Thread 2. Starmer, return of the Labour government

[L1ttledrummergirl]

Yes, lame but the last thread was nearly full.

Have you seen her wandering around the RNC? She looks entirely clueless, and bemused. Although she always was pretty vacant.

Whoever is in charge of her "office" and is writing these bizarre missives purporting to be from her is a very sick person...

"Our mate Phil" did an interesting analysis of British loonybins sneaking around the RNC (I take it we've all seen the picture of Johnson, Truss and Farage addressing an audience of 2 ).

They totally don't get the "A" in MAGA means no one gives a toss about foreigners - which is what they are to MAGAman. The phrase "can't get arrested" springs to mind.

In fact, on a serious note, MAGA is interesting as it is deliberately not trying to link up with other fascist groups around the world. I guess that is a limit of their core base.

Also, Boris Johnson, should be very very very careful to make sure his MAGA mates do not discover he gave up his US citizenship to avoid paying tax. It really wouldn't sit well in a lot of bars in Mississippi.

I've a regular annual work trip to the US next month - it's the first time in 10 years I'm not really looking forward to it.

I find Liz Truss fascinating in a horror way. I just can't understand how she thinks she is relevant any more. Her parents were very left wing, and she turned from a Republican Lib Dem... to what she is now, hard right wing. How and why, I'd love to know

Insanity?

She is utterly deranged

Huh. Before the election a poster on here told me the fact my mortgage had gone up 50% because of Truss was my own fault for being disorganised and not fixing before she got in.

I'm very pleased we are now past that nonsense

Yep! I remember reading towards the end of the lettuce time, she had more official photo ops than any other PM in recent times. An absolute tool.

She went to school very near to where I grew up. She then claimed that she went to school in a very deprived area. Roundhay couldn't be any more middle class and affluent if it tried! (Incidentally, also the school my mother taught at. She would have given her short shrift about that, were she still with us!)

I grew up in Yorkshire too and Liz Truss saying she understood the "red wall" because she came from it used to really make me laugh! 😂

It could only be less likely if she was from Adel

I remember being and at a corporate night out (at York races with my dp of the time). She mentioned that her ds had pled with her to be allowed to go to his rugby training that night on his own, as she wouldn't be around to take him, but that she hadn't let him.

He was sixteen. They lived in Roundhay. Rugby training was there too.

Ok, this was over 30 years ago . Things might have changed

Nope. Roundhay still as affluent and fortunate as it could be!

A quick look at Zoopla shows that the two houses up for sale that are nearest to Roundhay School are on the market for £1.45m and £1.75m.

I remember thinking I was never going to be as paranoid and over-protective when I had kids.

And I wasn't

Liz Truss is like a hollow person who tries on different identities and ideologies for size. None of them really fit.

Ha! This image just came into my head

FUN FACT: Many of these same people refused to wear a mask because it would make them look stupid.

Talk TV presenter David Bull who is also the former dep. leader of Reform and candidate for W. Suffolk joining in

So these people claim to be his supporters, but they are happily taking the piss out him for wandering around with a bit of cloth stuck to his ear.

Will the manchild/baby still be wearing it in a month for the sympathy vote, or will he have finally realised that he just looks like a bigger knob than usual?

"Sympathy vote"

Apparently polling has yet to shift ?

It's vaguely like "The Emperors New Clothes" ? Or is it just me ?

Anyone read of the blue/green factions in Rome ? (was the basis of a plot for "The Tomorrow People" in 1974....)

Anybody watched the satire Liz truss on YouTube? Liv struss.
She's absolutely hilarious.

iNews is saying Braverman is expected to defect to reform. Will she start wearing an ear bandage?

Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven ?

Apparently Suella is doing one of James O'Brien holiday slots next week on LBC. Should be interesting 😲

What? Sue Ellen? You know when your mum used to say 'if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all' ? This is one of those occasions.

Wow I've just watched Kemi Badenoch speaking down to Angela Rayner in HoC today. What a nasty woman.
