She is a genuinely awful human being and the further away she is from any form of actual power the better. Your wish is her command. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter, the damage was already done. Yet another act of complete self-harm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 19, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2022 There really ought to be a procedure in place for when a party isn't able to form a consistent and organised government. I guess no one every planned for this level of chaotic idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it means Labour might get the majority but as it is an opposition day motion, it means nothing. Now you'll see how monumentally stupid the three line whip on making it a confidence motion was Losing this vote will change absolutely nothing policy wise and it never would have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2022 What's going on is just absolute insanity. It's completely staggering how utterly incompetent a bunch of people can be. It's hard to imagine the party members being angry at the MP's if they forced Truss out. They may have chosen here but there is no way they can be happy with what she's done, how she's performed. The have to see she's pissing away whatever it was they wanted by getting her in power. This just has to end for the sake of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read earlier that this isn't the case - this is apparently the precursor to one of those Brexit-war style "opposition takes control of the order paper and actually makes legislation happen" type scenarios. Edit - had they won, obviously. Edited October 19, 2022 by ml1dch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sense I get is the membership who voted for her are feeling betrayed by the Jeremy Hunt side of the party staging a coup and taking away what they voted for.
