She just called the chancellor dynamic- has she never seen an actual dynamic person if that's her idea if dynamic?

I've watched a bit of her speech and I just find her so weird. I just can't believe she's the Prime Minister of GB, I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and it's all going to be a bad dream

The way she laps up the beginning endless applause for her is just so odd. Grinning, smirking, she was nearly wetting herself with excitement. The norm for me would be trying to close down the applause to get to the point of her being there which is speaking. But no, she is milking it for al it's worth. Just bizarre.

I know she's had speech training and it shows. The trump style exaggerated hand movements, the pregnant pauses long enough to give birth in, the facial expressions...all so stilted and just plain weird.

Wake me up from this nightmare someone pleeeease!

I feel as though I have been living in a nightmare since 2016.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 19:00

She is weird isn't she ?
Smug and very unlikeable

Liz Truss was given more than £500,000 for her leadership campaign, with about half of it coming from donors linked to hedge fund bosses, venture capitalists and other City financiers.

I think they've probably got their money's worth already.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 19:11

I'd love to know how they accrued 12 million.
Mr and mrs o Leary are loaded
If I had 12 mil in the banks I would not be doing that job!

@Notonthestairs Is this not a perfect front page headline story I wonder?
If not, why not?

The Mail would be all over it if it was starmer and getting lots of money !

Twitter and Huff Post having fun with the Truss notion that you can "grow the pie" 😝

I'm not sure Lord Rothmere or Murdoch are that interested. Well, until they decide they want rid of Truss then they'll be all over the story faster than you can say Akshata Murty.

^For 4 years when I was US Editor I went to endless Trump rallies where we’d be accused of being ‘enemies of the people’ - the ‘we’ were the media, but also ‘liberals’, civil servants, environmentalists, the swamp, the think tanks.
All felt a bit familiar in B’ham today^

Yes, and we watched this unfold on the trump threads, Duncin

Trump would invite the crowd to turn on the media and they did. To think we're seeing elements of this now, here, is scary

ClaudineClare · 05/10/2022 20:16

God, the Trump parallels are so true. Where the bloody hell are we heading?

newnamethanks · 05/10/2022 20:45

Be slightly comforted. First, she'd have to find a crowd of supporters. They seem rather thin on the ground.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 20:47

Pies or Pye?
Aspiring people know about pye
Pies ? Pork ones ?

She ran out of that conference
To see Jacob and her mates

Just saw someone on YouGov chat describe Truss as a "weapons grade muppet"

Sounds about right. 😂

Truss is coming over totally paranoid . Trying to whip up gullible people to support her as some kind of wronged leader. Give us a break.
The critics of her shit, outdated, unfair ideas are not in some kind of conspiracy against growth..Truss’ ideas are still unworkably shit and grossly unfair whether they’ve been criticised or applauded….

The Royal College of Nursing is balloting its members for the first time in its history.

Junior doctors have voted to ballot members - industrial action proposed for Jan 2023.

the80sweregreat · 06/10/2022 08:16

Good for them but it's scary times ahead for so many reliant on the NHS too
It's sad it's come to this though
