TQR 14,386 Posted October 19, 2022 40 MPs didn’t vote with Liz Truss’ government in this vote which was officially about fracking but was then a confidence vote but then maybe wasn’t. Included in those 40 are Priti Patel, Nadine Dorries, Theresa May, Kwasi Kwarteng, and, er, Liz Truss. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bawjaws was so up himself he went round a ward of COVID patients thinking he was Lady Diana spreading the disease and catching the thing himself, nearly saving us 2 years of sad leadership. Truss is even more of a dangerous idiot. Deserves her own thread as possibly the shortest tenured PM anyway, but a PM without a thread is like burying Angela Lansbury posts in the Hollywood threads. As I never tire of saying, Gordon Brown has two threads! All hail the prediction! Buying a lottery ticket tonight... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said a little while ago that our only hope was Truss winning the leadership election and then making such a mess of it that she would call an election. Sadly it's only two out of three. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
