She’s blaming Putin!
LOL! I am still amazed by people that deny the elephant in the room.
Yeah, Starmer you are next!
The lettuce wins!
Lettuce might win it
It's a Romaine plot
Anddddd gone
So not forced out, just that no one else believed her mental policies and 'mandate' then?!
Must be some shenanigans behind the scenes to get this sorted sans the membership surely? That can't go full Braverman after this surely? Surely?
Ding dong the witch is dead...
I work in a large building with a big central atrium
For some reason a lot of cheering broke out across several floors just now
And so the next phase starts. Illuminating to see an establishment figure calling for people to hit the streets if they don’t call an election.

She's a quitter, not a fighter.
😀

Barrells all the way down.
i think she has just realised it is a no win job. seriously who the **** is capable out of all the parties ?
not ****ing one of em will make a good leader of the country.
Ffs another bloody leadership election. Don’t they get the hint, gtfo tories
If an election was called they still need a leader to fight it.
Excuse the silly question, but what does she mean by having another election in a week? Will it be a general election or one within the tory party?
Didnt actually say resign though, odious little b1atch..
She definitely did.
I'm in a coffee shop with headphones on and judging by the strange looks I'm getting I possibly shouted 'YES!' a bit too loudly!
I think she means the election will be finished in a single week?
She had that smurk across her face at the end did she just dive into that range Rover?
Will it be a general election or one within the tory party?
It's all down to Tory MPs. They have a majority... they can choose any path they want now, but they need to agree on one. I suspect they'll choose a leader amongst themselves before the end of the month. All we can do is prepare to make sure they don't have that majority to do whatever they want again (and keep up the public pressure to have that vote as soon as possible). When we get the vote again, we need to make sure we all vote, and vote to make sure your constituency doesn't return a Tory MP.
not **** one of em will make a good leader of the country.
None of them. Nil! Zero! Kaput!
Not within such short period. This is an energy crisis and thanks to "climate change", there is no backup plan. All eggs in one basket ...
Unless of course Labour is going to create new "energy" from thin air ...

@binners that means she’ll be gone by 17:00Posted 5 hours ago
Dammit, I almost wrote ‘lunchtime’

Yep, Brexit has that effect.

Now, the endive is near...
Wasn't watching. Was her husband dressed in his scruffies like he was still stripping Carrie's awful wallpaper off?
I feel it's appropriate to share this again.
So not forced out, just that no one else believed her mental policies and ‘mandate’ then?!
Of course she was forced out. The statement was just deflection as she didn't want to admit it being turfed out by the backbenchers.
Quick! Jacob Rees Mogg! Now's your chance... 8-0
Out of the frying pan, into the fire, then into the passing flow of lava...
Well I didn't think it would happen that quickly!

I walked into a cafe after my ride to find no staff anywhere, spotted them huddled in the kitchen round a small screen and as I got near they all erupted in a big cheer! Saw the headline on the screen and joined in 🤣
Yep, Brexit has that effect.
You look to EU for leadership? Yeah right ... they are all running scare. Even EU don't have a solution to energy crisis.
Unless of course Labour is going to create new “energy”
Chewkw, the turmoil we are facing is not all about energy you know.

