BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

He has been disloyal to every Conservative PM he served under. He promised Cameron that he would not support or canvass for Brexit, actually I think he promised to Canvas for Britain to remain in the EU. However when Micheal Gove( I think it was him anyway) decided to support the Leave campaign for the Leave side as well even though he promised Cameron he would not. It was a tactical decision so he could get a tilt at the party leadership down the line.

He was disloyal to Threasa May as well. He critised the Brexit deal she was proposing( and completed virtually the same deal but with a poorer outcome for the UK. He promised the DUP no border on the Irish sea and put that pretty much in place.

He expected total loyalty having never been loyal to any leader before him.

Just said this to the Mrs. today. Like that fucker jogs on a regular basis. 🤣

Seems to have a knack of doing that whenever he's featuring heavy in the news. Get the feeling he might be doing it mosty for the Photo-ops. Is it that he thinks that "running = good PM?" and that photos like these will make him appear that way?

Boris....buddy....you also have the be good at the job to keep people thinking that. "Jog on" you Eaton twit.

I don't. She is so incredibly deluded and desperate to frame the narrative and to re-write history to convince everyone that it wasn't her fault, all without a hint of responsibility or acknowledgement of her part in the mess.

Their failed strategy was the first opportunity. Literally within days of taking their positions, they tanked the economy in ways that they're still now struggling to make good. Pretty much every developed country is struggling with inflation. Truss and Kwarteng's nonsense policy, which they were heavily warned against and continued to defend until the political, not economic consequences became too great, has compounded that.

She wasn't thrown under the bus. She painted herself like a speedbump and lay in the road.

Many? Who? Apart from Truss herself, there is literally no one calling for Truss to come back. It wasn't just her policies. There were massive doubts about her ability before she even got the job. The fact that she was unable to deliver on her own main plan proves that she was incapable.

A leader complaining that the only problem was that they were unable to get others to follow is, by their own admission, not a leader.

Let's remember what happened. Johnson was kicked out. The Tories needed a new leader to steady the ship, and prevent the loss at the next election. The call at the time of Johnson's leaving was that the Tories should call a GE, to get a new mandate. They argued they didn't, but obviously, they needed to get a long-term leader to take them through to GE 2024.

That they could see how awful she was within 40 days tells you all you need to know. THey turfed her out, knowing that the calls for a GE would be massive and that this really was their last chance. But they took that chance because they knew that giving her any more time would be even worse.

You can be sure that they had party talks with her. They would have tried to understand the long-term strategy, the overall plan. She couldn't even convince her own party that she was able for the job.

A proper chance? You think the party didn't ask her to explain what she was doing, that others didn't offer advice on how to fix things?

At no point do I believe that the Tory party decided to ditch Truss for any other reason than they could see how totally inept she was. It certainly wasn't their 1st choice. To believe she wasn't given a chance is to completely forget that the party itself gave her the job in the first place.

She refused to take any input from the OBR, that is what spooked the markets. She then sacked the Chancellor. It isn't like she came into the role with a stellar performance behind her. She was a lightweight politician with little or no achievements and certainly had no discernible leadership qualities.

The Tories gave her a chance by voting for her as PM, and then realised, too late, that the concerns of many were actually being far too generous and she was even worse then anyone could have predicted.

45 days. Let that sink in. IN the history of PM's in the UK, there has never been such a term. Because despite other being unpopular they had least had something to them, some ability. Her party, and this is all down to the party and those are the ones that saw her up close, could see that she was incapable and actually keeping her was worse than the risks inherent of getting rid of the leader so quickly.

She has realised what she stands to lose by quitting. Sounds to me that she quit in a pique of rage, probably expected that once Johnson quit the whole party would threaten to follow him and Sunak would be forced to give her the peerage.

But none of that happened and now she is looking like throwing away the only bit of importance she has for nothing. Time to dig in and hope that nobody remembers!

Johnson is back. In Daily Mail form.
