Plenty were saying this days ago, that the next move would be to sink the Belgrano.
I‘ve just watched a quick round up of her interviews today. How can she be so boring?! A dramatic and fast moving crisis that is affecting the majority of the population, and she‘s impossible to listen to. The dull repetitive drip feed of her answers is like a pall on my mind Every single one of the people (I’ve heard/seen) who have interviewed her on the radio and telly outshines her dim red-dwarf light with ease.
I wonder what those Conservative Party members who voted for her are now thinking about their decision.

Andrew Marr talking with Nick Ferrari on LBC earlier today.
Marr says it looks like a death spiral, that Truss’ close associates were trying to make the UK more like an American type nation post-Brexit (Singapore on Thames) “They we’re always a small minority and now they’re in charge of the party”, “they need to learn politics” and that even when it was failing John Major’s government were “more substantial“ than what we currently have, the conference chat is about getting rid of her, with “hollow laughter and fallows humour”.

That it was so crashable says much about the type of an economy it is.
Much is said about the sizes of economies. not about their qualities.
Pretty sure that’s what I said !

Oooh, okay, they’re the ones answering Owen Jones with the “brilliant, ten out of ten” bullshit. I was half watching (through my fingers from behind the sofa) and assumed they were minor delegates from local councils or some such rather than “ordinary voters” who pay to be member of this weird cult.

She was mocking working class call centre workers yesterday before being shamed into deleting her Tweet.
Call centre work is work, making cringe Tik Tok videos for horny centrist dads is not work as far as I am concerned.

So far as I can see she wasn’t mocking all call centre workers but a certain kind of cartoon person. And I have to say, having worked in a call centre myself I fully recognise the charicature she outlined in the tweet from my time there.

I do sometime wonder if I’ve made a mistake by avoiding all news on tv or radio. I stopped cos I couldn’t bear the sounds and sights of politicians braying and geegawing. I heard a couple of clips of her doing those and now I feel I made the right decision and that my misophonia towards political gasbagging is entirely warranted. We’ve been spoilt with excruciating voices in recent years - Johnson, Trump, Milliband, Rees-Mogg. What is it with people with grating voices rising to the top?

I’ve been thinking about this a bit this morning in a vague kind of way. No doubt a substantial representation of those who voted for Truss will be in the audience for her speech today.
This inept PM was put in place by 81,326 party member votes. Fewer than voted for BJ.
I’m still finding that quite shocking.
Liz Truss secured a lower percentage of party member votes than expected - could that change how she governs?
As Liz Truss is declared winner of the Conservative leadership contest, Sky's political team give their snap assessment of her acceptance speech and what lies ahead as she prepares to enter Number 10 tomorrow.

And I suppose that the kind of person who pays money to be a member of the Conservative Party is that kind of self serving self regarding self important selfish prick who only and ever prioritises their own mean little agenda. The kind of prick you avoid in the pub, hope not to end up sitting next to at the family do, hope you never end up working with or accidentally dating.
I doubt they’re self flagellating. I reckon there’s going to be a degree of sunk fallacy thinking going on for any of those who have any doubts but on the whole, I’m willing to bet that those who voted her in are those who would expect to be better off with her policies in place, or at least no worse off, and fuck everyone else.
Even those who might be catching a glimmer of how fucked this is will be pumped up with ego and air because they’ve made a difference, they’re part of history, they’ve played their part in the unfolding story. Ego and pomposity isn’t always a good feeling, sometimes it’s just narcissistically necessary that people will ignore how shit it is and just enjoy the sense of being important, significant.
And these types, when they see people struggling and falling, they don’t think “this is the result of dreadful policies at government level” instead they’re exactly the ones who think “well they should try harder do more“.
If I were a TV producer at Conference today I’d be directing the camera crew to pan over the audience as much as possible. Find the ones who are applauding and nodding along. Put them on the list.
They’re responsible for this fuck up as much as Truss and Kwarteng are. Probably more cos they had a fucking choice and Truss and Kwarteng are just acting out their nature,
