Britain's prime minister just resigned -- again

Looks like we need a forum called "UK Political Madness."

UK Prime Minister Liz Truss resigns after less than 2 months in office

So, Liz Truss lasted all of 6 weeks as PM of the UK. A couple of days ago there was a report that some other guy had basically taken over as the PM in all but name. Can someone fill me in on what the heck is happening over there? We're all too busy trying to figure out what Joe Biden is babbling about this time, and pretending not to notice when he creeps on 10-year-old girls.

45 days ffs!

What a joke!

What's happening is the current Tory administration is in its death throes.

With no real confidence in the people they put forward for the position of PM.

What needs to happen is a general election imho but i would not get our hopes up there.

Who`s next ?

My bet is Rishi Sunak.

But chances are he won't be able to fix the mess or fill the position appropriately nether.

Well, that's the thing, there are no rules that would forbid Johnson from becoming Prime Minister again, even if their bloody well should be given his past antics.

It's the blind leading the blind by my guesstimation.

If it was not so tragic it would be bloody hilarious.

My thoughts exactly.

None of the above.

Don't vote or the bloody Govt will get in!

When the Tories came to power the national debt was £900 Billion or so. They oversaw 12 years of austerity with the promise it was needed to get the debt under control. UK Debt is now...drum roll. £2.75 Trillion and climbing fast.

Scotland and Wales need to gtf out and away from this Trusster#.

That was fast 🤣🤣

Blackmail?

setup and threatened?

We’ll send you Joe and Kamala to fix things. Six weeks…you’d be fixed for good, alright.

Brexit Ministry 45, The Resigners.

Could be anything from Death-Metal to Pop, but it will be a blast at your karaoke party. Congrats!

No. Just incompetent.

Tax cuts for the rich which the rest of us pay for during a cost of living crisis, crashing the Pound and the economy and then doing a U turn.

Just sheer bloody incompetence.

Simple as that.

I might be wrong about this but I'm pretty confident that Bojo is coming back. Sunak was rejected by the party and membership and is clearly not a vote winner with the country. My bet's on Boris.

They need Farage.

Where'd he go?

a reply to: Ahabstar

Done.

But in return you get Boris.

#LizTruss will be entitled to claim up to £115,000 per year from the taxpayer for the rest of her life once she leaves office, despite likely being one of the shortest-serving prime ministers in history.
