It's going to more wooden than Prudhoe Timber Howay man, although Starmer doesn't have much natural charisma, its a bit much calling him a personality vacuum, let alone making any comparison with Truss. I think Truss will be so bad it will be a funny listen personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truss will obviously just be an embarrassment, though no doubt cheered to the rafters for this week at least.

A job I've been doing for two months after being sacked from the same job last year.' I don't know Johnny, maybe start by not making multiple public appearances in support of an ex-soldier who shot and killed a young man with learning disabilities in the back. Aye. Mercer’s a cunt. Perhaps relatively less so than most of the rest of the party but that really isn’t saying anything at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see the Daily Mail et al. bringing up the bullying line or accusing Starmer of Mysogny, be interesting if he changes his style because of this. I'm not sure he has to, tbh. Also nae fucker except us self haters listens to or reports this shit anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this cabinet will be even more off the rails than Johnson's, and Johnson got a huge (undeserved) covid dividend where lots of people thought he was doing a good job for a bit. Truss won't get that, her cabinet will do wacky shit, and she has none of the Johnson big majority protection factor. She's gonna be a fucking disaster and it's gonna unravel fast, I reckon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6590 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Of the 7 candidates who went up against her for the Tory leadership, she's appointed 5 in her cabinet. Only Sunak and Hunt, who was the only one eliminated NOT to then go and endorse Truss have been left out. Was listening to Radio 4 last night and they had Anna Soubry on. She made a telling distinction when comparisons were being drawn between Thatcher and Truss: "Margaret Thatcher was clever. She surrounded herself with people across the entire Conservative spectrum from Norman Tebbitt on the extreme right to Ken Clarke and Michael Heseltine at the opposite end of the scale. She knew she had to in order to succeed. Liz Truss has talked consistently about 'uniting the party', yet she's surrounding herself with her people only. It won't end well." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this will be her downfall. She was never one of the headbangers but she let them do the dirty work to get her where she is now. Instead of trying to unite the party she's pretty much let the ERG take over government while ignoring the fact that she has excluded large swathes of the more 'moderate' parliamentary party who are now going to have it in for her from day one. On the other side she'll have people in government not afraid to throw their toys out of the pram if she doesn't let them get their way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a junior minister for NI under Cameron.

Maybe, its just what I heard on the radio. It was probably referring to the first Cameron cabinet (2010 intake), think Wallace might have become a minister later? Regardless, the attrition rate in the government, including the top job, is ridiculous. Good job we didn't get an even more unstable government under Miliband.
