Liz Truss

I think you’re absolutely correct. Meanwhile I’ve lost a small fortune thanks to markets crashing, and I never thought I’d have to worry about my DB pension particularly as we were told it was fully funded recently for the first time in years. Thankfully I’m in a position where I don’t need to sell any equities and with luck they’ll be back up eventually.

they will , but she needs to be gone whilst we still have a country to save . we need to give the next PM , be it red or blue, a fighting chance .

Ben Wallace didn't want to run for leader last time for "reasons" - anybody know what those reasons might be ?

If Liz Truss is ousted, who could replace her as prime minister?

Five contenders who could succeed Truss as the Conservative party’s fifth leader since the Brexit vote in 2016

Suspect that it might be that he’s in a job he actually enjoys and is doing it at a time when that position needs someone who has a clue what they’re doing. It also helps to be in a department where the money is flowing in rather than trickling in, albeit that might be about to change. He comes from a soldiering family, served in the Scots Guards, and, unlike his boss, is probably aware of his limitations.

Whatever anyones political persuasion we should all hold the same ambition and vision which is for this country and all its citizens to have the opportunity to prosper. Now that might sound ideological but if you can’t start with an ambition what hope is there. What I see now is a divided, broken country which should be one of the best places to live in the world. Sadly the reality is very different and we are heading for the abyss under Truss. I’ve been a Conservative voter all my life but the current incumbents aren’t fit to lead. Reform and stability is desperately needed. Those calling for a Labour government I fear would be just as disappointed with the likes of Rayner, Abbott et al let loose to try and sort this shit out.

Get in the bin.

Labour would be 10x the government compared to this shower.

Very good. He's an unusual case in that he's one of those rare Conservatives who has also served as an MSP at Holyrood. His background is actually remarkably similar to that of Iain Duncan Smith, so maybe his time is yet to come.

Three PMs into the current govt and it's not really clear what the manifesto or mandate is anymore. They should have to have a GE now really. It's a shame as her last act her majesty didn't send them packing from Balmoral to do just that rather than form a government

Clearly you haven’t read my entire post. Not once did I or would I defend the current government but just saying a Labour Government would be 10 times better with no foundation is laughable. The way they left the country after their last term would suggest they are no more competent or capable.

How they left the country 12 years ago isn’t relevant to now though.

It‘s in a much worse state now that it was then anyway.
