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

She looks like the ghost of a dead Tory leader.

Yes, and Hitler was a vegetarian…. Hmm

Well played

I would be concerned that an adult is into childrens music. Really, it’s for fifteen year olds, not fifty year olds.

FFS OP stop saying “Swiftie”. It is tooth-achingly twee.

Then again, you appear to be 12 so perhaps we should nod and smile. You’ll grow out of it.

Pop music is for all ages!

Well those are her three priority pledges, so maybe...

Try not to be such a numpty OP.

She won't sort out the economy as she doesn't understand it. She believes opening the UK to Australian beef imports will benefit British beef farmers.

She doesn't care about the cost of living because her remit is to retain wealth for the better off. The "tax cut" hints we have been given so far suggest that she will cut NI, which benefits the better off by hundreds or thousands of pounds, but the poorer by peanuts. What she means is tax cuts for the rich & business, & worse & worse conditions for the majority of drones workers.

"Fix" the NHS? Yeah - but not in the way you mean OP. She's a keen proponent of Reaganomics, & reckons deregulation & corporate tax breaks are the way forward. If you need that translated - selling the NHS off to US interests.
She'll also look to dispose of much of the EU sanctioned human & workers' rights, in the interests of deregulation. You think the minimum wage is too low & zero hours contracts are bad news? Wait til you see the new deregulated Britain, where a gig economy will be rampant & people will be working 60 hour weeks with fewer & fewer rights around breaks, holiday & sickness.

The UK is basically going to fuck itself to economic death. But Truss & her ilk won't care - they are, & due to their connections, always will be, financially very comfortable, so if you are in poverty, screw you for not getting on your bike.
All the money will be sucked upwards to the pointy end of the pyramid, & the lower levels of poverty & deprivation will become broader. Welcome to post-Brexit tory Britain - the new feudal state.

Who gives a flying f about that?!

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 another Thatcher. Google the Thatcher years OP, I can’t be bothered explaining it to you.

Your level of intelligence is apparent by your initial post.

All very good, well educated points. BUUUUT, she slips in Taylor Swift lyrics. I mean, what more do you want from the leader of our country?!

Are you absolutely sure she can't persuade you into forgetting all that trivial shit about poor people, the NHS, human rights and all that what-not about those pesky rich people taking the piss, and just realise that vomiting out popstar lyrics is what this country needs right now?!

Getting your knickers in a knot about actual politics is neither here nor there when Truss can just shake it off with some dipshit bollocks.

"All's well that ends well to end up with you"
The UK, re Liz Truss <3

KettrickenSmiled · 07/09/2022 22:54

Sorry @UrghBlahBlahBleugh [stares at shoes]
Won't do it again [shifts feet uneasily]
I will try harder to think it all through [8 seconds elapse]

Yay! Enlightenment! Pop lyrics make FAR more sense than the current administration's policies! A vote for Trump Truss is a vote for singing your way out of hunger & chillblains!
