That’s entirely on the government of 12 years, much of which was spent delivering austerity aka failing to mend the roof.

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.Big_G_NorthWales said:

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.turbotubbs said:
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.

Or, at best, someone prepared to act like a loon because she thinks it will advance her career.

* Liz Truss says 'jury's out' on whether Macron is friend or foe; Sunak says he's a friend
* Sunak says LizTruss would make a better PM than Johnson; Truss says Johnson
* Truss says energy bills are 'massive issue' but 'bunging money' at system is not answer.

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.BartholomewRoberts said:

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
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.0 -

And as for energy bills no one really knows the answer do they?Stuartinromford said:We're about to have an utter loon as PM. Or, at best, someone prepared to act like a loon because she thinks it will advance her career.
TalkTV hustings:
* Liz Truss says 'jury's out' on whether Macron is friend or foe; Sunak says he's a friend
* Sunak says LizTruss would make a better PM than Johnson; Truss says Johnson
* Truss says energy bills are 'massive issue' but 'bunging money' at system is not answer.

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
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.
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 drift1 -

Fair enough, since it’s a breach of the agreement we made two years ago.williamglenn said:
Macron explicitly said that not proceeding with the NIP legislation was a condition to remain friends with the UK.Gardenwalker said: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.
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.
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.

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.1 -

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
He has never recovered from us voting leave
Macron more than any EU leader has taken away his toys and is in a never ending sulk

No, she is too dull for that. However she does combine May's lack of charisma with more hardline Borisite policies.Stark_Dawning said:Liz Truss really will be Britain Trump. It's going to be full on. Boris was just the warm-up act.

It was her comment that she preferred Boris to Sunak that stood out, I thought. Can't see him having any role in a Truss government after that.0

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.MoonRabbit said:
You havn’t gone and upset it 🫢wooliedyed said: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.
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!
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”.
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.

If a British politician has nothing left to say, if the barrel is truly empty, if there is an awkward void, they blame the French for something.SouthamObserver said:
The Macron sulk is a Tory comfort blanket. It means they don’t have to engage with the consequences of their decisions and actions.Jonathan said:
What do you mean recovered? He probably thought Brexit was a bad move and said so. A view shared by most UK citizens today.Big_G_NorthWales said:

It's pathetic. She hasn't even been elected yet.0 -
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.Scott_xP said:Truss doesn't know if Macron is friend or foe ? Really ?

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 PM3 -

TalkTV hustings:
* Liz Truss says 'jury's out' on whether Macron is friend or foe; Sunak says he's a friend
* Sunak says LizTruss would make a better PM than Johnson; Truss says Johnson
* Truss says energy bills are 'massive issue' but 'bunging money' at system is not answer.

She needs the loons onboard to survive in post. Therefore, she’ll be a loon
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.)rottenborough said:

Flint knapper or merely purveyor of look, squirrel filler, whenever a Tory embarrasses themselves.
Which is increasingly frequently.
You decide.2 -
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.rottenborough said:
