The Tories have a weird obsession with Liz Truss though now that Sunak is out. I think they're learning the wrong lessons from America and leaning too much into the culture war issues rather than economics though. Recently they seem to want to talk about trans people and Channel 4 rather than the cost of living.

 Competent?  You've raised the bar for applicants now!  
 The obsession with 'must he a Brexiteer/and or bonkers' rules out the few that do have any talent. Nadine Dorries/Priti Patel/ the 'Hon member for the 18th century' are  the best they've got !
