ewerk 26441 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Well that explains her last couple of weeks claiming that no new leader would have a mandate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34606 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It's being pointed out in twitter that Johnson used to send the paymaster general Michael Ellis to respond to his UQs. Should Truss choose to do the same, the person currently in that role is Chris Philp...who was also sacked at the same time as Kwarteng. So he might have to turn up to answer an UQ about the PM's decision to sack Kwarteng (and him). Let's fucking DO THIS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34606 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Fucking Mordaunt ruining everyone's fun. Or is this her trying to look Prime Ministerial. Either way Truss looks shite for not showing up given she was already planning to sit next to Hunt at 3:30. Now she can't make 3:30. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14626 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It’s over, and has been for days. This is just the death rattle. So, do Labour want a GE? If so, how can they force one?.. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put red wall MPs to a decision and more than likely get them on the record as supporting Truss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tories try to carry on with a newly coronated leader though I think they are literally finished as a party. They might already be anyway. I can't see any way out for them now.

I'm a compassionate person and I hope she steps down for the sake of her own health. The sooner she does this the better for all of us. Renton wuvvvsssss her. I have no sympathy. If she has any decency she'd have realised she is out of her depth and resigned. Sociopaths tend not to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17825 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Howay then, let's do the sweepstake. I'm going for Wednesday 19th October, 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34606 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The fact she's letting Mordaunt do her UQ is being taken as a possible sign of imminent resignation. Presumably she'll go before PMQs if so, no point putting herself through a final humiliation. I'm going for tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14626 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) If she’s not turning up for this why would she go later or do PMQs? 6pm tonight Edited October 17, 2022 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Therese Coffey. It wasn't the case with Johnson and given that this will be a coronation rather than an open contest if probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference. They should give it to Rehman Chishti just for the lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
