Just watched the hustings and regarding answering questions or having the facts at hand, sunak is streets ahead of truss. Not that what he says is any better than truss, but he comes across as being more aware and on top of things, quite worrying really.

 

truss really is a wooden, stilted, terrible public speaker, and just seems unconvincing. The opposition must be praying she wins and hoping truss' lead amongst the tory base carries her to victory.

I watched the Sky interviews last night, I wish I hadn't, it was exactly as I expected, an interviewer who would not let the interviewee finish if their answer was not heading in her direction, it was appalling for both MP's.

 

Plus, Fishi just couldn't stop talking, he fears losing face if he doesn't get the job...:whistling:

 

But, at least we will still have the same government after the showdown, something to be thankful for when you look at what else is out there....????

Because of inheritance it's rational to wait a year before ascribing economic problems or economic successes to a new government. Of course, Brexit is going to be a stumbling block at least until enough of the older generations die off and the younger ones might avail themselves of the opportunity to reverse it.

Riiiiight..............................????

Truss proud of being disliked by environmentalists.

 

Once again, playing to the reactionary membership of the Conservative party and ignoring the views of the wider electorate.

A prediction, not a fact. The Bank of England is predicting 13.7% inflation for the UK in the 4th quarter. 

Yes , can you remember what I said when the last you mentioned that ?

Something about the U.K having similar inflation rates to E.U Countries ?

Could you provide a link to that statement ?

I did a web search and nothing came up .

After the interruption by peaceful environmentalists protestors 

 

“During the latest Conservative hustings in Eastbourne, Liz Truss was interrupted on two occasions by protesters highlighting climate change and the cost of living crisis. Truss told the audience: “I take it as a compliment that I’m so popular with Extinction Rebellion.” The activists from the Green New Deal Rising group were escorted out of the venue by security staff.“

Yes, she was speaking  about one disruptive protest group who have a history of causing disruption a various locations .

   That doesn't back up CH claim that she's proud to be disliked the environmentalists .

   She was referring to one small  troublesome group in particular, rather than environmentalists as a whole

I disagree as I watched the debate and her tone implied otherwise but ok you don’t agree that matches Chomper Higgot’s interpretation-I do but that’s me.
 

Oh and truss got the group name wrong. She made an assumption that proved to be wrong…quelle surprise.  

Right, so she didn't actually say it , but you think that's what she meant and so that makes it factual ?

  Some people change the meaning of words to suit their own opinion and here is an example of you believing something that was never said or written .

   Making up your own facts to suit your Political agenda .

Truss did NOT say what CH alleged

Erm…I didn’t say she said it. I agree with chomper Higgot in that was the implication but I never said she said those words.

O.K Liz Truss has never said or implied or suggested that shes "proud to be disliked be environmentalists" .

  She made a sarcastic comment about a small group of disruptive people who do not abide by any laws or rules .

   She wasn't even referring to environmentalists , just a small group of lawless people

She certainly did imply it. 
 

No one broke any laws during their peaceful protest. 
 

Also truss directly mentioned extinction rebellion in her response and they are an environmentalist group. 
 

The wrong group as it happened but that’s what happens when you make assumptions without fact checking first.
