What !!??!!😱🤡🫠

I'm sure there must be more fascinating stories about her past than bonkers and tiresome! Tim Harford was at uni with her but won't reveal anything 😒

David Icke will be calling her bonkers a month or so later.

She should be in an institution.

What galls me more than anything is her entitlement to stand at the Cenotaph and take £115K a year for ever! And security?

I get the focus on her handling of the economy in particular but it always struck me as alarming that she appointed Coffey SoS for Health AND DPM…for… reasons. That said, I remain grateful for Coffey drawing attention the attention of NHS workers to the importance of the Oxford comma!

She’ll likely still be doing things like Remembrance Sunday in 30 years time so that one day people yet to be born will point at their TV’s and say “Oh THAT’S Liz Truss.” The modern version of being damned by the gods, like Sisyphus or Prometheus!

Congratulations to Jeremy Corbyn on his sex change.

I’m curious why Truss, is so different to Kwarteng, who is calm, seemingly clinical, completely non-contrite - & totally arrogant As if everyone else is stupid for even daring to think he isn’t a genius who got it all right

I mean she did more damage to the economy than anyone else and has spent the time since wrapped in racist and conspiratorial nonsense, so I think she actually deserves more hatred, not less.

She has a new book out.

Ha ha ha ha

U

Truss was disastrous and you're right about those who encouraged her. I feel she is self-harming. I wonder why family and friends are not intervening more. Maybe they have tried? As for Long, she's savaged Megan Markle with such viciousness. It borders on obsession. So much for the 'Sisterhood'!

Funny. Reading the RW media i thought bonkers was Ed Milliband's official title.

That cheered me up more than I probably deserved!

Whenever I see that photo of Camilla Long I think it's Titania McGrath.

It is no surprise to hear 'Truss is bonkers' because Liz Truss *is* bonkers. It's not in any sense sexist, misogynistic or mean-spirited.

Or one of those people who would rather continue to defend a ridiculous argument than admit ever having been wrong.

I have friends who thought that Truss would be a good leader, but they watch GBeebees! How much is their fault, I'm not sure? My real loathing is reserved for those Tory MPs, all of whom would have known she was a liability & the media charlatans promoting her!!

8/1 value bet though Sam. She may have tried to bugger the economy, and killed The Queen, but I was £80 richer.

Christ. I had forgotten all about Francois. He seemed to be everywhere for a while.

A mate of mine knew her when she was in the Lib Dems and said she was a strange one even then.

The white stuff in the 'house' used by the foreign secretary at the time, it seemed like she was on something always, but was ok when she supported the EU? How much did she make becoming a brexiteer?! The mini budget was epic criminality, networks made a lot of money, what an epic toxic criminal!

so in the end it came down to the folly of allowing the rank and file to vote on the parliamentary leaders... surely that has failed as a system often enough in enough countries to be abandoned? MPs have to work for/with the leader they alone should choose the eader

Like Corbyn, its the MPs fault for putting them on the shortlist, though. Incredibly short-sighted on both cases.

A lot of Tory MPs- why did they do that? it s not as if her predecessor wasnt flawed either...

yes there was always reporting that civil servants who had worked with her considered her deranged beyond all contenders

Say what??!! 😳😳

I had a bet at the time that the party wouldn't vote for a brown man over a white woman and I won.

Absolutely

i find it fascinating and confusing. For people like Truss how much of their decline is genuine or performative. She is obvs intelligent..its like conspiracy theorists? if so there is a genuily wellness issues. perhaps Jenrick more peformative

They don't do shame. The Tories enabled her appointment knowing she was unfit to run a whelk stall let alone occupy high office.

I genuinely believe she had some kind of massive breakdown on the back of her disastrous premiership, and that family and friends should have had some kind of intervention. She really has lost the plot. And I take no pleasure in any if this.

Truss? Johnson? Thatcher? Starmer?

It doesn't matter if the system theoretically exists on paper if it doesn't in practice. And in practice, with the US two party system as it is, an American president can do all manner of obviously corrupt and incompetent shit and still have no fear of being removed by the Senate.

There is also the 25th Amendment, which allows the majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove the President.

As I say, the US don't have a system to remove someone like Truss.

That's exactly how a parliamentary system works.

Well, this has brought the bots out.

Darren Henry my then MP voted for her. He lost massively. These things are not unconnected.
