https://www.politico.eu/article/lizz-tr ... hcare-nhs/It may cheer her up to know that Seldon, who has co-authored numerous political biographies of prime ministers, believes Truss was a better PM than her predecessor, Boris Johnson, who he labels the worst of all time.
“She did at least have an intellectual drive and economic policy consistency about her,” he told the Times. “She was undoubtedly clever and had objectives that she passionately believed in and wanted to achieve
No idea how bad it's gotten but at least 8+ years ago the whole thing was a rabid Brexit/Boris propaganda sheet. No objectivity, no wit, no news.SaintK wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2024 3:29 pmI tried to read Saturdays Telegraph.

It is now ultra right wing.
Intellectual drive? Clever? This guy is having a laugh surely. The dumbing down of politics over the last 14 years of PPE Oxford types who think the HoC and Parliament was just the same gig as the Debating Club at Oxford has been a major reason this country has been driven over a cliff. It was never more obvious than during Covid press conferences when the Blonde Bumblecunt or Hapless Hancock were on the podium with real clever guys like Whitty and Vallance. The emails exposed in the covid enquiry when they had to explain basic stats to the Lump of Lard showed just how stupid many of those in power were. Like him or not at least Starmer has a proven intellectual ability that overshadows all of the Tory MPs of the last 14 years. It's about time we had someone boring but brainy in charge.fishfoodie wrote: Tue Aug 27, 2024 8:33 pmhttps://www.politico.eu/article/lizz-tr ... hcare-nhs/It may cheer her up to know that Seldon, who has co-authored numerous political biographies of prime ministers, believes Truss was a better PM than her predecessor, Boris Johnson, who he labels the worst of all time.

The Author has a peculiar idea of, "clever".
Imbeciles can have objectives they, "passionately believed in and wanted to achieve", but they're still imbeciles if what they believe in is fantasy, or impossible by all recognizable science, & precedent. Truss believed in Truss, & spouted whatever bolloxology her sponsor"Think Tanks" plonked in front of her.

Not sure trying to turn smokers into an oppressed minority is going to help them much. About 11% of the UK population smokes and that figure continues to fall over time. In 2021 it was 13%.

If it goes to the members she's a shoe in; which will be hilarious because I'd say that's the worst case scenario for the MPs, so I expect them to vote tactically to get her off the ballot from here. I didn't think there was a person with thinner skin than the orange one, & then she appeared & made him look like the soul of calm, & considerate Politics.dpedin wrote: Sat Sep 07, 2024 9:37 amI would like them to lurch further to the right and go all out Trumpy!

Does it matter who they pick in this round? Or the next?
None of them will be leader of the opposition come the next election.Sandstorm wrote: Tue Sep 10, 2024 4:46 pmDoes it matter who they pick in this round? Or the next?
There'll just be a scandal/fallout within the Party around whoever is leader(s) in the next 2-3 years and they'll have to vote again anyway.
