Didn't the OBR send a draft to Kwarteng? If it was anything like this, how on earth could he go ahead and do that budget? Did Truss see a draft to this effect? If she did then I think she's got to resign.

Slightly concerning, this, as Reeves and Starmer did not oppose the 1p cut in the standard rate.

Press conference "dead air" has now been memefied.

It'll have to come back, and maybe the NI cut too.

Price of Tory failure and all that.

Sympathy for Liz is in short supply but along comes the odious Ms Oakeshott. Either questioning, mocking or trivialising a person’s breakdown into depression isn’t a good look.

So Truss addressed public concerns by completely skipping the Sunday politics shows then.

We won't see her until PMQ's no doubt. How she can't see how bad her behaviour and actions look is just baffling. Does she really think that it's acceptable for a PM to only be seen popping their head out the door for half an hour every week. She shat the bed and has to lay in that shitty bed for everyone to see.

Hardly surprising.
Oakeshott's a complete shit.

She is closely related to Lord Oakeshott, who I remember being one of the few dissenting Lib Dem voices during the coalition era, to the extent that he donated over £300,000 to a number of Labour candidates in the leadup to GE2015. He must be absolutely aghast at her public utterances - shades of Dan Hodges/Glenda Jackson.

I was wondering if she might do a Johnson and run away and make her Deputy do it. I hear Kiev's lovely this time of year.

IIRC Ms. Oakeshott was the main person promoting Cameron's "Pig gate" rumour.

It originated in a biography of Cameron that she co-wrote with Michael Ashcroft.

But it's OK, the headbangers know who's to blame.

And then came Carrie and her trendy-lefty north-London, metropolitan establishment friends.

You'll be left wondering how many additional secure mental units we need to build.

That would be on the assumption Labour know what the finances look like, I assume whatever they did look like when they last looked they aren’t like that now.

It's a sad but true fact that most of the shit Truss is getting is because she's not right-wing enough.

Cath Kidston skirt aside, Symonds is just the same as the taffeta-clad young conservative Sloanes who infested the 80s.

If she goes this week will she be the shortest serving Prime Minister in history?

Truss is currently on 41 days, which puts her at the bottom of the pile by some distance.

Next on the list is George Canning, who served as PM for 119 days before dying in office:

Liz Truss has had to abandon her entire economic agenda.
All she can rely on now is her deeply charismatic personality and sheer political skill.
