Well done that woman. Nothing works in this country. As I keep saying, the Tories are turning this country into a stinking latrine.
You seem to miss the point that Labour in Wales has been in power longer than the conservatives and ambulance services here are just as appalling
You miss the point that your point is essentially a non-sequitur.
Surely it implies that something other than political choices might be at play? I.e. covid stress on hospitals?
The criticism is that “nothing works”. That’s entirely on the government of 12 years, much of which was spent delivering austerity aka failing to mend the roof.
What Labour in Wales is doing (I am no fan) is really neither here nor there.
At core, I am merely highlighting again BigG’s incessant Tory apologism.
If Wales did not have the SAME issues the criticism would be fair.
Nothing works in Wales either, but they don’t work for different reasons.
And they are?
The Welsh are fundamentally lazy and thick.
Never mind them, look at the French

That is straightforward racism and you should be banned.
Are the Welsh a race?
Racist invective is offensive if it is targeted against other groups of people –- particularly those who have a protected characteristic for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010.
Which bit do you regard as lunacy? Genuinely? Macron has Frances interests at heart. If that means stuffing the U.K. then so be it. Truss is welcome to rate Johnson higher than Sunak if she wants. And as for energy bills no one really knows the answer do they?
On the last point, the answer certainly involves central government bunging money at it. That really is obvious to anyone who lives in the real world, as otherwise bills will go unpaid through a mix of can't pay and won't pay, and then even more suppliers will go bust. The exact mechanism is up for debate, but Truss is in silly denial over whether the govt needs to fund it. She will u-turn well before halloween.
I expect an announcement within days of her taking office otherwise it is all over before it starts for her
But then why say the opposite again today? Yes she may well u-turn almost as soon as in office, but saying one thing this week and the opposite next week, when there really is no need to, are indeed the actions of an utter loon as PM.
She has consistently played her cards close to her chest on this subject and I can understand why
I expect something quite dramatic to happen in the first week of September that will confound her critics but if not, then it is over for her

I wonder how the PB Tory massive would reach if Macron said that Truss (or even Johnson) was yet to be proven as an non-foe.
We’re at risk of heading back into a Brexity “bomb Paris” phase, which never really worked that well.
Macron explicitly said that not proceeding with the NIP legislation was a condition to remain friends with the UK.
Fair enough, since it’s a breach of the agreement we made two years ago.
Given that Truss sees the issue differently then you should agree that her position is equally valid.
No, because she’s simply wrong as a matter of (international) law, and foolish as a matter of diplomacy.
She's entirely right as a matter of (domestic) law, and quite right on the matter of diplomacy.
Diplomatically, while the EU is divided by a real war on its Eastern flank, that we're doing more than Macron to address, the EU has no chance of initiating a trade war with us. Resolve this issue while the iron's hot.

It is not going to confound anyone because the response is inevitable. The questions are merely when she will do it and how overly convoluted and inefficient she can make it.
Repeating several times a week she is not going to give support is not keeping her cards close to her chest but living in a fantasy world that will unnecessarily scare millions of lower income households.
Attacking the EU in a desperate attempt to deflect from the upcoming economic implosion is so last year and you really need to have the IQ of a fruit fly to fall for it !

Never mind any of this shit, i've just had to evict the biggest spider ive ever seen. Fucking thing might as well have been Shelob. Nothing gets that big without committing atrocities. If it gets back in....... Pray for me tonight peebee.
You havn’t gone and upset it 🫢
Don’t answer the doorbell. I did once in the middle of Emmerdale. Sat on the mat was the snail I had thrown over the back fence the week before. I picked it up and it shouted WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!
It took a dead arse jug to remove it. I swear it would have justified a bucket. It was pursuing a smaller spider. I also evicted him. As a sacrifice.
That was her husband.
And now he is her supper
Unless all she was after was a bit of a cuddle, so to speak.
I saw it on a David Attenborough programme. The Female Globe Spider. There she is down in South Africa about 4 times bigger than Shelob you turfed out tonight. And there he is! About the size of your little finger nail when up on 8 legs. And he’s got to go right up to her, and ask her out.

No she equivocates because she is telling her audience what they want to hear. When she has their votes she will ditch that for what the next audience what to hear. Exactly the same nonsense as we had from Bozo and results in chaotic and inefficient government. The irony is that Thatcher, who she seems to base herself on, would have absolutely hated this unserious approach.

