The next PM...

[Udayana]

Did anyone else watch the Beeb's "Have I got news for Boris" last night?
Probably one of HIGNFY's better offerings.

Made a point to watch, but not many real laughs!
 

[SqueakyVoice]

Well, I'm  going to buy loads of French cheese now.

It's Liz

Another skidmark on the Y Fronts of British history.

We will deliver, we will deliver, we will deliver.

I wouldn't even trust her to deliver a paper round.

[Gordon]

I'm delighted: she's absolutely fucking useless but should, hopefully, do an extremely good job of losing the next election.

[Nearly Sane]

As well as lamb, chicken and fish?

The problem is that's 2 years away and her corrupt incompetence will bring misery to millions.

...she's  clearly delighted by pork markets.
She might work out how many fingers fish have by buying them from Birds Eye.

[SteveH]

I wouldn't truss her to run a whelk stall, but as Gordon says, she

should, hopefully, do an extremely good job of losing the next election.

At 57:43 closer than many anticipated, which creates further difficulties for Truss - she only received support of 30% of Tory MPs and now hasn't received a thumping endorsement from the membership either - both Johnson and Cameron won two thirds of the membership and both were also the preferred candidate for MPs.

[SteveH]

I wonder if she'll give fishy Rishi a job in her cabinet.

[Nearly Sane]

I wonder if she'll give fishy Rishi a job in her cabinet.

I think he's said he wouldn't take one.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

I wonder if she'll give fishy Rishi a job in her cabinet.

Not sure about that. I hear she is being advised by Hugh Briss.

[Gordon]

True - ideally some sort of crisis would bring an election forward but, and whatever this crisis turned out to be, people would be damaged in some way.

The Tory party disgust me in terms of what they've done, what they say they want to do, and what they stand for - and regarding those who vote for them I shall refrain from comment in case I have to ban myself.

I have heard that the SNP is preparing for a snao election to be called but I think that's more as a scenario planning in case there is a Truss bounce 

[Roses]

I can't stand Truss, although I doubt it's possible to do much worse than Johnson, but anything is possible.

[SteveH]

I can't stand Truss, although I doubt it's possible to do much worse than Johnson, but anything is possible.

I cant stand any Tory, with one or two exceptions: Edwina Currie, who stood up to be counted on the issue of equalising the age of consent for gays; The late Earl of Arran, whom I once met, who was a major mover in legalising gay relationships in the 60s, and was also an animal rights campaigner; Anna Soubry, who committed political suicide for her Europeanism; and... err...that's about it. Can't stand any of the present shower.

[Anchorman]

They chose the worst of two evils to further steer the sinking ship onto the iceberg.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Fuck off Boris.

[SweetPea]

Does anyone know Liz Truss's stance on Scotland leaving the union?

[Gordon]

Does anyone know Liz Truss's stance on Scotland leaving the union?

Like all other Tory fuckwit PMs of late, I've no doubt she'll bleat on about the 'precious union' and ignore that the Scottish electorate have rejected her party and their Brexit madness and, according to reports, she will obstruct and also try to gerrymander a second referendum.

I can't see her changing the fortune of the Tories in Scotland in any positive sense and, hopefully, she will make them even more irrelevant to the electorate in Scotland thatn they already are - roll on the next general election, since it brings the prospect of there being no Tory MPs in Scotland (as per the 1997 general election).

Who cares?
We didn't vote for her, and we haven't elected her party in majority since 1955.
If she tries to tough it out, it only strengthens the YES side; if she tries concessions, we'll take that as a crack in the dam and help the flood gates to open.

[Nearly Sane]

The latest wizard wheeeze that her camp came out with is to say a referendum could be held but that to pass it would need 50% of the total electorate.
