[Cerv]

I can't imagine anyone in Taiwan is particularly grateful for Truss bumbling in with her insights to the delicate situation

She must be under medical supervision. No one can lack this level of self awareness and live

Well at least she didn't demand the CCP hand over Mongolia

I dunno. Maybe self-awareness really is completely superfluous. She even sits upright and does platitudes.

Tell us about self-awareness, 8ball? I'm interested in your thoughts.

Well, Ms. Truss. I'm afraid you'll need a more advanced teacher than me.

You seem to meander along ok

A fair point. Maybe not quite your forte.

 

[gosub]

outlook not so good. Probably would have done

 

[Mezzer]

Hopefully her time really will be up if she's stupid enough to stand at the next election. 26,000 majority shouldn't be difficult to overturn. She's very easy to dislike.

Low taxes, collapsing social security and Bringing Back The Workhouse are Fundamental Tory Values - what else is there to the ideology?

Her policies werent tried - they didnt get a chance - thats the argument

And are these "values" the crucial point? What about interests?

Actually, she has a point there, an “economic nato” is a good idea. A union of geographically close countries might just work. Perhaps we could start with the European ones?

Nah be a nightmare, NATO has standards for procument things like making sure everyone's gun are compatible with standard agreed rounds. Start thinking about trying to do in economics with stuff like currency headaches lots and lots of headaches

Yeah, there’s no way on earth you’d ever get loads of countries using the same currency. It’ll never happen

She is flat out taking the piss and Sunak will be if he allows it to go ahead:

Liz Truss requests peerages for some of her closest Tory supporters

Former prime minister understood to have submitted list despite government lasting only seven weeks

As if those local radio interviews weren't bad enough for Truss, eight of them have won a national award for them.

Eight local journalists are set to share a national award for a round of interviews they conducted with Liz Truss while she was Prime Minister.

The Broadcasting Press Guild has honoured the presenters from BBC Radio Leeds, Norfolk, Kent, Lancashire, Nottingham, Tees, Bristol and Stoke for their work on a series of “car crash” interviews given by Ms Truss in September following the “mini-budget” by then-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.

It is widely believed that Downing Street set up the interviews in the hope that the local presenters would present the then PM with a series of “soft” questions.

In fact it turned into a demonstration of the power of local journalism, with Ms Truss audibly floundering in the face of some tough grilling from the presenters.

Awarding them its jury prize, the BPG has described the breakfast show interviews as “game-changing for Liz Truss and her doomed government.”

More like £1 billion a day when she was there wasn't it?

The Sunday Telegraph (paywall) reports on today's front page that Truss is planning to make a speech condemning a "cartel of complacency" related to an OECD backed plan to have a harmonised 15% global corporation tax. From reading the front page uploaded to the BBC newspaper review thing, I'm getting the impression that she has now jumped to the fringes of obsession and I do wonder what the good people of her constituency think while she's turning into this tax-obsessed robotic weirdo.

She's as mad as a box of frogs, here's a paywall-free link - Liz Truss to call OECD a ‘global cartel of complacency’ over taxes

 

[Chilli.s]

Seems like a battle of ideas in her own head, sure she wants the most lucrative to herself to win

 

[BusLanes]

She's just saying stuff she thinks the nutters at the iea and various US think tanks with deep pockets want to hear. Talk shit, get paid.

Lecturing about "personal responsibility"; you couldn't make it up...

"I can't buy a house - call the government" wtf is she on?

I saw clips from this on Novara last night, she really is blaming woke culture for her being binned. I can’t get over her. She leaves me speechless. Oh and I’m angry, she’s made the housing and rentals crisis far worse and she doesn’t give a shit.

 

[Chilli.s]

She spouts a load of auld tut, and as usual its really all about her
