Cheers @Bruce Wayne and @Marius57 appreciate the responses.

What a freaking mess it is!

Fiddling while Rome burns and us mere mortals footing the bill!

Was just saying to a mate its almost like the people have gone way too far to the "meh" side, so much apathy due to constant bombardment with negativity and crisis after crisis!

Its sad to see a demise of the UK on such a scale. We were far from perfect in so many ways but where we are now, beggars belief.

The UK government hasn't been for the people for a very, very long time.

I have another genuine question, if i may be allowed?

Im doing it ayway!!

Why hasnt Starmer forwarded a "vote of no Confidence!"

Is it just down to the numbers?

Im baffled why he isnt making hay over this massively.

I listened to him say that if they change leaders again it needs to be a GE but why isnt he using his position?

Or cant he?

Im not saying he will be any better, I have really never had as little faith in any of our MP's than I do right now.

Its a proper mess and needs an overhaul, but im just repeating myself now!

He can ask for the no confidence vote, but the government have to approve it. Indeed the leader of the house can even change the wording. As what happened with BoJo.

So it's pretty pointless, really, as it just wouldn't pass. The Tories have too much of majority and they are not going to vote themselves out of a job.
I think you just sit back and see what happens.
I mean let's remember. 6 days ago Truss said no cuts. Today we have Hunt saying, big cuts.
They are ripping themselves apart. You literally can't trust a word that comes out of their mouths.
Just leave them to it.

Coincidentally, Starmer has 20 mins ago come out saying that some Tory MPs are saying in private that they think a Labour government is needed but that it wouldn't be good for their party. He also said that we need a general election, so who knows, he may do soemthing.

It was different with Boris. Starmer screwed up the wording to point score over Boris when he had already resigned. If they had just done it about the government without identifying the PM, it would have been allowed. (Or if it was done before Bojo had resigned, it maybe would have been allowed).

Surely even the most tory of tories can see a general election is needed.

Hopefully that will wipe them out.

Absolutely terrifying it's come to this as well. It's take 12 years of complete mismanagement. 12.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

There won’t be a general election until 2025.

 

[Marius57]

Theresa May now being discussed as the "unity" candidate.

Sunak and Johnson won't be able to as neither of the others supporters will support the other.

It's absolute madness that the solutions are to go back to previous PMs because "they aren't as bad as Truss".

Its like an Everton manager search!

Welsh Labour leader Drakeford rips Mr Odious Tory Gammon Davies a new one.

Get Vitor in, he's already got the armband so that'll save a few quid, the markets will be most pleased

Almost as if warning signs were ignored

It's unlikely that the Tories would vote for an Election which would see most of them losing their seats.

I don't think I have ever seen anything so, well I don't know what this statement is.
In amongst all the Tory nonsense at the minute, this must be the most ridiculous load of nonsense to come.out of somebody's mouth. She really is an idiot.
