RT @natalieben: Tory rebel told @elenicourea (Playbook): “They don’t have the votes to pass it, not even close”.

We don't have PM with confidence of Commons, after 32 days in office. Only one thing to say:
#GeneralElectionNow.

RT @Iddonpaula1: Ms. Truss does need to be reined in.

Apart from what she has naively said.

King Charles and Prince William ( this is a long time climate issue involving the younger generation) MUST be there as part of an important process.

@AdiDee_Gee @as_penarth How's the pound in your pocket? I fancy it might plunge further as the world notices we have idiots in charge who still don't check the numbers before deciding.

RT @nw_nicholas: As promised, Truss has hit the ground.

It seems that the cabinet found out about the chancellor's decision to backtrack from the BBC News and social media. He doesn't ask, he doesn't listen, he does what he feels like without checking the figures. 🙄

RT @GreenCllrs: Green councillors are signing an open letter to Tory councillors urging them to disown the government’s ‘attack on nature.’ Are you? Andy Mellen, from Mid-Suffolk Green Party, believes “local Conservative councillors … will be up in arms about the Government’s proposals”.

Does Kwasi Kwarteng just do anything he feels like without checking with any advisers, asking for forecasts or consulting the cabinet? This is not going to gain our trust. This is worse and worse.
RT @paulwaugh: Wow. Now @KwasiKwarteng is suggesting HE decided to ditch the 45p rate.

“*I* felt the 45p rate was a huge distraction”.

Is that a direct retort to Truss yesterday saying the original plan was HIS decision?

RT @paulwaugh: Reeves adds: “The Tories need to reverse their whole economic, discredited trickle down strategy. Their kamikaze Budget needs reversing now."

Feels like even the PM now agrees with my early warning against "Kami-Kwasi" economics.

Now we need a U-turn on cancelling the King's speech at COP. Truss too needs to be reined in and learn who decides whether this country is in favour of participating in global agreements to address climate change.

RT @chrisjarvisdiy: 3️⃣ @GreenPartyTU - all five of the motions that the trade union group supported or organised for were supported, with overwhelming majority. Trade unionists, workers and their allies are now very clearly a dominant strand within the party. #GPC22

RT @GreenPartyJack: I’m absolutely delighted this motion passed. The restitution and repatriation of cultural objects accumulated during colonialism is long overdue, and I’m so proud that the Greens are leading the way.

We know change doesn’t only come from the ballot box – but also through collective action of ordinary people coming together & fighting for change! ✊ #GPC22 https://leftfootforward.org/2022/10/enough-is-enough-gets-formal-backing-of-the-green-party/

It's no good crashing the economy, devaluing the pound and *then* doing a u-turn. By then everyone's lost confidence and sees that you are completely incompetent. No trust will be restored even if you the obedient Tories get back under the whip.

RT @carneross: Things seem to be going badly wrong in #Bosnia with its elections, where the chief international representative has intervened to change the result of the election - in favour of the revanchist nationalists. I'm following @JasminMuj and others closely.

RT @bullshitjobs: "People will be lazy if they receive a #basicincome!" is still a super common statement. And besides the urgent necessity to ditch billions of #bullshitjobs: it's exactly financial freedom, the freedom to be lazy, that gives people the energy to fully engage in meaningful work.

@sparklecreek @Iddonpaula1 Or not abdicate and tell her where to go. At least we have one person of sound mind, even if he wasn't elected. Well, nor was she. Nor, hopefully, will she ever be again.
