Page 3 | Liz Truss - what's going on there?

catPA · 2024-04-16T06:01:15+00:00

Just watched her recent interview with Chris Mason on Newscast. Something is most definitely 'off.' Not just what she says, but her hand and facial expressions are peculiar - as if she's possibly medicated or drunk? She is in total denial - no surprise there - but just so odd. It's actually quite disturbing to watch. AIBU?

Truss a ‘political spasm:’

If you want to peep at Liz truss' shitty book without buying it and annoy the daily mail at the same time, click on the serialised article and then immediately turn your phone to airplane mode. You can then read it for free and you don't have to see her pictures.

She broke the economy and wrecked all our mortgages so I feel this is some rightful karma for her 👍🏼.

She's nuts.
Vote the tories OUT!

Still, what with Suella Braverman attending a conference with Farage today which has just been halted by the mayor in Belgium, it's easy to see
their direction of travel. The Tory party is moving dangerously and nastily more rightward, with nobody stopping them. We are a laughing stock.

I do find myself wondering why it wasn't held in the UK ?

There is something deeply disturbing about elected politicians slithering to foreign shores to shit on their constituents. Farage I can forgive - his only duty is to himself, naturally. But Braverman is an elected representative and has no place sniping at her on constituents from a different jurisdiction.

It's a shame Belgium hasn't got UK style laws to deport her.

I lost the packet the tablets came in so maybe it's the dosage.

I just don't know.

I'm as puzzled as you are.

Chefs kiss for the double space between "I just don't know"

Do you remember that interview after the disastrous mini budget?

The blank stare and the blinking?

Properly odd

There was no "mini budget" remember ? That would have required a vote.

It was a "fiscal event".

Whatever. I'm done.

BIossomtoes · 16/04/2024 15:39

It was first class twatting around with swords though. Much as I didn’t want to I grudgingly admired her, I could never have done it.

@Jovacknockowitch , it was a state ceremony regardless of what you or I think of it.
My opinion of hereditary monarchy or of Ms Mordaunt's politics is not relevant; she had a role to perform and she did a good job of it.
It wasn't twatting around with swords.

She seems to me like someone playing a part - role-playing a successful politician until she actually believes the make-believe. Not only did she copy the Thatcher tank thing (mentioned above) but the Thatcher blouses and handbag.

She herself seems to think this is all some sort of cos-play.

In her book she describes the experience of resigning as prime minister after just 49 days in charge as "Just another dramatic moment in a very strange film in which I had somehow been cast"

It's utterly ridiculous. It's the 21st Century for goodness sake, not the 1500s.

You say that like it’s a good thing. I’m not particularly impressed with the 21st century so far. And I love a bit of Ruritanian ceremonial.

PM wasn't twatting around with swords. She was taking part in a solemn state ceremony and did it very well.

We’re not, are we? Mordaunt is paid to be an MP, the fucking about with a sword was a once in 70 years add on to her duties.

Show quote history

No-one should be twatting around with stupid fucking swords at all. There is just no need.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 16/04/2024 14:29

The sight and sound of her actually triggers something visceral inside me. I can’t help feeling she might be a host body for an alien parasite.

Tiredalwaystired · 16/04/2024 14:19

The woman used to be a staunch Lib Dem. Until she realised it wouldn’t help her political aspirations. How you move from that to Trumpist is beyond belief. She stands for absolutely nothing and no one except herself and should be roundly ignored.

tobee · 16/04/2024 13:59

The thing is, about the suggestion that's it seems cruel to watch, it's not as if she was held at gun point for the interview and we all had to go to the Dark Web to view. This was on the BBC's Newscast.

In the clip she looks like she's been propped up. Which is odd. But maybe that's how she looks when she's relaxed?
