Plays well with the base though, not fans of the French. Cheese-eating surrender monkeys, you see.

To be balanced, the French president has been known to chuck the odd insult in election campaigns ….  But she could have answered in a much better way.

This has just cemented in my mind, as if there was any need, that Truss is simply good old fashioned thick

Thing is I don't think Truss can answer in a better way. She is in way above her head and desperate to play to the gallery. This and the Sturgeon question illustrated this.

Correct. Tories have got high on their own supply. She is trying to talk tough on Sturgeon and Macron as the country hurtles towards probably the biggest social crisis since the war. Terrifying.

Well we’re gonna find out within a fortnight when she’s no longer ‘playing to the gallery’

I think she will say and do anything to further her ambition. Once fulfilled goodness knows what harm she will do

I reckon Truss could pull off a miracle and land the Tories in third place.

Buzzing for Guido Fawkes to discover that this woman lives next door to someone whose cousin's workmate's aunty once indicated she would vote Labour in a YouGov poll.

They'll announce something in the autumn. They seem to like to let things get really bad then swoop in to deliver something inadequate but better than nothing (e.g. the Brexit 'deal'). It'll probably boost them in the polls so they're only a couple of points behind Labour.

Tories getting destroyed by my own ****wit local MP is just too much for me to dare to dream

I truly hope they get annihilated but unfortunately there are still people incapable of complex thought that would happily vote for them again.

Hope so.

 

Depends how many sheep are going to willingly put a cross next to their Tory MP.  Costa for example has thrown his weight behind Truss this week.  How many in South Leicestershire are willing to buck the trend when the time comes?

This is what really worries me. She's claimed to be the one to see us through the energy cost crisis but hasn't said how. But she's pledged to reduce taxation, revoke the NI increase. How then, will she fund any protection against energy bills and the CoL crisis looming? (I'm not referring to @Col city fanbtw )

Was reminded at the weekend that I know someone well that used to work for her.

 

I can remember them moaning blind about their boss but she was lower profile at the time and I wasn't sure who she was.

 

I need to engineer a catch up so I can get some goss
