Doubt the Conservatives will choose a non-white for PM.

Ooh, thought he just came back from som skiing holiday, just as BJ came back from California.

An excellent article in the Guardian today about the worst PM ever to blight the UK.

 

I am not sure why she has popped up again now, and why she thinks she is worth paying attention to, but I believe the maxim goes something like 'never interrupt a Tory when they are making a fool of themselves and their party'.

 

Almost a year after her disastrous mini-budget, ex-PM says she was right and the economy and everyone else was wrong

[RayC]

She'll be changing her name to TINA next.

Yes, I'm sure she's still rejoicing in her short and disastrous tenure. And it does shed an interesting light on the intertwining of public service and private interest that even a laughingstock like Truss can profit greatly from her time in office.

Now if his comment was inspired by a current article, then his post would make sense. But since it....oh wait a minute...

We are all smarting to the tune of £46 billion that her incompetence cost us - but it's her who is putting her head above the parapets once again. Try to keep up.

Of course - she's a Tory. Greed is her raison d'etre.

With this current crop, I'm not sure their base level isn't narcistic sociopathy., but of course with the greed mixed in. 

[bendejo]

I actually feel sorry for her.  She doesn't seem very bright (which we all know is not a crime in itself), reminds me too much of the female politician in "The Thick of It."  Much like Boebert and Palin in the US without the MAGA/Tea Party tantrums.  BoJo pushed her in as something between ensuring Britain's worst PM would not be himself and a practical joke, which is what his time at #10 can be seen as.

In comparison to US Republicanism in this century (so far) imagine a claim that the Bush family machinery promoted the election of the orange guy so that it could no longer be said W was the worst POTUS.

The forelock tugging, cap doffing working class never ceases to confound me. I simply can't understand why (the collective) you are so vociferous in your defence of the people who have been fleecing you your entire life, and who fully intend to do the same to your offspring.

Without those money folk we would not have had a living, it is your lefty union lot that ruined much of industry, I know, I was there.  ????

Talking of "fleecing", have they found the money that was nicked from the coffers of SNP yet?

You really are stretching it now. Linking Hancock and SNP.

 

You don't have video of him and Nicola having a snog in the corridor, do you?

 

Nah. Even he has standards.

You are right - one is an allegation of party funds being used for means other than collected, and which is being heavily investigated by the police, the other is billions of pounds of our money which was handed to friends and family of Tory MPs and is being ignored by the police. But you keep tugging that forelock.

Probably because one is blatant theft and the other is something you've made up.

Your first statement is clear contempt of court; your second statement is woefully ignorant.

 

Edit: sorry, not contempt of court because no charges have been made. However it's definitely libelous.

No, I brought up again because she and her 49 days of incompetence are in the news again.  

 

Note the headline from yesterday's FT:

 

Liz Truss makes defiant return to political fray

 

Nowhere does it say that I dragged her back into the nation's consciousness. She did that all on her own.
