What is wrong with Liz Truss?

[Over40Overdating]

Mad? Thick? Possibly evil?
How does someone who inflicted the damage she has on the lives of so many, with ‘solutions’ like the below considered to fix her mess, have the gall to show her face in public.

I know she’ll claim unfounded allegations, hatchet job etc but given how insane she appears to be, I’d put nothing past her. Kwarteng is clearly relishing the chance to stick the boot in whilst he can. What loyalty.

@Muffinlover2 I do blame her for words and actions that stem from her directly. She and Kwarteng pushed that budget through despite the warnings and it seems when it blew up in their faces she seriously suggested pulling chemo to save money. In that instance I am glad she wasn’t allowed to have final say as PM.

Thats a bit harsh on shellfish.

Over promoted for her ability and out of touch.

No one with any idea would suggest ending cancer treatment as a cost saving exercise. It demonstrates a total lack of awareness of expectations from the public and what they value. It neglects to recognise that her job was to serve the interests of the public and do their best for them.

Telling them that they are going to die / their mother is going to die to bridge the deficit isn't going to poll terribly well. I wonder what her plan would have been for the mass protests it would have created.

She’s not making a lot of money - she’s talking to empty rooms and trying to promote her book at tiny literary festivals in the arse end of Norfolk. Her attempt at hitting the speaker circuit in the US was a disaster as the Americans hate a loser. I’m starting to feel quite sorry for her - and once people start feeling sorry for you that’s the end of your political career.

@IsthatyouKateAdie a year! Were you ever tempted to knock on her head and shout ‘anyone in there’?

There have been times like at the GE results when it looks like she’s disassociating or heavily medicated. You’d need to be to avoid any chance of a moment of self awareness dropping in.

No. No. This was entirely down to her. Bizarre to suggest otherwise.

You're an apologist for the inexcusable and unforgivable. I wondered if you're actually a bot, that's all 🤷‍♂️

Over40 Yeah I agree she's no doubt crazy, stupid, ambitious psychopath. But she was very useful at the time.

I can't believe you actually pressed post on that.

I am not really an apologist for anything. I don't like her or any of them.

What annoys me is that the absolute selfishness and egotistical pushing through of patently ridiculous ideas such as Brexit and the Truss budget have had a real world effect of pushing everyday people into hardship. It's a kind of societal/economic vandalism by people with a cast-iron sense of entitlement.

I read she's made hundreds of thousands.

Absolute bullshit

IMO she has the 'head up ones own arse' personality disorder.

She's incompetent and completely lacking empathy or social skills. She also believes in herself 100% despite massive evidence to the contrary.
What role could she possibly do other than be a Tory MP?

Hugely offensive and wrong.

She’s absolutely nuts? Or trying to save face for the sake of her family. No idea. If I was her I would take myself off to another country in exile.

I've just read this and am now seriously thinking she's mentally ill.

What an utterly vile post.

Your social skills don't seem so hot yourself btw.

No one’s mentioned the booze. She’s a big drinker

@Lifeinlists this is a shockingly ignorant and offensive comment

Neither can I.

Yes, you are right😁.

I don't know what's wrong with her, but also what wrong with all the people paying large sums for her to speak at their events? She's a terrible speaker , even if she ever said anything useful.
