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 ?????

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

WWM2. Therese Coffey? I trust you are joking!

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

Therese Coffey?

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

Just unbelievable.

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

I agree. We can’t go on like this.

Seconding - or even “thirding” that!

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

Who will she put in his place?

Beautful Fri 14-Oct-22 12:40:52

It doesn't take away the harm already caused.

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

Fleurpepper Fri 14-Oct-22 12:15:42

She has!

Grannynannywanny Fri 14-Oct-22 12:14:41

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