Oh dear, truss drops another b******

Getting a lot of pushback after her comments, claims made with no evidence produced to back them up. 
 

“Mike Katz, of the Jewish Labour Movement, added: “We’re not sure what the ‘woke civil service culture that strays into antisemitism’ is. But what we are sure is that this is a desperate and divisive attempt by Liz Truss to drag Jews into her campaign to win over the Conservative membership with nonsense buzzword pledges.” 

 

Mike Clancy, the general secretary of Prospect, another civil service union, said Truss “should have a better grip on both the evidence and facts about what is happening in the civil service. If there is evidence, she should publish it”.

    Truss is quite obviously trying to package herself as the second coming of Maggie Thatcher. Apropos of that, I think it was Hegel who remarked that world-historic personages appear twice. The fir

Wait until a leader has been elected .

Nothing can happen until then 

What’s this nonsense?

 

Has the Government ceased to exist?

 

 

Barring accidents, just a few weeks before Liz is in the chair.

As I said, I hope so but not seen any polls lately. If the base do vote truss in, the opposition should be delighted.
 

She is a key election asset for them given her gaffe ridden campaign for the leadership of the party. 
 

truss is not good under pressure and during this contest has dodged situations where she would be pressed on her policies (She has avoided an interview with Andrew Neil and the BBC, both of which sunak took on). 
 

She won’t be able to avoid pressure when pm and her lack of understanding of her own policies so far does not bode well for the tories.

It is interesting that the polls have stopped.

Weeeell, with the quality of the opposition Party's speakers, I really don't think she has a lot to worry about, even Penny buried the second in command of the Labour Party to a point of embarrassment.

 

The socialists can spout as much as they like with their guesswork, but should really wait till the new Blues leader is actually in command..............????

truss is a terrible public speaker and does not cope well under pressure. 
 

She cannot explain her own policies and has shown a tendency to spout absolute nonsense (women in gaol for tv license non payment for example). Her lack of knowledge about the minutia of policy is an Achilles heel the opposition will be able to exploit. 
 

The opposition will enjoy pmqs. 
 

And as to the division’s exposed during the current campaign, they will not heal quickly…

 

All looking good for the opposition with truss as PM.

As I said, let's wait until she has the job first, no use guessing on her Despatch Box appearances, plus, there is nobody good enough in the opposition Party's to be a problem.  ????

No need to guess, truss has shown how bad she is already when pressured and has bottled interviews sunak took in. 
 

Latest u-turn

 

”A spokesperson for Sunak’s campaign said on Friday that Truss had “blown a further £5bn black hole in her plans” by not backing the windfall tax. However, the Truss campaign later clarified that she was not scrapping the current windfall tax, despite being against them in principle as a “Labour idea”

 

Lot of clarification required after truss speaks on something-might need a minister of clarification in the next cabinet.

It seems near everything you post is based on the lefty "The Guardian" rag, ........????..........................????

 

But, let's get the PM seat filled, as you have said here many times, you hope Liz Truss gets the top job, something we agree on....????

 

Let's just be thankful, that what ever happens, the Blues will still be in control...................????

You just don’t like reported news that doesn’t fit your worldview, do you…

 

truss, if she wins, will indeed be pm.
 

How much control she has over a deeply divided party…weeeell now…

 

#votetruss-she can overturn a 70+ majority.

My World view does not come from one socialist newspaper, yours seems too.  :whistling:

She will have control, the same as Boris,  if it doesn't work out, she will go the same way. 

Divided Party.....????......They are going through the throes of voting for a new leader, do you know what voting is, and how Liz and Rishi got to the final, they were voted for by, wait for it......Tory's ...

You really do need to get a grip on reality. 
 

truss will have control-LOL- that’s even funnier.
 

More than half the party voted against her. There are reasons they did that. 
 

The divisions in the party are exposed and festering. 
 

Nothing truss has said or done suggests she can heal these open sores, but she has certainly shown an ability to make them worse.

Nope and neither was I discussing any of the opposition. 

Where did I say truss had the job.

Past coming back to haunt truss

 

”Liz Truss, now the Tory leadership frontrunner, launched an astonishing broadside against British workers, saying they needed “more graft” and suggesting they lacked the “skill and application” of foreign rivals”

 

Clarification team on the case already.

She’s simply repeating obnoxious views she had previously recorded in the book she coauthored ‘Unchained Britannia’.

 

I’d buy a copy of it were printed on softer paper.

As amusing as this is, I take issue with referring to this over-privileged pos that our working class tory members love as a "worker".  He has never done a day's work in his puff!
