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

[Machiavelli]

This general air of schadenfreude is strange, and worrying.

Whether the Govt is Blue, Red, Yellow Green or a mix, I want them to succeed in order that my life, and that of my family and friends, is as comfortable as possible.

Wanting failure in order to stick two fingers up at the cost of personal suffering is most odd.

OK. Many have misunderstood you. Looking forward to you getting right behind the next government irrespective of its colour

 

[Machiavelli]

It'll be difficult to really stuff up the Home Counties. Some folk may have to get supermarket own hummus or buy a less chewy red unless their tax cut offsets the price rises. But let's see how popular she is in the Brexity red wall after another two years of inflation, debt and recession.

Unless, of course, Truss was simply saying what she thought the membership wanted to hear on the hustings and all that stuff about tax cuts was balderdash.

Shirley you mean 'levelling-up'?

Mrs KZN just said that Truss sounds like a primary school child trying to read a poem

It might just be a facial quirk or something but she looked unnervingly like she was trying to suppress a fit of the giggles

I now believe that Liz Truss is a Queen fan, or was on a challenge to get song titles into her speech with Action This Day.

The problem is that this goes to the very essence of people's politics in how we measure success. For me, a more equal society where we support those most in need is probably the most obvious barometer of success, if I am slightly worse off as a result then so be it. Success for yourself appears, on the face of it, to be more personal, more local to you. Success for the tories means them wining the next election by whichever means, they will not care if some are suffering, especially if they're unlikely to vote for them. So yeah, I wish them to fail because another 7 years of the bstards would be too painful to endure.

I always want anyone in an Albion shirt to succeed and never wanted Locadia, Agustein, Leon Best or Paddy McCourt to fail, but given the consistent and overwhelming evidence to the contrary, for me to still hope that they may come good one day could be considered a little foolish in certain circles

Me too. That should guarantee a complete failure and the Tories out for years to come.

I gave up listening to her speech when she just started rattling off a list of what everyone wants to see in the U.K.

Yes, dear. We all want those things. We have absolutely no faith in you to get anywhere near delivering them. With your half smirk, disastrous last choice cabinet, record of U-Turns and not being able to make decisions.

You’re shit. And you know you are.

Therese Coffee new Deputy PM.

fair do’s say what you like about the adult, but calling kids is beyond the pale… I despite the man, i despise what he represents and more so despise his politics, but his kids didn’t stand for election. If he decides that when old enough than fair enough, fill yer boots

I agree completely, but what sort of a parent would even think about wheeling their children out (and not for the first time) to make a political point and expose them to that sort of risk

and her expertise and qualifications are?.
looks like she should have been in the department for weights and measures

100% right, and further reasons why Dad should hold his head in shame

 

[lawros left foot]

I’ve found one!!!!!!

An honourable Tory MP.

A man putting his principles before his own advancement.

Wasn't he given the boot rather than resign?

Yeah, my mistake.


He did resign in April 2021 over Johnson’s continuous lies, but he became Veterans minister in July 2022 as part of the interim cabinet. Truss has now sacked him from that role.

Reading his letter though, he sounds like he could resign as an MP.
