BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

Probably a lot of young tory members finally deciding they should actually learn about this EU thing theyve been railing against for the past 2 decades

"Lay the foundation" wtf does that mean. I heard Truss at the same nonsense, it is a meaningless statement.

You are the only one refusing to stop talking about brexit, also being pro-eu in the UK doesnt neccessarily equate to reversing brexit.

Tory party imploding, 1st Mourdant says benefit payments should rise with inflation while Truss refuses to confirm if they will, then Truss tries to distance herself from Kwarteng's decisions by refusing to say if she trusts his decision making 🤣

What was said at this meeting about "reversing Brexit" or "rejoining the EU" ?

When Kinnock was Labour leader it seemed impossible that they would ever be elected to power. They had to regroup as 'New' Labour under Blair & later Brown, a face that was more acceptable to the voting public. I wonder if Johnson & Truss have done such damage to the Conservative party that they need to reinvent the party image in a similar way. They need to go into the next election or probably the election after next with someone completely new at the helm that hasn't been tainted by his administration.

Truss confirmed that they will? When did she say that?

So they are refusing to countenance pay rising in line with inflation, as it will lead to more inflation, but welfare recipients are going to get it?

When did Truss confirm this?

"The prime minister has now refused to rule out real-term cuts to people's benefits, and not debunked rumours of a return to austerity.

Critics who forced a U-turn over the plan to abolish the 45p tax rate for top earners are now stepping up pressure on the Government to confirm benefits will be raised."

"Downing Street has not denied suggestions that Truss could resist rebels’ pressure to instead increase benefits in line with earnings, which are expected to be much lower than inflation."

Oh my, this is the man who was sat there laughing at the queens funeral!

"Kwasi Kwarteng has blamed the “pressure” of the Queen’s death for mistakes in the mini-budget which has plunged the Tory party in crisis.

“We had a nation in mourning and then, literally, four days after the funeral we had the mini-budget,” the chancellor said."

"Mr Kwarteng also sparked fresh confusion over his next financial statement, saying: “It’s going to be 23 November,” – despite the Treasury briefing it has been brought forward to October."

"Their levels of rank ineptitude is really impressive."

Also highly entertaining.

It really is quite incredible the speed of the implosion, especially considering there was nearly a 2 week period where nothing politically was happenning. Liz Truss is really out of her depths and making so many unforced errors.

Might be good for the UK in the long run, surely now the tories will be unelectable in the next election.
