Truss is just the wrong person for the world stage at PM level. Can't hold herself on the podium and does whatever it takes to further here career rather than speak from conviction.
I hope to attend a hustings event in London shortly and would like to put to her (if she's in the last two) questions about energy independence, food production and where's all the money coming from.

You can probably guess her responses:
- Will agree we need to develop more energy independence and will probably go along with a small Welsh nuclear power station to tick the box but don't expect anything much else.
- Food production - the UK lost its self-sufficiency on this a long time ago so don't expect much except here especially given the difficulty of getting people to pick crops.
- Where's all the money coming from? The never never, obviously but expect a nod to telling the audience what they want to hear - a more dynamic economy freed from the stifling EU legislation generating more tax revenue with talk of green investments.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
Gloves officially off. Read this as "desperate last chance attempt to stop Truss"
Tory Party continues to unravel ...

Don't think she'll be in Margaret Hilda Truss's cabinet somehow.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
It looks like the Penny Mordaunt camp are conceding defeat.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
All the candidates are a gift to Starmer but a liability for the country. The Conservative Party has been cleansed of any leadership talent and now needs time out of power to get its act together.

This is the best result for the country providing we can endure the 2 years remaining of this shit show, if Labour don't bring in proportional representation though then they are not acting in the best interests of the vast majority of voters in the country.

Whenever l think of Liz Truss l think about Ian Duncan Smith, William Hague and Michael Howard.
If l was a Tory voter l would be hoping Rishi Sunak wins.

I think the Labour and Conservative Parties will act in their interests to get re-elected so suspect that they won't change the system that's been serving them well.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader
The Conservative supporters on here have gone very silent ..

YouGov survey of 725 party members over Monday and Tuesday had Ms Truss beating Mr Sunak by 54 per cent to 35 per cent,

I am guessing they are wondered what the f**k their Party has just done!

It's not actually served Labour that well, out of government for pretty much three quarters of the last 40+ years
