There's definitely going to be a spike today in people learning for the first time that when George V was on his deathbed, his doctor gave him a lethal overdose of morphine and cocaine in order to ensure his death would occur in time to make it into the morning newspapers.

The BBC guys are stalling so hard. Let's just get on with it.

Man it's going to be awkward if she isn't dead yet.

New Royal Cypher revealed

This is what will appear on all the police cap badges, government documents, new post boxes etc. Notably it's a reversion to the 1901-1953 Tudor Crown - Elizabeth's used St Edward's Crown.

Would this constitute loss of supply or is this too minor an issue to meet that standard?

The Callaghan government was defeated on two amendments to its Finance Bill in May 1978. So there is precedent for it not being a confidence matter, or even a resigning matter for the Chancellor.

Okay, that's what I would have guessed, but I didn't have enough familiarity with the precedents to be sure. Thanks.

Kwarteng has pointed to the death of the Queen as the reason for why his budget was so bad. They're actively trying to implode aren't they?

Well, vassal opinion is suffering from that -20 short reign penalty, always rough when the new monarch takes over.

What does the projected constituency map look like now?  😂😂

Using the Electoral Calculus swingometer, a simple, unweighted average of the last 10 polls listed on Wikipedia has the Tories getting 37 seats.

No way in hell it ends up that extreme, but under 150 is probably plausible.

Yeah, I think that the SNP as Official Opposition numbers are honestly a pipe dream, but under 150 is definitely likely imo. I think that the numbers somewhat underestimate the Lib Dems seats, but I’ve been wrong about that before.

Lib Dems could potentially overperform depending on what happens with tactical voting, but I'm not quite well-informed enough on British politics to wager as to whether or not that is actually likely.

Yeah, the Tories might lose all of their Scotland seats at this rate.

Foreign florists? I see the Tory government is finally standing up to the true villains of this world - the Dutch!

I might actually bet on the Tories getting wiped out entirely in Wales, based on the Wales-only polling.

At this point, is there any way for the UK to have a stable government that lasts more than a handful of months or is it just going to be this sort of chaos over and over until the election finally gets called?

My money is that Truss will be out by next Monday. Idk who the next PM could be besides Mordaunt, although maybe a potential Badenoch resignation could set her up? Braverman and co are of course to insane to command party support.

I don't think we should overestimate the sanity of a party that somehow picked Truss in the first place.

I was not around when this vote was going on, how many are we talking about having the whip withdrawn on if they go through with this?

She will be the answer to the question "Who was the Prime Minister when Elizabeth II died?" and nothing more.

Covering up for Pincher on sexual assault is obviously disqualifying, but Boris would be the correct choice if the goal is sheer absurdist entertainment value.

Wonderful optics, great tweet.

It's an absolute marvel that this tweet is still up
