Here we are.

Derxa, are you happy with Truss trade deal with Aus and NZ?

No. What's that got to do with Nicola and her rabble?

You are the one saying Go Liz Truss!

I guess that is just selective cheering and not an overall endorsement

I can't stand Liz Truss

It's just such lazy politics though. It was a golden opportunity to cheer on what the Union can offer. Offer positivity.

And - by drawing the lines narrowly around personality rather than policy - what will be remembered is that Sturgeon has been chosen by the electorate. Truss hasn't.

I'm not a 'you lot' derxa.

I'm not saying everyone supports Sturgeon or independence by any means but, if her party suddenly rolled over, they would be the most enormous hypocrites.

ps that story was in The Guardian.

"It turns out Liz Truss willfully misrepresented her own public sector pay proposals"

More inconsistencies. It's almost like they are making up as they go along and we'd have no idea what their actual policies might be. How can anyone make a sensible choice?

I have often said the best argument against Scottish independence is the SNP. Any Westminster government not prepared to argue the case for the union and seeking just to ignore those who want independence is a poor advocate.

Truss's "trash talk" train picks up speed as Sunak sees, and bides his time.

Are you a Conservative member who can vote Elodie09?

Yup. What a shower of half wits they are.

Why does it still surprise me how utter shit they are

Tory leadership candidate Liz Truss backtracks on plan to link public sector pay to local living costs

"The backstory…

Truss camp always said regional pay was for new contracts so no pay cuts for current workers

And argued it was first for civil service, then maybe public sector

BUT they picked an £8.8bn savings figure based on cuts now + for whole public sector. So…ditched"

Incoherent policy making requiring rapid U turns. Where have we seen this before?

Blimey, that didn’t take long. I can’t keep up with the U turns.

I think the U turns are just doughnuts now.

Given that very many people's pay has not for the past 12 years kept up with living costs, local or otherwise, are we to understand from this that Liz Truss is proposing above inflation pay rises for very many public sector workers?

Tale of two busses

@DuncinToffee No.

@DuncinToffee You have wounded me........

Not intentionally, I can offer you a plaster if that makes it better

I am beginning to think u turn doesn't quite cover it.

They throw out a bunch of lies and then wait to see which ones can be immediately & obviously challenged.

Then lie about the reverse ferret.

Layers of lies wrapped around nonsense.

"Wilful misrepresentation" my arse.

Surely, surely the Conservative Party can do better than this? They're the dregs. I thought the Hague/Howard/Duncan Smith era was poor. At least they were in opposition

I had a glance at the Express this morning which was praising Truss's plans for the public sector pay.

And Rees-Mogg was saying how good it was

I wonder what they will say tomorrow?

"Latest YouGov / Times Tory members poll - 34 point lead for Truss

60% Truss
26% Sunak"

Cake - they'll ignore what they said yesterday and talk about Sunak the Socialist again 🙄
