Wait, a *different* eerily vacant smile? I thought that was just her.

Suella Bravermann, your Butlins Priti Patel tribute act, has quit as Home Secretary.

Good riddance to her, and hopefully to the rest of this administration.

Ah, now they are saying she might have left over using her personal phone for security stuff

Abe Lincoln's future looked brighter when he picked up his tickets at the box office!

Cynical me thinks she's deliberately committed a misdemeanour (or says she has) so she can jump ship before everything goes even more tits-up.

All I learnt from Sim City 2000 was not to cut back on transport.

I've just read that Liz Truss did not vote in the Fracking Vote! The one that was initially supposed to be a confidence vote in her!

Liz gone, hunt promoted, mogg as chancellor by the end of the day, just to cap off the madness

At this rate I’m expecting a dragon rider or two swooping in.

No wonder it became a swear word on Battlestar Galactica.

Beeb: Prime Minister Liz Truss is meeting Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the influential 1922 Committee of backbench MPs, No 10 has confirmed.

No reason has been given for why the meeting is taking place.

The 1922 Committee oversees the election of Conservative leaders.

Did she outlast the lettuce?

Depends what you mean. I know people who were in the "off the shelf energy provider" business. It's been a thing you do not want any involvement in since the pandemic hit, either as shelf or customer.

Just seen this from former Lib Dem Leader Tim Farron, which is quite funny, even if he is a bit of a homophobe https://twitter.com/timfarron/status/15 ... 3463165952 Honestly, when we sent her in undercover, we never thought it would work this well. As we celebrate/mourn today 100 years since the last Liberal PM, Agent Liz is ensuring that the Conservatives now get their opportunity to have a century out of power… — Tim Farron (@timfarron) October 19, 2022 ETA: Sky News saying she hasn't resigned!

https://twitter.com/breeallegretti/stat ... 5701213184 Some of Boris Johnson’s supporters are realising what looks increasingly likely to come next. Am told they’re putting pressure on colleagues to tell Graham Brady they want to bring back Boris Johnson, in the event Liz Truss is deposed. Further signs confidence is crumbling. — Aubrey Allegretti (@breeallegretti) October 20, 2022 Well

My MP this morning: https://twitter.com/garystreeterSWD/sta ... 3263979520 Sadly, it seems we must change leader BUT even if the angel Gabriel now takes over, the Parliamentary Party has to urgently rediscover discipline, mutual respect and teamwork if we are to (i) govern the UK well and (ii) avoid slaughter at the next election.#lastchance — Gary Streeter MP (@garystreeterSWD) October 20, 2022

Amusingly, our Tory-led district council voted unanimously against fracking on Monday, which must be leading to fun conversations with our Tory MP this morning who happily voted against a ban.

It’s been reported that she had a row with Truss over immigration, and wasn’t happy about plans to allow people in to support economic growth, so was fired. This is just the excuse to go, and then have a hissy fit on the way out.

And no one's mentioned Coffey and Mogg apparently manhandling MPs to vote No in the not-a-confidence vote! And the resultant resignation of the chief whip and her deputy.

Unfortunately when they showed what Parliament might look like if there was a GE and the national vote reflected the latest run of polls, he was one of the few conservatives still elected. He's never been a minister, I think he's quite happy being an MP and will probably do that until he dies in job in 20+ years time
