It's all falling apart alarmingly fast for Boris Johnson across the water. How long you reckon he has left as British Prime Minister? Hours surely?
How many parties are they talking about now? I've lost count.

I'm rather annoyed that you didn't go with "Kamakwasi". It was right there! 🤣
Two of the biggest culprits choosing not to feature it as all as their main story
Something has to give , it really does.
I mean this is the state of the place before the budget changes have actually been implemented.
There is a straw somewhere getting ready to fall on a camels back very very soon.
I think most people care more about keeping their families warm, fed and a roof over their heads rather than what someone thinks a woman is or isn’t.
Criminals released from jail because of dirty strikers and Harry and Meghan are evil 😂
Liz truss walks in to a fridge. Hi Boris, hi Eskimo.
Taking to the streets just walking about the place is pointless. Nothing will change. The general population need to riot. But they will never do that, the days of any effective mass civil disobedience, events last seen in the poll tax riots, they will never be seen again. Rioting is now seen as the sport of looting urban teenagers. The general British population are under a cultish spell to stay servile and subjugated to do exactly what the establishment tells them to do. The place is ultimately doomed.
An unintended consequence of this is 100,000 Irish people will be heading across the border to do their Christmas shopping if it gets worse!
Another statistic which will show the NI economy is doing much better than Britain.
Not if the British Govt have to hike VAT as an emergency they won't!
This is an excellent explanation of what has occurred over recent days.
Excellent and devastating.
The shortest Premiership of any UK PM was 119 days, a fella called Canning from April to August of 1827 and only because he died.
It is now absolutely inevitable that Liz Truss will beat that record by quite a bit now and not because she's terminally ill.
There will likely be a successful recall of Parliament now, before the end of the week, because honestly Parliament will be kinder to Truss than the Party Conference scheduled for these next few days.
And if Starmer lays a vote of no confidence, as is his wont, the BoJo loyalists and liberal wing of the Tories will back it.
So there will be a general election around the end of October and Truss will not return a majority and be jettisoned.
However, the best thing about a General Election very soon, is that the financial measures Kwarteng announced last week will never be voted on, let alone passed.
Where did it all go wrong? From pork markets, to well...pork markets.
I thought you might enjoy this :)
I LOL'd
Feck em.
They made their bed.
Has she shown up in Ukraine yet, thats been the go-to distractionary move for incompetent PMs...
The Euro is looking like it may end up between 85 and 90 cents.
That's going to cause big problems and drive inflation long term, at the least it might force the ECB to raise rates more aggressively.
We are all currently adrift in our ships in a Sea of turds.

Quantitive Easing will eat into pensions. House prices are predicted to drop 10% next year. This will not go down well with the typical Tory party member.
One Nation Tories must be wondering what happened to their party.
Polls are showing Labour on 45% but elections are the opinion polls that matter.
Liz Truss must be planning a visit to Kiev.
That seems to be the current norm whenever a UK political crisis is present.
She is gonna join the Russian army. Anything she touches is fked in a week so that'll be the war over.
And as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared.... well conversation with Zelensky at least. So she is alive at least
Except the UK (excluding NI) is offering VAT refunds to visitors from the EU. Real 3D chess stuff.
Savvy shoppers will head to Larne, get ferry to Scotland and be able to claim back the VAT on the assumption that there won't be any VAT checks when they get back to Larne because the DUP would go mental if there were any.
Free read of these articles until Friday.
Seemingly Truss will be breaking her silence tomorrow and will be doing the rounds on radio tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a car crash.
Some local BBC station? Soft-ball interview no doubt.
Sounds like she's getting ready to hit the ground then
From this it sounds like it was very serious today, there was a run on pension funds
£65 billion is what they spent shoring up the markets today alone. Huw Pill will be a household name this time next week.
A Liz Truss interview tomorrow, will automatically be a car crash.
It cannot be otherwise, because it is utterly impossible to defend the indefensible. If she persists with it, she's f*****. If she performs a U-turn, she's f***** too, because it was her FIRST project and she blew it up. Self-imploded completely.
If she tries to throw Kwarteng under the bus, she's f*****, if she doesn't try to, she's f*****.
She has no way out now except to ask KCIII for a dissolution and take her chances.
The thing that's so depressing for the British public who want rid of the tories is even when the inevitable happens and they get their marching orders,Labour will be inheriting a totally trashed economy.
I have a pension fund with Aviva which has dipped in the last few days.(It had started to rally after covid) scarey times.
Could the whole government fall as a result of this?
No the majority is too high. Only hope there is that loon Truss calls an election to "get a mandate"
Possibly. The rules say 1 leadership contest a year but they never thought of specifying is that 1 a year per PM or 1 a year.
That wouldn't bring down the government though.
