Kwarteng has gone but for the moment Truss remains. The issue is how to get rid of her.
My preference would be for a General Strike,and the TUC meets in Brighton next week. I would not be that hopeful that action will follow…
Perhaps it is time for the current Official Solicitor to appear and find an obscure legal route to call a General Election.
The Official Solicitor has appeared only once before and in almost equally exceptional circumstances. In July 1972 five dockers were sent to Pentonville prison for being in contempt of court. They had continued a picket which then existing Tory industrial relations law deemed illegal.
The TUC did call a General Strike, but before it could take place Norman Turner the Official Solicitor appeared, applied to a Court and got the dockers released.
His successor may be required in the very near future
