Just watching Peston. Truss surely has to go - and its not a case of PM switcheroo, needs to be a GE. I’m bored of saying that now lol

I still don’t understand what that vote thing was all about. Same as most Tory MPs I think.

I think the vote thing (the vote on fracking) was this: MPs were told that they should vote for fracking, in line with what Truss wanted, and a vote against would be seen as being disloyal, with a consequence of being booted from the party. The problem was I think it was against Tory manifesto from 2019, and many MPs were against fracking.

Tory Manifesto from 2019:

We placed a moratorium on fracking in England with immediate effect. Having listened to local communities, we have ruled out changes to the planning system. We will not support fracking unless the science shows categorically that it can be done safely

Brady in meeting at number 10 now, could this be it?!

What else can it be?

Crossing various things here.

Didn’t she shout about being a fighter and not a quitter around 24 hours ago though :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Why is this happening doing a huge work meeting. Ffs. I want to be there for the moment the Tory Party obliterated itself.
