Amusing riposte if you weren’t in so much shit, Kwasi. But you are and just sounds other worldly.

As ever, what really gets me about these fucking vampires and their casual, self-centred and hate-driven ideological approach to the "game" (as they undoubtedly see it) of politics is that it isn't a fucking game.

These are actual human beings' lives that their Tufton Street dogmas are trashing, and, in many cases, destroying.

And they do not give a fuck about that. They are destructive, vindictive, and actively malevolent.

That they must be stopped, and as soon as possible, is an imperative that grows ever more urgent with every passing day.

It's a game with big cash prizes.

For some.

See also their alter egos in the "Hur Hur I said Keith" gang. Under a Tory government poor people die. That's the thing to always remember.

High education, low intelligence, in Call of Cthulhu terms. High INT, low WIS for D&D players. Lacking in empathy, if Cyberpunk is your bag.

In their latest podcast Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart explore Kamikwaze's complete lack of empathy - and Truss' also.

They identify this as their problem, they appear thick because they act in ways that no normal person would find intelligent, but that is because they lack empathy. And can't comprehend why other people don't share their world view.



>footnote<
Empathy is a characteristic of left-wing mindsets, as well as a key indicator of emotional intelligence. It used to be taught in the history syllabus, but was discarded in Thatcher's National Curriculum. I guess she didn't recognise it.

>footnote 2<
I looked this up on Wiki. I found this checklist for lack of empathy:

Early indicators for a lack of empathy:

Frequently finding oneself in prolonged arguments
Forming opinions early and defending them vigorously
Thinking that other people are overly sensitive
Refusing to listen to other points of view
Blaming others for mistakes
Not listening when spoken to
Holding grudges and having difficulty to forgive
Inability to work in a team

That isn't canon, but it would seem to apply to our current leadership.

Anna may not be the biggest fan of Cleverley or Kwarteng, I think.

Just at a comms level, this is absolutely hopeless. As someone says BTL, the fully costed growth plan didn't exist any more than Johnson's care plan (which he said required no tax rises).

He'd have had to resign the job when he joined the government. Almost certainly bollocks.

Yes, I think it's generally well-known that Kwarteng used to work for Odey's casino operation. Inconceivable that he still would be doing so as Chancellor.

The questions from Tory backbenchers today didn't suggest great confidence in Kwasi.

One of them basically asked if Kwasi was going to bother with financial stability this time round.
