Objectively the best joke ever made on Urban, 10/10.
 
Amusingly the Mail is stirring the pot, by running extracts from Mad Lizzie's new book, where of course she's still blaming everyone else for the fact that she's a total fuckwit. :D

Truss blames Sunak for Tories' election defeat, but also says 'bulk' of MPs also partly responsible​

Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick both say they want to unite the Conservative party if they become leader. But this morning, in the Daily Mail, there is a good illustration of why this will be so hard. As James Heale from the Spectator points out, the Mail is running extracts from the new paperback edition of Liz Truss’s memoirs in which the former PM strongly attacks her successor, Rishi Sunak.

Ahead of her paperback release, Liz Truss issues a scathing attack on Rishi Sunak in the Mail

Claims he was “complicit in amplifying Labour’s lies and spreading smears about me and my premiership”

Dubs him “a creature of the Whitehall machine” and says he skipped key meetings

Says Sunak was “fundamentally dishonest about illegal immigration, taxes, growth and inflation”

Tory MPs didn’t remove him as “most.. shared his belief in the establishment narrative”

Adds of remaining MPs: “It wasn’t so much survival of the fittest as survival of the wettest”

In the extract Truss says the “bulk” of Conservative MPs were also party responsible for the party’s election defeat. She says:

When I left office and Rishi became leader in October 2022, Reform’s poll rating had been around the 3 per cent mark. By the time he called the election, they were consistently in double figures on around 12 per cent and were exceeding 14 per cent by polling day.

The blame for that lies entirely on Rishi’s shoulders. Instead of acknowledging the truth about the difficult state the country was in, he tried to press release his way to success. He was fundamentally dishonest about illegal immigration, taxes, growth and inflation.

Yet it needs to be acknowledged that this dishonesty was not limited to him. It was also reflected in the bulk of the parliamentary party. The reason Rishi was not removed by MPs when he was leading us to consistently disastrous poll ratings and a dire performance against his own targets is that most of them shared his belief in the establishment narrative. They fundamentally misunderstand Britain.

It is also why he has not been properly taken to task for the worst Conservative defeat in 200 years. The Conservative parliamentary party did not want to acknowledge their complicity in backing the status quo over the real change the country needed – and still needs.

‘Even diehard Conservatives would not vote for her’: how Liz Truss tried to remake herself after her spectacular election defeat

Booted out of her Norfolk constituency in July’s general election, the former PM is still wildly ambitious. Will she make a comeback?
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Truss’s allies say she plans to continue making interventions at home and in the US, where she is a loud supporter of the incoming president, Donald Trump. Some believe she will attempt to retake her old seat at the next election, not least because she has issued press releases criticising her successor. Tory grandees would rather she stay well away from domestic politics.

I think I'm right in saying that other than Disco Dave, parachuted in so as to shore up Sunak's cabinet, the last ex-PM to be enobled was Thatcher.

Having just typed the above I checked I was right, and it turns out the Maybot got a red gown earlier this year. :eek:
