Truss says she was a better Prime Minister than 3 x election winner Tony Blair. Also blames her failure on the “deep State” .

The woman is completely deluded - gets her nonsense from reading the Trumpton Chronical I suppose.

It really does take the fun out of things when Tory MP's bottle it. At least its cheaper for the public purse, if they lose their seat they get a redundancy settlement, if they resign they don't
Yeah. It's exactly the same as convicted criminals not returning to court to hear the judge pass sentence. I want to see them standing on the platforms when the results are announced, not see their places taken by a load of anonymous cannon fodder.

And back on Truss, if she does lose for sheer emotion for me I'm not sure it will eclipse the 'Portillo Moment'. I can still remember that huge feeling of utter elation that swept through me when his result was announced. We were hoping for a Labour victory, but I wasn't expecting a landslide and I never dreamed that one of the very worst senior Tories would lose their seat. I'm pretty sure if Truss goes she'll just be one of many 'names' to perish. - although if it happens it will still be a great moment!

In SW Norfolk it will definitely - an MP in a Tory stronghold for 14 years and a Government Minister for 5 of those including a 50 day bollixed up attempt at PM - we’ll be dancing in the street up here.

I doubt Reform would run against her, so it would need some form of tactical voting Labour, Lib Dem and Green to build an alliance to create anough swing votes to topple her

Reform have named a candidate ... As have The Heritage Party (who are, erm ... Interesting) https://heritageparty.org/
Another UKIP type party, yawn...

They may not vote for a self-declared Communist but she may remind people why it’s not a good idea to vote for Truss.




Just heard from my Labour Candidate - telephone canvassing to start next week - tomorrow evening we are stuffing 5,000 election leaflets into envelopes to be hand delivered.😳

I want Truss re-elected.

I want her in the shadow cabinet, then opposition benches, then on a stool facing into the corner.... for the next 20 f***ing years until she's the last f***ing Tory MP left, shouting at clouds.
If she is the last Tory MP left then she becomes leader again - which in her mind will make her "right" and even more insufferable.

I’m in a dilemma now. My choice of “Tory I most want to lose their seat” was always Jacob Rees-Mogg, but I now may have to reconsider.

I'm beginning to change my mind. I still think that for me it won't beat the 'Portillo Moment', but jeez it's going to run it close. If she loses it will definitely be the highlight of the night for me, I so want it to happen.

I would say that generally Truss political vision of lower taxes being the key for economic growth is correct. Her timing and her uncosted attempts to implmenent it were shambolic, and now she has gone full Trump tonto and is a compete joke parody politician with these conspiracy theories.

She was a terrible PM who caused huge damage

This sent me down a rabbit hole, trying to research what happened to Saxons who moved north. According to this messageboard, they assimilated into existing communities and called themselves something different, in a very British way.
So they all bought flat caps, whippets and racing pigeons?
