She’s back
Not sure being loyal was a Boris strong point, could always ask his ex-wives

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
This Truss thing gets stronger and stronger (good news for the ruptured... ). Now at lunchtime the BBC announced that she had ORDERED the King not to attend COP27.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Apparently this from the Truss at Conference, according to the Grauniad:
“We’re cutting public services to increase spending on public services.”
Conservative MPs are, it seems, now threatened with withdrawal of the whip if they do not support Kami's 'budget' - that should hasten a defeat in the HoC.

I refer the Honorable Gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago..
Wonder how long it will be before she grabs Boris's crown as "Worst PM in living memory", which is traditionally handed down from each succeeded PM
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Rumours that certain aspects of the mini-budget 'will not get through' the Commons.

Perhaps putin should hire some backbench tories to plug the gaps in his defences?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Well
Will it be Sunak back as Chancellor or leader?
Will the dread prediction
At least the Truss now has that £2.3bn back she could spend on 'levelling up' again.
I was wrong. Remember, the Truss is 'not for turning'. What this does for international confidence in this shambles heaven only knows.on 23rd Sep I wrote:I'm picking up the shreds of the Chancellor's 'budget' and I now wonder how long before the 'new' plans are changed? Judging by the Truss so far I reckon about 3 weeks.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I gather the Chancellor, despite doing the rounds of 'interviews' this morning, has bottled out of going on GMB to be torn apart by Martin Lewis and has sent a minion instead.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
.....and so it goes on
First we hear of hedge fund managers cashing in on the made in Downing Street kamikwaze budget.
Now we learn of the appointment of a fund manager as a minister.
Not just any fund manager.
He’s a Conservative donor and the co-founder of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s investment company.
If someone had written this in a book, you would treat it as science fiction!

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
The next 'U-turn' is expected over the plans for benefit increases and Gove appears to be leading the rebellion. (Does he perhaps smell a hint ........?)
Also a staggering admission by one of the government's leading Brexiteers that they had not be 'fair' in their dealings with NI or the EU. Stap me vitals! Whatever next - a pig flying past my window?

Probably a formation of pigs.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Now, according to the Torygraph..................
"Nadine Dorries calls for a general election
Having backed Liz Truss for Tory leadership, former culture secretary says PM ‘must take to the country’ if the premier wants a new mandate"
I'm getting the porcine runway ready. Is she going to switch to being Starmer's comforter, then?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Once again it appears hedge funds may have made a killing on the government's U-turn on tax. Funny that?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I know, but there are still some dear blue rinses who think the Conservatives are wonderful and pure.
