Guest Jedi Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Her chat tonight about staying on is good news, given one poll putting Labour nearly 40% ahead. As long as she is in post they will continue to tank in the polls. They must be weighing up getting shot of her now, and the further upheaval and damage that will do them in terms of polls and keeping her on and hoping they can spin 'growth with us and Labour would bankrupt the country'. They will almost certainly try and drag this out for another 2 years now though. Worth noting that despite Hunt shredding most of her plans, the nastiest part about ditching a cap in City bonuses is still in place, as well as just 6 months rather than 2 years for 'help' with energy bills So instead of handing gas giants 120 billion of public money maybe they are 'only' planning on half that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/17/liz-truss-jeremy-hunt-penny-mordaunt "It was a very British coup. So polite that you could almost have missed it. So restrained that Liz Truss actually had to mastermind her own dismissal. If Librium Liz can be said to mastermind anything. It was like asking a death row inmate to administer their own lethal injection. But it was a coup nonetheless. There may have been no military berets, but we might as well have had a TV announcer saying: “We interrupt this programme to inform you that the United Kingdom has a new junta. “There is no need to panic, but we advise you, for your own safety, to remain indoors. What the country now needs is stable government. Liz Truss is not, I stress not, being held under house arrest. She is just being kept hidden for her own good. She hasn’t been gagged. She has just become an elective mute. And now a quick word from your new prime minister.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reference to eye blinking caught my attention and the hints were woven through yesterday evening's narrative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now a quick word from your new prime minister.” If Hunt is really in charge then this is very relevant and needs to be called out: “The same Jeremy Hunt who had twice campaigned to be Tory party leader and had twice been rejected, most recently in the summer, when he had finished eighth out eight with only 18 Conservative MPs thinking he was worth voting for.” Unlike most on here I did not question how a new Tory Party leader/Prime Minister was appointed because it’s simply a reflection of Parliamentary democracy, but the fact that Hunt had so little support and is now being hailed a saviour is a further indication that the Conservative Parliamentary Party is a loose collection of deeply opposing political views. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
