Liz Truss’s time is up

Thank goodness we didn’t get chaos with Ed Milliband really
Aren't we fortunate.

Amazingly, I know a couple of Tories who swear blind, and were still doing so as of just this weekend, that their party has saved us from a fate worse than death. I don't know how the mess could be greater, short of nuclear war, but this lot are even working on that. There are prolific serial killers who've caused less fear and distress than this government, and terrorist groups who'd have thought better of inflicting this scale of damage to the UK.

Never has a picture of a Jewish guy eating a bacon sandwich been used to such ill effect.
 
From CPRE:

On Friday, Kwasi Kwarteng, the new chancellor, revealed plans to strip away the protection of the planning system from swathes of the countryside [1]. These new “investment zones” are deregulation on steroids, threatening many of our most loved landscapes.

If these plans go ahead developers will be given free rein to industrialise our countryside, changing the face of rural England for generations to come. We cannot stand by and allow the wildlife and landscapes that make our country so special to be robbed from us, our children or our grandchildren.
 
Anecdotally biased but:

There's a certain right wing political coalition that has coalesced firstly around UKIP and Farage and found expression in Tory governments post Cameron. I think it's crumbling before our eyes. Listening to two of this ilk today talking to each other baffled about why the energy companies are let off, baffled about why borrowing is suddenly OK, saying they're more worried about the NHS than taxes and talking about the importance of investing in renewable energy. I think there's a big urge to give the new government a chance but my feeling is that that's rapidly dissolving. It's not that Truss has turned everyone into left wingers it's just something so naked about her project that it's repellent to pretty much everyone and the sycophantic right wing media doesn't hold so much sway anymore. There isn't that spring in their step anymore as there isn't a readily available ideology that makes sense of the world to them. If I'm right in that there is no a large newly politically homeless group, I'm not sure where they will end up, but I think in the immediate they will just stop voting Tory probably just stop voting at all.
 
no wonder Liz Truss has offered her support

saying that she more than likely critique the Italian pm for not cracking down hard enough on the real problem poor people
