Boris Johnson & his supporters will fancy his chances if he can get in front of the membership. He won't stand to one side to help Sunak. All options for change look impossible but the status quo is untenable. Something will have to give. /END — PolitiTweet.org

... it knows that it is in deep trouble & that Truss has had a dreadful start. It does have an option of a leader with market credibility - Rishi Sunak - & it should make him leader without a membership vote. But there isn't the consensus amongst MPs that this should happen. /4 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

That leaves tax increases but that would completely undermine everything Truss stands for. So all she can do is try to muddle through with a high deficit and hope the markets treat her kindly. As for the Conservative Party... /3 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

... that didn't happen. Truss hopes that growth will mean that the tax cuts are affordable but the OBR won't give the Government much if any credit for its growth announcements so that won't work. The Govt could cut spending but very difficult politically & practically. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

@GuidoFawkes Yes, I think it should be better targeted. But 1/ something had to be done on energy prices 2/ a targeted measure might not have been possible in the time available for practical reasons and 3/ it’s temporary. Permanent unfunded policies are more of a problem. — PolitiTweet.org
