Truss is going to make inflation much worse and generally gently caress things up a lot. The 'bright side' is that she'll so incompetent and reviled that it'll be PM Keith in 2 years. Hooray.

wild theorising time... the rumour doing the rounds is sunak wanted truss in the final matchup and lent her support in the previous round accordingly; how else do you explain half of the ultra-wet anti-boris Tugendhat's support now switching to the hard brexit 'continuity-boris' Truss? On current polling Sunak loses to both Mordaunt and Truss in the member vote but since he is almost completely ideologically aligned with the former it would just be a battle over personality where his money and slick PR machine would make hay. Sunak versus Truss is an actual ideological battle and one where the ground (the membership) is not in his favour. Therefore Sunak isn't expecting to get to the member vote... becasue he has photos.

I'd guess he thinks he has a better chance because Truss is a genuine moron who cannot stand up to public scrutiny in the least and she'll melt in front of the cameras. The only issue is, of course, that the only votes being cast are by the tory party membership

Looking forward to a PM more vacant than Boris Johnson over the past week. Someone posted a long post itt recently about how Labour are more right wing than centre, with lots of links talking about how poo poo they are. Can anyone recall or is there a special cheat sheet I can print out and keep in my sock for future family occasions?

It’s quite impressive that having already provided the worst PM in living memory twice in a row, the Tories are going for the hat trick with Truss.

I think Truss really has a chance to revitalise conservative politics with a fresh approach. For too long, Tory PMs have relied on a simple "lack of shame" approach to allow them to lie and kill with ever–greater efficiency. This approach reached its peak with Boris; how could anyone hope to succeed him? Truss shows us how — combine shamelessness with the sheer might of stupidity, and you've got a truly formidable creature that you can't reliably catch in a lie because you can't ever be sure she's actually understood the words she's said. I'm very excited to see where this emerging trend of increasingly thick PMs takes us over the next decade.

Wouldn't be shocked if Zahawi manages to stay on as Chancellor, since he is clearly sociopathic enough to deliver a ruinous round of tax cuts and would *love* to go turbo austerity if Liz will let him.

I'm blinded by hatred but just assume Kieth will find a way to lose, somehow, someway. At least Truss believes in things, even if it is poisonMcFlurry Fan #1 posted:Well yes, tell me about it. Nursing is getting completely crushed in this country at the moment and successive governments have failed to understand that progressively shitter pay combined with requirements of a degree to join the NMC register means that no one is going to do it, why would you? The health service budget probably needs doubled at this point, between pay, staffing, the complete inadequacy of mental health care, the collapse of social care into a minimum wage job on zero hour contracts which is causing the massive backlogs in hospitals, reversing the stealth privatisation that has gone on for 4 decades, the explicit starve the beast attitude of neoliberals. It's loving grim, I highly doubt there will be much of an NHS left by the time I kick the bucket in 30-40 years. And I wasn't having a go, just think it is important to get in the habit of pushing that below inflation pay rises are cuts. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jul 20, 2022 |

I think it’s false to say that Brexit was an unforced error. The Brexit policy was adopted due to a lot of pressure internally from factions in Labour and while Corbyn tried to chart a middle course, remainers like Starmer actively sabotaged it to swing the party into hard remain.
