“50/50 chance PM will be gone by the morning”
i was reading earlier some Truss aides from a few years back gave excuses a couple of times that relatives of truss had died/etc so she could avoid being questioned, she once only agreed to appear on a question time show if an un-named man wasn't asking her the questions, only to find out a change took place just before the show and this un-named gent did indeed question her, Lizzy would be Fizzing, she doesn't like getting tough questions much like her bare-faced lying predecessor.
This is now beyond a joke it's no longer funny and is embarrassing, we used to laugh at the shenanigans in other countries , well now those countries are laughing at us
That was actually the first thing I thought of :hilariousQuote:

My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs.
He's four months old.
They can't hide it though. He is basically laid out his priorities. Him having a job, Him having a promotion. His party being successful and a brief mention of his constituents and the country. A completely classless actQuote:

A Tory MP says the deputy chief whip, Craig Whittaker, just exclaimed as he exited the voting lobby: “I am ****ing furious and I don’t give a **** anymore
I am well past the stage of finding anything about this remotely funny. Brexit aside, they have caused more damage to this country in a couple of weeks than any other government has managed in a full term.
It’s horrifying.Quote:

The Tories on cleaning up elections - pot - kettle. Look at the undue influence part as that is what should be applied to those shouting and pushing. https://questions-statements.parliam...1-05-12/hcws10
Here is the current wording on undue influence from what I can see. Can any of those involved be charged.
Undue influence.
(1)A person shall be guilty of a corrupt practice if he is guilty of undue influence.
(2)A person shall be guilty of undue influence—
(a)if he, directly or indirectly, by himself or by any other person on his behalf, makes use of or threatens to make use of any force, violence or restraint, or inflicts or threatens to inflict, by himself or by any other person, any temporal or spiritual injury, damage, harm or loss upon or against any person in order to induce or compel that person to vote or refrain from voting, or on account of that person having voted or refrained from voting; or
This is both hilarious and terrifying. We are essentially operating without a functioning government.
The thought of Tories battering each other to vote a certain way is funny. The mess they are creating and the fact they may be able to continue making it for another couple of years is frightening. Surely we will be at the polls before Christmas or very shortly after?
Have we had a functioning government since Johnston came to power. It has been one scandal after the next changes in key positions so none of them have a clue about the brief. Yes, it is worse now but it was still a total disgrace under the previous incumbentQuote:

Truss was running around trying to stop the revolution, so she missed the vote. One mp told Mogg t f himself in front of everyone.
That's it so far I believe 😆
The Tories' cocaine dealer has been awol for two weeks, the mood swings and cravings are kicking in big style.Quote:

Jambo **** Ian Murray’s latest tweet is quite shocking:

They are done and should call a general election.
Two Tory whips dragging people in. Shocking

It goes deeper than that however. Public service, peoples prospects, basic requirements and needs... the country is ****ed and its beyond repair. A fully progressive government with throwing money at everything and genuinely trying to improve life for the many would take decades to right the mess... even then as a public service worker...I'm not convinced it's fixable.
The damage to standards of decency and the rule of law is beyond repair.

No votes were recorded for several senior Tories including Boris Johnson, Nadine Dorries, David Davis, Greg Clark, Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Kwasi Kwarteng, Theresa May, Wendy Morton, Alok Sharma, Priti Patel and Ben Wallace
A more awful punishment at this stage would be to give them Ministerial roles :greengrinQuote:

Truss resigns.
Sunak coronated without leadership election.
Announces sweeping cuts to public services, we're all in this together etc, austerity is back baby!
MSM back on side.
Tories win majority in 2024.
The pain continues.
Douglas Ross voted against continuing the ban on fracking.
Wonder if he wants it to take place in Moray.

I think that needs to happen before the Conservatives have there leadership context. They need to go into the election with one of the present lot in charge, lose big time, then start from scratch.
Labour or whoever deserve their chance now.
Hopefully this statement is her confiirming she’s leaving.
