Thanks for clearing that up it all makes sense now, here was me thinking this was double standards.

She might well go for a GE this year. The Tories are very, very good at making a ‘new’ leader look like a fresh start and the optics are only going to get much worse over the next 2 and a bit years.I have decided truss is a mix of thatcher and robot priti , a true nasty tory set to lead them back into the very nastiest they have ever been in their history x ten, and us poor sods cant vote for two plus years to get her out

i think it is time to stop viewing starmer as boring , now boris has gone both sides will be more serious characters , nothing to seperate them personality wise , i hope starmer can put over some good initatives and policies but even then the rabid brexiters and racists in the nasty party will win out , at the end of the day the brexiters wont here a word against it and tge others , well..She might well go for a GE this year.

She might not act the buffoon deliberately like her predecessor but her buffoonery will be there on display every time she opens her mouth nonetheless.

Truss wants to:
- exploit North Sea gas fully
- stop green levy (okay, this would save a little money, but only if it is actually passed on, so... nope)
- stop planting of solar panels by farmers (Sunak agrees with this)
- faster expansion of nuclear reactors (more than 1/year for 8 years? Good luck with that)
- local modular nuclear reactors. Um, these don't exist at the moment
- fracking is good "if the local community supports it" - "localised earthquake with your frack, guv?"
Best get the suntan stocks in, 'cos we're going burn. Any govt minister related to COP26 shoul dbe resigning on principle if this becomes policy.

Truss:
need to prevent people traffickers from bringing people across the channel by expanding the Rwanda policy to other countries (not sure what this means really - more nationalities to be sent away, or more countries to be paid to have people sent to them - is this some kind of weird colonialism idea?). Oh, and whine about the ECHR, of course.
It doesn't make any difference to the traffickers, of course. It does to the trafficked, but that's a mere detail.

Starter for Ten: Who said this today?
“The fact is there are too many people in this country who are ashamed of our history, who talk our country down, who say the best days are behind us. They are completely wrong. I’m afraid one of them is Mark Drakeford.”
[REDACTED] vowed to “crack down on his negativity about Wales and about the United Kingdom” as Prime Minister, adding of the Labour politician: “With delivering for people on the ground, with making a real difference to people’s lives, we will be able to take on the plastic patriot Sir Keir Starmer and we’ll be able to take on the low energy version of Jeremy Corbyn that is Mark Drakeford.”

Does anyone go for re-election when wages have been stagnant for 12 years public services also - people will be struggling just to live Brexit is a failure/not done and Covid will be rearing up again come autumn and the flu season - oh and various investigations - Grenfell - Covid - will be highlighting Tory failures. Its a great ticket to run on I suppose " vote for us and by default me Liz who has been in the Cabinets that brought that shit to you since 2014 - oh and Corbyn"................