You miss the point that your point is essentially a non-sequitur.
Surely it implies that something other than political choices might be at play? I.e. covid stress on hospitals?
The criticism is that “nothing works”. That’s entirely on the government of 12 years, much of which was spent delivering austerity aka failing to mend the roof.
What Labour in Wales is doing (I am no fan) is really neither here nor there.
At core, I am merely highlighting again BigG’s incessant Tory apologism.
If Wales did not have the SAME issues the criticism would be fair.
Nothing works in Wales either, but they don’t work for different reasons.
And they are?
The Welsh are fundamentally lazy and thick.
That is straightforward racism and you should be banned.
Yeah, but if we ban TSE for racism, then we'd have to ban @Leon too. And where would it end? Would we start banning posters for their laughably lazy tropes about Remainer skiiers?
I don't think being a Remainer or being a skiier is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act. That is the difference.
I don't know. A belief in Scottish independence is certainly protected (it saved a SNP member from being sacked by MoD just for that). So a belief in European interdependence might well count.
Skiers, not so much, unless they founded a new pagan religion of snow mountain worship.
Please avoid the word 'religion' for tonight at least, after last night's interminable arguments over the bible
But apparently paganism isn't a religion anyway, you know who said it wasn't.
(OK, will not mention it again. I had completely forgotten.)
Right: start again: Skiers, not so much, unless they formulate a new philosophical belief in the political independence of the high mountains.

Racism can manifest itself as a belief in racial inferiority or racial superiority.
A statement that the Welsh are fundamentally lazy and thick is very clearly racist. As would be a statement that the English or Irish are fundamentally lazy and thick.

Which bit do you regard as lunacy? Genuinely? Macron has Frances interests at heart. If that means stuffing the U.K. then so be it. Truss is welcome to rate Johnson higher than Sunak if she wants. And as for energy bills no one really knows the answer do they?
On the last point, the answer certainly involves central government bunging money at it. That really is obvious to anyone who lives in the real world, as otherwise bills will go unpaid through a mix of can't pay and won't pay, and then even more suppliers will go bust. The exact mechanism is up for debate, but Truss is in silly denial over whether the govt needs to fund it. She will u-turn well before halloween.
I expect an announcement within days of her taking office otherwise it is all over before it starts for her
But then why say the opposite again today? Yes she may well u-turn almost as soon as in office, but saying one thing this week and the opposite next week, when there really is no need to, are indeed the actions of an utter loon as PM.
She has consistently played her cards close to her chest on this subject and I can understand why
I expect something quite dramatic to happen in the first week of September that will confound her critics but if not, then it is over for her
Re your last para I agree. I don't know why, it is just a gut feeling and I have no idea what. But if not then what?
Having just read what I typed it makes sense but looks weird. It feels like I have used up my quota of the word 'what'.

I expect something quite dramatic to happen in the first week of September that will confound her critics but if not, then it is over for her
It is not going to confound anyone because the response is inevitable. The questions are merely when she will do it and how overly convoluted and inefficient she can make it.
Repeating several times a week she is not going to give support is not keeping her cards close to her chest but living in a fantasy world that will unnecessarily scare millions of lower income households.
Can you please quote her ever actually saying she's not going to give any support? Word for word saying that, without equivocation?
“But the way I would do things is in a Conservative way of lowering the tax burden, not giving out handouts.”
What more do you want? I mean, it's not actually possible to quote Hitler ever actually saying he was going to murder millions of Jews either, but it's pretty easy to get his drift
It's interesting the way she totally ignores the interviewer and addresses the audience for applause. It treats them as direct participants, rather than faces in the dark. Useful when addressing your electorate.
It's not just the look any more. She's gone full on Janet Brown.

I wonder how the PB Tory massive would reach if Macron said that Truss (or even Johnson) was yet to be proven as an non-foe.
We’re at risk of heading back into a Brexity “bomb Paris” phase, which never really worked that well.
Macron explicitly said that not proceeding with the NIP legislation was a condition to remain friends with the UK.
Fair enough, since it’s a breach of the agreement we made two years ago.
Given that Truss sees the issue differently then you should agree that her position is equally valid.
No, because she’s simply wrong as a matter of (international) law, and foolish as a matter of diplomacy.
She's entirely right as a matter of (domestic) law, and quite right on the matter of diplomacy.
Diplomatically, while the EU is divided by a real war on its Eastern flank, that we're doing more than Macron to address, the EU has no chance of initiating a trade war with us. Resolve this issue while the iron's hot.
Also known as “we have all the cards”.
We always did, so long as we were willing to play them.
That's why when we weren't willing to do so, Barnier walked all over us, but once we were we stitched them up like kippers on the TCA.
In the real world, even arch Brexiters like Allistet Heath concede something has gone wrong.
You have no acquaintance with reality I’m afraid.
Heath is paid to write that things are wrong and what to do about it. Things are going OK isn't clickbait.
Things are going OK also stretches even the most credulous too.

