Bloody hell, we are being governed by an idiot

Well, I knew that already, but every day she shocks me with the heights her deluded self-confidence goes to

.... and hopefully their own seats too!

You must credit Truss with one achievement though. She actually managed to appoint a Home Secretary who is worse than Priti Patel.

You’re right. Who’d have believed it was possible?

Am I looking back on Boris with rose tinted glasses already?!

This shit show needs to end

Growth growth growth
The trouble is they don't say how.
Ripping up the rule books won't encourage people to invest here.
It's all meaningless.
We had more growth under the last Labour government. I know we have had covid and the energy crisis , but it's still been 12 years of the Conservatives in power. Why wasn't this the priority at the start if this all they think will drive it forwards ?
I'm didn't hear all of her speech , but was the nhs mentioned?

A good line from the Guardian live blog about the 'anti-growth coalition'.

Quote:
It was also hypocritical. If Truss really wants to go to war with the anti-growth coalition, she would pick a fight with Brexiters opposed to rejoining the single market, MPs who block development on the green belt and politicians who want to restrict immigration. But she can’t, because that’s her party.

I would like, if anyone has influence to tell right people, to hear a podcast discussion of Singapore vs. all UK. Rory Stewart & Alastair Campbell did about 5 minutes of this topic on their podcast this week, but they only scratched the surface.

If "Singapore on Thames" is where Truss/KK want us to go, explain how Singapore came to exist and what would be different in UK from today.

RS/AC talked about the army of poorly paid (pay rates by nationality!) immigrants that underpin Singapore economy. Singapore’s 1.42 million foreign workforce today makes up close to a quarter of the country’s population of 5.7 million people. Aside from the close to 400,000 foreign professionals holding either an Employment Pass or S-Pass, nearly all the rest are work permit holders in low-wage, low-skilled positions. Imagine if almost 1/2 of UK working age population was not citizens.

Her dream for Christmas is to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. These people are seriously sick puppies with seriously warped minds.
