You'd take her above the current loon, though.

I'll also say it, triple lock should go. Is ridiculous that pensions could increase above inflation.

Heard that also. Can’t see it happening though

I think the one group she still has the support of is the pensioners.

If she pisses them off then I think that covers just about everyone.

Maybe she is a Lib Dem secret agent after all!

Oh I think they're going to get it, I mean a rough deal.
Sounds like they're very much a target over the next 2-3 year's and I've said a few times on this thread it will be no time at all before 70-75 is the qualifying age.
Sounds like they're going to tweak thing's to get a economically inactive 50 somethings back in a job.
Shouldn't need to really the economy will sort that.
I guess the issue will be partly private landlords etc

Cowards!

Go crazier, push the dial all the way around. Dorries or Braverman next!

duffer · Oct 18, 2022

Just a thought, but if we've now got two unelected heads of state, with no actual influence on legislation, and no need to attend parliament, wouldn't it be cheaper to just keep Charles and sack Truss off?

Given the way she curtsy’s to the king I’d say she’s still anti-monarchy.

Either that or she’s on an NHS waiting list to have her knees and hips replaced.

So many outstanding candidates, now I think about it.

Braverman blaming Labour, the lib debs, guardian readers and people who eat Tofu for the protest in Dartford.

Yvette Cooper trounced her.

Triple lock now gone.

Are there any promises left to break?

They did keep their promise to remove the limits on bankers' bonuses, in all fairness.

She’s another mentalist. If anything even more than Truss.

This might be enough to turn my mad uncle against them, my Dad is at the 'They're all as bad as each other' stage of denial.

How many more letters is that?

I thought they had a rule where she is protected for 12 months?

fernandopartridge · Oct 19, 2022

Imagine having voted for that party with all of the utter fucking complete cunts in it?

The rules seem to be easily changed to suit whatever they want to do

PVA · Oct 19, 2022

Yeah they can change the rules if they want to.

They can fuck off with having another leader though.

Stick with Truss or General Election. No alternatives.

wingy · Oct 19, 2022

Union bashing and triple lock the order of the day.

Brighton Sky Blue · Oct 19, 2022

Watching the BBC Politics Show before PMQs the host asked a Tory MP why Truss hadn't delivered the extra anti union legislation as promised.

At PMQs Truss says anti union legislation will be on the way as an 'achievement' and blames striking workers for hurting the economy. Starmer ignores any comment on strikes in his responses.

The media and the Tories actively oppose ordinary working people, Labour is neutral. So who is on our side?

PVA · Oct 19, 2022

But Labour, but Labour, but Labour

Pathetic from Truss. She's so shit at this

Keir Starmer says a book is being written about the PM’s time in office. It will be out by Christmas. Is that the release date or the title?
Truss says she has delivered the energy price guarantee, and will be cracking down on unions. That is a better record than Starmer’s.

Starmer says last week Truss criticised a six-month energy freeze (Labour’s plans). Then the chancellor made her accept it. How can she be accountable when she is not in charge?
Truss says Starmer has done nothing.

Starmer says: “What’s the point of a prime minister whose promises don’t even last a week?”
Truss says Labour’s promises do not reflect reality.

Starmer says working people need to pay £500 more on their mortgages. What is her response? Just to say she has apologised?
Truss says Labour needs to reflect the economic reality. Interest rates have gone up around the world. She is being honest with the public, she says. And what will Labour do about workers going on strike. She will bring forward policies to address that.

Starmer says Truss is asking him questions because he is an opposition in waiting, and Labour is a government in waiting. Why should people trust the government ever again?
Truss says she is legislating to keep the railways open. He is doing nothing.

skybluetony176 · Oct 19, 2022

This fracking vote that Labour has brought forward this afternoon is going to be interesting. She’s attempting to whip her MP’s into voting against it or be expelled from the party. Large numbers of Tory MP’s are vocally against fracking and if there’s a big enough rebellion she’s done for. If she isn’t already done for.

skybluetony176 · Oct 19, 2022

Sounds like she’s pissed her party off during PMQ’s. Nothing to do with answering the opposition benches questions rather her own benches questions. They’ve been asking her to confirm various things won’t be cut and she seems to have made promises that none of them will leaving her own benches asking themselves exactly where are these cuts coming from. Almost looks like a set up from her own benches. She also allegedly gave the ERG reassurances during their meeting last night on the NI protocol and when asked by a member of the ERG to reaffirm those reassurances in the commons she’s not only declined but backtracked. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. It sounds like she’s saying one thing in one room and something different in the next just to get through it.
