Album to think we now have a 'PM' that has been voted in by nobody?

As much as I dislike Truss and her economics she was at least upfront about them and the Conservative Party voted her in.

Now her economic plan has been completely undone by Hunt, it isn't reasonable to say she is 'PM', she is a puppet, and her master is Hunt.

Can you imagine what the paper headlines would be saying if Labour had done this?

General election now.

100% agree. She did not for one second lie about what she planned to do. She said it a thousand times during the leadership campaign, wrote a book about it in 2012 and was selected by members to do what she had promised

This, the government have undermined a PM that did what she said. Has it got so bad that everyone assumes that what they say they will do is a lie?

I 100% agree. She did not for one second lie about what she planned to do. She said it a thousand times during the leadership campaign, wrote a book about it in 2012 and was selected by members to do what she had promised. I can’t understand why everyone is now acting surprised?

It’s been as clear as day for many years that she is, as one her colleagues have dubbed her, a ‘libertarian jihadist’ supported by shadowy American backed think tanks.

Maybe her failing was to be too honest. She should’ve pretended to be a ‘compassionate conservative’ in order to obscure her real plans like Cameron talking about hugging hoodies whilst giving us austerity.

I suppose the interesting question is was it the plan that was wrong, or the execution? Not that we’ll ever know now, or that it really matters. What’s done is done.

It's not being undone by Hunt. She's playing it surprisingly well and by having him change it, makes it look like it was all KK gone rogue.

I think that might be what she's hoping for, but iI haven't seen any sign that people are buying it.

Agree with PP she did exactly what she said she'd do. This is what Conservative members wanted. It was obvious what would happen and some of them and their friends will have done very well out of it.

Ma6be her recklessness exposed financial holes left by the last administration. As well as being disastrous on its own merit.
