Come on Liz Truss, call a general election. Fulfil your Lid Dem prophecy.

I'm surprised more Brexiters haven't kicked off about her accepting an invitation to join Macron's European Political Community project for its first meeting later this week.

I must admit I had wrong. I was all for May telling them to fuck off. Maybe she is looking to snooze some Europeans

Smooze not snooze although either fits.

People starting to show frustrations …. Only shouting … 

Fabricant did come out and say that he was on the receiving end of some shouting but that he wasn’t (physically) abused, saying people have the right to protest in a democracy.

With things like this, the researchers provide the research the minister decides when it's published.

I was seeing some posts on Reddit from people who were there. They were saying Mogg etc were deliberately walking towards where the crowds had been segregated. 
 

This is a story of the Tory making. They wanted footage of the crowd yelling abuse at them. 
 

You can see by the smile on Moggs face he was getting what he wanted.

Rees-Mogg also said at the conference he doesn’t mind being called Tory Scum.

Remember the story of the Labour activists at that hospital from the last election and the media blindly going along with it? They've done it before.

Not unlikely … daily Mail will lap it up … it’s definitely bubbling though …

This looks pretty dangerous for workers rights.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a fucking piece of shit. I'd shout it at him if I saw him and all.

Fully support Dorries' call for a general election though. Any other Tories thick enough to get behind her on that?

[Guest]

Hopefully Truss.

Tory MPs to save us from austerity 2.0. Always liked and respected Tory backbenchers.

The markets like the debt cutting plans being brought forward...so now we need spending cuts for Kwarteng's tax cuts that may or may not give us growth. Good job Kwasi.

that'll be a hard sell for popularity.

I'm sure many will like the tax cuts...and who cares about those on welfare anyway, the skivers.

Under Cameron and Osborne we had spending cuts without the tax cuts...it was all to bring down the deficit apparently, but in the end just felt like a cynical way of shrinking the state. Now we are getting spending cuts because markets don't trust Kwarteng/Truss plans for tax cuts and growth. So, I expect some people will like the fact they have more money and aren't bothered about the state of public services, the selfish gene and all that. I guess depends where cuts will be...welfare? education? HS2?
