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

Then he will definitely be the shortest serving chancellor??

Did Zahawi not already bag the record for shortest serving Chancellor?

Bring back Boris

You are being sarcastic, please tell us you are.

Bring back Boris

That's what I say

Somebody died "on the job", I think, so they were the winner of the shortest time as chancellor.

I'm probably wrong though.

So, it is HUNT! Bluddy hell. This gets worse.
Mind you he’s a Remainer so many will forgive him if he missteps.

Don’t worry he won’t be there long enough. She is toast.

Hunt? Why? At least he’s a Remainer. Presumably Truss has run out of Senior Tories with more than one brain cell.

Truss was a Remainer.

Jeremy Hunt! Never saw that coming!

Same speech more or less as she has been giving all summer

That was pathetic.

It was embarrassing

Excruciating - the political journalists are giving her both barrels though!

Another for bringing back Boris !

Not impressed by the corporation tax u turn ?

Just the usual slogans. She only took questions from The Telegraph, The Sun, BBC and ITV and did not even attempt to answer a single question, just regurgitated the mantras.

Why on earth should we put up with her any longer?

That’s totally unfair. We all want what’s best for the country. If someone does something that’s bad for the country we will criticise them. Likewise, if they do something that benefits the country we will support them no matter where we stand regarding leave or remain. Please don’t brand other people with your own tribalism.

I wonder how many others she asked before she could get Hunt to say "yes"

The pound is falling and interest rates rising since Truss fled her press conference.

I have just listened to her speech and it's amazing that the assembled press let her get away with that. She didn't answer any questions except by parroting what she had juts said. She seemed to me to be trying to emulate the strategies of Margaret Thatcher without the strength of character and personality and I say that as no fan or Mrs. T.

As for Jeremy Hunt he did his best to ruin the NHS- allowed GPs a fantastic lucrative contract, reduced training numbers of new nurses, cancelled hospital building programmes amongst other of his intiatives.

Keir Starmer must be rubbing his hands in glee. The Tories are in complete disarray. They’ll be sorry they got rid of Boris. What a shambles!
