I’ve heard people saying there would be another leadership contest if she goes but surely that would trigger a GE. How could there not be if another leader went?

 

Because the last date for a general election is Jan 25. They can have it earlier but not later . It would take a majority in the HOC to bring it forward.  The Tories can have as many leaders as they want in the interim and these leaders would automatically be the PM without any legal requirement to go to the country.

It's bizarre isn't it. Imagine growing up and living around here and thinking, "I've got to join the Conservatives."

 

Definitely mental problems.

Quote

Local councillors rejected an extra £660,000 for free school meals just minutes before approving a pay boost to their own allowances.

 

Conservative councillors at Central Bedfordshire Council unanimously voted against debating a motion for an inflationary 10 per cent uplift to the £6.6million free school meals budget.

 

The motion was brought by independent opposition councillor Gareth Mackey on September 22 but the Tories shot down the chance to even debate it.

It was claimed by Cllr Mackey that the free school meals budget currently provides just 82p worth of food per child per day after other costs.

 

On the motion, Tory cabinet member and millionaire Cllr Steve Dixon said: "It doesn't matter if you live in a cottage or a manor house, we're all affected by cost-of-living increases", the Mail reports.

 

After putting down the free school meals debate, the Conservative councillors then argued against a motion to stop their own allowances, which equals to around £1m a year between them, from automatically rising with inflation, and voted it down

Got the impression that even Tory Laura had enough of the vapid shit that Truss was coming out with. Watching on iplayer and there was an audible sigh from Kunnesburg near the end.

Remember Laura repeating a bullshit story about how a tory got punched in the face by a Labour activist outside a hospital in the run up to the 2017 election? The Tories were on the ropes about a kid sleeping on the hospital floor but the phantom punch changed the narrative.

I'd normally agree but with Truss it does feel different.

 

Most of her own mps know shes nowhere near cut out for the job.  She pissed off Scotland/France and Wales in the hustings with stupid unnecessary digs. Now she's been made PM she's caused mayhem with the Bank of England, and pissed off the ORB, plus she's cost the country a fortune. Today she's threatening her own MPs whilst simultaneously having a public fight with the new king of England. The president of the USA has leaked info that he thinks she's an idiot and she's absolutely destroyed the Conservatives standing in the polls within a fortnight.

 

She's been more disastrous than her worst critics could ever have imagined, and this is her honeymoon period. I can't see the Tories putting up with much more of her tbh. 

They stood behind johnson after almost 3 years of scandals and car crashes..however there seems little doubt the entire party is totally split.

Tory MPs saw Johnson was an electoral winner, with some justification. He won as Mayor of London and won a big majority at the last election for them. When he got that fine and the polls started to nosedive they knew it was time to roll the dice.

Even after the fine ,they mostly stood by him.

It seemed standing by that sex pest seemed to be the last straw.

But yeah,she doesn't seem to have anywhere near that level of support

This? 

 

Standing Order 66Edit

After the Revolution, there was a constant threat that non-government members of Parliament would ruin the country's finances by proposing ill-considered money bills. Vying for control to avoid chaos, the Crown's ministers gained an advantage in 1706, when the Commons informally declared, "That this House will receive no petition for any sum of money relating to public Service, but what is recommended from the Crown." On 11 June 1713, this non-binding rule became Standing Order 66: that "the Commons would not vote money for any purpose, except on a motion of a minister of the Crown." Standing Order 66 remains in effect today (though renumbered as no. 48),^[4] essentially unchanged for more than three hundred years.^[5]

Empowering ministers with sole financial initiative had an immediate and lasting impact. Apart from achieving its intended purpose – to stabilise the budgetary process – it gave the Crown a leadership role in the Commons; and, the lord treasurer assumed a leading position among ministers.

The power of financial initiative was not, however, absolute. Only ministers might initiate money bills, but Parliament now reviewed and consented to them. Standing Order 66 therefore represents the beginnings of Ministerial responsibility and accountability.^[6]

The term "Prime Minister" appears at this time as an unofficial title for the leader of the government, usually the head of the Treasury.^[7] Jonathan Swift, for example, wrote that in 1713 there had been "those who are now commonly called Prime Minister among us", referring to Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin and Robert Harley, Queen Anne's Lord Treasurers and chief ministers.^[8] Since 1721, every head of the Sovereign's government – with one exception in the 18th century (William Pitt the Elder) and one in the 19th (Lord Salisbury) – has been First Lord of the Treasury.

I've just got a permanent Twitter ban responding to a tweet several days ago where they were showing the 30 point lead labour had over the Tories and how Truss is essentially killing the tories as a political force. 

 

My response was The death of the tories would be quite welcome. From a political perspective. 

 

Banned.

He seems to be having something of a breakdown this evening.

 

His argument appears to be because people have a phone (and as people have pointed out it's more of a necessity than a luxury) they can't claim to have nothing and therefore are not poor or a stepped on member of the working classes.

 

Think he's back on the shandy.
