Senior Tories to publicly call on Truss to resign
A group of senior Conservatives have decided to call publicly on Liz Truss to resign following her sacking of Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor.
The party grandees held their discussions and made their decision to act after reports emerged the prime minister was planning to sack her chancellor, which has since been confirmed.
The senior Tories are planning to speak out next week.
One figure involved in the discussions told BBC Newsnight: These are serious people. The PM will find it hard to survive.
The senior Tories, including former cabinet ministers, believe the prime ministers position is untenable because Kwarteng was carrying out her policies.
The source said: Liz Truss campaigned on these tax cuts. Liz Truss won the Tory leadership contest on the basis of this programme. It is absurd for her to blame Kwasi.
The Tory source warned that Truss had made a mistake if she thought Kwarteng had no political base within the parliamentary party.
The source said: People like Kwasi. He is friendly. Hes honest. Maybe a bit too honest. Maybe thats his problem.

She is.

Then King Charles was heard muttering "Dear, oh dear..." when she met him, which is British for "For fuck's sake."

If we can credit Liz Truss for anything it's that she ensured the complete destruction of the Conservative party.

I've always like the vernacular "sacking" or "sacked" to refer to someone getting fired.

If Charles started walking a bunch of corgis would the British people even know the queen was dead?

Theyll hobble around in power for as long as possible, no way theyre giving up power until the second they have to.

Sticking with Truss will wipe them out. Switching to Sunak (which is most likely what will happen - Sunak will stand unopposed) they may be able to force a hung parliament.

I have little to no doubt that theyll have another leadership change (or two or three) in the coming 2+ years), but theyre going to keep that internal. They have until January, 2025 until there has to be an election, and they wont call one sooner unless they see a massive polling rebound.
