Have you noticed the correlation between "shrink the state" and "record rate of appointments to the lords".

One peer for every day and a half of her premiership.

Not exactly a high praise quote from Bozo. Has to shorten her official job title due to being too long for her US readers to understand.
How exactly is she ‘leading’ this revolution?

Leading the revolution in the same way Enjrolas does in Les Miserables.

She's decided to catch the wing-nut welfare gravy train, I think.

It's the arrogance - the sheer mind boggling arrogance of this ridiculous woman that stands out. Why is no one telling her? Where's her family? It's just incredible.

Sometimes you'll hear people saying "Oh, with [MP] it's just a job, and if you met them in private they're actually very normal and boring, all that stuff is just for the cameras and the crowds". Indeed Jess Smith has spoken about times when Tory MPs have bitterly opposed her in the chamber, then come up to her later and say that they actually agree with what she's doing but orders are orders and here's some info that might be useful. But with Liz, and with a lot of the senior ones, they're true believers, aren't they?

It's the kids I feel sorry for. I think it was the Gove brood who have virtually disowned their parents.

She's proper down the rabbit hole...

Liz Truss Blames 'Deep State' For Chaos Her Mini-Budget Triggered
Ex-PM also claimed the West is "doomed unless conservatives win again".


...Truss’s short time in office is remembered for her disastrous mini-budget, which crashed the pound and sent the markets into chaos.

The Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey even said it damaged the UK’s reputation internationally.

She also claimed the West “is doomed unless conservatives win again” in her article.

While she was talking about politicians with a general conservative ideology, it is worth pointing out that Conservative Party have been in charge of the UK for years – since 2010, in fact.

The Conservative Party also governed for 65 years overall across the 20th Century, holding office for longer than any other party.

Truss’s time as PM broke records in its own right, as she was ousted by her own Conservative Party after just 45 days in office – because of her mini-budget.

Does Truss understand that Bannon’s big theme is national protectionism not free market globalism? He’s playing her like a fiddle

Phil, (a former teacher and lecturer) pulls apart Truss's illiterate insane ramblings. Always rather odd, she now seems to be going full Katie Hopkins.

Yep. Sadly, she's got a 50 point majority, so they're probably stuck with her.
