We're speculating Truss's successor won't be voted in the membership, aren't we?

Not survivable.

Given the people behind it, yes, Brexit had to be as hard as possible. There were no good Brexits, just varying degrees of shit, and we ended up with number 1 on the Bristol stool chart. Our anus will hurt for a long time.

He was selected for his Brexit credentials wasn't he? I would say there are no competent economists who thought Brexit was a good idea from an economic pov. Given his position now, it is shit like giving him the top job rather than a rationalist that is the problem imo.

So what does that mean in practice for Jones? That every penny he earns will be taken from him and he will die in penury in a bed sit? Here's hoping.

Hasn't he actually committed to NOT buying bonds though? Rightly or wrongly, he's playing chicken with HMG.

Not sure, but bypassing the blue rinse brigade would require a major rule change.

Yeah, what's in it for him though? He wouldn't win a GE. He doesn't strike me as egotistical enough to think he could.

That's what I meant by even less democratic. A Sunak coronation would look awful. Not sure he'd want to be part of it tbh, does he want to be an opposition leader?

I agree that's probably the least worst option but it's still pretty dire. Especially as 1922 would need to change the rules to make it even less democratic.

Replaced by who though? I don't buy Johnson will risk the humiliation of being unseated as a standing PM. Sunak or Mordaunt then? Talk about a poisoned chalice. Also surely they'd have to have a GE immediately?

This poll is for the blue wall.

I'm not familiar with him. But Bailey is a cunt mind.

Depressing thread here, a reminder that the Governor of the BoE is a stupid Brexiter cunt.

Could have been worse......

Phaelps just said we were the fastest growing economy in the G7 in 2021 and ALSO this year. We're entering a recession. Are all the other countries in worse recessions? Edit: a quick look at OECD data and guess what, it appears to be a lie.

Sabre rattling with the EU again (NI protocol) and the French (channel refugees). Yawn.

Lavery being half decent for once.

SHe's fucking abysmal. She doesn't answer a single question, just repeats the same bull shit mantra over and over. Johnson did this but it is so much worse when Truss does it. Sickening.

SOmebody should ask this bitch what's the good of heating homes once your home is repossessed. Also, her constant implicit criticism of the BoE is not going to end well. I am genuinely getting concerned by their denials and delusion.

The sight of Coffet nodding like an obese mastif behind her makes me physically sick. I literally cannot believe she is younger than me, not even 50 years old. What an advert for the NHS.

She's a Buddhist? I hope she's reincarnated as Trump's tapeworm.
