Liz Truss

Well we regularly socialise with plenty of her colleagues, and, admittedly they are mostly now climbing up the ladder, they all think the same. When you start a career, you're underpaid, you progress or put the time in your salary goes up. That's what she has done and she's happy with her salary. She'd like to get paid more, as we all would, but she like most of the people she's works with know that. Love.

I wonder why there are so many vacancies in the nhs, if the pay is that good.

How can she be "removed"? Convention says she resigns and recommends a successor. What if she recommended another right-wing idiot who tries to perpetuate the faux "enemies" in the anti-growth coalition?

So the monarch just appoints a new idiotic Tory as PM then another then another until they run out of time in 2024? Because they are certainly not going to run out of Tory idiots. He would be perfectly entitled to pull the plug on that, ignore the PM, and take "soundings" about appointing someone who could command a majority - a majority of Tory MPs.

Mate, if you wanted to get there I wouldn't start from here.

In 2010 Gordon Brown had to hang about in No 10 while the Tories and Lib Dems cobbled together a coalition that could command a parliamentary majority, once that was achieved Brown went to the Palace to say bye bye, then Cameron went to the Palace to say hello and blah, blah, blah.

So Truss can't go to see the monarch and nominate her mate Sir Tufton Bufton on a whim, even dim witted Charlie might ask if Tufton could command a parliamentary majority and without the backing of the Conservative Parliamentary Party the answer would be no. So our gormless monarch would tell our gormless PM to bugger off and come back when there's someone available who can command such a majority, that's what constitutional monarchs do.

Bottom line, if Truss can't command a parliamentary majority she must resign, if she refuses, she will be ousted in Parliament in a vote of no confidence.

Civil service pay should be tied to the national average in some way.

Currently the average for a nurse is £33k and the national average is £38k.

Nursing, teaching, policing etc. are occupations that our country is built on, to educate our kids, maintain the law and keep us in good health and should not be “below average” jobs.

National average wages are somewhat skewed by the really high wage workers. 33k is neither a poor wage nor a great one. It very much falls into the average bracket.

Could Charles lead a coup?
