who is keeping this circus going? She's an abject fucking grifter, and yet they lap it all up.
A couple of people on here (including me) have said that it kind of feels like this is all a big 'testing the water'strategy to see if there's a consistent level of support for a new 'Conservative' party in the UK. One that isn't just another off shoot of the the Tory Party and/or UKIP wankers.who is keeping this circus going? She's an abject fucking grifter, and yet they lap it all up.

It should have been an ancronym of lettuce, LizExpectsToryTwatsCantUnderstandEmpathy. They have a 44 day manifesto.
Well exactly!kier starmer thread this way ----->
If she is knowingly expressing her BDSM kink then that would be a tiny, minute, sliver of positivity shining forth from a morass of utter despair. My suspicion is that it was a joke gift from a bullingdon type which she hasn't had the brains to pick up on.Conservative Party, seemingly lead by a woman that a) famously was beaten by a lettuce and b)wears a 'sub' necklace in almost every photo she's in.

Cash-strapped local authorities across the UK took out massive 50-year loans at soaring rates of interest in the aftermath of Liz Truss’s catastrophic mini-budget, according to official figures that reveal more about the long-term cost to the public of her 49 days in office.
Figures from the government’s Debt Management Office show that after the budget on 23 September, 2022, announced by Truss’s chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, 24 50-year loans of between £590,000 and £40m were taken out by councils at interest rates of up to 4.77 %, over the rest of that year.
During 2023, while rates remained high, a further 29 50-year loans, including one of £80m by Lambeth council at an interest rate of more than 5%, were taken out as local authorities remained under severe financial pressure.
The way councils have been pressured by successive Tory governments to take on more debt and to adopt risky strategies to get by will be highlighted this week in a speech by shadow levelling up secretary Angela Rayner.
Rayner will argue that the Truss/Kwarteng budget saw councils locked into high interest loans that people will be paying back for decades to come, and that this was symptomatic of a disregard for local authority finance that goes back to the launch of George Osborne’s austerity drive in 2010.
Since then, local authorities have seen real-terms spending power cuts of more than 50%, meaning huge reductions in services, and leaving many now facing bankruptcy.
Last week Rishi Sunak criticised local authorities for putting up council tax too sharply, by more than 5%, even as some have been left on the brink of financial ruin.
Council leaders looking to raise tax by more than the 5% cap either have to be granted permission by central government or hold a local referendum on doing so. Bedfordshire is the only council to have held a vote, in 2015, which it lost.
Agreed; the only useful thing that they achieved was clinically exposing just how addicted ‘the markets’ are to managing, exploiting and appropriating public money; they fucking hate the notion of tax cuts.Truss and Kwarteng should be in fucking prison as far as I'm concerned. Their actions amounted to wanton vandalism.
Deep state, has she gone Trump?

It certainly sounds that way."Now people are joining the civil service who are essentially activists,” Truss said. “They might be trans activists, they might be environmental extremists but they are now having a voice within the civil service in a way I don’t think was true 30 or 40 years ago. So we just have a wholly new problem"
Is she now suggesting that trans people and environmentalists played a role in her downfall? I hope she chokes on a lettuce leaf
extremist Randian's like the half-witted Truss truly believe that the entire civil service can be privatised and outsourced to Capita etc.It certainly sounds that way.
The whole civil service blaming nonsense never fails to piss me off. If any government manages to strip down the service who's going to do it's bidding?
She really is like Johnson, in complete denial that her problems were caused by herself, so just lash out and blame everyone else instead.
Not forgetting she has a book to flog.
To commemorate Liz Truss' record-breaking 45 days in office, we set to write an equally memorable book detailing her greatest accomplishments. But, just like her policies, our work was sadly undone. Here's a blank notebook for your troubles.
Mind you it was hedge funds and their mates who brought her down wasn't it? Down with the Deep State hedge funds
