to let you know our new PM is a Swiftie!

[beastlyslumber]

This makes me like her more. I hope she manages to get a Taylor Swift lyric into every PMQs.

I have a penchant for obscure 90's indie band Pavement.

You should care about Liz Truss liking Swift as much as you care about me liking Pavement.

Why do people not like Liz Truss? (Sorry for being ignorant)

Might be something to do with her voting record? That shit sticks.

😂

Couldn't care less what music Truss listens to, she is yet another disaster for this country. (Though great news for Scotland whom she plans to ignore and this hopefully will accelerate the move to Independence)

Hahaha, no! Just pointing interested parties towards that discussion.

Because she's a woman. At least that's what all the threads seem to focus on.

I like her, as far as I can tell anyway. I've no idea what she'll be like as PM - then again, neither does anyone else!

She's a nice singer, not a fucking genius. Liking Taylor Swift is not an indication of an appreciation of literature just like being deeply into Victorian literature isn't an indication that you're into rap at the weekends.

Does she actually like Swift? Is that just a name she came up with that might make her look relatable? A bit like Cameron with his West Ham Villa ...

It's all utter bollocks and means the square root of sweet FA. She is an awful person, she has precisely no fucks to give about the people who are suffering in this country and is on a path to being an even worse PM than her predecessor.

She could do a magic spell on Keanu Reeves to make him fall in love with me and I'd still think she was an unmitigated arsehole.

I don't really think it's up to you to say what I should and shouldn't care about. I'm glad you have a band you like though.

God you lot are doomy.

I thought it was funny. Well anyway. Off to watch MAFSUK.

I hope she manages to get a Taylor Swift lyric into every PMQs.

Oh dear, she just might respond to her critics with 'haters gonna hate'.

Wtf is this thread? Are we actually now basing our political choices on which popstars politicians like?

Ffs, I fucking despair.

I really.
fucking.
despair!

Sometimes I wish I'd never had kids, because the world they're growing up in makes me sad for them.

No wonder we're up shit fucking creek.

The first thing she did was rule out a windfall tax on the obscene profits the energy companies have been hauling in.

Another Tory protecting their friends and investments and to hell with the general public.

I don't give a flying fuck what music artists she pretends to like to appear to be like one of 'us'.

Why do people not like Liz Truss? (Sorry for being ignorant)

Because she's a woman.

Another irrelevance! Couldn't care less if she is male, female or identifies as a pancake!
She is dire - another right wing 'me and my pals first' Tory.

Makes a change from voting for the best looking candidate!!😀

100% she had a junior write that speech for her.

Sorry but I can't be lighthearted about this. She's vile and I'm terrified for the future of our country and our planet. Jacob Rees fucking Mogg is a climate change denier and she's put him in charge of the environment. She's a cunt and I'm scared. The only good thing is that they won't be in for long but I'm worried that too much damage can be done in that time.

Rather be doomy than tone fucking deaf.

People are worried about the capacity and ability of the leader of our country making decisions that will impact everyone in a very delicate time and you are bashing out trite nonsense about 'Swifties'? Why is that funny?

!omg and she's even quoted her lyrics in the House of Commons! What's she like??

Excuse me while I vomit

You're right there! I wanted to scream at my MIL when she voted tory purely because she didn't "like the look of Corbyn"

Policies, agenda's, manifestos... no, none of that was any basis for her vote. She couldn't actually give me one politically based reason as to why she'd vote tory or against labour. She didn't know what either party stood for. She just didn't like the 'look' of Corbyn.

Vote whoever the hell you want if it's inline with your own political views. But to base a vote purely on "I just don't like the look of him" is beyond fucking ludicrous.

I'm starting to think politics needs to be raised as a new subject as part of the curriculum, being taught from at least the start of secondary school. So our future generations can give educated votes, rather than "but she's a Swift fan!"

I used to think she was an arse, but now that she likes Taylor Swift I really, really am in love ❤

I don't like her because she's just going yo carry out the right wing agenda shes spouted during her election campaign. Nothing to do with her bring female.

And she's told us how she plans to lead and I don't like what I've heard.

Hate her even more now... well done!

Well, perhaps 'Today was a Fairytale' come true, but she 'Should've Said No' because 'Call It What You Want' she's a 'Mad Woman' who will bring nothing but 'Trouble, Trouble, Trouble'.

(Perhaps she could get a Taylor Swift lyric in every speech. After all, Taylor does write a lot of songs about messy relationships and heartbreak).
