The lettuce came is now fab. It comes complete with disco lights and music. Very funny but also sad to see our country in such a terrible state. I like how the Gregg pasty has been replaced by an empty bottle of red. That's only happened in the last 30mins, things really have escalated quickly. Lettuce has now has lots of fruit friends. Does said salad have a name? Miranda springs to mind |

I had an hours kip this afternoon and woke up to find it was all change again. I've lost track now of who is doing what, not that I had heard of many of them in the first place.

Is she going to do a Boris and fit in a cheeky overseas holiday between now and her last day?

One of the shortest tenures of Prime Minister over. shortest, in fact, by a couple of months and some change. It's also been pointed out that her leadership campaign lasted longer than her leadership. |

I bet you read the Guardian as well, you wokeratus! As funny as that is, I don't read the Guardian, I can't stand Owen Jones and it's nothing to do with his politics, it's because I find him whiny and annoying. |

Quite amazing how their MPs elected 2 PMs in succession - whose performance or lack of it was predicted in both 2022 election campaigns for leader. Mordaunt ,the third option, rightly predicted both would destroy the party, but the MPs foolishly voted for both extremes in succession.
Truss coming back would be crown the idiocy. She had an idea of the UK's big problem - lack of enough growth to sustain demand for public services - particularly those set by unavoidable domestic factors like aging, or uncontrollable overseas factors like technological change, and external security threats . She also realised that much more needed to be done on growth and energy production, and climate change offered opportunities to do it.But going for tax cuts on the most well off,spending recklessly , and borrowing heavily -without even an effort to assess what her policies would mean , was catastrophically irresponsible, and doomed.
We now have the alternative - the Treasury's man who does what the Treasury and City tells him . doesn't care about adequate outcomes, and just avoids spending more than the inadequate figures someone in the Treasury penciled in- to get to some arbitrary total. And he seems to run the cabinet like some school prefects room of uncontrolled, male admirers and those wishing it would all end,

Deluded,entitled, blaming everything and everyone but her own glaringly obvious incompetence. Her comeback will be highly entertaining!

I mean this as a kindness, I wish she would go for assessment with a view to diagnosis. Many of the public misunderstands; those that see strength in her inflexibility fail to see she uses set scripts; not scripts in a political sense but as a basic mechanism for any/all interactions (she pre-prepares even small talk). It's why she constantly fails in interviews and in questioning at the lectern from journalists - she cannot parse and adequately respond in real time.
Truss herself revels in a weird 'Iron Lady'-type persona, but that is based on perception and not conviction.
Also, what some see as leadership is an inability to work in or often even with hierarchies. That's how we got a mini-budget of two people sitting across from one another at the Cabinet table (that wrecked so much havoc). And she won't be able to recognise failings, like the dreadful deals with Australia and New Zealand that are causing huge problems now with CPTPP membership, and the UK's future. It's a mental difference, IMO. I sympathise but it's dangerous. |
