To think truss will be a disaster for uk?

[Ilovemycatalot]

All the polls say she is ahead of sunak but I’m dreading her getting into power. Can anyone think of any positives as I’m struggling. I’m not that keen on sunak but given the choice I’d much rather him.

Has his faults? Constant lying, lawbreaking, corruption, channelling large government contracts to his mates, totally cocking up on PPE and care homes during the pandemic, cocking up on vaccines after the initial rollout, appointing a cabinet of bigots and incompetents? Getting us into a situation where our fuel costs have risen exponentially more than those in Europe?

To say nothing of appointing a known sexual molester to a position of power and then sending out his ministers to tell a succession of inconsistent lies for him.

Can you name any politician at cabinet or shadow cabinet level who has anything approaching that track record?

The Tories have been a disaster for the UK. Spin Lizzy will be the same.

Lets be honest the tories will be out next election no matter who gets in! Their absolute ineptitude dealing with the cost of living crisis is going to destroy them.

Indeed.

The only positive is that she will be the final nail in the Tories' coffin.

But it is actually frightening to think about how much more damage will be done to the country before we get a general election.

I do hope that she makes a total mess of her first months and that there is widespread unrest and national strikes . In the end conservative MPs might push her out and we get an early election.

They are a hopeless shower as the mood in the country is not that they are a great option. Just that the Tories are making themselves unelectable ( and in office during a major economic disaster which is always a hard sell). No-one thinks the country will be voting FOR labour, just that they will be voting against the Tories.

So yeah, that does make them a hopeless shower at being politicians. Bit like only winning a race because your opponent manacled themselves to the starting line.

Compare her to Keir Starmer and there is no contest. Sadly many people don't seem that keen on competence, integrity and intelligence compared to loud 'characters'. There's nothing wrong with Angie Rayner. If she was the product of millionaire parents with an Oxbridge education bought for her, I'm sure you'd love her. She is having to go through her political learning curve in the full glare of the public and a hostile press.

Don't worry, there'll be U-turn after U-turn. She just says what she thinks her base wants to hear. She's fueled by ambition and nothing else, which is why she is so dangerous.

She forgets that once this talent contest is over she's got to actually 'govern' the country.

Sounds exactly like her predecessor.

With a team like this behind her, how can she fail to finish the job already started by her predecessors: totally trashing the country while making themselves richer.

Kwasi Kwarteng - Chancellor
Suella Braverman - Home Secretary
James Cleverly - Foreign Secretary
Kemi Badenoch - Education Secretary
Jacob Rees-Mogg - Levelling-up Secretary
Rishi Sunak - Health
John Redwood - Economic Secretary

She's been promoted way past her ability. As have all the people she's planning to put in her cabinet

FFS, JRM as levelling up secretary?! He's going to bring back Victorian workhouses isn't he?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.

I just hope she puts Nadine as deputy PM

She's better than Rishi, and they're both better than Boris. All 3 are crap. There are no decent politicians in any party. We're screwed.

I have visions of Nadine as Education sec - the horror.

I disagree. There are some good ones, and many who are better than Johnson/Sunak/Truss.

Someone like Yvette Cooper, for example. I think it's hard to argue that she wouldn't be infinitely better than any of the above.

Penny Mordaunt will probably get a cabinet post. I think she's being tipped for Culture, Media and Sports Minister.🤦‍♀️

I think Truss must be very astute if she is going to make JRM minister for levelling up. He really is in tune with hardworking UK people . He deffo has the "common touch. "

No I read that was Badenoch, which would be perfect. She's good at stoking culture wars

They really do hate us 😭

jRM as leveling up secretary?! That has to be a joke!

Being better than those 3 doesn't make them good, merely less inept!

I'll concede that they may be some decent ones but sadly they'll be relatively unknown backbenchers that won't get a chance to shine. They always stick with the well-known morons.
Yvette Cooper has actually grown on me. I'd like to see her as Labour leader... But the squirrel in my garden would be a better PM than either of the muppets we're going to get shortly so I wouldn't be so rude to Yvette by rating her as anything less than infinitely better!

Not a fan but she's very far from dim - although don't quite get how she made it into Oxford PPE with ABC

She also seems to be hard working and thinks outside the box which I think is a positive. I think she might be ok for women too. I'm sure she's said something in the past about the need to help with childcare costs - but might be mistaken..

Oh no! I really hope Kemi Badenoch isn't appointed education secretary. She's the one who though support staff were entirely a waste of money and "superfluous".

She comes across as spectacularly stupid

Which means she will be
Truss seems to have found the worst possible options and put them forward for the job 🙄
