    Astonishing, ‘too thick to know your own limitations’ exemplified. ‘I couldn’t in all conscience let that happen’, it kin happened, and now she wants back in the fray! Just confirms how hard-bitten, vacuous and amoral these R soles are and how desperate they are to ride on the shirttails of the very rich and to be photographed.

    Liz Truss blamed a Left-wing economic establishment and her own Conservative Party for her downfall in a 4,000-word essay for The Telegraph on Saturday.

    This created a strong debate among readers, with the majority coming out in support of the former prime minister. They suggested she had been the victim of a coup by her own party, which readers argue has been hijacked by Left-wing politicians.

    Thank you to the Telegraph.

    Can anyone keep tabs on the number of delusional ‘betrayal’ narratives presently doing the rounds amongst Tory MPs?

    These bloody all-powerful lefties who are apparently running the country have betrayed Brexit and now they’re brought down not only Boris but Liz too.

    The bastards!

    I just love the idea that the present Tory party (just this side of neo-fascist) is a secret left-wing movement.

    I’m not sure why Labour are too concerned with parliament really.

    If some left wing Illuminati are now in control of the financial markets and the Tory party itself surely it’s job done?

    Perhaps Sunakered is right to be blaming Corbyn! Is be the mastermind behind the Tory party now, pulling the strings of power!?

    Oh but if we could push this narrative… Next election comes around, why would you vote for a tory party that’s been overtaken by the lefties? No point in voting at all, they’re both basically the same party…

    Dear god! This interview is just unhinged. She appears to living in some kind of alternative universe

    Apparently it was pure coincidence that the markets went into meltdown just after she and Kamikwasi announced 45 billion in unfunded tax cuts

    Has she been smoking crack? The woman is absolutely insane!

    Is it possible the Tories encouraged Truss to do this? Takes the heat off Sunak for a couple of days.

    I’ve had sleepless nights over the years, to be honest, over small mistakes I’ve made in life that have negatively affected others.

    Truss? Makes life harder for countless mortgage payers and those trending, draws criticism from world leaders and internationally recognised financial institutions, then goes on to say, “meh, they are too stupid to see my genius.”

    How can anytime be that lacking in contrition, it’s both scary and incredible.

    It was Kwasi Kwarteng who made the mistakes, not Liz Truss:

    That is a weird suggestion . I have little doubt that Liz Truss is nowhere as dim as she appears to be. She comes across as particularly dim imo. She is hardly likely to be dimmer than that.

    I look forward to more staggeringly ill-judged and deluded interventions from wacky liz. It’s this lack of self awareness and contrition that will alienate more voters and remind them of the utter shambles of this parliament. Hopefully she’ll campaign on her own manifesto come election time where she says the opposite of everything rish! says.

    Where’s Spitting Image when you need it. They’d have struggled with mad Lizzie though, just couldn’t model that level of libertarian obsession.

    Trouble is spitting image is just like watching the news.
    So far down the rabbit hole,gone have you.

    she’s truely unhinged thou….more like she’s in a cult.

    I doubt she’s dim thou, managed to weedle herself into a good job and made more than most of us ever will and ended up as fleetingly being the PM.

    A very successful female role model even but then you just go ‘how?’ as there appears to be none of the characteristics you’d expect of someone who’s in the position she reached.

    I think she’s an absolute nailed on certainty for what the far left of the Dunning-Kruger graph looks like!

    Wildly overconfident in her own knowledge and abilities. Even the lettuce that outlasted her as PM probably has more situational awareness than her!

    And anyway, it’s only the utter thickos that are left in Government. Boris purged anyone with half a brain and anyone who didn’t believe in Brexit so by definition, there’s no-one intelligent left. They’re clinging desperately to ideology now, it’s all the Tories have left. And Truss amply demonstrated what happens when Tory ideology meets reality:

    And if any more proof were needed of that then just look at the Tory MP’s who are quite happy to parrot the Truss line that unfunded tax cuts were the right idea, its just those pinko’s in the ‘left-wing economic orthodoxy/the lefty media/the lefty civil service/Lefty Tory MPs’ who conspired to foil their hero and her genius masterplan. There was one of them on Radio 4 this morning and they actually believe this rubbish

    Unhinged doesn’t even begin to describe it, but post-brexit and after Boris’s purges these headbangers own the Tory party.

    Does anyone honestly think that Rishi won’t be deposed in May?

    He’ll be gone once the local election results come in and they’ll appoint another ERG loony tune even madder than Lizzie. Either Braverman or Badenoch

    I think the current Tory party just exposes the reality that opportunity, contacts and luck are far more important for success* than hard work and intelligence. IMO this has probably always been the case, it seems to be widely believed that “new media” has created the problem (in politics), I suspect it has exposed it more than it has caused it.

    *when the measure of success is wealth and power.

    Truss got to PM because she understood how to manipulate the system the tories have for selecting a leader and thus said all the right things to get the support of the membership.  She was always going to win if she could get to the ballot of the members.

    It’s a mistake to conflate having a degree with ‘intelligence’, or intelligence with political sophistication eg Kwarteng gained a PhD from Cambridge, Truss got into Merton and Mick Lynch left school at 16.

    I see Mrs Self-awareness is today going to deliver a speech to some assembled right wing loons in the US. After 13 years of Tory misrule, including her own epic car crash, she’s going to blame ‘woke culture’ for the UK’s financial woes.

    Righto Liz…

    She’s never going to be near a position of power ever again, though. She has got a massive majority so unless she steps down she’s not going away.

    Liz Truss is set to deliver a speech blaming ‘woke culture’ for high taxes

    The full ITV article points out precisely why Liz Truss is such an authoritative figure on the subject of taxation:

    “Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister lasted in No. 10 for just six weeks, after a disastrous mini-budget featuring £45 billion of unfunded tax cuts led to economic turmoil.”

    Well I Spent part of my bank holiday weekend locking in a new mortgage “deal” come August we get to pay the bank an extra £300, and we’re the lucky ones…

    Hiked interest rates feel like a bit of a Tory tax rather than the fault of “the wokes”. personally I’m quite impressed with the Wokes especially as they don’t have a party, aren’t in power and yet (according to Liz) have managed to increase taxation.

    Cheers for the input Madame pork markets now kindly **** off and hide again. It’s far too early for your rehabilitation, certainly a speaking tour.
    The sheer weight of shame should keep her quiet for another year at least…
