PM appoints Jeremy Hunt as chancellor after sacking Kwasi Kwarteng

The former chancellor was only in the job for 38 days, with many spent trying to bat off criticism amid economic turmoil following his mini-budget announcement.

Great news

Image sacking someone who carried out your policies, it's like sack yourself. I thought she was bad but that takes the biscuit. Maybe the press conference is about calling a general election.

Kwasi down the khazi.

Will Kwasi be alright? Lets do a whip round

How long until the Vote of No Confidence will it be now?

If she goes to the Polls with this afternoons announcement, wont be needed but surely Starmer has to move now?

Im no fan of his either, more Tory than the Tories!

We need root and branch political reform and maybe now is the time for it?

Unfortunately there are none of the opposition parties that would actually be any better, when push comes to shove which is a sad indictment of a Busted System!

For the People and Of The People.

….Truss press conference this afternoon to answer questions about the economy. Kwarteng will not be in attendance.

Make of that what you will.

It's Friday, the lads probably on a bender until Sunday. Nothing to see here until we see him snorting lines off a hookers arse on the front pages.

Should have read a few more posts. Talk about feeling like a mumpsimus.

What an utter shower. The party of financial stability has burned through two chancellors in three months and a third to be annoucned today. Hopefully this one will do a better job than holiday cover Zahawi or Kamikwasi!

Maybe a job for Big Sam lol

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, this needs to be stickied to this thread.

….I doubt Conservative MPs will vote against their Government at this point in time as lots of them will lose their seats.

Oops

Happening in Ireland now although the press will never touch the story.

There'll be some cracking political science dissertations written about how the Tories went from a record breaking majority to completely imploding in less than three years.

The core, keystone answer at the heart of it all starts with B and ends with rexit.

A lot of it was complacency too.

Their big victory, was not actually much different to Labours understated win in 2005. They were in nowhere near as strong a position as they felt.

They are now in a death spiral.
