Title: Liz Truss Accused of Running Scared.
Post by: Raven on August 29, 2022, 09:18:55 PM
Seems she prefers to preach to the converted. Doesn't want to answer close scrutiny questions. Hmmm why not, if Sunak can do it why not herself.

The leftwaffe fear her much more than the other chap. Sunak will be a distant memory very soon.

She did take part in a 'face the audience' question time GB News, which Sunak managed to avoid.  I imagine like most of us she's aware of the BBC's agenda  :grin: so why should she bother ?

IMO, she needs to answer a lot of questions and most of them very awkward ones. At the moment she is talking to the converted. She has yet to face the rest of us who have questions she won't like. She's in for a very rough ride if she gets the job, plus of course there will be those MPs who will be planning to remove her, seems to be the done thing in the Tory Party these days. I don't envy her one wee bit.

I don't envy her either, it was bad enough for Boris facing Covid, but she'll have more on her plate.

She must have seen the Tommy Robinson interview & she's far too intelligent to let herself be set up by the BBC.

Sunak can do it because he's not the next PM.

Liz Truss is already our next PM, as has been decided by the Tory Party members ballot, it's just that the result won't be released, officially, until 12:30 hrs on the 5th September.

Therefore she hasn't got the time to piss about talking to Nick Robinson as she's already having to start working through her PM's in tray.

She'll need a damned long time to work thought that. Everything seems to be broke. Including half the population soon.

I think a good bellwether will be the sales cigarettes & iPhones after the 1st October.

I had thought of lowering it even further by questioning the need for the bottle but thought better of it so I won't mention that.

But, sadly, some people just aren't grateful for these life-saving tips.

I wonder if a hernia support manufacturer will capitalise on the new PM & produce one called the Liz Truss?
