No. He ought to be in the dock at The Hague.

Well that’s one of Gordon brown’s suggestions being acted upon. 
 

Windfall tax next I hope. 

And a damn hefty one at that, with any luck.

Same for me

Me too. I am completely indifferent to the monarchy. For example, I understand there is a lot of fuss about 'Harry' and 'Megan'. I have no idea who they are, though I have a notion that Harry is a son of Charles and married a black woman.

Whatever. I just don't care anymore than I do about a discarded banana peel.

However, I am upset about the Queen who I consider to be a woman of integrity and honour. May her soul rest in peace.

Considering the timbre of the coverage by the beeb this seems potentially very serious.  'The monarchy' can elicit different opinions but to my mind she has had a jolly good stab at it.  Let's hope she fights on to pet another beloved corgi.

Great post. I am indifferent to the monarchy but I do believe she is a woman of honour who has performed her duties to the best of her abilities.

But sadly the writing seems to be on the wall for her reign.

Divisions and acrimony continue to be exposed... I think we are all going be hearing truss' response to his question though,

 

''I can't answer that''

 

"Cornelius-Mercer tweeted: “He asked her ‘why would you do this, who is going to be better at this role than me, which of your mates gets the job, you promised a meritocracy?’

 

“PM – I can’t answer that Johnny.

 

“This system stinks & treats people appallingly. Best person I know sacked by an imbecile @trussliz.”

Good. Let them tear each other apart like animals.

And she’s already on her first U-Turn.

 

‘No handouts to help with energy bills’ has just swung around to be ‘tax funded handouts’.

 

It’s to be noted this ‘tax’ is going to be levied on everyone, rather than a windfall tax on the energy companies.

 

So energy company profit is protected by handing taxes to consumers to pay high bills to energy companies.

 

With the Tories was it ever thus.

Socialism is always fine for the rich. The same people who have convinced so many of the working class that it is beyond the pale for the likes of us.

Truss is nothing but their stooge. And once they have no further use for her, she too will be slung out like an incontinent dog in the night.

Dorries is out. Maybe even she has the nous to recognise she is unemployable by anyone other than Johnson.

Only 12 percent of those polled in the UK think Truss would make a good or great prime minister. There's also this:

Callers to LBC radio are being equally scathing. Very few are saying anything positive. And this is a station with one Rachel Johnson as a presenter and used to have Farage, too. It's hardly an instrument of the left...

Agreed. By December, the Tory party membership will be begging Boris to come back. Unlikely he would though as he'll be probably be earning £££ millions elsewhere by then.

 

Begging for a corrupt, venal liar to lead them again. Says it all about their values...

God, she must be bad if Priti Patel won't work with her!!! 

Maybe biding her time until Johnson returns?

Thank goodness I live here now. 4th Tory PM in a little over 6 years. Many on her own party benches cannot stand her.

It isn't exactly difficult to see why...

We're doomed.

Truss had better be ready to come up with a comprehensive package of measures and bloody quickly, to get the UK through the winter. If not - well I really do dread to think.

However upon getting the basket of fruit from him and getting an explanation that he was not able to wave from his car because the window could not be lowered as it was a bullet-proof vehicle, she said she now fully understands what happened and hoped he stays the prime minister for a long time.
