    You're a hard man

    You could be right, but someone would have to be pathological to not be feeling terrible strain in her situation. It's like watching a non-swimmer slowly drown. She is done for and knows her political career is over.
    Something tells me she will fall on her feet. Unlike many of those whose lives will be shortened by her repugnant party’s policies.

    Ooo that was a bit pompous by me there

    How long does she need to hold out for before she gets the book deal and the series of speaking engagements that will be lapped up by the sovereign individual crowd?

    I'll save my sympathy for people who don't take on a difficult job having been warned it's a difficult job before failing in that difficult job.

    Oh yes, she will have the book deal etc. All former PMs can make a fortune, and her turbulent story would be a big seller, but for all the wrong reasons! The worst PM in history.

    £45 million
    £50 million
    £15 million
    £45 million


    Personal net worth of the last 4 PMs from Major to Cameron with the Labour two in the middle. Most generated by the speaking and policy writing circuit.

    Theresa May is just £3million but to be fair she’s still in the first flush of youth and just getting started.

    I still think Johnson was worse merely for the unnecessary deaths during Covid and the fact he stayed when he should have been sacked about 3 times. Like Truss he was completely unsuitable for any type of office in Government never mind PM. Both struggled to put a sentence together unless on a script and both had no gravitas, conviction or empathy when they spoke.

    There's no chance of any of that for Truss.

    You don't think there's a captive audience for a padded out version of "I was right, you lot are all right and I was derailed by the pesky anti-growth coalition (including those within our own party) who didn't give me enough time to implement what we all know to be right"?

    Who are the right-wing think tanks that so influenced Truss and Kwarteng?

    The estimate for next year has went from 6% to 5.3% just today. I've seen economists today say they reckon that will drop to 4.5%

    Although who knows with this mayhem
    Thanks that’s interesting.

    You could look to secure a deal at today's rates which would be valid for 6 months, and see where rates are nearer your remortgage and make a decision to accept that deal or apply for a remortgage at whatever rates are in 6 months.
    Good call. Hadn’t thought about that. Thought I might be committed.

    Institute of Economic Affairs is the big one.

    Absolutely no sympathy from me for the shapeshifting coward. I hope she rots in Hell along side her heroine Thatcher.
    Yup hate is a strong word but I despise everything about Truss. She offers nothing and has caused huge damage in a matter of days. I wishe her the very worst for the rest of her career and I hope the £115k she is guaranteed each year from now in as former PM is challenged and reversed.

    No. Certainly not enough to get a book contract.

    People are going hungry and some will die of cold through the winter. It's hard to summon up any empathy for those who have caused this, whether it be her mental health or physical stress it's nothing to what she has already consigned people to.

    Step back and look at what happened. She and Kwarteng have been hothoused and sponsored by Hedge fund types for years. Within hours of their first meaningful actions in power they've engineered a few billion in the direction of hedge funds. Its daylight robbery and "feeling concerned" about her doesn't figure on the horizon for me.

    Schemed and connived her way to where she is, sat in every Bozo cabinet and deserves not a shred of sympathy given what she was content to unleash before and since she became PM. Surrounded herself with folk based on their apparent loyalty to her so maybe they'll help her out.

    Having listened to Truss being interviewed by Chris Mason of the beeb this morning, I'm not altogether sure she'd pass a Turing Test.

    He should have asked her what day of the week it was. She is basically repeating a mantra regardless of the question. Worked for her predecessor for many months after he should have been sacked. IF she can get the mantra distilled into 3 words she has a chance

    What one word fits with pork and cheese, her other 2 "highlights"?

    BBC political reporter Ian Watson was on Radio 5 earlier talking about the various meeting Truss attended last night.

    An un-named Tory said that listening to her was like hearing a corpse deliver its own eulogy.

    Excellent video, grunt. A cabal of fundamentalist lunatics, funded by extremely wealthy people, were behind the crazy mini budget; now they must be put under the spotlight. The general public has no idea what goes on.

    She probably does, it's now just a matter of trying to save a little face before leaving. The party can't afford yet another leadership contest, so they will allow Truss to limp on until a consensus replacement can be agreed.

    Is there an established means to replace the leader without a contest, or is it a case of rewriting the rules first?
