Literally sleeping her way into power.
Really? Liz ‘Madder than a basket full of Stoats’ Truss…. really?
Maybe it was for the sex?
Wallace won't be the first Tory MP that Truss has had an extramarital affair with, Mark Field has also been there. Maybe the word has gone around the Parliamentary Conservative Party that Truss is good in the sack?
Everyone is good at something.
That's very charitable of you to say that
And I assumed she was nobbing the Dark Destroyer, maybe right maybe wrong.
Nigel Benn ?
Wow I used to think he was alright
Maybe the word has gone around the Parliamentary Conservative Party that Truss is good in the sack?
She did do a good job of screwing the country.
Truss good in the sack?
Maybe, but you'd need to be 'in the mood' first and, well, honestly... how could anyone...?
But then Wallace is no oil painting either. Must've been a desperate night at the Commons disco.
Urgh. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Let's just hope it damages their careers and their lives and leave it at that.
Am I the only one who has a sense of woe whenever this thread gets an update?
“WTF has she said it done now?”
Alpin could have read my mind on this and its been proved spot on 🤢

I get the impression that some people are repulsed by Liz Truss's politics, her physical appearance, if it is important, is pretty average imo.
For Tory politicians such as Ben Wallace and Mark Field Truss's politics obviously isn't going to be a problem. She probably screams in moments of intimacy how big she wants her tax cuts, education budget slashed, and other durty tory talk.

Nah, I reckon Wallace was just thinking about Penny Mordaunt.

Being a Tory MP just seems to be one long taxpayer funded swinger's party where you get to have several affairs and then get given honours at the end of it all.

So it might have just been bad luck that Thick Lizzy whipped Wallace's car keys out of the bowl?
That makes more sense, TBH.
I didnt realise he’d been banging the lettuce herself!
I was told this by a national newspaper journo when she was elected. There was another senior politician she'd been having it off with, as well as at least one Spad.
Back doors have also been mentioned. Sorry if that's TMI.
Let’s just hope it damages their careers
More than being the shortest-lived PM in history and piloting the economy into a mountainside? Maybe.
😀
It would seem revolving doors are apt given she has had much publicised previous shenanigans.
I feel sorry for the family. Imagine being her daughter knowing that a) she's an idiot savant (without the savant bit), b) she screwed the economy and millions of people will suffer for years, c) she has zero self awareness and d) she's a dirty dog
Using her as bio-fuel is the only future I'd find palatable.

back doors
Pork Markets and Hedge Funds, da da dee dee dee these are a few of my favourite things...
Imagine being her daughter...
Imagine being her dad.

It was a disappointing night in, after Ben Wallace joined the anti growth coalition

Good work!
45 days in office gives her the right to receive £115,000 yearly allowance, for the rest of her life.
Which is a rule introduced by John Major, a former Tory prime minister who is surprisingly popular with some on here.
Before John Major introduced the rule former PMs got sweet FA when they left office.
They get a terrific pension.
Alpin could have read my mind on this and its been proved spot on 🤢
Honestly, I'm surprised that she's a serial tory shagger.
Think I've only ever knowingly slept with one tory type, but then I'm working class scum.
Few surprises in Liz’s Lords stuffing list…
The nominated life peers are reported to include Sir Jon Moynihan, a Conservative party donor, Matthew Elliott, who ran the Brexit campaign in 2016, and Ruth Porter, Truss’s deputy chief of staff in No 10.
Another life peer is understood to be Mark Littlewood, the outgoing head of the Institute of Economic Affairs, a thinktank that had supported her mini-budget.
The only surprising thing is the claim that there are those within the Tory ranks in possession of an embarrassment threshold?
Certainly not something that ever troubled Lizzy
well that's depressed me Kelvin,
One source told the newspaper they felt it would be “humiliating” to receive an honour from Truss
A taste of your medicine and all that. I'd smile at the irony of Kwasi Kwarteng admitting his tracker mortgage has risen, if it wasn't for the vast earnings that make it a slight inconvenience for him.
Cant believe she left off Dorris!
Are these just proposed or actually going through 😳
I see the absolute lunatic is still maintain that none of the chaos was her fault.
Surely someone needs to put her somewhere safe and soundproof for her own sake
They played her speech on Five Live as she made it.
It was the unhinged ramblings of an absolute madwoman. She is completely and utterly hatstand
She's still totally unapologetic, completely unrepentant and still maintaining that she was absolutely right about everything all along. Apparently (surprise surprise!) its everybody else's fault, not hers... the Bank of England, Civil Servants, the 'financial orthodoxy', lefties, the unions, the media, The BBC (obviously) etc, etc etc...
She's living in some kind of alternative universe.
I bet Rishi is really thanking her for her contribution, which include this deluge on Twitter, which I'm sure the labour party will be retweeting. Its like she wasn't part of any of this and its nothing to do with her at all.
Madder than a bucket of spiders...

