" Oh! Liz Truss. Forgot about her"

"The lady is not for turning up"

So if Truss resigns, does that mean Coffey becomes PM?

It'd be another leadership election wouldn't it?

 

[Gavin]

It'd be another leadership election wouldn't it?

But Coffey would be the PM until the outcome of that election

Depends - the most recently PM to resign, held on and "oversaw" the hand-over process; by ignoring everything that happened in the world, and going on holiday.
Compared to that, Caretaker Coffey might even be an improvement

 

[Which Tyler]

Do we think that Kwasi is just severely constipated?


He couldn't budge it.

 

[DragonCraig45]

Believe there is a online petition to get Boris back. Crazy and two faced people.

There's been a charge.org petition for a while ...




But my most favourite

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Oof.

excuse the ignorance, what of anything happened in Oct/Nov 2021 to start the shift?

I think that was the start of the partygate scandals wasn't it?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Apparently needs around 2/3rds of Tory MPs to write no confidence letters to 1922 committee to get her out.

Partygate was end of November I think it was the Owen Paterson affair. Yeah October/November where they tried to get him off breaking the rules. Partygate happened slightly afterwards and it's been a death spiral since.

Owen Paterson - Wikipedia

[Which Tyler]

From what that chart shows, October/November is normal enough fluctuations - but you can't really tell as it doesn't show September/October (it starts mid october because it's a 12 month count-back from nowish). But yes, the Owen Patterson thing happened there; the swing on that graph is mid-late November, and all the parties - especially the one that coincided with Prince Phil's funeral - that one REALLY hit home with the electorate, and more so with the tory voting portion of the public.

You could argue that the swing started in June 21 - simply the end of BJ's Covid bump and the realisation that Brexit isn't all sunlit uplands after all.

55% of Tory members want Truss to resign
57.4% of them just voted for them just under 2 months ago
40% of her voters want her to go

Christ ******* idiots shouldn't be allowed near a ballot box and really need to think about their decisions.

This from a guy who thought voting for Tim Farron and Jo Swinson were sensible decisions. (I still maintain Swinson's biggest issue was the lack of time to bed in).

 

[General Melchett]

Letting her stay on is setting a very dangerous precedent. It beggars belief that someone can be elected on a series of pledges that were reversed weeks into their premiership. She has no authority or credibility. Tory MPs need to do their job for once and get rid.

 

[ncurd]

12 year of Tories

Lets listen to what 13 years of what "Red Tories" got us.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

oh man she never fails to produce great images

 

[Which Tyler]

She's a puppet - how do you expect her to look?
The only difference between today and this time last week, is that Hunt has wrested control from Rees-Mogg
