Good to see you back posting btw, if maybe not the ideal thread to start off with
Hadn't realised Sajid Javid was fourth shortest serving chancellor since the war - feels like he was there for an eternity compared to the last pair!
Shortest serving one died of a heart attack too, so hardly his fault!

On lunch so thought I'd pop BBC News on to get caught up. Of course they're busy getting stuck into Thornberry about Labours plans for the economy rather than talking about Kwarteng being sacked and the government is in chaos.
Thornberry pointed out its pretty hard to respond when even those in government don't know what the current plan is.

What an utter shambles of a Government…if they had a shred of decency they would call an election and let the people decide….turkeys don’t vote for Christmas though!
Not just Kwasi going allegedly, complete clear out at the treasury.
She’s dodged at least one bullet today then.
Two if you include that she no longer has to put the budget to parliament as it clearly wasn’t going to get through.
in times of crisis appoint a man who couldn’t remember his wife's nationality, that will sort it!

Truss' letter says Kwarteng resigned.
Kwarteng's letter says he was sacked.

BBC reporting that a group of senior Tory PM’s are going to call for her to resign this afternoon. Might be some legs in the she is resigning rumours.
Sorry, that should be next week not this afternoon. Maybe giving her the option of going on her own terms.

Scandalous really isn't it, at a time when the country desperately needs leadership.
Oh Liz, this is the 2nd worst move you could of made.
Makes you look weak, clueless and not in control of the party you lead.
Still will someone think of the weirdos in Tufton Street

Apparently her letter thanking Kwasi for his service has been signed by Kwasi. WTF is going on.
Even in this world, it would be absurd wouldn't it.
Makes Brian Clough at Leeds look a model of stability!
