FFS, don't talk about the nuclear option of electing another leader. Putin might take it the wrong way. ;)

Danny Blanchflower, formerly from the BoE has stuck his neck out and said she'll be gone within a week. I think I'll purchase a fresh iceberg lettuce. :D

Whats the mechanism for getting rid of her. I thought she was "safe for a year" ?

1922 committee can change their rules, they can vote against the next budget resulting in a powerless government, humility on Truss's part, although that's unlikely, or perhaps the sheer embarrassment and humiliation will make her step down. :)

I was on Jury service when the prosecution accidentally called the defendant Mr king canute. It's just as well I had a face mask on 'cause I was in stitches. :lol:

I did warn people that Truss would be a disaster many months ago.

Although I didn’t think it would be this quick.

Her only get out of jail card is to do what Mrs ‘T’ did in the 1980s and go to War.

Unfortunately that could be the end for us all. Therefore, if I were the men in dark/white suits then I would whisk her away quickly before she asks the cat for the launch codes.

Any chance the Argies might be pursuaded to invade the Falklands again?

:lol: You are clearly bonkers! War as a solution is pretty much proven to be a crap idea. It's usually a last resort against agressors that should have been removed from power by their own people.

I'm convinced Truss is a robot. Her vocabulary seems limited as such. "I am determined to deliver", "I acted decisively", "What I have done today", "I have acted in the national interest", etc.

The only time she ever will genuinely act in the national interest is when she resigns. :)

This is true according to Twitter memes

I am slowly starting to understand what is going on
