Not so much sty, there’s a rich IFA who certainly brings home the bacon.

Yes and I tend to look at things tactically. They've lurched to a place the electorate doesn't want them. It's a huge mistake by her and all that surrounds her.
Now is the time to deal with the aftershock of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Not to be ideologically extreme, especially as the opposition in that respect is your own party and it's 12 years in power.
Can't see her surviving unless the party has already decided it wants a period in opposition to fix itself.

If it was Labour they'd hang onto Truss, wait till the election and get nuked.
I can't see the Tories hanging onto her, they will change the rules and find a way to get the leader in that the Tory MP's want.
Problem they have is Truss and Kamikwasi have done their damage, its a long way back for them.

More than ably abetted by the complete incompetence and dishonesty of bungle**** for the last 2 and a half years, and the people who gave this cabal an 80 seat majority. I don't think they should take all the credit, this was certainly a team effort

Thick Lizzy's government rules out solar farms on all agricultural land grades 1 - 5.
Reminder of what grade 5 is...
Land with very severe limitations that restrict use to permanent pasture or rough grazing, except for occasional pioneer forage crops

I'm a bit late to the pig pun party.
But talking of pigs, after her announcement at one conference that she was off to Beijing to open up new pork markets, it all went quiet.
It begs the question, how many pigs did we actually sell to China as a result of Liz's trade mission?
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the number was zero. None at all.

The problem for the Tories is they have lurched heavily to the right. Remember, before the last election Johnson purged any remainers which included some long standing and (despite being tory) respected MPs.

Well, at least the barristers' strike has ended. They graciously accepted a FIFTEEN per cent pay rise. FIFTEEN bloody percent - the greedy ********.
Meantime nurses are having to be balloted because they have been offered a derisory 4%.
"A junior barrister who has less than three years experience can expect to earn on average a salary of £40,300 per year."
https://www.nationalworld.com/news/...criminal-junior-barristers-why-strike-3746521
"This pay award means that a newly qualified Nurse at the start of Band 5 will now earn £27,055 a year"
https://www.nurses.co.uk/blog/nhs-nurses-1400-pay-rise-2022/
I hope the nurses learn from the barristers success. You come out and stay out.
