[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Randy McNob]

she won 57% of the vote, the lowest EVER margin for an elected leader

If 57% is a slim margin I wonder what you call 52%?

 

[pb21]

I just heard her speech:

"... I will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's bills... and I will deliver on the NHS."

Its a load of nonsense.

I wonder how many of the racist coffin dodgers in the Tory party membership who voted for her, croaked before she became PM.
(probably a lot less than if the ballot was held this winter mind!)

She's a terrible speaker, but so were May and Johnson so it doesn't seem to matter in the Conservative party

Mind you, among party leaders in my lifetime, Foot was the best orator and the worst leader, so there's no correlation whatever the party

Well, it's not just how she delivers her speeches, which is very awkward, it's what she says, she needs a new speechwriter ASAP. Thought Johnson was good at speaking TBH, part of the reason lot's of people like him I think.

 

[Wozza]

Precisely 4 seconds after being announced as the new conservative leader the knives are out. To her credit the first thing that she did was to applaud and big up Rishi Sunak in her speech.

Nope! First thing she did was walk to the stage, ignoring him as she went.

Quite a few parallels between Johnson and Truss, both don't use their real name and both lack integrity in pivoting toward whatever satisfies their personal ambition.

Whether Truss is as anti-democratic and Trumpesque as Johnson, time will tell

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Worth highlighting that in her acceptance speech, Liz indicated that she'll win the next election in 2024. So we've got at least 20 months of her as PM.

There rumours in some papers a couple of days ago that if she won some Tories were planning a vote of no confidence by the end of the year. Welcome to 20 months of broken, sorry, no government.

Finally, a silver lining

As a wise man once said to me 'to get what you want, you may have to do a deal with the devil'.

Only 20 months left to run on that deal then

"I will be A N Other Murdoch puppet to keep Britain a plutocracy, to serve the interests of the wealthy at the expense of the poorest"

"....and It doesn't matter how poor they get - they'll still vote for me"

My thoughts too, it was RA RA waffle and delivered with zero charisma

I am not expecting she’ll be anything other than out of her depth with the challenges she faces

In fact I can’t think of a single current politician who would be able to deliver anything other than a continuing cluster ****

Depressing

You wouldn't be trying to claim that this isn't what you were voting for

Weird, why resign when you know there is at least a reshuffle coming.

 

[lawros left foot]

I’ve just heard the new cabinet referred to on BBC News as Team Truss.

Can we just call them Jock Strap?


Pritti Patel resigned with the express understanding that she will be allowed to continue bullying migrants in her own time.

They always have Braverman on the bench to step in and fill the role of right wing narcissist
