You think his answers about keeping tax up to fund public services is austerity? The others all want to slash and burn - he's the only one who wants to tax and spend!

don't think he wants to spend

Given how he’s basically said it was gut wrenching to spend more money during the pandemic I’m not convinced he’s in the tax and spend club.

Not sure what he says and what he will do quite correspond. He said previously about his desire to balance the books. That says austerity to me.

that is a low starting point, still I'll give him the fact he is the only one who is being honest.

the rest just want to out tory each other

I read it as he wants to up taxes up to pay for what has already been spent, don't think there's much new money to come from him

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Is that you in the background? Explains a lot to be fair.

Grenners, it seems that you live rent free in O' Day's head. Probably sharing his bedsit.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Is there anything these pricks won't try and turn into a culture war?

Let’s hope he has a heart attack then so he can understand the need to take appropriate steps next time . Twat

But you can balance the books by raising taxes. And why on earth in a Tory leadership contest would he lie about keeping them high, only to cut them?!?

They certainly do!

Tugenhadt coming across the best (mostly by not being a complete idiot). Nice little dig at Sunak there

He'll be gone next round though

Truss is so bad

Tories think they can balance the books with "sensible fiscal policy" i.e. raising taxes and cutting services

Most know that will destroy demand but still they think it works

 

[David O'Day]

wonder if one of them will pledge to sink the belgrano again

 

[wingy]

Just so full of holes.

See them all sweat when the final question went to a trans woman. The relief on their faces when the question was about the environment.

Liz Truss is only 46 years old, why does she dress like a pensioner?

To be fair, he always said he would cut taxes, just not Immediately. They are already programmed in for 2 years time.

More likely that a sympathetic will try and help her next time she can't find her way out of a room.

Pretty much 50% of the population are women and women seem to be very up in arms about it all.

Most women i know don't support the JK Rowlings approach to this issue, and support trans rights. Mumsnet us not representative of most women.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

There was a polarisation in a minority of the population, most didn't really care. The media gave far greater weight to it (Farage got the kind of airtime even pre referendum that any other party with no MPs just wouldn't get) and made it more of an issue than it is or was.

Absolutely. Even the BBC were really culpable in this.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Well if Mordaunt gets through it seems the membership will pick her. For Labour you’d want Truss-for the country probably not.

Short term Truss would be a disaster but surely it wouldn't last long.

Surprised she came out in support of nuclear power mind

She seemed to going for a Thatcher vibe to my mind.

That's exactly what she's been going for recently. Badly.

It's not about supporting trans rights though. Surely everyone supports trans rights.

It's about trans men "becoming" women and being able to gain access to women's toilets and changing rooms etc.

PM said that trans women are women and trans men are men. That's a very dangerous stance to hold.

I've just sat here and thought


Nothing would make me wonder what is wrong with Britain more than if the Tory Party won the next GE

They really shouldn't should they. It says much more about the opposition than it does about them doesn't it

The transgender obsession with them is fucking weird.
