A three line whip on what is both a breaking of a manifesto promise…
… Will be interesting to see if there’s a major revolt. Can remove the whip from everyone.
Wouldn’t that be awkward if you were trying to find a way to circumvent current rules regarding VoNC in the party leader whilst somehow trying to reinforce that you do have a mandate and are doing what was voted for last GE.
Missed it live as I was riding my bike in the glorious sunshine on the army land south of Farnborough. Brilliant day and then get home to hear that Lovely Liz* has guaranteed the Triple Lock.
As a pensioner living in Surrey I was delighted. Then I remembered who was guaranteeing it.
I’m shafted aren’t I?
Better keep my job going then…
The fact that they’re calling a three line whip over an issue like fracking, that is an absolute irrelevance, shows not only total desperation, but how detached from the day to day reality of most people they are
Oh, fracking isn’t “an irrelevance”… it’s just not going to help our short term energy problem, yet could result in increasing long term carbon emissions… nothing to gain, everything to lose, except for some niche fossil fuel interests that happen to have their pet loons in government right now, and would like something from them.

It is about the only policy remaining from the IEAs wishlist.
William Wragg has just come out and said he will be voting with the government but only because otherwise he would lose the tory parties roles which allow him to try and get rid of Truss.

Well I suppose it’s one way to ensure 50% of your backbenchers can’t write those letters.
’22 committee have gone for 33% apparently… so a third of Tory MPs sending letters in is likely to kick things off. Rumour is that they’re only single figures away from that already. There may be no point Truss answering any questions today…
This is good news. Amongst a cess pit of horror, Braverman stood out as being a truly terrible human being.
Cabinet ministers started jumping ship as soon as they realised Boris’s game was over. This is as clear a sign as any that Truss will be gone within the next few days. Only question is how many days.
Sources claimed the move was at the behest of the new chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, who has taken over control of the government’s economic response following Truss’s disastrous mini-budget, but who they claimed was now “pulling the strings”.
What a bloody shower of sh*t. Glad she has gone though, great stuff!
As I understand it @SuellaBraverman has been asked to resign over an issue relating to “security”. Resignation letter soon. Being replaced by @grantshapps

I interviewed three people for a part time Project and Finance Administrator role this morning. All three would do a much, much better job than the last couple of incumbents of the job.
Dominos beginning to fall; others to surely folliw quickly.
This, I think, is dissociating from current administration to position herself as leadership candidate offering a clean start.
God help us.
truss is finished.

Yep, rumours that Grant Shapps is now Home Sec.
Constant revolving door this Government!
Could be worse? I was assuming that because the only way seems to be down when it comes to new home secretaries that Kemi Badenoch might be the new one.
Sounds about right. Its a mix of Truss trying to get some job security and the fact it aint good for the security of the country to have a loon like Braverman in charge of the countries security.
