What.A.Trip
For a given value of stitched up... Presumably Cruella has actually demonstrably done something that breaches security protocol otherwise Truss wouldn't be able to sack her/demand resignation. And if she's dim enough to be caught out (she is), should she be in one of the great offices of state?
Get the High Offices into the hands of the less mental ones then go for the PM. This is their only option now, Gove and Raab will follow soon no doubt_Os_ wrote: Wed Oct 19, 2022 4:22 pm Can you imagine this chaotic government getting politically damaging fiscal policy through parliament, without "cake and eat it" or unicorns? I can't see these morons suddenly becoming serious enough people to end this mess.
Braverman admits she has “concerns about the direction of this government”. In particular, she says she has concerns about the government’s commitment to reducing overall migration numbers. This is a direct reference to Truss saying that she would like some types of immigration to rise, to promote growth. She also says she has “serious concerns about this government’s commitment to honouring manifesto commitments”. This passage makes this look like a policy resignation, from a rightwinger (with leadership ambitions) perhaps unhappy about the fact the Tory party is in effect under the control of the more centrist Jeremy Hunt.

Two others replied "Ditto"
Be careful what you wish for. Suella Braverman could yet be the next PM.Slick wrote: Wed Oct 19, 2022 4:25 pmGet the High Offices into the hands of the less mental ones then go for the PM.

Just announced that the Back Frack or Sack vote tonight is no longer a vote of confidence, as too many Tories were prepared to vote against, and they couldn’t expel them all.
One Tory MP just asked in the commons whether it was a confidence vote or not, and the answer from the minister was "I dunno"
Not surprised.
It is good to see the conservative party so corrupted by lies and dark money completely eat itself. With any luck people will now realise the papers instructing them to vote for these morons are wolfs in sheeps clothing.fishfoodie wrote: Wed Oct 19, 2022 6:28 pmNot surprised.
Once more a Tory Leader has marched their MPs up to the top of the hill, forced them to vote for a deeply unpopular measure, & then abandoned them, with a reverse ferret; but the MPs who voted as directed are still fucked with their constituents.
