who will she put in his place?

He’s gone. Presumably you all know this by now or are they telling us lot before you ?

So BBC saying that she will have to fill the post this afternoon.

Therese Coffey?

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Seconding - or even “thirding” that!

Given that she'd be absolutely useless, I guess that would make her the perfect candidate!

WWM2. Therese Coffey? I trust you are joking!

I couldn’t agree more. What a b***y shower. I never thought I’d see the Tories in such a state. GE NOW

A group of senior Tories have been holding discussions + have decided the following: the sacking of
@KwasiKwarteng
will prompt them to come out publicly next week + call on
@trussliz
to resign. My source: “These are serious people. The PM will find it difficult to survive.”

What a bluddy shambles all this is.

Oh heck. Jeremy Hunt’s name is being circulated.
?

Lib Dems call for a GE. It really should be done. Tories have lost all respect and no wonder! What a collective a*rse they've made of things for too long.
