Goodbye Liz

Now what?

[davebro]

If they can't show some unity they may as well throw in the towel & call a GE. To hang on grimly just cos you don't want to lose your job is self-serving & not what the electorate deserves.

Eligible won the 1.20 at Southwell.

// yes it's sad that she wasn't given a fair crack but sadly she made several catastrophic errors in the few weeks she was in and became untenable.//

Indeed. The first mistake was assembling a Cabinet of all the loyalists, rather than of all the talents; the second was not calling a GE; the third was in massively overestimating the strength of her mandate within the people who mattered, namely her own MPs.

A total failure as PM. It's sad to watch, because the country suffers as a result of this fiasco; but I have little sympathy for her personally. One error of judgement after another, and no self-awareness. Hopefully, she has now resigned early enough for the damage to the country and the Tories to be, if not undone, then at least limited.

Wonder what Gunney Highway would make of this entire situation?

13:42, oops, it felt like Wednesday!

[LadyCG]

I'm glad she's gone. I feel for her.

What The Funicular would want to step into her shoes?

[LadyCG]

^^That should be WHO the F** would want to step into her shoes.

[barry1010]

I hope she has the decency to refuse the £150k per year for life every outgoing PM gets.

[FatticusInch]

Her peerage nomination list ought to be very short!

jim; "Indeed. The first mistake was assembling a Cabinet of all the loyalists, rather than of all the talents; the second was not calling a GE; the third was in massively overestimating the strength of her mandate within the people who mattered, namely her own MPs. " - 1 + 3 I agree but why would she call an election? That surely would have been an error in the current climate.

what a mess isnt it

Jim360,

It’s all too late. Mortgages hiked, economy tanked, deeper cuts and austerity on the way.
The electorate and wage-suppressed have had a bellyful and are restless, it won’t wash.
A dire winter and industrial action imminent, the whole situation is unsalvagable for a Tory government, only a new one will do.

we haven't had Boris's resignation honours list yet have we, Fatticus?

At this rate there are going to be thousands of new Tory peers all at once.

[Ken4155]

She deserved all she got after throwing her so-called friend under the bus.

13;51, i only mentioned it because you pulled up someone earlier for missing one letter out of their OP.

[youngmafbog]

True TTT and with the Worldwide economic problems nothing to do with the UK I cant imagine Sir Kier being too keen just at the moment.

//we haven't had Boris's resignation honours list yet have we, Fatticus?//

I believe he did the other day Jno, no Dacre, no Dorries, I was satisfied!

[ToraToraTora]

jno: "we haven't had Boris's resignation honours list yet have we..." - yes, you can call me SirTTT from now on.

[Ken4155]

Drmorgans @ 13;50; "Eligible won the 1.20 at Southwell."

Beat mine by 1 & 1/4 lengths :-((
