"I'm naturally a thrifty person - I like saving money, it's good for the environment," claims the naturally thrifty Liz Truss, who recently chartered the government's Airbus A321 for herself and officials to visit Australia at an estimated cost of £500,000, instead of taking a scheduled flight...
If you've watched the last 50 minutes and there is still even a tiny part of you that thinks Liz Truss is PM material, then frankly I'd be amazed if you actually manage to find your way to Eastbourne :shrug:
Sunak is actually a very smart individual with a strong track record of senior positions so I'm not sure if he is low quality. Whether his lived experiences have equipped him with the necessary empathy, understanding and compassion to lead the country at this point is another matter of course...
He's probably on the phone to her now, telling her what job to give him:
Deputy Prime Minister
...and we're back where we started. Well played, Boris, old son. :shootself
(..and it will probably come with 'the flat').
Dishy Rishi must be ****ing fuming. He's pissed every MPs vote by miles - but the moment the ballot goes to the demented membership he's gonna get beaten by Mavis from Coronation Street and spend the next 2 years as junior minister at the White Fish Authority.
I bet Carrie is desperate for Boris to be on the ballot for next leader. I'm sure when she married him she hadn't factored on that useless binbag full of custard being under her feet 24/7.
Exactly this.
Doubtless there will be people saying ‘oh here we go again; female politicians being defined by what they wear rather than by what they say and stand for’ etc etc etc
But for me that is spectacularly missing the point. This is a leadership (and PM) contest where the candidates...
Yes. She’s had extensive voice coaching to go ‘lower and slower.’ Like you say, just ****ing weird. There’s nothing wrong with admiring the values and political ideology of political leaders from a previous century; but to turn up to a tv debate effectively dressed exactly like them and trying...
Based on a poll in the Independent it seems Liz Truss does in fact have the ability to unite our country.
A sample of Conservative voters, Labour voters and floating voters surveyed after the debate ALL put Truss in last place by a significant margin.
I saw her on the TV news the other day, leaving her house and turning left onto the pavement. A minder immediately stepped forward and had to shepherd her in the other direction to her waiting car as she grinned gormlessly at the cameras. Then after her leadership launch event in Westminster she...
I'm always amazed at how bad these people are at putting together their promotional stuff, given the expert input they must have. For a start, doesn't Rishi realise everyone is heartily sick of these trite 2/3 word slogans? And he has 3 of them. Plus if he does feel compelled to have them, the...
Buckle in. This is going to be awesome.
Just a shame that there is a country that actually needs putting back together whilst they are all tearing each other to shreds in a blind fury of naked ambition and the people trying to prop up our crumbling public services and educate our kids are...
