that's a bit of silly point to be fair
Who should be the next leader of the Tory party?

It's not though, is it. It's an indication of someone's instant reaction in a moment of shock and uncertainty.
It was a tv presenter fainting. What if there's a shooting or a bombing when she's giving a speech, etc?
What you want from a world leader is someone who can stay composed in a scenario like that.
That's my opinion anyway. And just one in a long list of reasons she is incapable and unqualified to do the job.
A job she's going to get easily of course, such is the Conservative party membership.

Oh I don’t know it was the most “human” thing I have seen from any of them at all.

Great piece by Robert Shrimsley in the FT. He's quite sarcastic and I was a bit non-plussed when I saw the headline but I think he nails it:
www.ft.com
It has often been said that Boris Johnson was the only person who could hold the current Tory coalition together, a view entrenched by the nasty contest to succeed him. A core reason for this, though, was his capacity for selling political doublethink, or as he put it, being “pro having cake and pro eating it”.
Conservatives may have tired of Johnson’s personal failings there is less evidence they have tired of cakeism. They want investment in public services and help with energy bills but lower taxation; sound money but also higher borrowing, deregulation with interventionism; Brexit and higher growth; housebuilding but just not where they live. Today’s Conservative party dislikes hard choices. And this is a problem for Rishi Sunak, because the former chancellor has decided to make facing up to them his key pitch to succeed Johnson. The cakeist candidate is Liz Truss and the foreign secretary and frontrunner is prepared to go full gateau if it gets her to the top.
Liz Truss is the right choice for this Conservative party
The foreign secretary is the continuity candidate, promising more of Johnson’s ‘cakeism’ and avoiding economic trade-offs

She reacted like 99% of people would have - shocked for a few seconds and then goes to help her
it's not every day you see a live presenter pass out in front of you
really don't see what she has done wrong here
Tory leadership debate between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss halted after presenter faints in studio
Liz Truss held her hands to her face and said "oh my God" - and then the broadcast was cut.
