We just keep getting incompetent fookers in charge of the country.

I'm staggered we can't find anyone more competent than that intellectual lightweight. What has this country become?

I know we live in an age of perpetual Tory and right wing press gaslighting, but people have got eyes and ears. Liz Truss has already shown herself, on dozens of occasions, to be a political and intellectual dunce. That’s not an opinion, it’s just observation. She’s uninformed, vapid,  evasive, slightly absurd,unprincipled, inarticulate….etc etc

Anyone would be an improvement on Boris Johnson, who has burned this country to the ground, but this is not going to go well. Add that to the fact that this is possibly the hardest time in this nation’s history to be PM and you’re looking at a very short window of time before everyone can see, if they can’t already, that Liz Truss is way, way, way out of her depth and that if this is the best ‘talent’  that the Tories have to offer in terms of credentials, we are off to hell in a hand cart. It’s very obvious to me, that Liz Truss’ career should really not have seen her promoted beyond the level of an assistant manager at a local branch of Primark. At a f***ing push.

It’s amazing how far you can get in the Tory party if you’re willing to forego any pride, dignity or values that you once held. If you unswervingly toe the party line you can get right to the top despite being a complete air head.

Imagine the belly laughter all around the world when this news breaks. Johnson and now this dithering Thatcher cosplay wannabe is going to burn the rotting corpse of our reputation. The Russians will be fuming. If I was Putin I’d ask for my money back.

The other predictable thing from all this is Truss will come in an almost instantly freeze the energy cap as a popularity booster. Obviously after the energy companies have profited significantly and ordinary people have stressed for weeks over it.

Truss will need to do a lot more than that. The announced price cap for October is unaffordable for millions. Even if it was rolled back to the April price cap levels, millions will still struggle to pay given the high inflation and the increase in interest rates. Not to mention the businesses whose energy prices aren't capped which will just go under straight away without government support. If they are left to fail, we'll be seeing an even worse recession than is already on the cards which would mean even more job losses.

In fact, our only chance is if she does the exact opposite of whatever her first instinct is when encountering any sort of an issue.

I saw the report earlier that Priti Patel had resigned as Home Secretary and thought that this might perhaps be one silver lining to the cloud. And then I saw that Suella Braverman is expected to take over the role. intercourse me, we're doomed.

But she was brilliant in the hustings - she has great political talents of persuasion as long as she's speaking to very comfortably off pensioners, well some of them, about 0.2% of the population of the UK. Thankfully she can now govern properly with the strong backing of the 0.2% because we are out of the undemocratic grip of the European Union. Pensioners fecked our young people with Brexit and these few old farts are just finishing the job.

Some nasty stuff on here, sadly no surprise. Whatever your thoughts on Liz Truss and her new cabinet we really need this to work!
And yet let’s be honest the majority on here will be hoping she fails miserably..warped mentality  😕
