Breaking news: Liz Truss is the next PM

[ErmagerdtheQuern]

God help us all.

'People forget about the silent majority who lurk in such conversations and cba engaging with the hysterical vacuous rhetoric.'

This is true. I've tried to attempt reasonable debate in recent months but all I get is Tory scum/Nads fancies BJ/BJ is a crim type of comments.

Good news for the Labour party!

l pay no attention to politics, they never follow through on anything, complete waste of time. Let them get on with it, l refuse to play along.

Agree 100% , gentler politics and all that. Most posters on this thread spewing poison really need to look in the mirror and realise they are in an echo chamber.

Liz has already been in a position of power
During those roles she has sone stuff I found quite disgusting - like Northern Ireland
She has said some vile and stupid things on the campaign trail - tax cuts won't help the poor

So no I won't give her any benefit of doubt just because she's female - if that's the only good thing you can say for her I guess in your heart of hearts you are not at all hopeful either

Here we go the vocal minority on MN bashing another female priminister who has not held the position for even a couple of hours.

Er, no. Equality means she doesn't get kudos just for being a woman. We're past that, and it's a good thing.

I may not like this news, but the LP need to get their act together too
Politics is in a bad way all round :(

The last PM hid in a fridge, the new one couldn't find her way out of one.

Who'd have thought Pork Markets would be PM.

Fucking hell.

Its a shame a majority of the county never vote labour isn't it, reading this you know why.

The majority of the country never vote tory either.

In voting for Liz Truss, the Conservative members have voted in the Labour Party. If only Starmer showed a little integrity re woman’s rights I would be happy about it.

Maybe we will have more pork now.
Not that anyone can afford a nice joint of pork anymore. Or most meat come to think of it

I read an article at the weekend arguing that if Truss follows the policies she says she will, we will have a stockmarket collapse.

This is what Phillip Hammond said
Only he was nice about it

No you picked the wrong energy company because you didn't properly evaluate their business model. Own your own mistakes.

We are well and truly f**ked.

That you Liz?

@FreddyHG I did not realise we are to blame for not being able to afford to heat our house, because we do not know how to properly evaluate the viability of an energy business.
I mean we are not talking about buying off a man in a pub. Any company allowed to sell gas and electric should be viable. This is a regulated market.

Most unpopular Tory PM ever.

That’s the Tories screwed for the next election. Time for Labour to get it’s house in order.

The funny thing is MN is not full of woke leftys. Benefit bashing threads are common and often the comments are as right-wing as in Daily Mail articles.

Simp

@shootfromthehip145 you say we don't know what Truss will do? So we weren't supposed to believe those things she said she'd do, and those she wouldnt, during the leadership campaign? Is that your stance?

if so, I really do despair. Following your logic, none of the 150k conservative members had any idea, at all, what they voted for. And have bequeathed us a government that they (conservative party members) and us have no idea what it may do, or not do. Is that what you are saying? I think the majority of posters on this thread are basing their judgments on the policy Truss espoused during the leadership selection.

I'm which case, we are well and truly fucked

Seeing the number of people on here who completely misjudged future energy prices or indeed had the ability to asses a companies fundamentals then yes but it's not hard. This was basic economics was clear then as now.
