That’s the point, they’ll end up showing their support for Truss.

Labour have got an Urgent Question for Truss granted this afternoon...but will she bother turning up?

she's not going to, sounds like will be Mordaunt.

Hunt popular now for saving the day...but might not be in months ahead when people start to realise we face more austerity on top of tax rises, cost of living crisis, inflation, recession, war, pestilience, famine etc etc

Who will only say “wait for the statement”

Will Truss still be PM tomorrow?

[Kurosagi]

Here's one for @Neil. The results of the latest polling show that the tories wouldn't even be the opposition party, it'd be the SNP...

Needless to say that that isn't even close to what would happen even if an election was held tomorrow. 1997 is probs the lowest the Tories can go. Highly doubt the SNP get in the 50s again especially with Labour back surging in the polls, they will pick up seats in the central belt.

Not arguing it would...

However, it's a sign of the crazy times that this has even become a polling possibility in 2022.

That is insane, just imagine if that happened, it would be amazing.

That’s reason alone to want an election.

It might do if they change their leader.

Seeing the possibility that they Tories could be the 3rd largest party makes me want it even more 😂 Imagine the SNP having more seats than them!

only if they get a massive bounce in the polls. Why would they call an election if they knew it would mean they'd lose, and probably very badly?

[steviewevie]

Now thinking is bank of england won't need to raise interest rates so much..might peak at 4%. Yay to Jez and his sexy austerity.

Hand Labour a worse job, blame them and bounce back quicker.

Did she? I wouldn’t say doing well is ignoring the entire point of the UQ and instead going on about the Labour leader. Sounds like someone that hasn’t got an argument. 

[Crazyfool01]

Where’s liz that’s so important? 

[pink_triangle]

Liz talks about leadership. So far she has crashed the economy, thrown her mate under the bus and won't come to parliament to take responsibility. Not what I call leadership!
