Liz Truss’s time is up

It’s going to be rough. Or something. And I don’t think I can spend it with you guys anymore. Just re-posting Twitter shit pictures. Bye, good luck et cetera.
There's nothing wrong with using Twitter and memes alongside posts which is what do many threads are, and let's face it, "laughter is the best medicine" at the moment.
 
Oh
I have just realised why her cheese speech was so shite- it’s cos we import foreign cheese. Like cos we like foreign cheese.we are not importing cheddar or that rubbery orange stuff you see in Scotland

She is silly saying that
 
Has anyone got an opinion original thought? Here’s a clue don’t borrow it off Twitter. I mean fuck it actually I am out.

what do you want

liz sort of reminds me in looks as the squirrel in SpongeBob?

:hmm:

And the best way to indicate that would be a tweet or meme to prove it though maybe I have to step back from sharing them for the time being!
 
That said, don't get the complaint about the "anti-democratic" nature of the process; our system is obviously not all that but it's always been a party elected to government and their leader in top job. Suppose mass media age has made it more presidential so feels like we should pick but it is working as designed.
Yes I don't get the liberal complaints about this. If you want a representative parliamentary democracy how should it work apart from this way?

Are people arguing for a move to a formal presidential style system? That there's a return to the leader of parties being chosen solely by the MPs (how would that be more' democratic')? That non-members should have some formal input in the choice of party leaders?

I was talking to a Tory party member last week, and he expressed the view that the members shouldn't get a vote for the leader, for two reasons, the first being they need the maximum number of MPs supporting them otherwise there will be more problems trying to keep the parliamentary party together.

His main reason is that the members select their local candidate to represent them, and likewise the successful ones are elected by the wider electorate to represent them in parliament, and that should include selecting their leader. Do you have about 180k members from a very narrow demographic selecting the leader or the MPs representing almost 14m voters and a much wider demographic, he believes the second option is the more democratic.

I can see his point.

btw i've replied 4 now 5 times on this thread and none have them have been twitter links or memes :p
 
He's still a landlord. :mad:
Well, his parents are/were. I remember, now you mention it, someone telling me recently that Kohli snr was their landlord when they rented in a street around the corner from me. I don’t know what Sanjeev’s business affairs are, although I know his brother seems dodgy and has had sexual harassment accusations against him.
 
I'm loving the @liztruss/@trussliz twitter mixup going on. She's handling it hilariously :D Gonna be a busy morning for her.
I see Caroline Lucas made that mistake. Shows how clueless she is that she didn't check the handle before ensuring that every reply goes to the wrong person. But yeah, the other Liz is taking it well!
