I'm hoping for a good fight. My prediction: Truss to win in the 5th with a roundhouse kick to Rishi's nuts.

 

[XJ40]

All this effort just to be the next captain of the Titanic.

Crack on, I hope it's worth it.

 

[Touring Mars]

Truss is getting absolutely hammered here - unsurprising, really, given that she is an UTTER MORON.

She has literally just said "We need to learn from the mistakes of becoming dependent on Russian oil and gas - we can't let that happen with China, and freedom is a price worth paying"

 

[MatskiMonk]

Just an observation... I'm getting strong Tony Blair vibes from Rishi...

Well, he was a Tory. Let's just hope Sunak doesn't decide to kill a million people too.

Although even if he does, that might still be less of a disaster than Liz "I grew up in Yorkshire, honest" Truss.


Meanwhile Truss-truss Nads has been drunk-Tweeting all day, and it seems pretty obvious that she's got a strong sub-editing team behind her books.

Is your little heatwave over? I assume there is no measurable effect upon agriculture/food production.

I'm glad tp see that my recommendations for PM are now the reality. You will be far better off than under Johnson. The important thing is to stay tightly aligned with the US, and all will be in order as usual.

I think you will find that global climate change is still very much occurring.

I assume there is no measurable effect upon agriculture/food production.

As is often the case, your assumption is wrong.

I'm glad tp see that my recommendations for PM are now the reality.

You stand alone, in a field of 1, isolated.

You will be far better off than under Johnson.

Given that these two idiots worked with the straw headed moron to cause the mess we are in, I very much doubt that.

The important thing is to stay tightly aligned with the US, and all will be in order as usual.

Until your country fails and becomes a theocracy. To be blunt importing political ideologies from the US has done the UK pretty much nothing but harm, something that started with Reagan and Thatcher's trickle-down bollocks and has pretty much continued ever since. What we should have done is not left the EU and forged closer ties with our immediate neighbours.

Which one of them is the south-east Asian again?

I suspect this isn't so much a passing observation as a description of this poster's modus operandi.

Yes, in the end it must be Truss, strong and elegant as the Adford bridge, unyielding as the Rock of Gibraltar. Together with Joe Biden, she will usher in a new world order of rules-based liberal democratic values, and reduce the horrific disaster and chaos of fascist multipolar regimes.

I'm assuming this is a joke as there's nothing 'liberal' or 'democratic' about Liz Truss, with her links to various shady Koch-funded business interest groups; Heritage Foundation, AEI, ALEC, AfTR and their British counterparts, UK’s TaxPayers Alliance, Institute of Economic Affairs and the Adam Smith Institute.

I'd wager it's nothing more than provocative masturbation.

I had no idea the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge went by any another name.

She is Boris in a dress. A total liar who says she grew up in a town behind the red wall. It was actually Tory blue between 1955 and 1997 and run into the ground under their watch. Renewal only happened when the Tory wets known as new labour won the seat and spent some money on it.

Not a joke, serious as a heart attack and well beyond navel gazing within the UK. She needn't be terribly liberal or democratic herself, but simply follow, as she is currently doing, US policies converting corrupt authoritarian regimes into corrupt liberal democratic regimes, all on the altar of human rights. She will be a national heroine, perhaps the global leader with the clearest mind and highest value to global society. She's not just yours. She's mine, too.

 

[Famine]

the global leader with the clearest mind

 

[MatskiMonk]

She's mine, too.

Can you come and get her then.

I've got her on the line. When we take Russia I'll treat her to a night at my chalet in the Northern Urals.

Apparently there was another live debate between Truss and Sunak tonight on TalkTV, however the presenter/anchor of the debate, Kate McCann, fainted and collapsed live on air and the debate is now cancelled.

Fortunately, Kate McCann is OK but she was advised not to continue.

However one question remains, WTF is TalkTV??

No idea, never heard of it.

 

[Liquid]

TalkTV is a Murdoch station.

At least the presenter is okay but Truss and Sunak would put anyone to sleep.

Until a few months ago it was Talk Radio.

 

[Touring Mars]

Until a few months ago it was Talk Radio.

And at around 6 pm this evening it became Talk Bollocks.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

And at around 6 pm this evening it became Talk Bollocks.

I can picture the progression from radio to TV, but this one is a bit of a pickle.

 

[Touring Mars]

Prior to presenter Kate McCann's collapse, both Sunak and Truss did a somewhat masterful job of savaging the track record of the previous Government and explained why their change of direction is required.... hang on, wait a minute....

If your assessment of Truss is "unyielding", I can't find the words to describe your complete lack of knowledge about British politics. This flip-flopping imp in a skinsuit can't even decide what politics she grew up under. She froths for war like an Austro-Hungarian minor noble in 1913. She's spent enough time cosplaying as Thatcher in her time as a Tory bootlicker that should she get in I shall simply row myself to the Falklands to avoid waiting for conscription and a boat.

She will be a comprehensively out of touch embarrassment to the British nation and people, just like her three direct predecessors. You know absolutely nothing about the UK conservative party - and if you're going to be this wrong about this, there might be better places than a thread full of already quite miffed Brits.

I would stop here but will pause to point out the ludicrous boneheadery of suggesting to the nation still scarred by Tony Blair's licking of American boots that the best thing we could do is just not make any of our own policies and do what the US tells us, a bit like, I don't know, Iraq?
