Yeah, someone at our CLP who worked in Starmer's department elaborated how much of a drag on polling she was, Nigel would be dumb to even go there.

The political comedy gift that keeps giving

What is it with Truss? Does she actually believe this shit or is it an just act? Or, has she lost her marbles? Or, is she just thick as mince? How it possible for someone who was the leader of the Conservative party and the Prime Minister to not see that she is the very essence of the Establishment in the UK?

She really believes it.

Or, has she lost her marbles?

. Yes.

Or, is she just thick as mince?

. Yes.

I don't think she's thick. I do think she's not well.

No, she's not unwell.

She's a fully paid-up member of the Libertarian Right; no thuggery, just ultra-capitalism - very much in the Ayn Rand mould.

Before I left its toxic domain, I used to post on a car forum (it was fucking useless for technical help, by the way) and once I'd shown myself as vaguely left-wing, the pile-ons began to the extent of "your father would have been ashamed of you" - that sort of stuff. (As an aside, what is it about car forums that attract racist/sexist/homophobic posters?)

I digress; there were several posters there very much of the "no pay, no play" mentality, who felt that their taxes were being wasted on the undeserving - the disabled, the NHS ("I work out and eat healthily, why should I pay for fatties to get help?"), schools ("I don't have kids so why should I pay for them?), libraries ("if I want to read a book, I'll buy it and so should others") - you can draw up your own list.

Of course, we may just be victims of a British TDS - Truss Derangement Syndrome...

A very shit PM who hasn’t got over how shit she really was.

When she says the Establishment all she is referring to is the Tory Party who had the good grace to bin her.

Liz Truss has just posted a picture on X of her with Donald Trump, plenty of people have pointed out that the Queen quickly popped her clogs soon after meeting Truss. So fingers crossed.
