To think Liz Truss is out of her God damn mind

I don’t know why caused such self harm to myself by watching her awful speech.

Anti growth coalition? There won’t even need to be a coalition looking at the polls.

I don't understand how they are going to make GPs see people in two weeks. Do they think GPs are just sitting round doing nothing at the moment and they are going to make them work harder or do they think that now they've found the magic money tree they can find a magic doctor tree?

Sorry forgot to ask if anyone knows if there is a plan for the GPs seeing people in two weeks or is it just something they are saying. I have my suspicions.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 19:53

Let's face it, it's all just conservative smoke mirrors and bull shit.
Someone is pulling her arms and it's all the worst people you can imagine.
We're also stuck with them for ages too

YANBU. She is waaaay out of her depth, the cronies she has put into the top positions ain't got a clue what they're doing either, and there needs to be a General Election to get the Tories out.

Bring back BORIS - or Theresa May. Or anyone really other than this little grinning and smirking 'Maggie Thatcher Wannabe!'

Honestly, people wanted Boris out, (and Theresa,) but I think this is a case of 'be careful what you wish for!'

I'm just watching it. She wants to remove the pesky rules (like employment rights), stop the echr from intervening, allow building rules and safety rules to be scrapped.

They won't be happy until most of the population is working 14 hours a day seven days a week so that the few can live in luxury.

She is lying through her teeth through most of it, slagging off the other leaders in the country as though she is so much better.

She thinks her chancellor is dynamic for fucks sake. Did she see the way he walked onto the stage? She is full of shit and spewing it out of every orifice.

And so fucking smug.

I did have to smile at the thought of someone describing Kwarteng as dynamic.

Well Home Secretary thinks that working people should just get another job on top rather than that they need to be well paid in the first place. So she, for one, probably does think that GPs are sitting around doing nothing.

Crazy isn't it.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 20:03

Listening to her fantasy of a well run NHS reminds me of Boris Johnson and his 40 new hospitals! Have they been built yet ?
Or anywhere close ?

Wonnle · 05/10/2022 20:09

They all lie and cheat just to get into any position of power !

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 20:12

Oh I know that they all lie and cheat !
It's sad really:(

L1ttledrummergirl · 05/10/2022 20:20

We'll be living in a Fascist society by then if that is the case.

I disagree. We may be lumbered with a fascist government that's out of control, but, I have faith in the British people. I don't think this is what the majority of the country want (backed up by recent polls) and I think that most people will quietly go about their lives, promoting the values that Britain stand for. I also think this bunch of pond life will be voted out at the first opportunity.

I'm also interested to see how many Tory MPs who want out have the guts to resign the whip and/or cross the floor.

No, no they don't. This is another Tory lie.

Exasperatednow · 05/10/2022 20:23

Yanbu.
We need something different. I'm fed up with ridiculous culture wars - now apparently most of the population are 'anti growth' according to her.

She's not a new broom. She been in government, actual ministerial positions and helped create the mess we're in.

She has no mandate. We need an election.

No they haven’t!! Oh and thousands more nurses have left since he made all those empty promises.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 20:25

Whose anti growth ?
The LP want to work with the private sector
It's just sound bites isnt it?

Yes we do.

General Election Now

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 20:27

The old red wall need to believe that things won't get better with the conservatives
I hope they start to discover they only look after their own
They might not , but this is the key I think

So once everyone moans about Liz enough and forces her to resign...

Who's next? Genuine question.

Keir Starmer. Not that I'm a Labour voter but they would never live another change of leader down. It's already bordering on ridiculous.

We have a huge pie in this country. 6th largest pie in the World! The problem is that very few people control the pie, hide the pie abroad and have far more pie than they need in a thousand lifetimes. Tories want a bigger pie, we need more slices. Awful horrible woman in every respect she brought out her 'cuck' husband at the end. Pass the sick bag Alice ....

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2022 20:42

I had food poisoning from a pie once

Dave20 · 05/10/2022 20:44

Look at her chancellor. He made one speech and brought the pound to its lowest in decades and made the Bank of England literally panic so much so they had to step in immediately.
People are literally fucked now for mortgages and rents will obviously rise to pay for the landlords interest rates. This will include people on UC too. The government have literally fucked every working class person over. In front of our very eyes.
Why are people still supporting them? Are they living in some parallel universe? What’s wrong with them?

You can’t be seen in A and E within 4 hours anymore and you can’t get a doctors appointment.

And 20 thousand less police officers..

Oh but wait…Apparently if your house gets burgled a police officer will actually come over and if you want a doctor you should be able to see one within 2 weeks! What fantastic goals for our public services!

It’s absolutely disgusting.

vera99 · 05/10/2022 20:45

One wonders if she has a hairy pie.. 😁
