The underlying problem was she became PM. This woman was once the second most powerful person in the country; albeit for a couple of months. Let that sink in.The underlying problem is that Truss was chosen by Tory members - probably because she was white and had a vague resemblance to Thatcher. The Tories are no longer a mass party. Their membership in no way reflects the general population. Not even the general population that broadly thinks of themselves as 'Conservative'. You are looking at a clique dominated by old, white people mainly from rural and suburban areas, spiced with wild-eyed UKIP types and outright cranks.
The equivalent would be a Labour leader picked by Socialist Worker types, animal activists and social workers.
The last few Prime Ministers (and most cabinet members) suggest we are now a bullshitocracy.The underlying problem was she became PM. This woman was once the second most powerful person in the country; albeit for a couple of months. Let that sink in.
We stopped being a meritocracy a long, long time ago.
Yes. Irrespective of your views on Cameron, Blair, etc. at the very least they had statesman-like qualities. Our last three PMs have been court jesters sent out to entertain the masses. But the joking has been unfunny and cruel.The last few Prime Ministers (and most cabinet members) suggest we are now a bullshitocracy.
Johnson was certainly a court jester, but Sunak is just a strange, deluded individual and Truss is strange, deluded, warped, ridiculous and just about any other insulting adjective you can think of. Teresa May went from our worst ever prime minister to fourth on the list within a year.Yes. Irrespective of your views on Cameron, Blair, etc. at the very least they had statesman-like qualities.

May could negotiate with Europe (sort of) but she couldn't negotiate with the Brexit fuckwits in her own party who wanted an impossible deal.May was a bit of a crap negotiator but she wasn’t objectively a complete moron with no moral compass.
Admittedly that’s a low bar but history will be comparatively kind to her.
