The lady’s not for turning up

BTW, what's the point of having a deputy PM - doesn't a deputy step in?

Gawd.

Blimey!

She has now arrived

Is she still there? Was it a cardboard cutout I saw? Tub of lard needed perhaps….

She’s gone. What is the point of Truss?

volver

Mordaunt just said she's not there "for a very good reason".

Any guesses?

Well yes, she's feart!

I'm totally gobsmacked ('scuse my rude word.)

You couldn't make it up!!!!!! So angry so very angry when you now what's happening to people who are struggling in so many ways. Grrrrrr!!!!

Mordaunt would be best imo to step up but....

We need an election!

According to The Speaker, Truss is not obliged to say anything!

You know the country is in trouble when Jeremy Hunt is sent to the rescue!

I reckon the Speaker got a word wrong - he probably meant to say that she's not allowed to say anything.

I'm only half joking, because it wouldnt surprise me in the least if the big boys in the party have ordered her strongly suggested to her that she keep her mouth shut whenever possible to avoid inflicting further damage.

This is why

Maybe she wash washing her hait

Fleeting visit. I think she's toast

So it seems she was with Ian Brady. I bet he has received an overwhelming number of no confidence letters.

Sir Graham Brady?

Oh God ,, I say that EVERY TIME?

Freudian slip! He is a bit of a grim reaper figure isn’t he!

What I want to know is this:

now we've waited all summer to get ..just more austerity after all...and hikes in our mortgage rates (yes, I had to sign a sudden high deal)

they have made clear today specifically there will be public spending cuts.

WHERE WILL THEY FALL?

The NHS?
Care Services?
Benefits.

And remember, we have LOST the two year energy relief, it has gone back to 6 months

ie a price hike in the spring is now coming!!!

The heating allowance will be under review in April. Possibly trying to ensure the money goes to those in actual need rather than everyone. Which is a good idea. In my opinion

Apparently she wasn’t with Brady. I’m going to ignore everything now.

If it was me (and it wouldn't ever be as I'm not that out of touch with reality) I'd be having a quiet breakdown and not be able to get there. From that perspective I feel sad for her as a person but not as a politician.

They should have left well alone and left Boris to while arranging another GE

All this surmusing. Why can't people just wait and sees what happens?

And now she's back at PMQs, all fired up and fighting fit. Well, she does have a lot to lose. If she goes too soon, she won't get to spend Christmas at Chequers. Think of all the photo ops there.
Basing this opinion on the spat she had with Raab, about a grace and favour mansion they both had a 'right' to use.

She needs to hang on for 2 months so that she gets a massive pay-off.

My own - personal - thoughts on the matter of Ms Truss are that as a politician she is out of her depth. A case of more ambition than ability. She doesn’t seem able to think on her feet when being put under pressure by Keir Starmer.

Ms Truss is a person, a human being, and I feel sorry for her. I think she’s being bullied by both the opposition (I know that’s what they’re there for) and her fellow Conservatives who should, I think, be supporting and helping her. I’m not at all sure that yet another PM right now would be good for the country’s stability.

Jeremy Hunt as Treasurer was a big surprise given his track record as Secretary of State for Health where he got so many people’s backs up it was embarrassing. Therese Coffee as Deputy P.M? Well, not sure she’s up to the job either. I believe Professor Whitty has already had to have a quiet word with her about her idea of being able to buy antibiotics OTC.

Before you open fire, this is just my own, personal and very humble opinion

(Coffee, yes, you read that right!)
