I know Boris planned to shrink the civil service but nothing compared to the cuts being talked about now. Why should anyone believe that this is the only way to do things and why should anyone embrace it when times are bad enough as it is

The BoE spent billions propping up pension funds for 2 weeks. Thats why we now need cuts on the scale we do now. This is all as a direct result of Truss and Kwasi ... and she is still PM and the tories are still in power

There's a nagging part of me has me almost believing the Cons may want to lose the next election.
I'm still fairly sure that couldn't be the case though.

there is a reason the big guns still left in the party kept their heads down at the leadership election. They know now is not the time

yep, but unless there is a rule change, she can't be challenged for a year

I heard she will probably resign in the next few days or a rule change forcing her out will be made

It’s a done deal apparently

will she turn up for question time or hide under her desk :laugh:

It could be difficult for Starmer as he has to get the tone just right

For Labours interests, I think he should relax and go easy on her in order to leave her maybe in place a bit longer.
As really she has to stand up today and give assurances to the total opposite of near ALL she said she was committed to last week.
A farce and even ridiculous in itself.

However for the Country, this waste of political space needs exposing for how hopeless she really is.
So he maybe should really go for it today.

I agree he has to get the tone right however.
Probably best to go through all she stated was right and what she was committed to just 7 days ago.
Which now is near all nonsense and reversed.

He could go on the rumours of the triple lock re pensions.
However all he will get there probably is ' wait for the Chancellor on the 31st'
However it's a strong issue which she must still have a view on as PM.

I laughed this morning when James ( not so) Cleverley
Said that in previous PMQs Truss had been shown to be on top of her brief.
What brief was that ????

bots 19-10-2022 08:45 AM

Cleverley is a lying twat. The way he was wriggling this morning was laughable and he is anything but clever

Gusto Brunt 19-10-2022 08:55 AM

Boris Johnson now 'favourite' to take over from Truss. :shocked:

The same Boris who was ousted a few months back. :D

Absolute nuts!

what they are not mentioning is that when the energy help ends in April, it's going to push inflation through the roof. It will be 15-20%

It's pathetic, the two year prize freeze was basically the only stick Truss had to beat Labour with.

smudgie 19-10-2022 09:20 AM

Truss has to go.
I really don’t want to vote for Kier Starmer to win, but rather him than the muppet ministers we have now.
