Tora: my very humble apologies. I hope you understand that any confusion between you and I is not of my doing.
I really don't see how Truss can face the Commons at PMQs tomorrow.
Neither do I, since it's usually on Wednesday :P
Neither do I. They should have given a reason for her absence at least.
I won’t be freezing thanks.
ROFPMSL, the comedy value from the ABer who bragged about voting for her continues unabated, please do carry on!

Meanwhile, this is what happened in the real world:

/Responding to Penny Mordaunt, the Labour leader thanked her
for answering the question, adding: "I guess under this Tory government, everybody gets to be prime minister for 15 minutes."

He added: "Once you've crashed the car 100 miles an hour, vou've
damaged it for good and you're going to be paying much more on your insurance for years to come.
And it's working people who will pay."
Sir Keir accused the PM of "hiding away"
" and said she was "scared of her own shadow"
"The lady's not for turning - up," he quipped, to jeers from the Opposition./

Apparently Truss was away on ‘urgent business’, probably cancelling the decorator for Number 10 and making an urgent enquiry with Pickfords no doubt.
Not a dry eye in the house, like watching Boris all over again, sending the cannon fodder out to face the flak whilst safely ensconced in luxury some 50 miles behind the front line.
Hang on...has Truss not turned up for PMQs?

I'm not up with today's news...is this serious? She's really not facing MPs?

she really hasn't and Mordaunt says she (Mordaunt) is not allowed to say why.

She thought it was Pork Market Questions and is booking her flight to China, hence the absence. PMSL.

Did I imagine this...didn't you change your gravatar to Liz Truss a few weeks ago?
Today it was an Urgent Question. While it was directed to the Prime Minister, the Government chooses who answers it. It's common (if, perhaps, not something that should be common) for junior Ministers to deliver answers to Urgent Questions, rather than the Cabinet Ministers.

But this is *not* PMQs, which is Wednesday and still for Truss -- unless she suddenly has an overseas trip, there's no way out of that.

sp: "hang on...has Truss not turned up for PMQs? " - PMQs are on Wednesday this afternoon was not PMQs.
Thanks TTT

So what was today?

And your gravatar...?
Question Author
sp: "Did I imagine this...didn't you change your gravatar to Liz Truss a few weeks ago? " - at the start of the leadership contest I favoured Penny Mordaunt so I had her as an avatar. When we got to the last two I picked the lesser of two weevils, Liz so she was my avatar for that time. She was not my choice from the start but she was out of the final 2. I now revert back to the man who should never have gone, Boris. I hope that clears it up for you.
SP, TTT like myself had Avatars to show who we wanted. Mine was Kemi and I think TTT's was Penny. When neither was selected we both changed to Truss as the preferred candidate to Rishi. Doesnt mean we particularly liked her, in fact not as we both had totally diffent preferences.

Did I miss the thread from TORATORATORA last week about how well Truss performed at PMQs?
Question Author
sp: "So what was today? " - if you really are so lacking in political knowledge I'm surprised that you join these threads. PMQs is on Wednesday. Today was to debate a motion from TLOTO.
My apologies for thinking PMQs was tomorrow. Guess I got a wee bit excited.
Doesn’t matter. People know what you meant.
"Today was to debate a motion from TLOTO"

Since you're so knowledgeable, I'm surprised you didn't know it was an Urgent Question, not a debate.
