Quite interesting re-reading the first few pages of this thread - long before anyone anticipated her becoming Prime Minister.

She's even sober in this one

Almost certainly. I suspect they are hoping that only one person (Sunak probably) will get to the 100 nominations - so no need to go to members.

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

Did he call him a Steve Baker?

And reduced her majority.

Yes - not sure why I put 22! Must be all this '1922' committee stuff floating around...!

If the latest polls are to be believed, the Tories would retain under 100 seats. So, it is in the National Interest to let them demolish themselves further and get themselves down to about 10 seats, from which I'm not sure they would ever recover (like the Whigs).

Yep - chief whip has resigned (C4 News) because she was told to whip, and now it's not a confidence vote.

Anything they put forward now that looks at all popular will just be nicked by the Tories and resold as a Conservative policy. I suspect we won't hear much of Labour's plans till much nearer the election.

The policies of the Labour Party under Blair in relation to Public Services directly led to me getting a job in 1999. I still hold that job. From 2000/2001 we were able to increase staff gradually and eventually there were five of us. So, yes, he did change my life for the better - along with...

Did you not hear her - it was 'The Previous Government' who were/are at fault. Whoever they were - obviously nothing whatsoever to do with her....

If she hadn't 'acted' in the first place - the markets wouldn't have needed re-assuring....

Not only the ins and outs of global finance, but also experts in epidemiology, PPE supplies, long-range missiles, military procurement in eastern Europe - and so on.

This thread is much wider than Truss. I much preferred the thread title of 'Tory Meltdown' which we had for Johnson....

Funnily enough I don't recall her saying quite that!

Yes indeed - repeatedly referencing the interviewer. It's presumably out of a textbook of 'how to look mates with the interviewer' - but just comes across as creepy. I can't see her doing the after dinner speech circuit that is usually the fund provider for retired Prime Ministers.

"Let's remember what we were facing..." seems to be her start to every single interview.

It means that it was all Corbyn's fault obviously.

There's quite a few jobs that pay higher than, say, nurses. Is he suggesting that all the nursing staff who are struggling should leave and get a better paid job? Same applies to many other local authority staff who's services we all rely on.
