And do you think that Liz Truss hasn't lied. She became leader on a totally false premise and is now back pedalling and back stabbing as fast as she can. I'm certainly not alone in wishing we had Boris back!

Apparently Jeremy Hunt is the new chancellor according to many Twitter political experts.

He's insane.

You cannot be serious! Boris?!!! I so hope you ARE alone with this wish.

The only chancellor ever to have had a shorter tenure died in office, poor chap.

As to wishing for Johnson back,.... Nope, I can't find any words that wouldn't earn me an instant and almost certainly lifetime ban.

Excellent news that Kwarteng is sacked! I hope the Tories have the bottle to get rid of Truss asap.

Truss also needs to go. They share culpability.

Well, he's the scapegoat.

Four Chancellors in four months. Well really.

How's Boris looking now? Am I the only person who wishes he was still our leader? What a mess. Can only imagine that Liz Truss is in cahoots with Keir Starmer in order to get him elected as our next Prime Minister

This Boris chap...

Broke the laws he made and lied about it, supported the Barnard Castle debacle and its instigator, unlawful suspension of Parliament, accepted backhanders for the refurbishment of number 10, gave his lover preferential treatment in business, tried to change the rules of Parliament to save his mate...?

Yes of course, let's have him back. ??

We’re not being governed. I despise Tory government but we just need some stability. Liz Truss is clueless.

Joane123 Fri 14-Oct-22 13:20:07

Didn't expect that.
Thank goodness. Who will be next?

They couldn’t organise the proverbial in a brewery.

She certainly won’t be around for the Coronation.

There's always Rees-Mogg, of course.

Best put it back in the cellar.

Fact - not a rumour. What a mess!
