It has to be both. The u-turn itself is so damaging to their credibility (which is already destroyed) that it will require a sacrificial lamb, and that must be one of Truss or Kwarteng. truss won't throw herself under the bus, so bye bye Kwasi.

But Truss has to be fatality wounded now.

Looks like it is being confirmed: Kwasi fired. That's 4 chancellors in 4 months.

It'll be fine. Now that she's sacked off that devious Kwarteng (who must have designed and announced the budget all on his own and behind her back), she can now show us what she's really made of.

I dunno. But at this rate they may even get round to asking one of us.

Heh, Kwasi's resignation letter basically says that it was Truss's strategy. Also, and I don't know how true this is, but I read he found out he was being fired when he checked his phone after landing and read it on Twitter.

Well, given that Truss wants to kick-start the economy she's certainly doing her bit for the Removals business!

Reported now that senior Tories will be calling on Truss to stand down next week.

What an utter fuckfest this is.

Hunt in as Chancellor.

One politico from the Guardian predicting she'll stand down this afternoon as she can't command any support.

They're so riven by splits I wonder if their instinct for self preservation has finally left them and they're in self destruct mode now. Let's hope so.

If she insists on staying she better call a GE, which might give her 6 weeks. Instead of doing photo shoots to get her image right, maybe she should have been swatting up on economic policy.
