Just that - so far.

In the words of Dionne Warwick ? say a little prayer ?

I am GrannyGravy, I am.

Apparently, Liz Truss requested the meeting.

There was a woman being interviewed this morning - I didn't catch her name. She had worked in Thatcher's office. She was very interesting and at the end she said one of the problems was that they have so few good people to choose from because Johnson threw out all who wouldn't agree with him on Brexit.

I think she is right.

Lot of them are still MPs DaisyAnne, on the backbenches. Jeremy Hunt being one of them.

Blinko Thu 20-Oct-22 12:47:54

Come on, Brady, tell her she’s got to go.

There’s going to be a statement in 15 minutes….

Oldbat1 Thu 20-Oct-22 13:19:54

She needs to go and a general election called. Surely even the tories realise this.

Casdon Thu 20-Oct-22 13:22:03

Just seen - Downing Street Statement at 1.30!

The lectern’s out.

Grannynannywanny Thu 20-Oct-22 13:26:27

Watching live on BBC news channel. The podium is out ready for her appearance.

Whitewavemark2 Thu 20-Oct-22 13:26:57

Blimey timed that well. Had a couple of hours walking the dog, and just got back in for lunch.

Grannynannywanny Thu 20-Oct-22 13:28:35

Cross posts merlotgran and lectern was the word I was looking for ?

Prentice Thu 20-Oct-22 13:32:44

It does seem that Liz Truss is going to resign now.A good decision I think.

Litterpicker Thu 20-Oct-22 13:33:36

They just called it a podium on BBBNews!

tanith Thu 20-Oct-22 13:35:24

Good riddance

DaisyAnne Thu 20-Oct-22 13:35:34

Gone

Grannmarie Thu 20-Oct-22 13:36:07

On radio 2 just now, broke into Jeremy Vine's music. She is resigning.

varian Thu 20-Oct-22 13:36:27

Not before time. We need a general election.

merlotgran Thu 20-Oct-22 13:36:44

Another one bites the dust!

MayBee70 Thu 20-Oct-22 13:37:14

Still no apology from her for the chaos she’s caused…

Philippa111 Thu 20-Oct-22 13:38:42

She has resigned... that's great but what on earth will be coming next. They won't call a general election and despite all of this circus will hold on to power, again with no regard for the people's wellbeing, I'm quite sure. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Pray for us all!!

DaisyAnne Thu 20-Oct-22 13:40:03

No, Philippa, no GE. A week for MPs to find another leader.
