UK General Election 2024 (or 25)

Truss is gonna need a new handbrake, old one must be worn out by now.

i mean just truss out would be good bet. think they could hand it to rishi to sort economy out then boris beats him and starmer in GE

[Derek27]

A former Tory cabinet minister told Ruth Beth, Truss has damaged the party, economy and their elections chances. It's too late the recover, the damage is done and she has to go.

If the country would re-elect a proven morally corrupt person like Johnson again as PM then perhaps we deserve all that we get....

Keep talking Liz. Every time you open your mouth Labour shorten.

Last poll I saw if translated into seats gave Labour 530, Cons 29, LD 16, SNP 52...

Which would put SNP into official opposition and not able to vote on English laws (due to
the English votes for English laws bill)... What a farce that would be...

The Conservatives have at least 120 seats that would still vote Tory, even if I rocked up wearing a blue rosette.
If that poll suggests they'll win 29 seats, I'd dismiss that immediately

[Derek27]

I think a Labour majority should be about 1.8, but nothing would surprise me, which is why I don't bet on it, and I've made a loss on every political market I've traded.

If Truss does really badly (every time you think things can't get any worse it does!), Johnson might be welcomed back, Tory voters will be so glad to see the back of Truss they'll forget everything Johnson's done. In fact, Johnson/Sunak looks quite competent in comparison to Truss/Kwarteng.

[Archangel]

While the speed of self-destruction is remarkable, Truss as PM isn't an aberration or accident. It's an inevitable consequence of the trashing of truth & norms that the Conservative Party embraced for Brexit. We have normalised madness now and are reaping the results in real time, like watching a car crash in slow motion

[Derek27]

Us traders take decisive action every time we open or close a trade, Mrs Truss. And we're risking our own money!

[Archangel]

Apparantly at tonights Conservative 1922 Committee meeting there were calls for Liz Truss to go !

That will probably be followed by calls for Johnson to come back!

[Derek27]

Even Andrew Pierce of the Daily Mail is condemning the present government, the game must be up for them.

[Derek27]

If you've seen PMQs today, you might have noticed that Penny Mordaunt, rather than showing support for Truss, looked despondent, as though she's thinking, what the fuck am I doing here when I could have been PM.

To be fair it was the Guardian that did the translation into seats not the polling company - I do like the scenario though )
