She's only 48 or so, so she has at least 30 years in the top job.
Nah; second, like Sunak.
Congratulations to Liz. She has had the expectations bar set helpfully low by both her predecessor and her detractors; hopefully she clears it comfortably (for all our sakes).
Other than it will break the market mechanism and lead to rationing, and disincentivise investment in boosting supply.
Bore off you dimwitted twit. We are in the midst of a once in a generation energy crisis and now have a PM who spent years working in the energy sector. Let’s see what she does.
Will it go up, or down?
Given that they each represent a significant faction among MP's and members.
Why should Scots meet a 60% threshold, if she only got 47%...
They're the David Milliband of the Tory Party now.
Scotland nah
The pound is trading at around the $1.15 level and benchmark 10-year bond yields are steady

If Liz Truss follows through on things she has said on the NHS then we should see action on drs pensions, rebuilding
@TeamQEH
and other hospitals, more funding for social care and somehow sorting GP access.
Billions and billions of spending just there.
+ billions on energy bills
+ billions on social care
First choice of less than 1-in-6 MPs but deriving her authority from an overwhelming membership mandate was her story.
Now it's unpopular with MPs, barely prefered by the membership.
So glad I held off betting on Truss percentage, I was this close to lumping on the 60-69.99 bands this morning.
I wonder if late deciders went Sunak?
They need to stick around first of course.
But if it goes tits up they'll need to be quick about it.
If it's before the next election it's one of them I think.
He really does give the impression that he'd be PM of the middle-class Londoners, not the country.
Betting PostF1: Backed Perez each way at 14 (with boost) to win in Monza.
The Red Bull is a beast in a straight line.
And until we do that prices will continually leap up in price....
If no one could have voted until say the 4th week of this it may have looked very different.
Mason has already been breathlessly comndemning the freeze the wholesale price of energy alleged plan as it will have to be paid for. The horror.
Many congratulations to new PM
@trussliz
. At this time of challenge & global uncertainty, I wish the new government well. I never forget the support I had from all former Conservative leaders when I won the ballot in 2005 & I hope all Conservatives will unite behind the new PM
“Yes, because you were not in it.” An MP shouted from the front row.
I am praying for Liz Truss as she takes on the great responsibilities of leadership at a time of such significant challenges.
May God guide her, and all who serve in our political life, towards His hope for our nation, and particular care for those who are vulnerable
*as the unwitting commentator, etc. I hasten to add.

I'd like to congratulate our next Prime Minister Liz Truss as she prepares for office.
But after 12 years of the Tories all we have to show for it is low wages, high prices, and a Tory cost of living crisis.
Only Labour can deliver the fresh start our country needs.
@EdwardJDavey
Under Liz Truss, we're set to see more of the same crisis and chaos as under Boris Johnson. From the cost of living emergency to the NHS crisis, the Conservatives have shown they don’t care, and have no plan.
It's time to scrap the energy price hike then call a General Election.
@NicolaSturgeon
Congratulations to Liz Truss. Our political differences are deep, but I will seek to build a good working relationship with her as I did with last 3 PMs.
She must now freeze energy bills for people & businesses, deliver more cash support, and increase funding for public services
Bookies have been v. fair on this one, although I wait to see (with interest) how heavily Hills will now limit my account.
Davey, yep, not bad, over the target.
Starmer - is it PMQs? Ill use my PMQs line
The defeated this time are facing #ThickLizzy. There will be no shortage of opportunities to regretfully point out her misfortunes to a willing press.
Clarke - EUphile in a broadly eurosceptic or wary electorate
Davis - fucking idiot who used big jugs to campaign
Hunt - remainer in an age of Get Brexit Done
Sunak was just another option without the nonsense baggage as above
The Truss obviously carrying on the one rule for bosses and another for everyone else vibe.
Says he’s pretty sure he’ll be out of a job tomorrow.

Them, and us.
She doesn't have Boris's mandate amongst either the MPs or the members, and she should look to build bridges.
If she doesn't then she'll have a whispering campaign going against her almost immediately, and the next 12 months will be very difficult for her.
Let's see what her first moves are. Application to join the Euro, perhaps?
Edit, education would be good for her and the government.
The chains!
Does give some degree of hope for the future.
I’ve said throughout that the Conservatives are one family.
It’s right we now unite behind the new PM, Liz Truss, as she steers the country through difficult times.

Should have plenty in common with Sturgeon tho, so no lack of small talk
John Sheridan has been manager of Oldham Athletic under six Prime Ministers.
Simply throwing billions of public money at freezing bills, does nothing to reduce demand. The package of measure needs to include deals with large consumers of energy, a public information campaign about reducing domestic energy use, and some price signals to everyone else, while not letting small businesses and those of limited means suffer from market failure.
Anyway, my drink is coming so I will leave you all.
