Liz! Truss!

Please tell me she won’t qualify for the pm pension.

all of our problems i reckon.

It isnt though.
The problem is the fracturing on the right and systematic failures across the board which led to people voting for brexit.
Whilst rolling back brexit would solve quite a few things it would still have the underlying problems which led to it being considered as an option in the first place.

Brady was being called a lier by more than on jurno when he turned his back.

Should have gone last Friday with the chancellor. Having crashed the economy they should have both headed for the cliff.

Just for perspective, the BT pension fund lost £11bn of assets in the gilts chaos. That’s just one fund. And it is real money.

Brady just said members will be voting. I think we all know that’s not going to happen.

Dunno. They might just be careful in the choices they give them. I did think they could put Putin as the alternate but he would probably stand a good chance of winning given the electorate.

Whoever becomes the next PM by the sheer fact they want the gig, at the current time, means they are not fit for the job.

Fighting to be King of a bowl full of dust.

GONE!!!

You blamed Brexit further up the thread. Anyway, I’d better stop feeding the troll.

I blamed Brexit? Are you having a laugh?

I suggest you read all the threads that I have been saying about Brexit since Brexit. I have been consistent throughout and NEVER once blame Brexit.

Brexit, Covid-19 and Ukraine/Russia war are the contributing factors.

But if you read carefully you will realise that I mentioned about energy crisis. Brexit is NOT an energy crisis but a bureaucratic one (EU side).

Brexit is NOT an energy crisis but a bureaucratic one.

Actually it’s an existential crisis in the politics of this country. COVID was priced into the markets, Ukraine was priced into the markets, and so was the fallout for increased energy prices. What was not priced is two free-market right wing loons deciding a unilateral uncosted fiscal policy. That and that alone was enough for them to go. That they both got there by Brexit ideology (PM was a retainer remember) just defines the magnitude of the political challenge we face as a country.

Brexit, Covid-19 and Ukraine/Russia war are the contributing factors.

So you’re blaming Brexit, the Pandemic and Putin? I would as well, to a large degree… that plus the tools we charged with running the UK. But then I’m not one of these “Strong Leaders” you obsess over and claim don’t discharge blame away from themselves and towards others (when often that’s all they do).

Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been taken off air for a week by Channel 4 News after he was recorded using an offensive insult about a government minister.

Boris Johnson said to be considering running!

No, I am NOT blaming Brexit. That would be as silly as saying the energy crisis is not related to the Ukraine/Russia war. The sequence of contributing (accumulating) factors are all difficult events to handle but it is the energy crisis (called it crisis because the backup is limited) that brings the reality home.

Yes, most of the opposing views just refuse to accept that the Ukriane/Russia is the nail.

I say strong leaders because the current lot (all parties) do not have someone that can actually solve the problems. Mind you very good at blaming though.

Putin’s war is affecting every and all countries. What’s different about the UK…?

Was funny though

Can’t Truss It

Putin’s war is effecting every and all countries. What’s different about the UK…?

Yes, affecting many countries but it is here (on this STW forum) that we “debate” about it, while the government is in denial that the plan has backfired.

another casualty of all this I hope he gets back on the tv

I look forward to the normal right wing nuts shouting about cancel culture and snowflakes.

while the government is in denial that the plan has backfired

Which plan? Hang on.. why am I engaging… I’m stopping now.

Just shows we’re living in a post-truth world 🙄

Which plan? Hang on.. why am I engaging… I’m stopping now.

Sanctions on a country (Russia) that has a strong position in energy contribution. Take them out and the effect will be felt in a domino way.

Engaging? More like denial but that’s individual’s choice.

Let’s see if critics have a solution out.

Ah… back to your “Strong Leader” view of the world. “Don’t resist Putin…” you were more fun when you were all excited about Trump.

I have not changed my views though.
Let’s see if your transactional leader will solve the current energy crisis.

Christ, imagine this being how history will remember you.

For 100k/yr I could live with that 🙂

Brexit is NOT an energy crisis but a bureaucratic one (EU side).

The only bureaucratic problems have been caused solely by the UK’s decision to leave the Customs Union.

UK Ideological zeal has got us to here, nothing to do with the EU whatsoever.

Ethelred the Unready.

I know literally nothing about that king of old, other than the fact that he was surprised, possibly by a cake.

History will remember Truss in a similar light, I feel.

Temporary Truss?
Transient Truss?
Truss the Perfunctory?

Steve Baker has one of this personalities that perfectly encapsulates the word ****

if you saw him crossing the road it would be a public duty to run the **** over, then back up and hit him again.

BJ coming back as leader then being forced to resign the following week by the select Committee for lying to parliament is surely the next step in this farce isn’t it?

Ethelred the Unready was in power for 37 years!

That’s approximately 300 times longer than Temporary Truss

EDIT

Just been on a wiki dive. There are some disturbing parallels…

Ethelred the Unready was king
Deposed and sent into exile by an upstart who only lasted a few weeks
Came back from exile and returned to power

Crossover US/UK politics gag:

Liz Truss lasted 4.1 Scaramuccis

Temporary Truss?

An Acrow Prop then. 😁

@doris5000 Oh crap. Ethelred is Boris.

History will remember Truss in a similar light, I feel.

Who?

I said back when the final two went to the party members… when people of the future are asked to list the Prime Ministers of the UK, nearly everyone will forget to name her. Even fewer will if her name is supposed to be sandwiched between “Johnson” and “Johnson” (don’t think it will, but if it is, no one will remember her name… it’ll be an answer on Only Connect).

BJ coming back as leader then being forced to resign the following week by the select Committee for lying to parliament is surely the next step in this farce isn’t it?

Sounds about right!

She will look back on her days when she was burying the queen as her best days in office, it really was off the cliff edge after that.

Yet there’s sufficient racist bigoted unethical selfish Tory voters in the country to think it’s OK for the lying cheating deceitful bag of piish and shiite to come back.
He should have been hung, drawn, quartered and his balls ballsack put on a pike on tower bridge.

Temporary Truss?
An Acrow Prop then. 😁

I’m stealing that

Bye, bye @trussliz, congrats to lettuce
