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

Liz Truss had to be convinced to issue statement amid market turmoil after mini-budget

Al the Tories, especially the Eton ones, are spectacularly deluded. Taught they are born to rule and that the rest of us are the underclass. I read an article about posh boarding schools and the culture they foster. A memorable paragraph was about a boy going into a post office and being proud of interacting with the clerk as if he was a real actual human.

I think Eton and Oxford should pay reparations to us as the people they have spawned have RUINED the UK

Someone needs to return Oxfords village idiot back to its home town 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've come to the conclusion that Tory voters are thick. There's just no other explanation.

I still don't buy that she's clever. Getting into Oxford to me means bugger all

Surely there must be some way the public could force a general election?

We had our chance

She certainly lacks emotional intelligence

It seems like we will end up with a few super rich people and the peasants, which is pretty much what they want anyway, so perhaps the very few Tory hard core who elected her think she's good.

Kwartang seems like a dickhead and it doesn't say much about her judgement. I'd rather have someone with common sense than 'mind bending logic' who's clearly unfit for the job.

They just want to stop immigrants even though we need them desperately
Nothing else matters apparently.

It's fine that nothing works in this country as long as immigrants don't get to have anything. Who cares that life is now shit?

And- OH! Truss is now relaxing rules on immigration, so joke's on them!

This week’s week in Tory pretty much nails it in the first tweet.

Tory leaders are literally stripping the country of assets and cutting tax rates for themselves and their friends ...

We can only hope that Conservative members pick the next country's leader a little better.

The pool of talentless idiots among Tory MPs is very deep at the moment. I bet they can find a bigger idiot than Truss.

Suella Braverman is waiting in the wings.

I would be wary of Boris nostalgia though. I've said it on other threads but it really wouldn't surprise me if this was the plan all along amongst Boris supporters (if indeed there are any left...). Engineer someone even more incompetent to take over as PM then ride in after a few months, all being forgiven, to "save the day".

I saw that! Unbelievable that it's not a parody! All true and all within a week. WTF 😳

Let them bring him back. At least he U turns like a fucking joyrider because he needs to be popular. Less dangerous than this dickhead puppet Truss

The Tories are so deluded that they don't realise how unpopular he is. He's projected to lose his own seat FFS

The only thing I can really think is, The Conservatives know they aren't winning the next GE, so they are going to spend the next two years making their friends and themselves rich, borrow billions, bankrupt us and then hand it all over to labour and say "there you go, you sort it, I'm off on my private yacht round the med"

Me too.

@GreenLunchBox this. I saw Keir Starmer speaking earlier this year and he was asked about his time at Oxford (where he did his postgrad, he was an undergrad at Leeds). He said it's really odd, full of these really odd people who think that all of the oddness is normal. Said he was glad he had gone to Leeds first as it maybe could have been easy to become 'one of them' and start forgetting what the real world is actually like, even though he was from a WC background and attended a state run grammar, so not from a privileged background at all.

He only spent a year there and had a reference point, but it's easy to see that if you had spent your life at a school like Eton, then gone to Oxford and then straight into finance or something similar, you'd have no experience or view of the real world. What's insane is what a tiny percentage of the country are educated/bought up this way but what an overwhelming amount of them there are in parliament. Normal people are overwhelmingly being represented by people who've got no clue what our lives really look like.

Disaster Capitalism is going to plan…

Well that’s been all over the media before she even took over, and why he left with hasta la vista baby,

It’s so so depressing. Has anyone else just completely ran out of fucks to give? Just when you think it can’t get worse, we get gestures vaguely …. This…

Don't forget though that despite the head bangers in Parliament at the end of the Parliamentary process for selecting a new leader the people who actually saw the candidates on a frequent basis, i.e. the Tory MPs, voted:

Sunak 137
Truss 113

After that the two candidates went into the run off where the vote was held across the whole of the Tory party membership.....and that ended up:

Truss 57%
Sunak 43%

Ultimately it probably was as @LadyWithLapdog said, down to "some nostalgic oldies thought she was the second Thatcher coming."

😂
Indeed. If you don't laugh you'll cry

I actually searched the WORLD to see which other countries would take my qualifications but sadly as I only speak English and do not want to live in the USA with all their guns I am stuck here

My plan would be to make as much money as I can as soon as possible so I can get out. Unfortunately I have family that can't do the same so I'm stuck ☹️

Have you ever had a job where someone who is a complete fucking idiot gets to be your boss in spite of being as thick as mince and an incompetent yet malevolent bastard? That’s Liz Truss in a nutshell.

What I dont understand is that Thatcher was super-unpopular
