Where is Liz Truss?

Truss finally made an appearance with a round of local radio interviews. These will have been pre-booked because it is the usual thing they do before the Conservative Party Conference. It turns out local radio presenters are not the lackey's the Westminster lot are.

Here they all are. It's not good and it seems her strategists are unaware of BBC sounds. Tees is from 35 mins, but really you should listen to the lot, it's hilariously dreadful, just as we expected.

Dan Snow's verdict

'That was the worst provincial campaign of any of our leaders since autumn 1216 when King John, marching about dealing with a rebellion & two invasions, caught dysentery in Norfolk, lost the Crown Jewels in The Wash and died in Nottinghamshire'

It was always the concern with Truss. Better for labours chances but what damage would she do in the meantime? (particularly given who was backing her).

Mind I don't think anyone predicted the speed she'd get stuck into it. It's caught everyone out.

Surely even if they boot her out and appoint Sunak the damage is done to the Tory Party. Those fkwit members that voted for her ARE the Tory Party. Surely joe public will see them for what they are
Especially the middle classes whose mortgages and heating bills will cripple them and the pensioners whose private pension pots are suddenly not looking rosy at all.
 
They'll be puking in their 7pm G and T's

In a perfect or even slightly sane world the likes of Johnson and Truss should be nowhere near the role of PM, both dishonest, both compromised and neither suited to the rigours of the role, the difference between them is why they're unsuitable Johnson, through laziness and his inability to do detail and Truss, through a lack of political intellect and inability to connect or communicate.

Politics is a serious business and whilst Cameron and May were not aligned to my own political dogma they were capable of doing the job, many others in the Conservative's currently would have been much better choices to lead the Party, I can see that the popularism of Johnson won him the leadership vote but I'm at a complete loss as to the thought process in promoting Truss to such a position, it really defies any logical analysis, she wasn't the most popular with her fellow MP's and she was marginally more popular in a two horse race in a anti-immigration membership than a man of Asian descent who'd orchestrated the downfall of their 'Great Leader', they weren't voting for Truss they were voting against Sunak.

Exactly! Saying you much prefer Johnson to Truss is like saying youd rather have Rudolf Hess to Adolf Hitler. They are both members of the same cabal. Johnson is the reason we have Truss. Notwithstanding the fact that he ushered her in by turning the party membership against Sunak Johnson’s rise to power on the back of right wing populism was created on a big lie. He manufactured the system that brought in all these chancers and grifters into Government. It’s basically a crime family.

Yeah I think so, but never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

Sheriff, I can see where your argument is coming from…but there’s a flaw there.
The people now in charge of the party have eventually put what we see in charge, with Johnson being a facilitator of the event. This isn’t, and hasn’t been, for sometime a ‘Tory’ party.
It’s still morphing into what it will eventually become…But it will never again be Tory in the sense that most understand.
But the hopefully the polls are right and this mutating thing can be crushed, and the remnants be recaptured, and maybe something better can be built.
 
Thank god they found her, the place was really starting to fall apart without her.
Now she is back, she can finish off the Tories for the foreseeable.
 
Also I should add I'm someone who does not own his own home, therefore am not in the financially sound position to say "we can take it" like some of yous are rather complacently saying.
 
To me it looks like we are watching the inevitable break up of the Conservative and Unionist Party. If you have a majority of sixty plus and you still can't get your policies through a vote in the Commons it is probably time to call a General Election. It is plain to me that there are at least two parties wearing the blue rosette. We have basically UKIP and we have the remnants of the old "Right of Centre" party and both tails are trying to wag the dog. So the tax cut for the rich was not going to pass and now we have a simmering argument about benefits. You can't have both. Plainly the moderates have discovered a spine that was hitherto unsuspected. I have profound sympathy with posters like the honourable Sheriff. But I'm not sure I agree that we'd be better off with Johnson. That cult* is a very dangerous one you only have to venture on Twitter to find bots and numpties with "Back Boris" in their profiles. I've just watched the news and probably predictably food banks are struggling to feed those needing help, donations are down from supermarkets and of course people are finding their own food bills rising so can they afford to put those extra cans in the collection bin...

We can't get much lower. Can we?
