Sure she meant “You’ve got to bugger-up the economy a little”.

Omg omg omg. This has got to be a spoof?

zedayseekay.bsky.social•103 days ago

The real question about Truss is how did we all suspend disbelief for a character that was just so entirely badly written ?

agaland2dogs.bsky.social•103 days ago

Same, tho the mental picture of Truss 'sashaying' 'flirtatiously' makes me really quite ill.

rob-baron.bsky.social•103 days ago

Truss had a level of confidence in her own judgement and abilities that is only possessed by the truly stupid.

If this were Willy Wonka, she would be Veruca Salt.

Just wow

Gambling wrecklessly with the public purse as usual

I fear Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves may not adopt the ‘live a little’ approach over the next few years, dull times.

oddballwoofwoof.bsky.social•103 days ago

I dream of living in dull times again.

I was a politics student back in the days when people thought politics was ‘boring’ - different times.

You know when you listen and see someone and you think there's something not quite right about that person...

steve151999.bsky.social•103 days ago

I just read the article apparently there were popular bits in her budget…..

kevinmagoo72.bsky.social•103 days ago

Same, but with Truss dressed as a fairy princess.

mattukpolitics.bsky.social•103 days ago

I can actually imagine her saying that last part.

And yet, remember The Daily Mail printed this:

My favourite so far of @shippersunbound.bsky.social reads from his new book.

And the lettuce?

all-a-mort.bsky.social•103 days ago

She'd fit in the Republican Party in the US perfectly, which is I suppose a fairly damning statement.

janpelorat.bsky.social•103 days ago

Like a badly scripted episode of Knot's Landing?

tompipersson.bsky.social•103 days ago

I still have this to read - just 80 pages to go in my current book.

Can hardly wait...

wokestudies.bsky.social•103 days ago

Absurdly funny and not a little tragic for the victims of Liz Lettuce.

dall.bsky.social•103 days ago

Well, this doesn’t surprise me. I have always thought of her as emotionally immature and intellectually second rate. What does it tell us about the Conservatives that she became PM? When anyone criticises Starmer’s government, please remember this.

I really didn't want to imagine Lizz Truss sashaying this Sunday morning.
