Lettuce pray for her
Goodbye to the least self aware person in politics. I wonder if this will get through her thick skull or whether she'll pin it on leftists and the deep state?
By the sound of it, you already know the answer to that.
She can go eat a whole bag of spotted dicks.
Quite sure that nobody will be missing her.
The star of a BLT is never the lettuce. If it is, ugh.
The fact that she blamed the Tory defeat on things like not scrapping the human rights act is spectacularly ignorant. What a useless politician she truly was. Fuckity bye.
It amazes me that she nonetheless came so close to keeping her seat. Who voted for her?
I don’t like how it was a labour landslide. I hoped it would be more balanced with the tories getting fewer seats than green if any.
Her constituency are more anti Labour than they hate her. For them it was begrudgingly vote her still for the sake of conservatism or move onto reform. Owen Jones did a video where he went there to talk to the public. Some of them were crazy.
Interesting. Thank you.
Edit: Is this the video?
That's the one!
The real enemy arrives by yacht and limousine, not in a small boat. The rich are the people killing this country, no one else.'
That guy knows what's up.
Fewer seats than green would mean under 4 seats. We can dream I guess
The lettuce wins again?
I think JRM going is up there too.
yeah moggie is much worse than this trumpette
I hate her so much. Looking forward to watching her eat a severed dick on I'm a celebrity to try and stay relevant.
Didn't she lose it to the party that's even further right though? Not from the UK, just what I understood from another conversation...
According to the article, she was beaten by someone from Labour.
Yeah, someone else clarified that people were probably talking about the vote split going further right making her lose her seat, it wasn't people voting labour instead of conservative.
I think what they meant is the votes that made the difference went to the further rightwing party, making her lose
Oh that's probably it! Thanks
What about the pork markets?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Johnny Mercer, Grant Shapps, Gillian Keegan, Lucy Frazer, Penny Mordaunt, Michelle Donelan, Alex Chalk, David TC Davies, Victoria Prentis, Mark Harper and Simon Hart are among the Tory big beasts who fell as Sir Keir’s party swept to victory.
She attended the Conservative Political Action Conference in the US earlier this year and took part in an interview with Steve Bannon, who served as a senior White House aide to former Republican president Donald Trump, and she remained silent as he hailed English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson as a “hero”.
Using more than £70 billion of increased borrowing, he sets out a package which includes abolishing the top rate of income tax for the highest earners and axing the cap on bankers’ bonuses while adding restrictions to the welfare system.
The PM admits she could have done more to prepare the ground for Mr Kwarteng’s financial statement, and she faces accusations of throwing her Chancellor “under the bus” by saying the abolition of the 45p top rate of tax was made by him, and not discussed with the Cabinet.
In an unusual intervention, US President Joe Biden appears to join in the criticism of Ms Truss’s original plan, telling reporters “I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake” and calling the outcome “predictable”.
October 18: Ms Truss survives a meeting of the Cabinet without any ministers calling for her to quit, while Mr Hunt tells colleagues they must review departmental budgets to find ways to save taxpayers’ money.
