That was appalling - she's toast

I disagree….I don’t think toast is that socially awkward. I have many bread-based friends and even the lightly grilled ones I know are very confident and cogent, fiscally astute and would be insulted to be compared to a big wet lettuce like her…. (….my lettuce-based friends are, on the other hand, all pricks)
It’s like talking to an answering machine!

Says economic stability a bunch of times, runs off like she's left the grill on.
Brilliant a masterclass in ducking responsibility and evading questions. Starts by blaming the previous labour govt, previous iterations of her own government, and even manages to make it putin's fault - then follows up by giving the same stock response to every question she's asked by journalists. First class politicianing.

Yep, she’s an absolute embarrassment. But Masterclass? She crashed and then swerved every question into another car crash. This wasn’t even amateurish politicianing! This women can’t even think on the spot to come up with a bull response to literally any question 😂 just stock responses…. It’s honestly so entertaining and I’d be laughing if it wasn’t our futures on the line. Currently trying to get a mortgage and I’m terrified to pull the trigger, and I honestly can’t right now. Which is devastating to my family. We’ve been renting for 6 years and it’s been train wreck after train wreck from this government making it impossible to confidently buy our first house. I’m beyond furious, this all feels like a nightmare, a sentiment shared by most… most who aren’t rich anyway.
I hate her pretending she was from a poor background in the north during the 1980s. Truss grew up in a leafy suburb of Leeds (Roundhay), the daughter of a senior Math professor. I grew up nearby in similar circumstances. We did not struggle as she makes out. Roundhay elected a Tory MP throughout her time there.

Roundhay leafy suburb! Christ when did you last go there? It's an extension of Harehills and Seacroft now. I left Leeds over 45 years ago. It's now unrecognisable and more like Kabul in some areas. So it probably was a bit rough in her day. Thanks to Tony, Gordon and Hillary.

Average house price is over £550,000! in Leeds ffs! As for Tony and Gordon, they had their faults but compared to the current lot of incompetent hard-right extremists, wrecking the UK, they were world-class statesmen. Mind you, even Jeremy Hunt looks good compared to Leafy Liz.

It’s like we are watching the work experience intern run the company for the day. I know not everyone in politics is gifted with being a good public speaker and in q and a mode but if you want to be PM you need to have that skill.
I’m so sick of being depressingly right about everything and having to sit and wait for all the “clever” gobshites to catch up. I said from the start that Johnson had purged the cabinet of any experience, ability and integrity, and stuffed it with a bunch of sniffers whose only qualification was their unquestioning support for him. It brought us Hancock, Raab, Patel etc… and Truss and Kwarteng. I said immediately that those people were not even up to the job for any ministerial role, and lo and behold we had Kwarteng as Business Secretary, never offering any glimmer of insight or original thought, but just parroting the party line in response to everything. And we had Truss as Secretary of State for International Trade, with her dramatic proclamations about cheese, trying to sell the myth of a post-Brexit world falling at our feet to make trade deals. The idea of her as Foreign Secretary was a bad joke that became real. But the idea of this pair becoming Chancellor and Prime Minister… words failed me. Neither of them had a clue what they were doing, as we have now seen. And finally, at last, the “clever” gobshites have caught up with me and understood what I said years ago.

PPi, track and trace, covid testing contracts are recent examples of corruption. That’s why Boris built a team of untrustables! Mad thing is, that conferences from Truss was so bad, she couldn’t lead a dog, and yet, she’s probably less corrupt than Boris, and that’s why the big industry players don’t want her. So now we have the tail leading the dog, which explains everything that is wrong with government and power!

It is important to understand that Igor is generally regarded as an idiot but holds the position of finance minister because his party is vital to the governing coalition. One contributor said (in Slovak, you understand), "Well, the British prime minister and finance minister will soon be looking for new jobs. We could hire them. They cannot do worse than Matovič." Another said, "We understand that women can never succeed because they bleed. Well this one has become Prime Minister, killed the Queen and crashed the Pound ..... and all in one menstrual cycle !"
