Today has been a horrific day for the Prime Minister Liz Truss. Not only had she a bad day at the Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons. Where she was taken new U-Turns and wobbling back-and-fourth. She has no confidence and things are falling apart.
Not only did the Home Secretary resign earlier in the day. Suella Braverman MP resigned and she has appointed a new one. Grant Shapps MP has now accepted this office, but it won’t be his for long. Expect it to be as long as the stint of Michelle Donelan MP who was Secretary for Education for two days in July 2022. The same might happen to him now.
Why do I say this?
Well, the Chief Whip Wendy Morton and Deputy Chief Whip Craig Whittaker has both resigned this evening over the rebellion in the fracking vote in the House of Commons. Certainly, nothing is going to plan or even as scheduled. The Prime Minister isn’t able to steady the ship.
No messaging is the same in the morning, as in the afternoon and then another change by the late evening. It is not strange that people give up. The PM even changed her perspective or promises on triple locking the pensions earlier today. After the U-Turns on the “Mini-Budget” and taxation in general. This after the gilt market, the pensions and the Pound Stirling has fallen in value. The markets are not trusting this government and why should they?
There is no stability or coherent messaging. The message is ever changing and the PM is following the wind. Certainly, the ERG haven’t helped her, but now she shouldn’t fear them. The PM should fear the call of the 1922 Committee in the morning. Because after tonight. There might be ramifications and a notification from Sir Graham Brady MP. Who has to pull through and have a “no confidence” vote.
If there isn’t enough letters sent to the 1922 Committee by end of today. I don’t know what is up or is down. There is nothing in the political sphere or in reach of a normality. It is just self-destruction, self-deprecating and depressing really. That the rebellion from within is happening so swiftly. However, Truss has created this quagmire and was able to usher this one in.
It is impressive and tragic at the same time. All of her career down the drain within 43 days. Whatever she was able to do before is now all gone. Boris Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron can at least hold their heads high somehow compared to her. Even though Boris left with to many crisis and was deemed to fall eventually. While May just couldn’t carry the weight of Brexit. Just like Cameron didn’t want to be part of it. Because he knew it would be detrimental to his name. That’s why the ramifications of Brexit, the lockdowns of COVID-19 and the new “Mini-Budget” have all been feeding the fire. Truss didn’t handle the pressure and only made things worse.
Truss is actually the leader of the “anti-growth coalition” and the “coalition of chaos”. Nothing about the Tories right now oozes stability or growth. Everything the Tories tries to commit to or act upon, only turns sour. There is nothing that tastes good or is promising about the Truss government. The only thing that could be good.
Is the press release from Sir Graham Brady saying a “no confidence vote” is scheduled after meeting the threshold for letters from MPs. If so… there is a hope for a new tomorrow. Becasue, right now?
Everything is grim and nothing looks promising. Truss has been an inept and utter failure. She has only depleted and destroyed. Truss has acted like a bull in a china-shop. We are seeing the results and to be blunt. It is bollocks and knob-heads who still believes in Truss. The rest who has a few marbles working has given up on her. Peace.
