Almost certainly. I wonder who decided Shapps should be in - Acting PM Hunt? If there’s a Sunak/Mordaunt/Hunt coup in the offing that could be good for his career.

That would almost certainly seem to be the ticket going forward, I don’t know how they get there constitutionally, though.

What are the rules on severance pay for ministers?
The law says that people holding various eligible paid positions in government and the opposition are entitled to a quarter of their salary in severance pay when they leave the job. This includes all ministers, but not parliamentary private secretaries or trade envoys, who are unpaid.

Who's next on the gravy train



What are the payments worth?
Based on the current figures:

the Prime Minister will receive £18,860 (a quarter of £75,440)
a Cabinet Minister will receive £16,876.25 (a quarter of £67,505)
a Minister of State will receive £7,920 (a quarter of £31,680)
a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State will receive £5,593.75 (a quarter of £22,375)

There's an argument that she should be propped up until least November so that the announcements on 31 October can be made to stabilise the markets.

There's another argument around that she should be let go of as soon as possible so as to stabilise the markets.

Frosty lost all credibility in my eyes when he criticised his own trade deal but doubtless was a muppett prior to that.

The argument to hang onto her is solely a political one. She’s just a human shield to roll out the bad news stories to give the new leader a clean slate.

The question is how far she can drag down the party in the polls between now and then.

It’s times like this you wish a former poster, but still an avid reader, was still around to give us the inside lines from CCHQ.

It seems that there's 15%-20% of the electorate who support the Conservative Party like people support football clubs and will vote for it regardless.

On that basis, she can probably not drag the Party down much lower so keep her in place to get the flack for the broken promises upcoming in the October 31 Autumn Budget, reassure the markets and make a new start after that.

I can understand why the poster you elude to is avoiding posting on the the Forum; the lines eminating from CCHQ must be contradictory and bewildering.

This makes the point that the country better than bumbles on without government. Business does business, doctors treat patients; buses and trains run (subject to strikes), electricity flow, water flows, etc.

With government in place, you'd be lucky to get a doctor appointment; electricity is at risk; sewage gets into our rivers; train drivers go on strike, etc.

It wasn't much different at various times, with various governments, in the past.

Is she though? Sure she made one calamitous decision but someone else will shortly reverse it in its entirety and there will be no long-term damage to the nation, no matter how awful things are in the short term. She was a one-woman disaster area but surely too short lived to be judged “worst ever”.

I’m kind of surprised, given your political preferences expressed on this forum, that you would judge this worse than the irreversible, structural reforms of the Thatcher years.

Exactly. Liz Truss might well have been the least suitable for the job, but the award for “worst ever” requires a substantial track record plus some historical perspective.

Let’s not turn this is to a Brexit fight. The only person who beat, Truss, was Truss.

I think we'll keep this thread going for now btw, we can't keep starting a thread every time we get a new PM.

I should have known that as soon as she said she was a fighter and not a quitter that she would quit! My bad. :dunce:

I empathise with (former) Prime Minister Truss. Only Boris can save us (and the party) now.

I’m kind of surprised, given your political preferences expressed on this forum, that you would judge this worse than the irreversible, structural reforms of the Thatcher years.
yes it going to get reversed Chris but it come at a massive cost and austerity on steroids that is coming to pay for it and mortgage hike too.

even Thatcher would not go that far

I'm guessing Sunak as PM, Hunt remains as Chancellor.

Can understand why Truss agreed to the triple lock yesterday - she knew there was a chance she won't be around when it doesn't happen.

The sticking point remains with Sunak, the Conservatives outed Boris because he received a Fixed Penalty notice for breaching Covid rules. Well, so did Sunak, so what was the whole point of this upheaval, if Sunak gets crowned leader. Sorry but if he gets in, I’m still insisting on a General Election.

Johnson was ultimately outed more because he lied several times about the parties rather than the fine itself. Even then he probably survived that but after the Pincher stuff came out, and he lied again, which was the final straw.

Sunak can move past the fine alone.

Voters realised he wasn’t just sticking two fingers up at the system he was sticking two fingers up at them too.

Easily. But the green card and his wife’s tax position less so.

Liz Truss has a huge agenda, and she should be judged on her ability to navigate it successfully.

I think that is most likely to be what the electorate will do come polling day.

Liz Truss spent more time applying for the job than she spent doing it…

Candidacy announced 10th July, result announced 5th September - 58 days.

Time in office 6th September until 27th October - 52 days

I won’t and neither should the rest of the country. I’m actually agreeing with Keir Starmer, (Somebody bloody pinch me) that we can’t keep having a revolving door, with Tory experiments with Tory Prime ministers and chancellors etc etc.

Remind me, didn't she encourage British citizens to fight in Ukraine, thus not only putting them in danger but also breaking UK law, that was her wasn't it? She has a substantial track record, all of it abysmal, only good thing is she's gone before she could do any more damage, still let's see who is foisted on the public this time with 0.2% at best of the publics approval
