Do you care that Liz Truss had an affair?

On the one hand, I feel that it's her own business, but on the other, I want a PM I can look up to, who I can trust, who has dignity. After Boris, after his endless lies, Truss doesn't inspire the integrity that I want to see in my country's leader. AIBU?

Frankly, I'm much more concerned that she co-authored Britannia Unchained, or whatever rubbish it was called. She's terrifying as our PM.

Apparently she wrote the section on education. What did she write - can you remember? I haven't read the book myself.

Yes, Britannia Unchained, or, as someone more accurately put it, Britannia Unhinged. Other co-authors included Kwarteng, Raab, Patel and someone called Chris Skidmore. Among much else, it calls British workers 'among the worst idlers in the world',

Hello Clavinova. There isn't a section on education as such. They suggest that we should be more like the US where schools apparently encourage more risk taking. Surprised you haven't read it, actually.

Sounds a bit like 'Forest School'.

They used to live on the same street in Greenwich. It is all passing strange .

There is definitely not a communicating door hidden in the wardrobe.

Probably.

Affairs not a problem. Her management of the economy and prioritising the more well off - massive problem.

littlenickyy61 · 06/10/2022 16:16

Think an affair is the least of our worries when she is literally screwing over the whole country

Same street? NextDoor? that is very, very lazy and shows a lack of imagination and energy. Tsk.😳

How does it work with Abbot ? Teleportation maybe.

If you like your gossip this is a good well-researched read.

@Abhannmor - very late to answer you, but fyi, TA is on the UK Board of Trade, so in the UK every few weeks… sounds ideal to me!

I’ve just read this today! Thank you for the link - it’s a very good read.

I had wondered about the timings of Truss’s affair with Field. Curiouser and curiouser.

Abhannmor · 25/10/2022 11:40

Crikey . Yes it could work out nicely. She really can pick em though....
