It's becoming quite clear that nobody wants Truss in power, possibly including her, but they have no way of getting rid of her without changing their own rules or forcing her to resign.

I went on record saying I thought Labour calling a confidence vote was a bad idea because it would provide Truss with an opportunity to rally support. However, that was before her Home Secretary resigned for breaking a minor rule (but actually is just loving annoyed she can't bomb refugees), they had a confidence vote that wasn't a confidence vote it was just a Very Important vote that they felt they needed to force people to vote for, and the Chief/Deputy Chief Whips resigned but haven't actually resigned.

VONC should really be tabled as soon as possible.

Not overly impressed with this Charles Walker character. He's constantly catching himself to say oh yeah, I guess the plebs are going to have trouble too, whereas it's quite clear he's concerned only for his worthless colleagues losing their worthless non-jobs and that if tories are out of power he'll get fewer bungs for a while.

Oh, he's emotional? Not the party he thought it was? How sad. People are going to die because of his party's policies. Maybe he should be loving sad. gently caress him.

Well yeah, gently caress him. He's a tory.

I don't think anyone ITT was impressed (I'm sure liberals are clamouring to make him PM as we speak), it was just pretty notable to hear a tory speak like that

Yea this is the one thing making me think she might manage to hang on, because all the Tories know how to do is talk to the press and lie. To get Truss out they need to actively make changes to the rules and figure out who should replace her, and they are universally too cowardly and inept to actually do poo poo.

Labour granted urgent question on Braverman

Labour has been granted an urgent question to the new home secretary Grant Shapps - on the dramatic departure yesterday of his predecessor Suella Braverman.

Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, will ask the question at 10:30.

And that nobody wants to win anyway. They're not that stupid. Truss looks like she's looked in the Ark of the Covenant after just 6 weeks.

That's bullshit, Brady has already said that the rules can be changed. They're just covering up the fact that they haven't figured out who will succeed her yet - which means they haven't persuaded enough MPs to get behind Sunak that they could have a coronation rather than a leadership election. When that happens, Truss will be told that she's no longer leader and asked to step down rather than drag it out in public.

I believe that is a joke referencing The Day Today with Peter O'hanrahanahan.

Everytime I see Trevelyan's name I always go "oh yeah, the descendant of a politician so evil, they made a folk song about them is real and in power."

For Americans it would be the equivalent of their being a Senator Mary Arnold, the descendant of Benedict Arnold.
