It’s really worth listening this if you have a few spare minutes. Just incredible levels of incompetence, dishonesty and bullshit.

And that’s after she had a day hiding away to prepare for these interviews.

Some of the highlights -



The problem she’ll have is she doesn’t have the charisma or personality to make up for anything either.

Well said. I‘ve encountered plenty of Oxbridge graduates professionally who are deeply unimpressive intellectually.

I taught quite a few sixth-formers who went on to either Oxford or Cambridge.

What distinguished them all was an ability to think logically and laterally right there and then. And they were capable of spontaneous flourishes of originality both in their essays and in the arena of classroom debate.

They tended to be open-minded and empathic too, intellectually curious about ideas and theories that they did not necessarily identify with in any way.

Truss, of course, exhibits none of the above attributes.

It is possible for someone to be bright but so slavishly in thrall to a particular belief system that they are incapable of seeing the wood for the trees. So maybe that has something to do with it in her case, an inability to be comfortable with ambiguity.

But I really am struggling to comprehend how such a talentless, morally repellent mediocrity has got as far as she has.

Bewildering that they thought it might somehow be prudent to reward the already wealthy whilst jeopardising homeowners, the backbone of Conservatism.

and pensioners and the Brexiters in the red wall who "loaned" them their votes - it just shows the absolute arrogance of them and how out of touch with the real world they are. I suppose you ignore the electorate and listen to a few speculators and billionaires at your peril

It’s the Tory party.
 
Legal compliant you say…

‘OBR confirms on record my story from 9 days ago that it prepared a draft forecast for new Chancellor waiting for him on first day at Treasury 6th September, and that an offer for a legally compliant forecast to accompany the mini-budget was rejected’ @faisalislam

Treasury refuses to publish UK economic forecast

The UK's independent forecaster has provided an updated outlook for the economy, the BBC understands.

we said this all along - he hid this because it predicted a car crash. Guess what? He crashed the fucking car !!! Never saw that coming eh?
 
Laughing at the idea that the political instability cited as a reason for the market response was not inherent to the act of writing - and submitting - a snide electoral suicide note.

It makes sense if you discount that side of things? Tell the effing markets that!

Fuck me some people.