deffo mate. we as a country are well and truly fubar.
t’s a Romaine plot

It's all Cos of Putin though...
Now, the endive is near…
Nah, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Chewkw, the turmoil we are facing is not all about energy you know.
Accumulation of Brexit, Covid-19 and the nail on the coffin is Ukraine/Russia war.
You cannot isolate all the factors.
questions - who can they find that will unite (at least three) different factions of the party in the week, sufficient that they can convince the nation and markets that they can govern the country in difficult times.
And assuming that it isn't a coronation, and there are several candidates, who can present anything like a mandate in time?
Surely the like of Patel, Braverman, Rees Mogg are just too divisive to even be considered as a unifying candidate?
an energy crisis and thanks to “climate change”
Climate change is real. And a present threat. And our energy supply must be moved away from fossil fuels as fast as possible. Truss (like you) proposes the opposite, and she is on the wrong side of history. The Tories need to learn that lesson fast, and divorce themselves from the policies of the Tufton street mob and their pro fossil fuel backers.
Resigned Kos she was so terrible.
How did the fracking vote get turned into a vote of no confidence?
The government intended to lift the ban on fracking without a debate or vote in the House of Commons, claiming that as the government it was solely their responsibility.
The Labour Party tabled a motion which said that it must be debated and voted on by parliament.
It wasn't a vote on whether to allow or ban fracking only to debate and vote on it.
The government claimed that it amounted to a vote of confidence in the government.
Climate change is real.
Real or not this is not the time to deal with that.
However, it will be very funny if Starmer stars banging on climate change ...
Perfect summary Ernie.
As far as I can tell Labour are saying the Tories did it, and the Tories are saying it was Labour. Does anyone know the answer?
Labour decided to put in a opposition motion for a bill to rule out fracking. Probably just for a laugh/put some pressure on the tories who are rather split on the subject.
The tories then decided to turn it, effectively, into a vote of confidence by imposing the three line whip.
God knows why at this stage since it was only the vote on whether to have a proper put through so plenty of time to mess around and/or impose the whip when it came to the final bill.
So Labour responsible for the vote occurring but the tories responsible for it becoming such an important vote.
James O'brien last night was speculating we might be just one or two Conservative leaders away from actually admitting brexit is the problem.
Boris says don't touch the wallpaper.
James O’brien last night was speculating we might be one or two Conservative leaders away from actually admitting brexit is the problem.
Only if they have weak leadership. All weak leaders will blame someone or something ...
How can we not have a GE following this?

Depends how fast they turn them around! We're probably 8-10 years away from that... whereas we might have two more Conservative leaders before the next election.
All weak leaders will blame someone or something…
You blamed Brexit further up the thread. Anyway, I'd better stop feeding the troll.
No Jeremy #unt for pm then that's a shame prince Charles could have had another #unt come to tea

Its not though. Brexit was and is a symptom and not the cause.
How can we not have a GE following this?
why bother, not a single one from any party is capable.
charlie should ****ing hang em all at the tower. and have monarchy rule.
Brexit was 'caused' by austerity and low growth.
It's lead to austerity and lowe growth.
So the solution to reversing austerity and low growth is ........
this is not the time to deal with that
For once our resident troll is right. The time to deal with the climate disaster was 50+ years ago.
Imagine being one of the many civil service types that she sacked 44 days ago. Sacked by a donkey
One thing's for sure, the House of Commons is definitely more entertaining than House of Dragons.
How can we not have a GE following this?
Constitutionally, it's valid - they're talking about it on BBC now.
why bother, not a single one from any party is capable
See, this is the beauty of Conservative rule... it can persuade us, with the help of the media... that "they're all the same"... and opposition politicians get tainted with all the failures of the Tories being in power. Time to kick them out and give others a try.
I'm hearing* Rishi running for PM, Mordant deputy PM and Hunt as Chancellor.
*son has uni friends with Tory contacts.
Quick! Jacob Rees Mogg! Now’s your chance… 8-0
I would love to see him given the job voted in ,then destroyed in the same way as Truss,but I fear him and his millions of pounds couldn't give a toss.
Meanwhile the world looks on in bemusement at the UK Gov soap opera.
I hope they have checked the Westminster basement for any stored fireworks.
They'll never vote rishi though.
The lettuce wins!
😀
I’m hearing* Rishi running for PM, Mordant deputy PM and Hunt as Chancellor.
Looks like it'll be those three... they should probably shuffle it up if they want to keep their party members on side though. Sunak as PM is less of a unifying proposal than having him back as Chancellor and Mordaunt as PM. Hunt to FCO or HO. No way he's going to be PM... that's why he's got the "bridging" role he has now.
They’ll never vote rishi though.
It should be obvious by now. There will be no party member vote. Mordaunt and Sunak, and one will step down before the vote. See May. Rishi will be the next PM.
So now we'll have the wonderful situation of no action take against those who didn't vote no yesterday and those who did getting hammered in the polls if there is an election. It's difficult to imagine how you could screw things up more
and, I wish someone had slapped that smug look before she went. Just for the smugness, nothing else
So, we've got to go through this leadership debacle again, weeks of each other slagging each other off, then some other nobber getting in. Fab.
Pity the Carry On crew aren't still going - Carry on Minister !
Unless of course Labour is going to create new “energy” from thin air
That's the plan, lift the ban on onshore wind farms and ramp up solar generation.
Brexit was and is a symptom and not the cause.
No Brexit really is the cause of a lot of our problems, increased trade tariffs, loss of a committed workforce, increasing racial intolerance, lower investment in the UK. The vehicle of small minded xenophobic and blinkered people on the right and the left.
Whoop she's gone. My wife had a go at me last night for following all this too closely, especially as I did the same with Johnson's exit. She rather forcefully reminded me to be careful what I wished for, but it can't actually get any worse can it, of course it can.
Like Pritti, that could be her natural face-look.
It should be obvious by now. There will be no party member vote.
I was talking about the MPs....
So, we’ve got to go through this leadership debacle again, weeks of each other slagging each other off, then some other nobber getting in. Fab.
Only this time it'll (mainly) be behind closed doors with little public interaction.

