Will Liz Truss survive October?

[Jark]

politically speaking.

 

[COB]

I say yes, but only by a week or two.

 

[Soldi]

Time wise I reckon it’ll turn out like 2019, December election announced at the end of the month after the government throw the towel in. I agree with what someone said here the other day about them rather being in opposition and letting Labour deal with the economic shit show.

…Although if the current polling pans out then wouldn’t that leave Ed Davey as leader of the opposition?!

Wouldn’t the SNP still have more seats than the Lib Dems? Nicola Sturgeon for leader of the Opposition.

 

[VoR]

I don't think they'd voluntarily throw their jobs away. More likely Sunak/Mordaunt are installed by the end of the year and we have to deal with them until 2024.

 

[Indie]

I think she'll turn it around and spend the next seven years as PM.

 

[Soldi]

Surely considering that the party is already record breakingly unpopular, another change in leadership would be seen as EVEN MORE undemocratic.

 

[Lucille]

It would take NERVE to install another leader and not call a GE.

 

[VoR]

Yes but I don’t see why you think they’d care?

 

[Lucille]

Just saying, the bitch (the bitch being the Tory Party) do have NERVE!

I wonder if they'll find a loophole to disqualify her retrospectively from the leadership election and do it like that?

I’m not in England but I don’t have any faith they’d be voted out despite what the polls say.

 

[Jark]

already 62% yes vote is looking naive

 

[Ill Advised]

I think she is gone by Wednesday. Can’t see her doing PMQs even if she is hanging around as she has already sent Mordaunt to answer an urgent question this afternoon

Oh, that is WEAK.

 

[Jark]

I was wrong.

I'm sorry. but I've installed @Soldi as my chancellor, so let's draw a line under it.
