Kwasi Kwarteng has been sacked. He should make a good pub quiz question in a few years time.
The second shortest serving Chancellor in British history, only beaten by Iain McLeod in 1970 who died in office.

So the first thing Laurel and Hardy Truss and Kwarteng do when taking charge is a budget so thoughtless and incompetent an A-level economics student could see the problems with it, they then spend the next 10 days defending it with even some of this morning's headlines repeating their intent to "stay the course". Those headlines haven't aged well though because they are apparently scrapping plans to remove the higher tax rate within the next hour.
Let's be honest though, they haven't changed their mind overnight, they've bowed to pressure to avoid embarrassment at the conference. So while they have ultimately done the right thing, they have revealed themselves to be incompetent, tone deaf, weak and cowardly over the course of the whole debacle. .
I'm half expecting her to push Kwartemg under the bus so we can add disloyal to the list of adjectives!
Not a good look in the eyes of the electorate.
Only half expecting - oh ye of little faith!

I know - I should have known better, it seemed the obvious thing to do if you were in Poundland Maggie's position (I.e. up the creek without a paddle)

So, BotN, whilst we are looking into the future, which will happen first? Truss to be ousted as PM, or The Mighty Cobblers to end their 2022 /23 FA Cup run?

It might be better to ask what comes first: Truss ousted or The Mighty Cobblers START h their FA Cup run.

Perhaps like his idol, he's simply "not for turning (up)"?

I do hope he's OK, I find his posts illuminating and amusing. Someone must know him in person enough to put minds at rest?

We have been thinking the same. Like you say, putting minds at rest. His last visit to this board was 5th September.

Deputy whip gone as well and reports of MPs being physically manhandled into the voting lobby. It's embarrassing. She needs to go.

Shapps!
They really are having a laugh! Was nobody else prepared to take a role in her "government"?

Well I for one am just so glad we avoided the chaos of a Labour government.

More to the point, who'd have thought Truss would be so useless it makes you look fondly back on the relative stability under the scruffy, lying manchild?

Despite her complete incompetence I would never look back fondly at prize chump Johnson.
