BigFatCoward Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 No 10 are refusing to comment on reports Kwasi will be sacked, surely they would just deny it if not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I’ll be curious to see what the angle is for why Kwasi gets sacked, if that’s what’s happening. I mean don’t get me wrong, he appears to be massively shit as a Chancellor, but he’s pretty much only had time for one mini-budget which Truss signed off on. What’ll be the ostensible reason for it?

I think we are about to see someone thrown under a bus. Truss' one notable skill. When it comes to throwing people under busses, she's, well, she's bang average but very willing. As we see. He's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is certainly getting the blame for the 45p tax fiasco, something Truss seems to distance herself from. Above anything else he will probably just be the fall guy to calm the markets and help give Truss more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Let's just hope Truss has the courage to give the post to a true conservative now. Chancellor JRM. C'mon Liz, that's bold political move to get the pound rolling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spockydog Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 He achieved what he was installed in Number 11 to do. And now a whole bunch of Tory donors have made a killing shorting the British economy. But, instead of the whole grubby affair being investigated by the SFO, Kwarteng will get a lovely plum job working for some cunt's hedge fund.

Werthead Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Jeremy Hunt apparently in as Chancellor. Hunt has made a name for himself as a somewhat sensible Conservative in recent years. It'll be interesting to see if he can maintain that as Chancellor or if he'll immediately snap back to following the party line in cabinet.

IheartIheartTesla Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Welcome to that feeling of having a head of state who cant form coherent sentences for 10 minutes straight, a revolving door of cabinet ministers, and every day bringing some new chaos that leaves the future of the country uncertain.
