She’s now reverting back to saying she’s a conservative because children at her school were left behind. Small point. The Conservatives were in power for the entirety of her school education.

I can think of someone else who told that lie

Who?

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Liz Truss is a repetitive robot

In your world Otis, no one could ever come close to Ed Davey.

Truss saying she became a Conservative because her school was shit under the Tories.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Thanks to Tugendhat for making Sneer seem like a vindaloo guzzling renegade

 

[wingy]

Where would Kemi's vote go tomorrow when she's only 15
behind Truss.
If her followers are of the same ilk I wouldn't expect it.
Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine.

Truss saying she became a Conservative because her school was shit under the Tories.

Saying that I want her birth certificate checked, she’s never only 46 !

Ha. You have picked up on a Grendel quip I see.

I don't support the Lib Dems. I never have.

At yoga perhaps

She’s got some full on grandma features.

 

[skybluetony176]

She turned the Thatcher back up to 11 at the start of her closing statement but finished on about a 5.

Don’t tell me there’s nudes of her circulating on whats app ?!

 

[skybluetony176]

Got a feeling Mordaunts chances of making the final 2 are slipping away.

 

[PVA]

Truss is just so, so bad.

Threatening to call Putin out. Lavrov made her look an absolute fool.

 

[Otis]

You just know there will be don't you.

Genuinely do not get at all where Labour is going with this nonsense? Imagine doubling down on such a dangerous myth (spending must be funded by tax) which will ultimately be a dead end street come the election

Fucking hell she’s like Boris in a dress.

I am wondering about my earlier comments about her, though I suppose all of the candidates are trying to hit the Tory sweet spot and part of that is blaming fundamentally opposed statements on the EU.

What's Sunak bothered about? He's been doing quite well! Or is it quit while you're ahead?

Probably just can't be bothered - its down to 4 and he's in the last 2 whatever happens

They might be doing it for the perceived good of the party. You can’t have daily bashing of other people in cabinet/government and that’s how they’re set up. I’d prefer an Andrew Neill type interview with each of them, giving each of them a fair crack to get their message across

Theyre kind of irrelevant anyway as it’s not as if we can all vote (well, you might as member I guess )

 

[CCFCSteve]

Ps Citigroup have been pretty damning about Truss economic plans

I'd be down for an in depth interview... although Truss's might get complaints to Ofcom for misrepresentation

 

[PVA]

Probably because the two debates so fa have been an absolute car crash for the Tories.

They think they've found an 'in' with middle Englanders in appearing more financially responsible. Though I don't entirely blame them when so many people still believe George Osborne's lie over Labour causing the GFC

I think it’s two things. One Labour’s biggest weakness with voters is still the idea they’ll spend too much. Two, it’s stoking the fires of the blue on blue fighting about tax cuts.

I get the want to rewrite the economic argument, but it’s nigh on impossible and at least getting people to see tax cuts as spending like they do direct government spending is a start.

Do you think it's the correct time to do that?

The message it sends to the public is: "Sorry, we can't do much about your abysmal public services nor can we do anything about the level of tax you pay as it all needs to be funded you know."

 

[PVA]

Sums it up quite nicely

 

[chiefdave]

Hope we're building lots of houses as its seems the younger generation have realised the only reason they were struggling to get on their housing ladder was their Netflix subscription

Honestly? I don’t think Labour gets elected on spending promises it’s first term.

A good article on Truss’ school experience claims from a former pupil and Guardian hack

I grew up where Liz Truss did, attended the same school. She’s not telling you the truth | Martin Pengelly

What does it say about the foreign secretary that she is so prepared to misrepresent her education and denigrate those who helped her, asks Guardian US news editor Martin Pengelly?

It’s doing Truss no favours whatsoever, she’s polling bottom for performance in pretty much every demographic you care to split the polling into. Sunak doesn’t need to bother. Mordaunt doesn’t seem to be able to get a word in and neither does Tugenhat.

it might actually have to show some plans at some point - I’ve not seen one senior labour politician say they will reverse the NI hike as an example. They all oppose it but will all take it

Yeah of course they will, but like the school catch-up policy and the fuel bill policy it’ll be funded in the “raise taxes to pay for stuff” model, not Fernando’s MMT mode.
