Thought you couldn’t get worse than Boris Johnson

Good riddance you lying waste of space.

It seems that the last 3 weeks have gone far worse that any doomsayer on depressants might have imagined in his wildest dreams. Truss, Kwarteng and Reece-Mogg constitute a new axis of morons that the like of which I haven't seen in western politics in my life-time. PMQs is on in 20 minutes, I'm off to the shop to get some popcorn, this could be entertaining....

I haven’t been watching anything political lately but I’m assuming that there have been calls for a General Election? After all I remember well the Tories under David Cameron repeatedly stating that Gordon Brown didn’t have a mandate to govern when he simply took over from Tony Blair as Leader and PM. Remember the stick that Cameron gave Brown over the Despatch Box? It was pretty much non-stop. Ditto Truss. There’s one difference though of course - if Brown hadn’t chickened out and had called an election at that time he’d probably have won because he was quite popular at the time. It would be more difficult to see Truss and the Tories winning a General Election at the moment. To steal a phrase from Billy Connolly, she’s about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit.

For the Torie to call for an election right now would be comitting self-annihilation. They won't do it and will try to use the next two years to recover from the current prosition in the polls. Same reason that Major dragged ou the election as long as possible in the nineties (spoiler alert: It didnlt help him). However, can this be done with Truss as PM? I think they have realised yesterday that the answer is no. I'm pretty sure she'll be gone by Christmas but then the fun really begins, namely, the parliamentary party engineering the last two to both be acceptable to themselves and not JUST to Arthur and Deirdrie in Chester. I still think that Tony Bair is the best leader the Tories never had

[Herlock Sholmes]

We might get Jacob Rees-Mogg as PM if Truss is given the heave ho triggering another far too long drawn out procession of nonentities all trying to sound Prime Ministerial. With her in charge Labour could win a General Election if their leader was called Stalin instead of Starmer.

stop being such a negative old git

[mpriestnall]

Truss, Kwarteng and Reece-Mogg AKA Moe, Larry and Curly...

[mpriestnall]

"PM to hold press conference this afternoon" according to the Guardian website. Kwarteng to be sacked?

[String]

Yes he will be sacrificed and Truss will pretend he went rogue and it was nothing to do with her.
