I wonder if she’s going to sack Kwasi Kwarteng in an attempt to save her own skin.

MawtheMerrier Fri 14-Oct-22 14:43:21

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

Daisymae Fri 14-Oct-22 14:42:37

It was embarrassing

That was pathetic.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 14-Oct-22 14:38:01

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

Daisymae Fri 14-Oct-22 14:27:17

Jeremy Hunt! Never saw that coming!

volver Fri 14-Oct-22 14:17:10

Truss was a Remainer.

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 14-Oct-22 14:14:46

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

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

More like a lettuce. ?

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

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

I'm probably wrong though.

You are being sarcastic, please tell us you are.

Then he will definitely be the shortest serving chancellor??

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

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

Anyone nailing themselves to her mast need to give their head a wobble

Yep it has been confirmed by political experts on Twitter

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.

What a bluddy shambles all this is.

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.”

Zoejory Fri 14-Oct-22 13:25:47

What a disaster. I think if i was Liz I'd be announcing my early retirement.

Dottynan Fri 14-Oct-22 13:22:48

Bring back Boris
