Chindie Posted February 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2023 Left wing economic establishment. She 'ran' the country. She had the keys to the kingdom. 6 weeks in charge, 2 of which she couldn't do anything thanks to a dead nonageneraian, and she still did her best to crash the economy. There's an article on the New Statesman this week saying she's the future of the Tories. Here's hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Unbelievable, front page on the BBC her excuses. These tax cuts tanked our economy and she still appears to want another go, risking it all. The markets are the judge and jury, once they turn against an idea or principal it's game over. I'm sorry but the lunatics really have taken over the country. Edited February 5, 2023 by tinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted February 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2023 I've not had chance to read it yet. I'm assuming it says 'Sorry I f**ked the economy in 4 weeks, sorry, thank you, sorry, bye"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 F me. It was only a few months ago. We all saw it happen. If the learning she has taken away from the experience is that it was all someone else's fault then she really is lost. Totally and utterly adrift from reality. She belongs more in a Waco Texas cult than Downing Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 To summarise her 4,000 words: Her ideas were never given a chance, she still thinks they were right, but she’d do things differently if she could go back.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted February 5, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's incredible to watch, an amazing time for the country in some ways - I think 2023 will be a year that will be studied by historians with amused interest long into the future. A party in such incredible denial that they and their supporters are now positioning themselves behind horses in a leadership race having rejected the man they thought best suited - The Mail are pushing Boris as the saviour, Truss is getting favourable coverage on the BBC, Sunak appearing weak with Zahawi jettisoned and Raab teetering on the edge - and they genuinely, genuinely believe that the problem is the public persona of their leader. A decade of decay and several years of lying, stealing, cheating and taking has left the country in tatters, our public services creaking, our key workers out on the streets, record energy prices sat next to record energy profits, a cost of living crisis, billionaire Tories with billions of public money, squandered, squirrelled away and embezzled in tax havens, complicated company structures and yachts - and yet, still, they think if they can find the right character, they'll be okay. They're a burglar caught in the front room, with a shotgun pointed at them, asking "Is it my tie?" The levels of denial are extraordinary. To not understand that the country thinks that Boris is a lying, cheating, crook, that Truss is a dangerous idiot, that Sunak is anything but a weak profiteer, that Raab is a psychotic bully, that Braverman is a heartless and cruel danger, is almost beyond belief - the misjudgement of mood, of feeling and of the voters is so preposterous that any fiction writer would discount it. And yet here we are, a party under some sort of collective spell, a mass mental disease that says we don't need to change, we just need a better front man, is about to collapse to the most one sided defeat in British political history, whilst wondering if things could have been so much different if they'd just brought Boris back. It's baffling, fascinating and extraordinary in equal measure, we are living with the most ridiculous governmental term in our history, let's hope they don't do so much damage we can't recover. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the type of clear leadership we got at the time. Seems that leadership these days means something completely different. I'm pretty sure that leadership traditionally meant tanking responsibility and protecting those under your control. Now it seems to mean blaming everything that goes wrong on everyone but yourself, and throwing all your colleagues under a bus. We live in strange old times.
