Another nail in the coffin.

What a load of pish - feminism isn't about supporting the morally bankrupt just because they are female.

So bitter. She's landed a top job.good for her. As a woman, I think its great.

the80sweregreat · 05/09/2022 16:04

She is a pound shop Boris Johnson even down to the affairs as well.
UnTrussWorthy
I wouldn't trust her to deliver a letter.

Exactly that. Feminism is about supporting women as a class, not defending a far right politician who’s hellbent on removing our rights.

Rishi looked pretty grim as well! She's vacuous

Sunak is vacuous too. I’m no Truss fan but find her better than the expensive suit with nothing upstairs that is Sunak, bit fed up the sexist flavour to a lot of the anti-Truss vibe.

So much female solidarity from the feminists 🤔

She doesn't deserve support purely because she is a woman. There are plenty of prominent women I support, just not this bumbling, out of her depth woman who cares little, if at all, for most of the general public.

So if we think she’s a terrible human being and/or will be a shite PM we should support her because she’s a woman?
I actually find that quite anti feminist- judge people on their merits NOT their sex

Yes, nobody spouting that kind of regressive sexist bullshit has any business lecturing anyone else about feminism.

Oh, give over. Don't any of you Tories have an original bone in your bodies?

I don't have to feel 'solidarity' with someone that I believe is going to run the country into the ground, just because she has a vagina.

Far right 😂truth is this is about the Tories still being in power. Deal with it. So I take it you all would have preferred the dodgy hypocrite to have got in. Oh wait, you want Labour. Never mind.

I’ll be getting my woolly hat, scarf, gloves and hot water bottle ready in preparation for the winter of discontent. I hope Liz Truss doesn’t add to the difficulties but I really don’t have a good feeling about this.

Do any of you Labourites have an original bone? Surprised the obligatory rich mates term hasn't been seen yet.

Are those winter clothes still hanging around from Labour's term of WoD?

Yes, we don't live in a multi party democracy with one constituent country where the Tories and Labour aren't even an electoral force, and where the largest vote in the last GE went to none of the above. People are only ever Tory or Labour, nothing else.

Why do all today's MN Tory cheerleaders sound like 12 year olds?

hamstersarse · 05/09/2022 16:11

I don't believe in supporting women at any cost but there have been a fair number of personal attacks on her on this thread, which is just unnecessary but typical of the anti-Tories

Be fair, there's a labour squeeze on. Nobody can get the staff these days. I'm sure the Year 8s are trying their best!

SleeplessInEngland · 05/09/2022 16:12

I see some 'WhatAboutLabooouuuur??' posters have had a name change and recalibrated from johnson to truss.

I mean, the irony Grin

But sure, let's see what Lizzie comes up with. I'm sure we'll all be deeply, deeply thankful of her incisive decision-making and laser-sharp focus when winter comes and half the country can't afford to switch the heating on.

Oh, I forgot, apparently according to you lot those sky-high bills are our own fault, aren't they?

You could probably answer that yourself, as you've also had a dig at people who don't support the Tories, at the same time as making your post.

vera99 · 05/09/2022 16:14

I can only imagine what the get behind Liz Tories had to say about Diane Abbott (who had a debilitating illness btw).

I hate the word 'nice'. 'Nice' is limp and superficial. Would never describe myself as such.

LOL - Some people are overly dramatic.
Far Right
Hellbent
Removing rights

I assume that you were all for lockdowns, and emergency legislation to make seeing relatives a criminal offence.
