Tory shambles

[Limpin' Jez McKenzie]

It’s all very depressing. The two candidates have nothing useful to say on climate, cost of living, Brexit, NHS in crisis etc etc. The only bright speck of hope on the horizon is that this appalling government will surely lose the next election big time and won’t get back into power for many years.

That speck is two years away, and Truss can do an awful lot of damage in that time. It is the usual thing - hard to build things up, easy to knock them down.

Just read that Johnson is getting booed and harangued by British tourists on holiday in Greece.
One was heard to shout: "Get back to work you fat ponce."

His not turning up at the Women's Football Euros and at the Commonwealth Games is supposedly because he didn't want to hear the crowd telling him to Go Procreate.

Seems reasonable.

He was pictured this morning coming down the boarding steps of a plane - presumable returning from hols. Carrie and (I guess) the nanny loaded down with luggage and brats while Boz nonchalantly follows with a small child’s ruck sack - what gallantry!

Meanwhile Gove was stranded at Athens Airport suffering a 30 hour delay cos easyJet can't get the staff - thanks in part to Brexit.
He was harangued over his Brexit lies by this woman - and rightly so

Isn't it time to put the House of Hanover back in charge?

Isn't it time to put the House of Hanover back in charge?

I'm just waiting for the call!

[Limpin' Jez McKenzie]

So it is Liz Truss

Buckle up for two more crazy years.

[ChrisB]

"Welcome to two years of hell".
Well, at least SHE'S resigned

[Limpin' Jez McKenzie]

And just like that, we go through the looking glass into Liz's Wonderland, where money grows on trees, but only the rich can reach them. And wevwill all benefit!

.... when the largesse finally trickles down those of us of more modest means.

They really are the scum of the earth.

[yomptepi]

Bring back Omnishambles.

[Deebank]

Markets have now lost confidence in the government and the £ has now crashed.
As Yomp says, the omnishambles is now starting to look like a golden age

No doubt at some stage some Tory will say “if it isn’t hurting it isn’t working.”

Football fans have a chant for it:

“You don’t know what you’re doing!”

[Limpin' Jez McKenzie]

Johnson’s legacy becomes well-defined as Truss gets on the phone to Zelenskiy while her economic policies dissolve into a mirage.

[Deebank]

It took Truss and KamiKwasi two weeks to crash the economy!
Impressive really.

[ChrisB]

This reign as PM could be as short as a Watford manager

[Limpin' Jez McKenzie]

And yet again the top of the govt. has gone missing at a time of crisis.
And you have one govt representative saying that lots of countries have economic problems so nothing odd here, and another saying the markets are spooked by the thought of a Labour govt!

This administration is already showing itself beyond incompetent.

[Limpin' Jez McKenzie]

Yet more Johnsonism today - it is all someone else's fault.

[Deebank]

I wonder if tories will start defecting.
There's not a lot else they can do really. It must be a temptation especially in red wall seats. But all seats are looking shaky - on current form (according to latest poling) Johnson, Rees-Mogg and a bunch of others will lose their seats.
I mean, it's not like Truss has any sort of mandate for her bullshit. None of it was on the manifesto. And Starmer is practically a Blairite which is practically a tory anyway, so why not?
