Not overly worried about how they look. The self ID backtracking is/will causing Penny some issues and I found it off putting. Liz is coming across better than I expected. And Kemi.

Liz is coming across better than you expected?What broadcast are you watching! Shock

To be shallow, Penny has worn that outfit two days running, and Tin Lizzy's been in that awful Thatcher outfit all day. Kemi looks nice in yellow but I see she's tied her locs up to look a bit conservative.

They are plaits/braids.

Oh and Truss has managed to go to hair dresser.

Rishi good at inflation point

A tax argument.

I thought I’d missed it when k made a cup of tea. How frustrating.

HotHeatDays · 15/07/2022 20:11

WTF is Truss on. The USis, the Canadasis and the Japanis.

She's making up her own dictionary

Also rather than waffle she should have said I agree with Kemi on the self ID rather than basically saying it in essay form.

Sunak goes through me. I hate that thumb-hand thing he does

Westfacing · 15/07/2022 20:12

Ooh, a bit of argy bargy

Solasum · 15/07/2022 20:12

Liz seems to be warming up

I'm watching with a very large glass of wine, they are all incompetent morons

You missed the Blair handbook of public speaking hand gestures then.

roarfeckingroarr · 15/07/2022 20:13

Liz is right that Rishi condoned printing money and ridiculous lockdowns/furlough - he's responsible for us being in this mess.

I'm team Kemi. Plus I would love to have a black woman as leader. Take that only-ever-white-men Labour.

If I was in a work meeting with this lot I'd think they were all full of shit apart from Kemi. She'd be the one who'd listen and get back to you .

The truth.

I actually want Truss or Sunak to win. We need a change of government.

Show quote history

I think it was because it was about Moudants previous responsibility and Liz and Kemi have worked in that department so can confirm if policy wise what she was saying is true.

I really really don't like Penny. She is awful.

Kemi is the only one that seems competent and earnest

roarfeckingroarr · 15/07/2022 20:15

Raising income tax thresholds in line with inflation is fair

I think Rishi is doing ok . I tend to believe him - well a little

Well. Boris is certainly more charismatic than this lot.

She is telling you what you want to hear.

She has said this:
“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.”
