[Crerar] Liz Truss was with Sir Graham Brady during Labour's urgent question in HoC - as per No 10 sources. They tell me it was a pre-planned meeting - rather than crisis talks - but inevitable that lack of support among Tory MPs will have come up.

Meeting with the person who is going to decide her future more important than coming and explaining herself to our elected representatives. No respect for democracy, no respect for the country, no contrition - this is beyond a joke, who do these toffs think they are to treat our country like this?? Traitors.
Boris sounded like he was never going to leave #10, and then he had a call with QE2 and then Brady, and he changed his tune. My theory is that Brady made a deal with him that he'd agree to leave without fuss, as long as he got to stay on for a few months.
I have a feeling she's made a deal with the party: she's out, and she's going to keep her mouth shut until she's gone... and in return, they'll let her keep her seat (while it lasts!) and they'll all say kind things about her after she's gone. Or something.
I mean, they couldn't possibly have arranged the meeting around important parliamentary business? Like, they couldn't sit down for a friendly chat before or after the UQ? Not this morning or this evening?

Pre-planned meeting that just happened to be when she would be out there to make more of a mess... just a bit hard to believe!
Pretty sure Brady was in there. Not sure how true this report is.
Surely all meetings are pre-planned?
I had that once because some idiot planned me in without me knowing about it
Even the pre- is redundant. You don't post plan stuff.
A meeting you didn't plan to be in is an intervention.
Except that her diary said she would attend at the scheduled time, and then randomly could not due to anything else happening.
Perhaps he was sitting at his desk and she was hiding under it.
A variation on Boris and Carrie then.
Its was very strange that she came in to show face. Didnt say a word and then walks out. Strange to me. Clearly a puppet now.

Pre-planned to be the exact time Hunt was originally supposed to make his statement, that Truss was supposed to be at?

Given how incredibly shaken she looked when she did turn up, I think we can put two and two together
The Prime Minister doesn't even have the power to rearrange a brief chat. Crazy.
Considering the crisis has been going on for quite a while now it's possible for the meeting to be both planned and be crisis talks.
