Aye, Putin probably told Boris a while back that he was going to need a scapegoat foreign secretary. Only reason she got the job.
In the interests of accuracy, the photos on the aircraft carrier were taken in October during a non-wartime visit.
Fair play - wondered why I couldn't find them on her twitter feed over the weekend!
Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, Mr Peskov said: "Statements were made by various representatives at various levels on possible altercations or even collisions and clashes between Nato and Russia.
"We believe that such statements are absolutely unacceptable. I would not call the authors of these statements by name, although it was the British foreign minister."
So they're not naming anybody - but it was definitely her. 🙂
they’re thinking ‘how can we make things even worse for the UK?
The six number jackpot win was from the Ministry of Foreign Cyber Attacks helping Facebook* the referendum in favour of Getting Brexit Dumb.
Truss showing up later was the bonus ball.
* deliberate use as a verb.
"Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they blamed MC Grindah next."
Well he has been kurrupted.
A smarter UK politician would realise the position that not being in the EU puts us in in relation to this conflict and subsequently tread far more carefully.
+1 this
Words matter. Optics matters
There should be an absolute mouth-shut policy across all UK government, press, etc, with every single piece of comms going through scrutiny from people who actually know how to play strategy and battle on a global field
Who am I to say anything but I would bet it would be something like this that causes us to get levelled
I strongly believe that if the red button gets pressed it will be aimed at or near UK or something British.
"I strongly believe that if the red button gets pressed it will be aimed at or near UK or something British."
I bet the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier is on red alert. Not that I think it will, but should this conflict escalate to include engagement with NATO, then surely that ship is top of Putin's strike list, (he has made threats in that direction before I believe?).
If there were ever to be such a thing as a 'tactical nuclear deployment' then certainly an airfield in the middle of international waters would be the primary target?
Put it down to karma if Liz Truss is on deck when it happens.
The new buccaneering global Britain seems to mainly involve pissing people off.
Maybe something else influenced by Johnson's Russian connections.
Number one, the larch.

Hahah! Nicely done 🙂
Crikey, with everything going not Boris shaped, do we need to dust off this thread?
Budget making more sense now

Anyone surprised? Cocaine all over the HOC and now the ministers posh houses. Plus of course Kwarteng ckearly off his face at the funeral etc etc
Its an open secret that tory ministers and pms have been at the cocaine. I dont understand why the press does not go after them
I’d have placed Gove more as a mdma pill popper, George Osborne has the wide eyed/slack jawed look of a coke fiend though.

for the stw yahtzee is there any blue light action ?
Surely the mini-budget could only have been cooked up by someone on powerful hallucinogenics?
Speed balls and shrooms
I dont understand why the press does not go after them
The press are typically at the same parties. When it comes to cocaine their snout is very much in the same trough.
Finally something explains the not-so-mini-budget. They were all off their tits on the Peruvian Marching Powder.
WTAF.
Surprised to note that this thread took a 5 month hiatus, during which (a small part of, admittedly) Truss was PM.
There was a very extensive thread on "the mini budget".
The mini budget was the sum total of Liz Truss's premiership achievement.
She never got round to dealing with any other issues. She simply ran out of time.

Same.
I'm honestly flummoxed.
The coke I can deal with but this didn't even get opened whilst she was (albeit briefly) PM? Really?
I did open it, but I didn't see any posts from you so I closed it again.
Apparently her first external meeting as PM was with Rupert Murdoch. It’s just never ending.
She simply ran out of time.
That suggests that given more time she could have gone on to do great things... Hahaha!
When it comes to cocaine their snout is very much
on the same occasional table top or toilet cistern lid. FTFY
I think we can all agree that in this time of national crisis we need a strong and competent leader to return and steer us back onto the right course.
She was obviously not up to the job before - I can only assume she thinks that she can use ChatGPT to wing it.
Anyway, I'm ahead of her:
Please write a short speech that could be given by a British Prime Minister about the following policies:
- economic growth
- freedom
- lettuces.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great honor to stand here today to talk about the policies that will guide our country towards a brighter future. We must strive for economic growth, to ensure that our businesses are thriving and our citizens have access to good jobs and a strong standard of living.
At the same time, we must never compromise on our commitment to freedom. The United Kingdom has always been a beacon of liberty, and we must continue to defend the rights and freedoms of all our citizens. Whether it is the freedom to express ourselves, the freedom to worship as we choose, or the freedom to live our lives as we see fit, these principles are the foundation of our great nation.
And finally, let me say a few words about one of our most important exports: lettuces. I am proud to announce that our government will be investing in the latest technology and research to ensure that we continue to lead the world in the production of this vital crop. Not only does this provide a boost to our economy, but it also helps to ensure that people around the world have access to nutritious, healthy food.
In conclusion, let us strive together towards a brighter future, based on economic growth, freedom, and the production of the finest lettuces in the world. Thank you.
ChatGPT has nailed it.

Ot, sorry. It really wrote that? I've been breathing hearing chatter about it but not played much attention. Impressive and scary!
There is not enough air in my lungs for the amount of laughing I need to do at the thought of Liz Truss honestly thinking that she is up to the job. Deluded.
I just saw this headline and was a bit baffled. If she's not getting a cabinet job then presumably she's just going to be sat on the back benches. Is that a return to the frontline? Surely she's not going to start banging on about growing pies again.
We can all laugh at Truss… but I bet it’s champagne lunches whenever she meets up with the guys and girls back at Shell.
Aye, it's funny that I now associate shell with murder, pollution and employing Liz Truss and thinking they are all equally hideous business decisions.
Let's see if the tories can decry the profits...
This does set up the potential entertainment/nightmare of the next Tory leadership campaign being a run off between Johnson and Truss.
I noticed a couple of days ago several press sources hostile to the Tory Party suggesting that Liz Truss isn't yet finished politically. I don't know if it's designed to scare voters.
IMO Truss achieved the remarkable feat of destroying any credibility and Britannia Unchained agenda might have had in the eyes of some people in just 41 short days. I am not sure what there is left for her to do.
a run off between Johnson and Truss
Giving Tory members the choice between the only two Prime Ministers that they put in place with their votes since…? Ever? They didn’t vote for Major, May or Sunak anyway.
Charlie must be shitting himself given her record.
I work with some folk that have had dealings with Liz Truss previously, prior to becoming PM.
Without exception, the common theme is of a vile, entitled bully.
This gets to the nub of why I hate the current crop of tory tossers so much, epecially Johnson and Truss but also Raab, Shapps, Mogg etc etc Its not just that they screw up so badly as to make life palpably worse for the rest of us but that they think its absolutely fine to come back and have another go...and another till there is nothing left to break. There is so many similarities between this type of behaviour and that of serial killers - the complete inability to understand the consequences of their actions. I still can't believe there are people out there who can't see this and still vote for them.
They're not doing this in isolation. They are surrounded by fawning people, advisors and think tanks that rationalise and justify these policies and make up phrases for them. It is another world in which the likes of us don't really register apart from as periodic vehicles to keep them doing what they do and feeding their insatiable appetites for status, wealth and privilege.

That is probably because not many people see a similarity between Tory Party leaders and serial killers. Me included.
And if they weren't aware of the consequences of their actions they would never win elections, something which they unfortunately do with tedious regularity.
