GMBHD itv
reports she has appointed Greg Hands MP
who was a Rishi Sunak choice.


[Liz Truss has handed a government job
to a Rishi Sunak ally in a move that appears
to signal her intention to bridge the divides in the Tory party.

The prime minister appointed Greg Hands
as a minister in the Department for International Trade,
replacing Conor Burns who was sacked
from his post following a misconduct complaint.]

[The Bank of England has staged its second emergency
intervention in as many days,
as financial institutions step up calls
for it to prolong its bond-buying programme
to shore up the British pension system.

The BoE widened its £65bn gilts purchasing
programme to include inflation-linked bonds
in its latest attempt to stem “fire sales” by
pension funds that have created a “material risk
to UK financial stability”.

Tuesday’s move, the first time the BoE
has purchased index-linked debt,
initially helped steady gilt markets on
a day when the IMF reiterated its doubts
about UK economic prospects.
It followed the BoE’s increase on Monday
of the programme’s
daily maximum purchase level to £10bn.]

Bank of England governor signals
no extension to bond-buying aid
for pension funds

The Bank expanded its intervention to
help pension funds again on Tuesday by
buying up index-linked gilts,
a day after increasing the daily amount it can spend
on long-dated gilts.

The pound is going to dive even further tomorrow after truss insisted there would be no cuts in public spending. There are only a couple of ways the government can balance the books and cutting taxes and borrowing is not one of them

yeah i heard that, but if they dont go through a leadership contest of some form it will look even worse. They need some time to shore up their support again and just anointing a new leader isn't going to achieve that :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

Sunak was the runner-up, I suppose he could be the "default" to take over?

[joeysteele]

If it was the first change of PM from the last election it could be possible to look okay.

The pressure I think is likely to be applied to Truss to resign rather than a clearer forcing out.
The members too would be livid NOT to get their say again.

Changes to electing a leader is what's needed and I do think in ALL Parties it's the MPs we elect who should choose their leader in parliament.

I still think to change not just leader but PM again twice while in power should not be acceptable to the electorate.
It just would stink to high heaven.

In opposition sort things out if they can be and elect as many leaders as they like.
In government however, where continuity and competence is essential.
It shouldn't be right for any Party to be playing about like this with leaders and the high office of Prime Minister.

Actually I wanted Sunak or Mordaunt - either of whom should have been chosen anyway.

I am still staggered any right thinking person could have looked at Truss and seen a PM. She is 'at best' a primary school teacher. That's it.

BUT, it looks like Sunak or Mordaunt might be taking the reigns of power. What a God-Send. :hee:
