Ignoring party politics, even 5-6 years ago the idea that someone of Truss's calibre would have been a candidate for PM was unthinkable. Politically we are in freefall.I thought it would be impossible for the Tories to install a worse Prime Minister than Johnson…..
I think we hit the bottom when Johnson took over. Now we're just digging a deeper hole.Ignoring party politics, even 5-6 years ago the idea that someone of Truss's calibre would have been a candidate for PM was unthinkable. Politically we are in freefall.
While I totally agree that Truss isn't PM material in a million years, if she gets in I doubt she'll have as much scandal following her around as Johnson did. In fact, I doubt anyone would. It was as much about that than his policies that did for Johnson IMO.I think we hit the bottom when Johnson took over. Now we're just digging a deeper hole.
Probably not, although she seems to have the same relationship with honesty, truth, integrity and reality as Johnson. She also has the same propensity for idiotic sound bites for simpletons / party members / right wing media to latch on to. No vision or understanding of what is required to do the job properly, and no long term strategy for anything at all.While I totally agree that Truss isn't PM material in a million years, if she gets in I doubt she'll have as much scandal following her around as Johnson did.

The Tories could've surely done better than have Truss getting through to the final two though. And whatever we might think of Sunak, he definitely comes off as far more competent than Truss.
No doubt. I don't know how the Tories get away from that approach now. Maybe if they get twatted at the next election, that could be the wake-up callProbably not, although she seems to have the same relationship with honesty, truth, integrity and reality as Johnson.

As much as I still have my doubts about Starmer, he really is going to be shooting fish in a barrel come election time. Truss is completely out of her depth or a one commentator said its like someone has dug up the stinking corpse of Thatcher and she is playing some bad ventriloquist act. The tories are in dire straits and the stench of Johnsonism is going to stink the place out for many years to come.Ignoring party politics, even 5-6 years ago the idea that someone of Truss's calibre would have been a candidate for PM was unthinkable.

With Truss the bar is exceptionally low.Christ she is cringeworthy. Kier gets a lot of stick but is appealing to me more and more. Professionalism & Integrity are two factors I never thought needed stating in a Prime Minister's requirements but after recent examples they are back on my requirements list.
