Granted I have only experienced these on Question Time and the election debates but got the feeling that she could do a good job.

cressida   1,554 #8426 Posted September 6, 2022 Must admit it was boring watching a cavalcade of cars making their way to Downing Street whilst listening to the boring political pundits giving a running commentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It must be London Cab drivers driving the Cavalcade cars the long way round, old habits die hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anna B   1,401 #8430 Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Liz Truss's speech to the masses: My my, was it worth the wait? What a let down. Did anyone see those pigs flying overhead? She managed less than 30 seconds before her first Prime Ministerial porky, blaming Covid and Russia for all our problems... She obviously thinks we're all thick if we'd fall for that one.  She's spectacularly underwhelming. We're in serious trouble, we're gonna need a bigger boat....

When the finale two were selected, was the cabinet and back benchers allowed to vote in the final  choice, or was it only people who are paid up members off the Conservative party the only ones that could vote . Was the people I first mentioned excluded, sorry to bother you again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HumbleNarrator   286 #8433 Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) I know what the rules about these things are and how it is all technically above board and all that, but it just doesn't feel right that Boris has been ousted the way he has been. Liz Truss should call an immediate general election to "morally" legitimize her premiership, especially if she intends to deviate away from the plans Boris had in a significant way.
