There's really no need for all the hullabaloo; the Civil Service is still intact. You do all know that it's the CS that really runs the Country don't you?

Being in charge of "trickle down", he’d be producing, not taking…

A Tory source tells me a substantial amount of letters gone into Sir Graham Brady who is apparently away in Athens but returns on Monday. “Wait till he gets back”

On page one of this thread you'll see that 11 letters went in on day one of her taking over, speaking of which, aren't there any rules giving her a specific period in office like there are when someone survives a leadership contest?

A year but I am guessing if the numbers are there the rules could be changed and the men in suits will appear.

Typical, bozos troubles started when he decided if he didn't like rules he'd change them, it's as if they've learnt nothing from him being forced out of office in disgrace

At the end of the day, the prime minister is the MP most likely to have the confidence of the House of Commons. Party leadership election rules are secondary.

This no time to call a General Election! Let the Tories hand the mantle of PM to Jacon Rees Mogg and ensure that they will be truly unelectable.

So Truss sacks the Chancellor who was just enacting her policy. Truss has to go

Well at least we know the electorate can no longer dictate who their leader is. That after Boris pissed off the establishment and actually took us out of Europe, they got rid of him. But then when their choice of Rishi was dismissed by the membership by a candidate that promised tax cuts and a growth policy.

They decided they had to destroy that, and no we have Hunt, f**king Hunt. Remainer in chief, mr status quo, mr appointed.

Cue, capitulation over the N.I. Issue, cue, subordination to the EU.

Cue a Labour Government that has offered nothing.

**** it, I’m too old to give a shit.

With any luck my mortgage is paid by December, and I can weather the crap for a few years from any government of any colour, but U.K. politics is in the toilet because at least with Blair there was a vision, a belief, a destination.

Starmer offers nothing apart from being not Tory. (Which will be enough)

Jaymoss · 15-10-2022, 00:28

Least Labour will get rid o the bedroom tax saving me £40 a month haha

And there was me (and almost every one else) thinking it was because he lost the confidence of Tory MPs because he lied about knowing, then defended, then tried to change the rules, for someone who was a repeat sexual predator…
