    lol she's going to be absolutely rotten and gaff-prone to the n'th degree - the howling dogs of the party will turn on her soon enough. Her and Keith at PMQ's is going to be pure misery - a Daily Mail cartoon made flesh and a Carphone Warehouse manager.

    Rishi thought he had it in the bag but blew his load too early and tried to claw it back with barrel-scraping Tory pandering. As a great man once said - if you're going to stab Caesar in the back make sure you're not holding a plastic spoon.

        Does she just like talk openly about using the poors as blood bags for hundred year old earls and dukes and shit?

          Not exactly but for years she talked about her success being because she was the only one to really apply herself in a rough Leeds school. It turned out it was a pretty prestigious and successful school that scored higher than almost any in the area.

          She co-authored a book/manifesto with a bunch of other now leading Tory MPs over a decade ago called Britain Unchained that basically argued that social welfare had made the lazy poors too soft and we should get back to no minimum wage and a 70+ hour work week.

          She also seems to be very determined to get rid of EU human rights regs about the working week and wages.

          As for actual gaffes, she's just thick as pig shit. :PIGPOOPBALLS:

      It's like digging through the dirt of your garden. Every scoop deeper yields more worms.

      Edit: but worms are much more important to the world than the prime ministers of the UK.

      It's the iron law of bourgeois electoralism: Every government is worse than the previous.

      If you're in the UK even that is going to be a struggle now, since like 70% of pubs are expected to close during winter

        Are typical pub owners small government conservatives like we have in the states? Cause it's funny when shit hits the fan they go running to the government at light speed.

          My local is pretty lefty. Our Tory MP complains about it on Facebook, we covered the local football team kit in rainbow flags as sponsors and the stands in anti-fascist flags, it gives an emergency services discount to everyone except the cops, has done Palestine fundraisers, and we make fun of the obnoxious Lib Dem councillor that comes in sometimes and drinks on his own. It's not a co-op or anything, but about as good as you'd hope from a business designed to get you drunk for money.

    Tory Party doing the political equivalent of what the rest of us will be this winter - reaching for dead wood in the hope that burning it will get them through the winter.

    I was going to call Liz Truss becoming PM before Johnson was even ousted, so I'm going to go on the record here and state that Chrystia Freeland will be the next liberal Canadian PM.

      There is absolutely no fucking way this doesn't happen. The media here is literally priming us for it with all these stories about how terribly she's being harassed and cyberbullied by the dirty proles. As usual, we're fucked :agony-yehaw: :kkkanada:
