[Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

[Bodian]

Johnson is currently on holiday is he not? Optics are terrible and Labour have even more ready made attack lines against him.

Fabricant said on 5Live that he was in the country, not abroad (in which case he could have voted yesterday?)

LuLu Lytle has just knocked on No 10's door asking for £40,000 for the new wallpaper that Liz Truss ordered to replace the shit that Boris had hanging in No10's lounge.

Exactly, as Robert Peston says

He also says his hair is real. He says lots of things that truth isn't a friend of.

Unfortunatley due to Brexit, unless you have EU Citizenship thats no longer an option

All joking aside, his price has dropped from 20/1 to 3/1 in less than 3 hours. There will be rioting on the streets of London if that lying, conniving Fecker gets back in to power.

40/1 last week.

France currently have their own problems, apparently. Macron invoked some rule or some such that lets him push his budget through without anybody voting on it.

I'd move to Italy where politics is more stable.

I'm glad I escaped before the transition period ended

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It was late when I wrote that and in the cold light of day I've decided she's as mad as a box of frogs.

Course it is, you just have to have a certain income (think it’s around €1500\mth), a smattering of schoolboy French and apply for residency.

Lizz Truss was in office for 44 days, 10 of which were national mourning and two weeks for conference season. 12 days work, and is now entitled to 115k a year for the rest of her life as a former PM.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Exactly, as Robert Peston says

Reported on R5 that some tory MPs have declared if Johnson stands (just stands, not wins) they will resign from the party. Better to be elected as a tory and resign the party than see a man on the ballot who had earlier resigned for being a liar.

Other tory MPs openly wishing Johnson will stand.

What was it that Thatcher used to squark about the labour party? Oh, yes. SPLIT!!!!!!!!! They are split from the head to the arsehole.

Isn't that the amount of time that Clough was in charge at Leeds?

You have to hand it to her - the incentive to f*** it all up and resign to spend more time with her money, sorry, family, was massive. She may go down as the canniest PM of all time. As well as the worst. What a gal!

Autumn 2022 almost feels like a stranger time than Spring 2020 did if that's possible!

Regarding the 100 MP threshold to stand in the next leadership election, does anyone know what happens if no-one reaches that number? Perhaps an indicator that no-one can lead a party that holds a majority in parliament? Meaning...

BJ automatically gets the PM role
