So, where do the Tories go from here? They won't want to do whats right for the country by calling an election - and I assume their own rules won't allow them to replace Truss without another leadership contest. We and they are in deep do-do, with no obvious way out.

The tories are screwed and its glorious

The Tories are in till the next election which isn't for another year or two or three, so if by your schoolboy logic they are screwed then how are things glorious for the general public including your family presuming you haven't changed your opinion again.

Bye Bye Chancellor

lmao!

It's like trying to knock a nail into a knot in a plank of wood talking to you, the Tories with a capital T btw will have at least another 2 or 3 more years in government, so if things don't change it's going to be difficult for the working class so how will people rejoice in that time which was what you implied in the first place.

The PM will be gone by next Friday according to a lot of political sources lmao

So Jeremy Hunt fails up again, and is the new chancellor. He promised even bigger tax cuts than Truss, so this may get even worse!

Should I change thread title to the new prime minister is Jeremy Hunt ?
Or even Rushi Sunak pulling the strings of the backbenchers ?

I'm in my fifties and the circus that is going on (and has been since BJ was elected), is, by some distance, the most shambolic governance in my lifetime.
Although I'm happy for the Tories to implode, the damage being done to the UK on the world stage and in terms of finance could cost us for many years to come.

It's an utter disgrace.

I see the French and the other EU countries aren't doing too good either, maybe it's not just the Tories then.

Don't ever change Chissy.

If you think anyone in the world is laughing at France or Germany the way people are laughing at the UK right now you are truly, magnificently, deluded.

Me deluded ghosty simply stimulating debate that's all, and it's not taken long has it
