Blimey! She's gone.....

Apparently the £ has rallied.

I don’t feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for all the people having to suffer the damage she’s inflicted on the economy.

This......

If you disregard the two weeks of mourning after the death of the Queen, in just 4 short weeks she and Kwarteng have wreaked catastrophic damage to our economy, especially mortgages.

Then she showed her true colours, throwing Kwarteng under the bus in an attempt to save her skin.

Despicable.

Larry has seen off four Prime Ministers so far!

A little reminder for those who would like to see Johnson back.

Should also point out that the Privileges Committee are investigation him for misleading parliament over partygate, apparently the evidence against him is stacking up, and he is likely to be suspended from parliament for long enough for his constituents to enable a recall petition, which would lead to him having to fight by-election to retain it.

How embarrassing to lose yet another PM in strange circumstances.

OTH I hope Truss hadn't stripped the wallpaper?

He's got my vote. ?

They need to install a revolving door at number 10!

That’s so funny Pitcity

I'll join you!

Surely even the current Conservative Party would not be bonkers enough to bring back Johnson? I'll be out manning the barricades if he returns.

This talk of Boris Johnson returning is making me feel really sick. If that is the best they can offer then a GE is necessary. Rishi Sunak is experienced and above all is an economist. He would calm the market and that is what we need.

The Conservatives can’t work as one together so how on earth could they work as part of a coalition government. Anyway why would Keir Starmer want to when a load our victory is looming?

Whoever won a General Election we would once again have to witness grown adults in hugely responsible positions shouting criticisms and insults at each other across the House of Commons, like kids in a school playground! Is that really how we want our political representatives to conduct themselves? Given the current crisises (sorry if that's not a word) I don't think any member of the current parties has sufficient knowledge or experience to get us out of this mess. I wouldn't have confidence in any of them. A Cabinet of GNETers could do better!

As for the suggestions that Boris might return. The phrase "Better the devil you know than the one you don't" comes to mind.

If I believed in conspiracy theories I might think that the last three months have been orchestrated by Conservative puppet masters

Liz Truss and Kwazi Kwarteng have been well and truly played, all part of the plan to make Mr.Johnson the saviour of the party. After all he did win an eighty seat majority.

??????????

Well that's something I suppose! I think the Johnson's took their rather garrish wildly expensive wall paper with them. Of course I feel sorry for people affected by all this, especially as we are one of them! But I still felt for her humiliation.

The lettuce lasted longer

At least she hasn't had time to buy any wallpaper...

Im utterly relieved that she’s going and feel that the only answer is a general election.

On a personal level her feelings of humiliation must be off the scale and I wish that on no-one at all… friend or foe. Just wish she hadn’t made this series of terrible decisions in the first place, and that the country learns from it.
We need constitutional change.

She was probably relieved to be going, to me she was nearly smiling at times.

“Phew, thank goodness, I’m outta here!”

I thought that too. She looked a lot happier and less stressed than on previous occasions.
She deserved to go because she messed up on the biggest issue of all. Was it entirely her own fault, I'm not sure?
Looking for plus points I felt Liz Truss conducted herself fittingly when the Queen died and I admired her for keeping her children well away from the political scene.

To those who feel sorry for her, I take it you’re ok with those who have lost out financially due to her lack of sense or empathy ? The fact she and Kwai didn’t even do consult cabinet about the 45 tax thing?

Has she resigned as an MP also?

She was probably relieved to be going, to me she was nearly smiling at times.

“Phew, thank goodness, I’m outta here!”

I don't feel sorry for her one bit. Her hypocrisy when she sacked KK for carrying our HER policies was just breathtaking.

I was amazed she was elected to PM in the first place because I'd long regarded her as a particularly stupid woman, whose ignorance about the natural world was telling when she was Environment Secretary.

Not sure which of the following holds the most truth regarding Liz Truss (though I'm leaning towards the latter):
a) the Peter Principle which states that people are promoted until they reach a position where they are no longer competent; or
b) the Dilbert Principle states that they are promoted because of their incompetence.

Liz Truss will be the answer to pub quiz questions and Trivial Pursuits for years to come!

I’m sure her instinct was to not be a quitter, but as happened with Boris, I fear her hand was forced.

I feel sorry for her too. We all know politics is a cut throat business but surely no one would wish that humiliation on her.

Thank you, JE, my views too.

She brought the humiliation on herself, her hand was only forced because she had put herself into a completely untenable position. The fracking vote was the final straw, what on earth were she and the cabinet thinking of strong-arming their own MPs. Unprecedented disaster.

I don’t feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for all the people having to suffer the damage she’s inflicted on the economy.
