I agree. She's been living in her own head, her own ideology. No regard given for the circumstances she finds herself in. Tone deaf, living in a bubble, utter moron - take your pick.

 

Who'll take over and when? 

 

I've no idea. It took them long enough to get rid of Boris. As awful as he was, Truss is a whole other league of disaster. 

So if Boris was bad, and Truss is worse…..

 

Does it follow that getting rid of Boris was the wrong thing to do (careful what you wish for springs to mind)

One of the biggest things for me and I hope others over the past few weeks is the influence of the so called markets on people’s lives. It’s hard not to think many in that world are now a lot happier with things than they were pre covid. J, you could put the greatest individual in the history of UK politics in charge and if the Markets or MSM don’t approve then they’ll be  finished long before they get the chance to implement any  long term sensible strategies rather than the succession of quick temporary patch ups.

Oh f*ck, I don't know. 

 

Why do we have to choose between shit and shitter? Well I suppose the point is that we didn't get to choose....

Even if you don't agree with his policies, at least you'd be voting instead of watching a Tory elite play king/queen maker.

I’ll maybe not vote J if those are the choices. I can not see that woke,  knee taking millionaire pseudo Labour whiner bringing anything to the table.

Well we disagree on the character of Starmer, and that's OK, but I feel that after 3 new Tory PMs that haven't been elected, it's time the public had a vote.

Starmer is a better tory than most of the tories.

 

I can't see that ultimately working out any better either if they were in power.

That as it may be, he's pressed from a similar mould to the likes of Cameron, Major, Ken Clarke, Rory Stewart.

 

Today's Tory party bears little resemblance to that of 10-15 years ago.
