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 think the call has to be for any self respecting tory MP to refuse the whip. At the least this will reduce numbers and hopefully remove the majority.

@derxa that's right. Kirkcaldy High school wasn't a comp back in the day, it was the equivalent of an English grammar school.

No state schools are like Eton. Hence my thinking she should have more knowledge of ordinary families, their achievements and their struggles and their attitudes to education, work etc.

That's probably going to happen - might even be some that cross the floor - particularly those red wallers that haven't gone toxic. 30p Lee and Gullis - you lot are destined for the bin.

She comes across as someone with the empathy of a nat. I've met many women like this and work with a few too. Unable to feel anyone else's pain. People who cheat tend to be like this too.
It's weird that her parents were socialists and had opposite political views to her current ones too. Even Cummings said she is odd and he isn't exactly 'normal man up the pub ' type!
Getting that air hostess badge really has screwed her up.
She's Just odd.

Maggiethecat · 07/10/2022 14:21

@the80sweregreat - I think that's it - she seems to have zero empathy. Says whatever needs saying to hold sway with whoever calls the shots at any given time.

the80sweregreat · 07/10/2022 14:27

She has a cold heart I bet.
Many people do. Especially where I work as well
I also believe woman in power as much as she has try to put up a front to prove something
Mrs thatcher certainly did this too.
They can't be seen as weak

Do kids at school think like this? School is usually about getting through the day and mixing with your own group in my experience.
As someone mentioned, I think she's a bit odd and has always been focussed on her own agenda.

It’s just totally bonkers. She’s avoided windfall taxes and opted to borrow a hundred odd billion pounds , that will
take literally decades to pay back.

Tax cuts means you can’t spend on the public sector. So I fail to see how’s schools, the NHS, The Police etc will improve.

Were heading back for austerity. I can’t see any other solution.

If Labour win the next GE, can they windfall tax the energy companies and save us from massive government borrowing? Would Labour still do that ?

Add to that they've been given a budget of 960m for advertising for the next election.

What's the billion pound advertising budget for if not for the benefit of the country by reducing the chances of winter blackouts?

They want to spaff money up the walls on more slogans
A blanket a day keeps the cold at bay
Turn off the heat and freeze to death
Take a shower with a friend to save on costs

Looking like the filth has been up to more Pestminister nonsense.

Sturgeon says she's had no formal contact from Liz! Disrespect?

Liz Truss must want to burn our whole economy down so someone can profit from the rubble. That's the only explanation I can think of.

What's best for the country and people's energy bills?

That we don't have rolling blackouts and people are well informed about their energy consumption.

Is Liz Truss going to rollout the already created campaign to help people use less energy?

No.

Is she ruling out blackouts.

No.

Then why isn't she trying to help?

Apparently there is nigh on a billion pounds put aside for this kind of thing.

There's an action she can take to help this country and she's not doing it.
