Apparently she's going to do a 25 minute speech and will come on stage to a 90's classic song. What song would you choose for her?

I'll start with the Manic Street Preachers - If you tolerate this then your children will be next.

Perhaps the "King of wishful thinking" by Go West?

I felt "Suicide blonde" by INXS was too pertinent.

Seems some folk are more concerned with the optics of a conference than with a scorched earth policy being followed by a bunch of incompetents.

And notice that the trains did not strike during the Labour Party conference so that their members could get to and fro but did not afford the Tory’s the same consideration.

Pretty much all those who voted Tory at the last election didn't vote for this idiot and her right wing puppet masters..

One of the most insipid speeches from any leader at any conference, purely sound bites and no substance ..

I find myself in the very rare position of agreeing with mad nads..

Well… actually… you can blame the queen for this one

they were originally due to strike on one of the queens mourning days, but cancelled that out of respect, and to reschedule they need to give 21 days intention to strike….

Assuming that the 21 day rule was brought in by the tories, then the conservatives were hit by a home goal.

So now it's the Queen's fault? Maybe a transport strike wouldn't have been so effective on a day when virtually nothing was happening. Perhaps it wasn't really about respect afterall!

Tory fan boys whining and moaning about strikes during their conference aside, Liz truss’s speech didn’t say anything but soundbites. I think if she announced policy in her speech, the markets would have crashed.

She has no mandate, the British people didn’t vote for her, and her own backbenchers smell blood again.

She is like the tories own Corbyn.

Cannot wait till she gets booted out of office, hopefully soon.

The voting population of England is 39000000, Truss was voted in by 81000 Tory members - that’s not what I would call a mandate. If the right wing libertarians in the con party let her run free then they will be out of power for years to come

That's 81000 more than voted for Gordon Brown to become PM.

So she is taking a completely different path to Boris, introducing policies which were never in the Con’s manifesto which makes her illegitimate and part of a libertarian right wing coup. The public did not vote for these policies and she has no mandate to pursue them.

Queen died on the 8th… they were due to strike on the 14th but this day was the 1st day the Queen body was back in London (taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster hall to then lie in state)

They call off strike out of respect… government law states they have to give 21 days notice, the first Tuesday they could have taken industrial action was the 5th October

I never said it was the queens fault, you need to take into consideration the fact of what happened…. Stop being rude and putting words in my mouth when all I did is I just gave you a legal explanation

The public didn't vote for CoViD either, but it happened and now we have to deal with the results. I don't recall being asked to vote on whether Russia should invade Ukraine, but that happened too.

No government has a mandate for any policy unless they go back to the public every time the global situation changes. I'll let you guess how well that would turn out.

Half and half. I meant that the populace didn't get a view on whether those things happened, or whether we should respond, or what the nature of the response might be.

I think we all agree that both of those things merited a response, and for someone to say that the government has no mandate for it is just finding reasons to complain.


"Just checking and being pedantic "

Pedantry is a good thing, especially when it helps to make a position clearer.

Why on earth would the unions strike during the Labour conference? It's not Labour standing in the way of a resolution to the dispute.