If Liz Truss is the last gasp of the Tufton St neo-liberals then we can probably sleep easy at night. It really is amazing that every time the small state/low tax/pro-rich system fails, the likes of Truss come out and say 'that's because we didn't go far enough'. It's even more amazing that some people still believe them.
I pay a marginal tax rate of 100% on the proportion of my earnings that is deducted for tax.
I really really really wish just once interviewers and commentators would laugh in the face of any idiot using the fantasy term "marginal tax rate". As mad as the lettuce is, such concepts are allowed to become the real orthodoxy by a compliant media.
Her brain is like the contents of a bin lorry.
Rancid juice that spills out of a large opening.

I don't get it, isn't "marginal tax rate" a perfectly reasonable measure to use to describe progressive tax rates as income increases?
Can we have the lettuce back to see what it thinks? It's probably got more of an idea than she has.
Its mad how someones perception of themselves is so completely different from how the world perceives them, isn't it?
Everyone looks at Liz Truss and just thinks of the lettuce and sees her as nothing more than an object of ridicule and contempt, but for some reason she sees herself as some international stateswoman who everyone is waiting to hear words of wisdom from
Has there ever been a more delusional politician?
The rumour is that the dark money behind Tufton street is very unhappy that her libertarian, supply side economics has been shown up to for what it is by her disastrous budget, and that unless she continues to make these speeches, she ain't getting any more donations.

Unfortunately they don't. Parts of the right wing press are pushing the "unfairly done to" story pretty hard and some people are lapping it up because it's coming from The Telegraph.
Every time she comes up with a new plan all I can think of is this:
We can't possibly do that Mr Flibbles. Who'd clean up the mess...

Indeed. I'm sure that this ultra-free-market nonsense will play very well with the swivel-eyed loons on the Tory Backbenches, who despite largely keeping it to themselves since her 49 day debacle still agree with every word she says.
They love a good conspiracy theory so I'm sure her blaming of everyone else but herself in her 'anti-growth coalition' twoddle is also something they agree with
I’m sure that this ultra-free-market nonsense will play very well with the swivel-eyed loons on the Tory Backbenches,
Its the same goons trying over & over to rehabilitate their small state , no tax, f-k the poor, trickle down nonsense , these Tufton st clowns have a lot of support from the RW press to
Rehabilitating Truss's image is doomed to failure, but you can bet she will keep on trying.

Well yes.
You only need to look at the mail and telegraph on the day of the budget. Full of praise for the daring leadership and true tory budget.
Followed by some worried silence.
Then a reverse ferret.
Then the attempt to rebuild based around the idea being sound but just the execution being slightly wrong.
All the Truss existence does is help other less confused right-wingers carry out the exact same plan - but with softer edges. There is no other plan other than expectations of growth and trickle-down.
The likes of Peter Bone and Bill Cash and the Hyacinth Buckets of the Tory “grass roots” adore her and help fuel The Truss narrative. Dangerous bunch of bigots.