Of course the greatest example of a Republican from a humble background is Abraham Lincoln. He had just a few years of formal education, but taught himself to be, first, a surveyor, and then a very successful lawyer.
(He was, I have read, embarrassed to have that background used in the 1860 presidential campaign, for instance, when supporters called him a "rail splitter". But it worked.)
The humble background works for Republicans because it helps protect them against charges they favor the rich. Though George W. Bush came from wealth, he was careful not to emphasize that. I am told, for example, that during his time managing the Texas Rangers, he often would sit in the cheap seats so he could talk to ordinary fans, and find out what they thought of the team.
Democratic candidates, as most of you know, are assumed to be working for the poor and middle class, so being wealthy seldom hurts them.

Never mind any of this shit, i've just had to evict the biggest spider ive ever seen. Fucking thing might as well have been Shelob. Nothing gets that big without committing atrocities. If it gets back in....... Pray for me tonight peebee.
You havn’t gone and upset it 🫢
Don’t answer the doorbell. I did once in the middle of Emmerdale. Sat on the mat was the snail I had thrown over the back fence the week before. I picked it up and it shouted WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!
It took a dead arse jug to remove it. I swear it would have justified a bucket. It was pursuing a smaller spider. I also evicted him. As a sacrifice.
That was her husband.
And now he is her supper
Unless all she was after was a bit of a cuddle, so to speak.
I saw it on a David Attenborough programme. The Female Globe Spider. There she is down in South Africa about 4 times bigger than Shelob you turfed out tonight. And there he is! About the size of your little finger nail when up on 8 legs. And he’s got to go right up to her, and ask her out.
That’s why nature has made all Manspiders “leg men”.
Nature is cruelty
Not so according to Timmy Lea from confessions of a manspider point of view - corrrrr look at the legs on that. I’ll be running up and down them all night till on my back and ready for breakfast.

Surely no questions have been raised about Truss' judgement. The quality of her judgement has been pretty clear since the start.
She passionately holds a view right up until the moment she is passionately against it.

What you need is a cat. If you have never seen a cat dealing with a September spider you have missed an experience. Chewing away, puzzled look on its face - "I - assume - I was supposed to do this, but I'm honestly not finding it as rewarding as I anticipated".
I put two whoopers out yesterday and our dog ate them before they could get away, although one put up a sterling effort to escape. He also eats wasps and never seems to come to any harm.
Right you all need to send your furries to me. Im conscripting furry friends to deal with what im increasingly inclined to believe are Macron voting French giant spiders
Of course the greatest example of a Republican from a humble background is Abraham Lincoln. He had just a few years of formal education, but taught himself to be, first, a surveyor, and then a very successful lawyer.
(He was, I have read, embarrassed to have that background used in the 1860 presidential campaign, for instance, when supporters called him a "rail splitter". But it worked.)
The humble background works for Republicans because it helps protect them against charges they favor the rich. Though George W. Bush came from wealth, he was careful not to emphasize that. I am told, for example, that during his time managing the Texas Rangers, he often would sit in the cheap seats so he could talk to ordinary fans, and find out what they thought of the team.
Democratic candidates, as most of you know, are assumed to be working for the poor and middle class, so being wealthy seldom hurts them.
Hang on. He wasn't the manager. He owned 1.8% of the team borrowed from a bank he used to be a director of. He didn't pick the team.
Macron is pro UK but anti recent Tory governments who have done nothing but peddle anti EU rhetoric .
Only when the UK was in the EU
Macron more than any EU leader has taken away his toys and is in a never ending sulk
Macron awarded London France’s highest honour a few years ago and also gave a wonderful tribute to the Queen for the jubilee. Macron has no time for liars and hate peddlers and that’s why he’s been anti Bozo .
Never mind any of this shit, i've just had to evict the biggest spider ive ever seen. Fucking thing might as well have been Shelob. Nothing gets that big without committing atrocities. If it gets back in....... Pray for me tonight peebee.
You havn’t gone and upset it 🫢
Don’t answer the doorbell. I did once in the middle of Emmerdale. Sat on the mat was the snail I had thrown over the back fence the week before. I picked it up and it shouted WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!
It took a dead arse jug to remove it. I swear it would have justified a bucket. It was pursuing a smaller spider. I also evicted him. As a sacrifice.
That was her husband.
And now he is her supper
Unless all she was after was a bit of a cuddle, so to speak.
I saw it on a David Attenborough programme. The Female Globe Spider. There she is down in South Africa about 4 times bigger than Shelob you turfed out tonight. And there he is! About the size of your little finger nail when up on 8 legs. And he’s got to go right up to her, and ask her out.
That’s why nature has made all Manspiders “leg men”.
Nature is cruelty
Not so according to Timmy Lea from confessions of a manspider point of view - corrrrr look at the legs on that. I’ll be running up and down them all night till on my back and ready for breakfast.
The book took Chris Wood just forty minutes to write, and consisted of just 3 pages. Strangely enough, the protagonist only made it to breakfast.
I can't imagine Biden, Scholz, Macron, Trudeau jumping to be friendly with her after this campaign at the next G7 summit. Truss needs to pray Meloni wins the next Italian election next month so she has a friend. She will have Zelensky of course but he is a bit preoccupied at present even if invited over Zoom.
Xi and Putin will obviously hate her and even Modi will not be best pleased she beat the first genuine candidate of Indian origin to have a chance of becoming UK PM
Graham Brady better not book any holidays this winter.
I’ve not seen evidence of Truss somehow surprising “on the upside”
She needs the loons onboard to survive in post. Therefore, she’ll be a loon
It is LOL.
The membership are about to elect IDS mark II to the premiership. It will one hapless mishap and gaffe and on-the-hoof bonkers policy announcement after another.
As the gaffes mount she will redouble her efforts by making up even more bonkers quiet bat people nonsense to sell.
Meanwhile the wall of economic shit will pour over her useless Cabinet.
I am convinced there will be a leadership election next summer.

