Lots of  countries don’t have free healthcare and extreme poverty and other bad things, this isn’t because their politicians are worse than ours it’s because they don’t have the economy to sustain those things.

If no one wants to lend us money anymore there is no NHS it’s that simple. That’s why restoring market confidence is the most important job right now and why decisions around that will over rule all other departments 

Yes,ok..we appear to have lost control.

Again.

How much more can the Tories ruin our country? They’ve done so much damage, we need them out asap.

Can we actually get an election? I know King Charlie could do something but his power is essentially ceremonial. Any hope from the politicians?

you never know...but unlikely. We'll just have to put up with it. Maybe sexy centrist Jeremy c**t can save the day.

I guess it depends on whether Tory MPs think it’s better off the party being in opposition for a bit than carrying on and risk even more damage to the brand.

Otherwise we are down to Truss calling an election.

Hunt is now the defacto PM.  Liz has zero power. Total lame duck.

Hunt is someone who will duck and dive and manipulate. He's dodgy, ad denied his family to try to hide his motivations.

Yep, spending cuts and tax rises...all change. Apparently he wants to keep benefits and universal credit inline with inflation.
