Is there any reason to think she's about to leave or is this some wishful thinking from the usual suspects?

Is the usual suspects her party colleagues? Feels like it's almost becoming a tradition in the conservative party at this point.

Have you seen the news in the UK this week? She's had a terrible week (and that's saying something given her premiership to date). She had to sack the chancellor that enacted all of her campaign promises, bring in a new chancellor who has undone all of her campaign promises. Some of the polls coming out suggest the Conservatives would be in 3rd place at a General Election behind the SNP.

  Fourth behind the SNP in some cases.

  Holy shit I hadn't checked in a few weeks, but yeah if an election was held tomorrow they could potentially finish third: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html

    There's a map here that graphically shows just what a wipeout it would be: https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1582039734846574592 https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/158203973484657459...

      Not a speck of blue north of the border and that worm Douglas Ross out of a job. Glorious. Wonder if anything will change in the next 2 years ...

The betting markets have about 60% for her leaving this year: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.203023007 https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.2030...

As well as the disastrous mini-budget and replacement of the chancellor? One of the procedures by which she can be replaced involves 'letters of no confidence' being sent to the '1922 committee'. There are a bunch of newspaper articles saying that committee has been having discreet meetings and talking to Truss yesterday. Which is the political equivalent of getting invited to a same-day meeting with your boss and HR entitled 'private meeting'.
