Is Truss Still PM?

Have you seen the news in the UK this week?

She's had a terrible week (and that's saying something given her premiership to date).

She had to sack the chancellor that enacted all of her campaign promises, bring in a new chancellor who has undone all of her campaign promises.

Some of the polls coming out suggest the Conservatives would be in 3rd place at a General Election behind the SNP.

Fourth behind the SNP in some cases.

Holy shit I hadn't checked in a few weeks, but yeah if an election was held tomorrow they could potentially finish third: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html

There's a map here that graphically shows just what a wipeout it would be: https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/158203973484657459...

Not a speck of blue north of the border and that worm Douglas Ross out of a job. Glorious. Wonder if anything will change in the next 2 years ...
