Extreme right doesnt make the majority of that party though. The majority are moderate and she's leading them into a a clear loss at the next GE but going off recent polls a result which destroys their party as it is.

Agree about Johnson but he was popular with the general Tory public, Truss isnt and is horrible infront of a microphone.

That's because Johnson has that superficial charm of a psychopath and narcissist.

Hence why he was, and still is, by all accounts, able to gaslight those who still like/love him.

Liz Truss has no charisma or warmth about her at all.

Its embarrassing how much she's flaking here and Laura K isn't even gunnung for her. Using Ukraine as an excuse for literally everything.

Laura was really weak as an interviewer; constantly cutting people off is not a great tactic. Having said that, she's lucky to have been interviewing the person in charge of the country who consistently struggles to take charge of a conversation.

Kermit the Frog, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, could interview Truss right now and he'd come across like a government advisor. She really is that clueless.

Laura K's a massive Tory ofcourse she was weak. Theres a reason Truss has an interview with her and not for eg James O'Brien / Iain Dale someone who would grill her.

JamesH85 · 2 Oct 2022 at 09:57

Yeah, not a great interview tbh, especially after what we've seen even radio presenters grill her with.

I think the lines between satire and zombies is blurred from the few enlightened few just lately so I needed to be sure

Truss is a satirical zombie? Or did I get that bit wrong?

They'll run out of excuses when they've flogged the 'we've sorted energy bills' excuse for a couple of more weeks.
I reckon she's counting on Putin either dying or letting rip with a nuke to deflect attention.

It's such a lame comeback from her...

"We've reduced you energy bills by £1,000 a year and increased your mortgage by £500 a month. But don't panic, we've abolished your 45% tax rate!"

When we got May, I missed Cameron, when we got Boris, I missed May. I cannot believe I'm typing this but she makes me miss Boris.

She really hasn't got a ******* clue.

**** me, that was painful to listen to.

When it is clear that the majority of the membership isn't voting for the smartest or best leader, rather than someone they could leverage and control from behind the scenes to create policies that benefits them from behind the scenes...it is time for the people to vote out the government in the next GE.

The Funktopus · 2 Oct 2022 at 12:58

So, ‘levelling up’ has become ‘punching down’, with absolutely no attempt to hide it. And I’ll bet that they don’t even feel that they should need to hide it.

Yeah, just two years to go though.

They have been in power too long and think they are invincible. That's what power does to some people, it corrupt and get into their heads thinking they can do anything without retribution.

Don't forget that the BoE had to step in with, on average, a thousand pounds from every person in the UK to calm the markets (for now).

Put your faith in a Tory PM when they have never stopped letting you down 1 after the other. Time for change.
