I’ve watched the hustings and Truss has on a number of occasions proved unable to explain the minutiae of her tax cut blah blah blah and how it will resolve the current cost of living crisis. She does not understand her own policies and cannot respond when flaws in her “thinking” are pointed out. Truss will be a gift to the opposition and if I were them I’d be praying the base vote her in. Yes, we will all be happy, me, you and your Party....Bring it on....????

Be specific and quote where I have mentioned a party I belong to or i will have to assume it is just more trolling from you… What I know about truss’ inability to explain her own policies is based on watching most of the hustings and the few interviews she has not ducked. She can’t do it and has no grasp of the most basic facts on how her tax cut blah blah blah (never mind the minutiae of what she claims are her policies) will solve the current cost of living crisis.

The UK's last major war with France ended in the 1810s. Not exactly recent history. But this illustrates the problem. Instead of trying to engage with France and the rest of Europe, the right and left wing in the UK have always viewed the continent with suspicion, and assumed that any initiatives or policies originating there are simply vehicles for screwing the UK. Unfortunately, it seems that our (likely) future PM is going to continue this inglorious tradition. (And no, I haven't forgotten Vichy France and WW2 before anyone goes down that avenue. In any event, that was nearly 80 years ago as well). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
