Its a shame they ditched this one many moons ago - Running around waving a burning flame & setting fire to stuff seems an appropriate way to represent their record in Govt since 2010.

I've seen a quote where she's said she hasn't given up hope of having another go at being tory leader. In the same way that I haven't given up hope of recording a 9.50 in the 100 metres. Utterly delusional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spun as a positive because the BoE can perhaps now reduce the interest rates due to a contracting of the job market and therefore a slowing of wage increases?

Victorian Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Truss's blunderbuss of blame reaches far and wide. One of her recent strands is to castigate other Tory MPs as being CINOs. Conservatives in name only. Remember that many of these MPs are the very people she relied upon to obtain the parliamentary support to make it on to the membership ballot for leadership. Thanks for the vote mate. You've made me leader. By the way but, you're a shit Tory. Today she brushed off the blame for interest rate armageddon on mortgage payers. Nothing to do with the mini budget. The one that required her to sack her Chancellor. The one that she previously DID accept some blame for. No, interest rates were rising anyway. So much so that the BofE are to blame for it by... not increasing the interest rate quick enough (bemused much?). In fact, interest rates should have gone up 'cos they were too low. Bank of England are to blame for interest rate being too low, too high, low for too long, putting it up too quickly (to prevent a total meltdown). She's making little effort to maintain even a facade of a coherent narrative. Quite a tragic, lame exercise in reputational restoration.

We well remember how she forgot the way out of a room, that she had entered, to give one of her insightful monologues in, only a few minutes earlier. Sergey Lavrov also showed her up for lack of knowledge on her job as Foreign Secretary when he led her into making a bold statement on Russian geography when she hadn’t a clue. She is a real asset to the UK, but not in the way she maybe thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 11 hours ago, Boab said: Aye, and it was in Economics ! Lecturer must have had a penchant for a decent pair of breasts ! As plausible an explanation as any other. She's a Tory politician - it was PPE: Philosophy, Politics and Economics; a "general studies" degree, in other words. I've no idea what class of degree she got; I can't imagine it was higher than a 2:2 or it would have been all over her profile. I read somewhere that she was initially rejected from the Oxford college that interviewed her but was put into a 'pool' where other colleges can pick you up. Rather than be grateful at this lifeline, she threw a hissy fit and demanded that the original college, Merton, give her a place. Surprisingly, they did, which only puts Merton College right down in my estimation. Whether she got her degree through her quite well-known penchant for the boaby and willingness to put it about for personal gain is open to speculation. I know she went on to qualify as a chartered management accountant, which is not a feat of remarkably great intellect if you're well coached. However, her innate ability to make a complete dumpling of herself is something that isn't identified or weeded out by any exam system that I know of.

She has the wit and intelligence of a soup spoon, but I'm presuming that whoever is running her plans to have her "emerge" as a front runner for the leadership after a Tory meltdown at the election, so she can pivot the party to Reform and put it on an upwards electoral track. That might work alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I really can't see any of the leading right wing bampots or any current or previous top brass being remotely interested in being an opposition party leader. There's no grift in it and there's nowhere near the same post-office spin offs. They are not a natural or comfortable party of opposition. I doubt any of the well known figures will go near it until much nearer to an election that they are likely to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) The far right are not interested in actually being in power. That comes with responsibilities and oversight. And it tends to confront their stupid ideas with harsh reality. They thrive on sniping from outside and grifting huge amounts of money from their soft headed followers. This current lot of shitebags have actually been in power for 14 years but still refuse to accept any responsibility or accept that their plans are wholly illegal. It's all a conspiracy, you see. A global cabal of hardcore marxists fronted by the UN, the EU, the IMF, The Bank of England, Carol Vorderman and Gary Lineker. It's not their fault that their bonkers ideas don't work. Just subscribe to their wee campaign groups and donate a few quid a month so they can carry on the fight against the dark forces of reality.

Can only see it being a minor bampot as some kind of caretaker leader until the next election draws close. As soon as there's the beginnings of an election campaign in the near future, out will come the opportunists, ideologues, proxies for hidden interests. The main players will go on manoeuvres. It's still very much unclear as to which and how many of these ***** will remain MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 It might have been wise for Sunak to have steered clear of the Angela Rayner accusations by a guy who isn’t confident enough in his information to tell all what she is alleged to have done all those years ago. He could end up looked foolish if the Police, who initially said there was nothing to investigate, come back and repeat that assessment. No doubt, if she is cleared by the Police, the Daily Mail will declare that she has wasted Police time, as they did with Starmer when they went after him and demanded a Police investigation. Politics in the UK is bordering on farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
