MonsterJohn Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 that country is in shamble. And in the meantime, they are too occupied by make believe king and queen
C_Colstead Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 44 whole days. That's how long she lasted. An absolute bloody mess. I've food in my freezer that's lasted longer.
Domination Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Honestly, Charles should just take absolute power at this point.
Bussea Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 she wanted free time to stream Midnights she’ll be back next week
C_Colstead Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) David Cameron resigning because he didn't get the result he wanted re. Brexit. Theresa May, Boris Johnson and now Liz Truss all basically forced out, the latter serving a shorter duration in office than the use-by dates on the food we have in our freezers. The Tory Government is a JOKE. Never has the need for a General Election been greater. If the public vote the Tories back in, then so be it - but if any other party had demonstrated their utter ineptitude on such a frequent level, there'd have been calls for a GE for years. Let the public have their say. Edited October 20, 2022 by C_Colstead
Guest Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 She may be gone now but our economy is still not coming back I fear
Bloodflowers. Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 She made SEVERAL points back in the 90s when she gave that iconic speech about abolishing monarchy. Should've done THAT first before resigning!
Zack Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Disgusting that she didn't call a general election. Even in resigning, she still can't do the right thing The next Prime Minister will be severely weakened because they will literally have no public mandate to deliver anything. This really needs to go back to the public now, it's a shambles.
Fraser Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Good lord, they didn't even give her a chance...
POPTART Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 She swiftly resigned She didn't wanna steal Taylor's spotlight tomorrow. This country is a mess though
Gui Blackout Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Midnights is coming so she needed to reset her priorities
Bethenny Frankel Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 she ended the queen, tanked the pound and left to stream midnights. I kinda have to stan lol
Triton Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Larry chasing out a fox a few days ago and now chasing out a snake. He’s been through more prime ministers than Charles probably will. 4 so far.

Boysdontcry Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 The country is a mess. The economy is down the drain. Most citizens can’t even afford to heat their own homes this year, or use electricity. And taxes are at an all time high. Not to mention crime is at an all time high too. And our unarmed UK police can’t do a thing, they’re pointless. We really need someone tough to come in and fix the country. I can’t wait to move away from London next year!

Genius1111 Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Well, time for King Charles III to prep himself for the swearing in of his first new PM.
Genius1111 Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 From BBC's live blog... Now that Liz Truss has resigned, Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dem are all calling for an immediate general election - but could there be one? The next election isn't due until January 2025 - this is five years from the day the current Parliament first met, plus election campaign time. Any decision to hold an earlier election usually rests with the prime minister. Alternatively, a motion of no confidence in the prime minister in the House of Commons could force a general election. To pass, the motion would just need one more MP voting in favour than against. If the government lost the vote, a general election would normally be called However, for a no confidence motion to pass, Conservative MPs would need to vote down their own government, which many would be very unlikely to do. Obviously, Tory MPs won't vote for that no confidence motion because there's a good chance that they will lose, unless they are in a super safe seat. Maybe there will be defections? If not, then we may have another 3 to 6 more PMs before it's time for new elections.
Genius1111 Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Truss was a 'disgrace' - Russian spokeswoman Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has welcomed the departure of Liz Truss as prime minister, saying that "Britain has never known such a disgrace of a prime minister," and that Truss "would be remembered for her catastrophic illiteracy". Zakharova was likely referring to a comment Truss made when she was the foreign secretary, in which she appeared to confuse two regions of Russia with Ukraine. Biden thanks Truss for 'partnership' US President Joe Biden has put out a statement on the PM's resignation. It reads: "The US and the UK are strong allies and enduring friends - and that fact will never change. I thank Prime Minister Liz Truss for her partnership on a range of issues including holding Russia accountable for its war against Ukraine. "We will continue our close cooperation with the UK government as we work together to meet the global challenges our nations face."