This, 100% this.... Operation fear in fruition
What a time to be alive barely able to meet rising costs, heat my home and pay for food!
No Brexit really is the cause of a lot of our problems,
all of our problems i reckon.
we are ****ed, and no amount of grovelling will get us back in the club.
we bring **** all to the table.
Guessing that sunak/mordor/hunt combo was set even before hunt arrived as chancellor, it was fairly obvious especially when Shapps rocked up too.
As said above, no need for the pesky members to be involved if all but one of the candidates takes a step back nefore the 'voting' starts.
Real or not this is not the time to deal with that.
I'd say that this is *exactly* the time to be dealing with it!
The time to deal with the climate disaster was 50+ years ago.
The best time, yes.
But the currently available best time is RIGHT NOW.
And not in 2 years time.
We need a general election NOW.
The Tories need to drop their IEA pro-fossil fuel nonsense completely in the next week if they want to survive that election and stay a major force in UK politics.
As said above, no need for the pesky members to be involved if all but one of the candidates takes a step back nefore the ‘voting’ starts.
None of them capable of uniting the party and coming up with any answers to the energy crisis, cost of living crisis and the overall task of righting the rudderless ship HMS Great Britain as it founders on the rocks.
This country is absolutely ****ed for a generation now.
So farewell then, Liz Truss.
Lasted 6 weeks,
then thrown under a buss.
Brady just said members will be voting. I think we all know that's not going to happen. So they're f***** over their members too.
Well I only joined the Labour party a couple of hours ago and I have already brought down the PM!
then thrown under a buss.
She was driving a mad clown bus and drove herself off the edge of a cliff.
Crazy-legs, you underestimate the tories. Sure, they won't give a stuff about us plebs, climate etc but if they can see the gravy train is ending I'll bet they bite their lips and put on a united face to save their own skins for the next two years and asset strip as much as they can before they can't avoid the GE
I mean, I'd love to see the tories implode with infighting as much as the next one but horrible feeling that experiment is over. Sunk will likely improve the polls slightly and they'll all fall in line behind him publicly
Please tell me she won't qualify for the pm pension.
all of our problems i reckon.
It isnt though.
The problem is the fracturing on the right and systematic failures across the board which led to people voting for brexit.
Whilst rolling back brexit would solve quite a few things it would still have the underlying problems which led to it being considered as an option in the first place.
