The end is nigh one suspects. 
 

tories imploding. 

The opposition in waiting.

Come back Boris!

So that part about her leading them into the next general election...?

truss spent longer campaigning for the job than she held it. 
 

Utter debacle.

Come back and finish the Tories off.

Good job you didn’t blink or you’d have missed it.

She did not last long.  Wonder who the next up may be? Any ideas who could lead the UK out of the dark days that seem to have set in?

Go troll someone else. 

I note there is one Truss fan who has been very conspicuous by his absence of late...

About as long as a Tory PM lasts these days.

 

Perhaps longer.

Sunak is the bookie's favourite @13/8

So did the lettuce win in the end?

It will be interesting to see if a real open competition takes place.

 

The last two cabinet appointments have been very clearly a step away from the madness of the last few weeks.

 

 

It is 100 years ago that the last Liberal Party PM was in office. 

 

Will this be the end of the Conservative Party? 

 

Without the EU to scream at, what do they have to unite over? They forced through a fantasy on the UK just to keep the Tory party united, and now in a delicious irony, it looks like it might splinter them apart anyway.

 

The 4+ % plus expected destruction of GDP cannot, this time, be dreamt away by nonsense rhetoric of taking back power. The pathetic growth forecast leaves any government no room to manoeuvre.

 

The cuts have to be brutal. The most obvious are pensions. As pensioners voted to enjoy the pain and sacrifice of leaving the EU, against their grandchildren 's wishes, so they must now suffer the costs. 

 

The only alternative is to face up to this moment of national disaster. Complete servile submission to the EU and a Norwegian-style trade treaty (full access to the EU but no power over the agreement) is the quickest solution in the mid-term. 

 

For too long, the media, goverment and the opposition have agreed to LARP about the Brexiteers' future of unicorns sh×tting rainbows from their bottoms and vomiting glitter from their mouths. This is the now the moment where gravity and reality re-emerges. 

 

Prepare yourselves.

Do stop going on about Brexit .

The current problems in the U.K are due to Covid and the war in Ukraine and many Countries in the world have the same problems as the UK and those werent caused by Brexit

That simply isn't true. The COVID and Ukraine have done a good job of masking and deflecting the economic disaster for the UK, but the economic issues are very clearly Brexit. 

Liz Truss resignation here:

Then why are other Countries also suffering from high inflation ?

Countries that weren't involved in Brexit ?

   Yes, Brexit will have contributed to the current conditions in the U.K , but also Covid and the Ukraine are the main reasons

The current problems in the U.K are inflation which was caused by the war in Ukraine and also how to pay back the money from the Covid costs , which was caused by Covid . 

   The shortage of truck drivers and potato pickers was caused by Brexit , but those problem have been solved 

Brace yourself for a Boris come back - what a choice - an idiot or a liar.

 

The fact remains that the Tories, even with a majority of nearly 80 seats can't form a government.

The King should appoint a cabinet of national unity - e.g. Labour/Lib Dems and centre parties (even a couple of tories!!)

Collapse of a country in 3d ???? 

Brexit may be the biggest humiliation since Suez......but this is the biggest debacle since the execution of Charles 1.

yet again you show a profound lack of understanding of the issues. Covid and Ukraine are international issues - but the UK is faring much worse than it's neighbours and this is ALL exacerbated by Brexit - or project fear as it was labelled by some fools

 

 

 

"I'll lead Tories into next election"