At which we will all echo the discerning Mrs Duffy. I'm fed up with the one we have already ... off to finish my book on Germany 1945-50, not a presage I hope. (Rather good read, actually, Aftermath by one Harald Jaehner.)

I’m starting to think she won’t take them into the election too. There will be like the coup against IDS, no member vote, and Wallace or Barclay, or someone similarly acceptable to most MPs will lead them into the general election.

You are a racist.
I expect something quite dramatic to happen in the first week of September that will confound her critics but if not, then it is over for her
That's why when we weren't willing to do so, Barnier walked all over us, but once we were we stitched them up like kippers on the TCA.

Repeating several times a week she is not going to give support is not keeping her cards close to her chest but living in a fantasy world that will unnecessarily scare millions of lower income households.
You have no acquaintance with reality I’m afraid.

Skiers, not so much, unless they founded a new pagan religion of snow mountain worship.
(OK, will not mention it again. I had completely forgotten.)
Right: start again: Skiers, not so much, unless they formulate a new philosophical belief in the political independence of the high mountains.
The UK deserves so much better than this constant cheap europhobia
Putin is a foe, Al Assad, the Taliban
but if you can't figure out if Macron is in the same category, you're really not fit to be a British Prime Minister https://twitter.com/Haggis_UK/status/1562887482881871874

A statement that the Welsh are fundamentally lazy and thick is very clearly racist. As would be a statement that the English or Irish are fundamentally lazy and thick.
Having just read what I typed it makes sense but looks weird. It feels like I have used up my quota of the word 'what'.
“What country is the Queen of England from?”

He has never recovered from us voting leave
What more do you want? I mean, it's not actually possible to quote Hitler ever actually saying he was going to murder millions of Jews either, but it's pretty easy to get his drift

Pause. Confident answer:
“Two hundred trillion.”

She passionately holds a view right up until the moment she is passionately against it.
"Is Macron an ally against Putin or not?"
Ummmm
That was stunning, too.
Well, I felt as if I'd been hit over the head with something heavy.
He wasn't the manager. He owned 1.8% of the team borrowed from a bank he used to be a director of.

“How many days in a year?”
“Wait. Ok. That’s… a hundred years?”
I just thought, after sex he got eaten.
It's pathetic. She hasn't even been elected yet.
Xi and Putin will obviously hate her and even Modi will not be best pleased she beat the first genuine candidate of Indian origin to have a chance of becoming UK PM

Which is increasingly frequently.
You decide.
Or better still, a general election
