"You could argue, that relatively speaking, she might be less corrupt than Boris. Maybe." Remains to be seen, but early signs are bad. She already milked the system for v expensive flights + meals, by all accounts. With new PM opportunities, who knows how much she'll take? | |||

"She is likely to be better than Sunak" Aha. Is this the 1st tentative support for Truss on the thread? | |||

"I really hope she makes a positive difference to our nation, especially with difficult times ahead. If she does we all benefit, if she doesn't she won't be around for long.

"I'm just curious. Hay will pretend to be. That goes without saying. And Joe Lycett, famously. But is anyone who isn't trolling happy about our new incoming PM?" No. He seems purely popularity driven and doesn't really seem to have a grasp of anything beyond her current sentence. Sunak appears more competent even though not especially trustworthy. I would prefer competence for the near term crisis we are heading into. Energy and economy. Interestingly, she didn't win by that much in the end: 81,326 votes to 60,399 47% of eligible Tory members. That doesn't meet the new threshold that unions have to meet for strike action. Something to ponder. | |||

Not happy but then it was a choice of sunak or truss so would not have been happy either way. Definitely more UN happy it's truss. Do you think she is better or worse than Boris? | |||

"I'm perfectly happy that Truss is PM. But she needs to start enacting the radical policies the government was elected for, not just more of the decades long failed Big State/Big Corporate groupthink. Slash business and personal taxes and massively reduce public sector expenditure Total reform of health services Confront the self serving public sector unions, particularly the medical and teaching unions Start sending illegal immigrants back to France, by force if necessary Scrap the NI protocol Dump the ECHR Dump the Net Zero lunacy Scrap the BBC licence fee" Don't we need to get full control of the judiciary so that they do what the government tells them to? Also Parliament and the Lord's should always vote 100% in favour of Government policy because the public voted for all of these things. Can we have concentration camps for people who disagree too? Some natty black uniforms for those in charge? | |||

" Couldn't agree more, if there is another Scottish independence referendum I will definitely be travelling north to support the SNP's campaign. The sooner Scotland leaves the UK the better. The rest of us will be richer and we can all sit back and laugh as the SNP turns Scotland into a corrupt third world shithole. Which it is already half achieving inside the UK. Alas I fear that another referendum will not be forthcoming. And even if it were, Sturgeon would lose it by a bigger majority than the last time. | |||

"Not overly chuffed but I think we should give her a chance and her 1st announcement that she is likely to make about freezing energy bills till January is a good start. To be fair she will shut that crazy crack pot sturgeon up but any chosen leader would have frozen the bills including boris, the freeze bill idea came from the energy company’s not the Tory’s " Boris never really gave any indication of how he would solve this crisis or make people's lives better. I'm really not that bothered who came up with the idea as long as it's implemented. | |||

"Not overly chuffed but I think we should give her a chance and her 1st announcement that she is likely to make about freezing energy bills till January is a good start. " Good if that happens but how will it be funded? Two stories doing the rounds. One involves increased taxation over the long term which basically amounts to tax payers subsidising energy companies. So the only real winner in the end is shareholders. | |||

To be honest things are in a crisis situation and I think it will have to be like it was during the 1st lockdown and we will have to deal with how to pay for it later because otherwise people just aren't going to be able to get through this Winter. Personally I believe the priority is getting people through the we can look at building prosperity. | |||

"Anyway! I really do hope that she can bring some stability back to the country and for that matter the conservative party. Hopefully she will also have a good team around her and even though I am not a fan of the Tory party there are some very talented people within it who I think would do very good jobs. " I hope they get it right and support the country too, help ease any impacts coming down the line for possibly millions of people. | |||

"You lot voted in Boris Johnson and he stayed for a good while. Based on that I don't think anyone is qualified to judge who should be pm next. Lost all faith in society years ago. Just accept whoever's next and get on with your lives. Not like it matters anyway" Actually, most people didn't vote for Boris Johnson. They just got the largest number of seats in Parliament. We are stuck with the consequences though. One of which is Liz Truss as our new Prime Minister... | |||

"It’s early days but I think she will be far better than Boris (although he did set a very low bar) " I don't think she'll be better. However I think she will get away with less. Johnson's fake persona protected him for a long time among his deluded followers. | |||

" Her campaign was paid for by BP and pro-fracking groups and anti-science climate change deniers. She used to work for Shell. It's not looking good for the environment or the country. But on the upside, oil companies and going to get richer. | |||

Relentlessly pursuing the Net Zero Fantasy doesn't seem to have worked out well for the country or indeed the West so far. I appreciate that if you are wedded to the green ideology that you have little choice but to argue that the only answer is "more and faster renewables" but I have a feeling that people are going to get more and more doubtful about that approach, which doesn't seem to have much grounding in the real world and isn't producing results. Personally I don't care what drives my car or my heating system, provided it works. But since we've been pursuing Net Zero all we have are bigger energy bills, an offer of electric cars that are expensive and don't really work, an offer of heat pumps that are expensive and don't really work, and some vague promise of lots of "green jobs" at some indeterminate point in the future. If you do want a "green" future I think you really need to focus on perhaps a more graduated and pragmatic approach that people can actually see benefits them at some underlying value, and accepting that we will be using fossil fuels in some way for decades to come, rather than a load of deluded fantasy. | |||

Lol, Do you actually believe this nonsense or are you just saying the most outlandish conspiracy you can think of? I hope you're trolling, because if not, on a serious note. It's kind of saddening that people with such strong opinions are so utterly out of touch with reality. | |||
