Liz Truss was seeing Graham Brady. They're having an affair, that's the last thing people would expect!

Hunt did an interview with Channel 4 news that was genuinely frightening

Asked: "In order to calm the markets you have put the burden back on ordinary people with a limited energy price cap and possible tax increases. Do you have anything positive to say, it sounds grim?"

Hunt "Honestly, I dont have anything postive to say to people, it is grim"

The FT, Bloomberg and Forbes all said the same thing. The UK is in a terrible financial postion, 2023 is going to be very harsh.

But if you want to make some nice money in the meantime then short all GBP currency pairs as soon as the market opens on the 31st October.

Truss admits to mistakes and apologises for the mistakes, but then she says she fixed all the mistakes! Try telling that to the people in line to be repossessed Liz.

Parliament is fast becoming a comedy show. Any standup comedian would be chuffed with the laughs Mordaunt got when she explained why the PM isn't there.

Truss is a c*u*n*t. And that's a wordI haven't used for decades. God damn Truss.
Chris Mason should be knighted.

Truss says she will lead the Conservatives into the next election.
I wonder how they feel about that

[Derek27]

Just like Johnson, she's in denial and in a world of delusion. She still thinks her growth, growth, growth policy is the best but doesn't know how she's gonna grow the economy now. I wouldn't trust her to manage a credit card.

Truss will be gone by close of play on Friday.

[Derek27]

And political comedians thought their career was over on Johnson's resignation.

It's going from wreckless to outright dangerous.... Now we have the Health Minister wanting to hand out antibiotics like sweets to disguise the failed health system when microbial biologists universally agree its a terrible idea. An antibiotic isn't a paracetamol. There isn't even such thing as an antibiotic its a generic term for a wide range of antimicrobials. She's more dangerous than Harold Shipman.

It's standard to her. She has to drug men before she dates them.

55% of Tory members want Truss gone. But 32% of them want Johnson back!!

Chancellor tells cabinet that billions of cuts are coming.

Last time, during austerity, all government departments had to absorb 24% cuts each.

Its going to be horrific for many.

Frances O'Grady (TUC General Secretary): According to Liz Truss, British workers are layabouts lacking graft, skill and application. The PM believes Britain's poor performance is down to the poor performance of workers. That's a bit rich from a PM whose own performance crashed the country. She didn't even turn up for work yesterday.
