Given the chaos of 4 leaders in 6 years they might try to get rid of Truss but the problem there is unless the leadership rules are changed they cannot have a leadership contest for another 11 months.
There is of course a small possibililty of a no confidence vote but that would be like turkey's voting for Christmas.

I'd pay good money to have the economy running as well as Project Fear predicted!

According to Beth Rigby on Sky News Treasury sources have said the Chancellor will not be resigning and there will be no reversal of policy.

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
Where's Truss when it's all going pear-shaped. Will she pop up in Ukraine?

Aah, a special fiscal event operation, not a budget. Understood. Full mobilisation of MPs not required just yet!

Had to laugh at these two Tweets from The Independent's deputy political editor.

That wasn’t the deal.

And now pensions are at risk.
Is there anyone left not in some financial danger from the plan to turn the UK into the biggest roulette wheel in the world?

Who's gonna argue with jfman on this one? Not me.
I wanted to sit this out for a couple of weeks to see how things would develop. But outside forces (no criticism of them from me) have made it difficult for the Guvmin's policy to succeed. Indeed, I now expect the imminent Budget to undo a lot of this in sneaky ways such as reneging on the pensions triple lock.
Oh dear.

I had thought another Wokingham area resident or someone else might take up the cause but it seems even they acknowledge it's an impossible task. Truss can't say she wasn't warned beforehand as she was.

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
Liz Truss is getting crucified in a series of local radio interviews this morning.

This is a national matter in which she could have done one interview instead of lots of small ones. Far better use of her time when she has an important to-do list.
Is she afraid of a big hitter taking her down in a national interview and was banking on a soft touch at local radio?
