Signals that with Mrs Flip-Flop at the helm the Tory government boat is holed well and truly below the water line and will sink faster than a concrete kayak.

Kwarteng will get the Spanish archer treatment shortly, now all we need is a GE for the electorate to deliver their own damning assessment too.
Bye bye, BlunderTruss.

//Kwarteng, gets appointed, tanks the pound, starts a pension crisis, yesterday asserts "I'm not going anywhere", then today gets sacked after less than 6 weeks in the job.//
Yeah, it’s almost like someone predicted it at 9.11 yesterday?

// A fall guy. //
A fall guy for whom? He was Chancellor of the Exchequer, the things I mentioned are part of his remit, and he made himself look stupid by insisting he wasn't going anywhere the day before he got sacked. To me it looked like he didn't have a clue how to do his job or what was going on at his workplace - a chump.

From Sky News:
//Truss may as well have told Kwarteng 'it's not you, it's me'
When prime ministers sack senior figures in their government, the convention is to send a polite letter praising their achievements and wishing them well.
Liz Truss has gone a stage further in her letter to Kwasi Kwarteng, lamenting the fact that she has had to lose him so soon, full of regret and sorrow.
But it’s pretty clear what actually happened - he sets it out in no uncertain terms in his letter to her.
"You have asked me to stand aside as your Chancellor. I have accepted," he writes.
And yet she replies: "As a long-standing friend I am deeply sorry to lose you."
She goes on: "I deeply respect the decision you have taken today."
It makes you wonder, has she just misjudged the tone or has she forgotten that she’s the one who has unceremoniously ditched him just six weeks into his chancellorship to save her own skin?
She may as well have written: "It’s not you, it’s me."//
Sounds about right.
But what happens now to the ‘plan for growth’? The last plan crashed the markets and tanked the economy, increased mortgages and shook everyone, so what will a new Chancellor do?
She signed off on all that and backed it, so now what?
She’s only confirmed she’s clearly unfit for purpose.

//That press conference was excruciating.//
Totally. What do her MP’s tell their party faithful and members over the weekend?
“It’s all YOUR fault, you voted her in, despite the fact that we gave you the wrong two to choose from anyway”!
A disaster, only a change of government will satisfy the public now.

They couldn't even get the letters right.
