Tories are still lying *******s

There is some irony to the fact that her departure was announced by the Guardian.

[Moulin Yarns]

Over the last few days, journalists have been hurriedly preparing their political obituaries for Prime Minister Truss just as we did towards the end of Theresa May and Boris Johnson’s terms in office.

In preparing just such a piece I was looking back at the Conservative leadership hustings in Perth, only a couple of months ago. I found a bit that really struck a chord.

I had asked her what help she would provide for families and businesses struggling with soaring energy bills and she dismissed Labour’s six-month plan as a sticking plaster.

I pressed her for details of what she would do, but she said she couldn’t write the next Budget at that stage – in August – so I suggested she was asking people to vote for her and see what they get.

Indignantly she said: “I can assure you that is not the way my Government would work. What I believe is in appointing competent people who get the job done.

Two months on, the two-year support deal for domestic and business users which was the centrepiece of Prime Minister Truss’ first chancellor’s not-so-mini-Budget has been slashed to just six months by her second chancellor.

As a former health secretary, I suppose Jeremy Hunt has some experience of sticking plasters, and the financial markets seem to think he is more competent than his predecessor.

Who's driving the fracking thing? Is it Rees Mogg or is this a personal Truss thing? It's bizarre: it's been tried, it doesn't work well in UK geology and the public hate it. Why would you push on given the current omnishambles?

Same with the solar farms thing but the opposite way round. It's just plain weird bad politics.

Every time fracking is mentioned, it is always followed by 'energy security' and 'Putins War in Ukraine', as justification. It seems to be all they think they need. I can't see any communities anywhere supporting fracking, and for that reason I can't see any prospective MP or local authority supporting it either. It will either require pushing through without the local consultation they are promising, or ridiculous levels of pork-barrelling and financial sweeteners to those areas in the form of grants or infrastructure projects, the means for which the UK treasury is clearly lacking. It would be a disaster politically before we even start on the science.

There will be plenty govt grants just for starting up fracking, which will never happen.

She's brought in Shapps? But she sacked him from his job when she was made leader, expressly because he supported Sunak in the runoff They are enemies. There's no way this is her decision, the country is being ruled by tories operating from the shadows. Its a farce.

[grunt]

Dominic Cummings poisoning the well once more:

given Gvt docs, incl OFF-SEN, are routinely circulated by top no10 & CABOFF officials by gmail and whatsapp DAILY, the idea that sending a draft WMS via gmail = sacking/resignation offence is laughable.

clearly fired by PM / Hunt

I agree, schapps is the ultimate survivor, achieves nothing, leaves a mess but always seems to fit.

Meanwhile, a very few Tory MPs are starting to post that they will not be following the 3 line whip and will not vote in favour of fracking tonight. It seems there is more drama to be played out today ...

Weird hill to die on for the tories making this a 3 line whip. Almost everyone thinks no fracking will actually get approved anywhere

CSkidmoreUK
As the former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, for the sake of our environment and climate, I cannot personally vote tonight to support fracking and undermine the pledges I made at the 2019 General Election.

I am prepared to face the consequences of my decision

[Stairway 2 7]

@Olliecole
ANOTHER. Tory MP Tracey Crouch also prepared to lose the whip tonight over fracking. The government have made tonight a confidence vote

💥 NUMBER 3: Angela Richardson - who’s already called for Truss to go - now prepared to lose the whip over tonight’s vote

Suella Braverman was sacked because WMS she shared was deemed highly sensitive - it related to relaxing immigration rules & had significant implications for OBR

No 10 only learned of it after she cc’d wrong person onto email in which she shared it

4 chancellors and 3 home secretaries since 2020. That's some going, and still some think this is strong and stable.

Happiest I've ever been at work was as an 18 year old using the franking machine, it's been downhill ever since

Why is if still 'normal' to use private (Gmail possibly the worst security @ffs) email addresses for official documents (any security marking)?

It should be illegal with jail time!
