Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted September 9, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 How annoyed do we think Johnson is on missing out on being PM when the Queen died? He’d have loved being an important part of all the pomp and circumstance that’s going to follow. Trying to look all statesmanlike at an historic moment. The parallels with Churchill being the first PM serving during her reign that would undoubtedly have been made, probably by him… Just imagining him seething about it, it’s hard not to smile. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Edwards read out his verbose blather, that he clearly had up his sleeve for the occasion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2022 We all knew Truss was an appalling orator, but her statement on the Queen last night was like listening to a children's play performed by particularly untalented kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised how well she did in PMQs the day before as I expected so little. Think the nerves got to her yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Truss is probably the worst public speaker PM in my life time. She is truly awful. Mordaunt looks more like a PM than her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- although (and I've mentioned this before) the Times Radio focus group episodes that Matt Chorley does every couple of weeks are always really good for this stuff. They did one post-new PM and pre-new King, and pretty much the whole group was: Voted Tory 2019. Wouldnt vote Johnson over Starmer. Hadn't heard of Truss before Monday. Would vote Truss over Starmer.

My worry is they know they are dead in the GE so will run the country into the ground making 1 final splurge of tax payers billions into donors banks to make the job of the next government as good as impossible.
