Every day that politics has been operating since she took office has been one crisis after another. The first disaster was the mini budget that everyone pointed out and how poorly it was handled, but the nail in the coffin was the chaos in parliament yesterday.
In short, the opposition called a vote on fracking, which is supported by Truss' "pro growth" government, but was opposed in the conservative manifesto. The government declared that anyone who voted against the government (and for what they promised to their constituents when they were elected) would be kicked out of the party. MPs who then tried to vote against the government were reportedly manhandled and assaulted to force them to vote with the government.
There is a whole load of other chaos that happened in the last 24hrs that was just ultimately impossible to recover from.
I think the last 24hr has just proved even to her final supporters that she is completely incapable of leading a government.

- cameronh90 4y agoThis is very not-typical and the details are still in flux. That being said, towards the end of a long run of a party in power, things do tend to get rather bumpy. It's clearly time for a general election and end of the Conservative tenure in government.
- hardlianotion 4y agoTo be honest, I think that the fracking debacle only moved her demise forward by a weekend.
