Truss was particularly terrible on home turf in the Radio Norfolk interview. Not just her, Sunak and May did themselves no good thinking local radio and regional media would be a soft touch.

Local radio, in modern parlance, DGAF. It's their day in the spotlight, they'll have done the research on the local issues, and their presenters/staff aren't open to bribery/blackmail in the way their national counterparts are. "You give us an easy ride or I'll make sure you're doing the traffic on Radio South Lincs" isn't much of a threat when they're already there.

And yes, always underestimated. You'd have thought that those clever bugger SpAds would be wise to it by now. But of course not, because as far as they're concerned, the only places that matter are Oxford and London.

Difficult to judge as we can't see the post he is reacting to.
My feeling is that the government are trying to create a fair and affordable system. Which will not please those who want massive spending increases.

Not looking forward to this weekend’s Reform UK conference in my city (Birmingham). It’s bad enough when the Tories are here, with wankers all around the city centre, but these wankers are cunts of a whole higher order.

Where exactly in Birmingham is it, and how long does it last for?

Friday & Saturday at the NEC, so at least they're mostly away from decent folk.
