    Liz Truss? Liz Truss the PM whose lasting contribution was going out before a cabbage? That Liz Truss? The Liz Truss who flip-flopped on a major policy that saw her biggest supporter ousted from the Exchequership faster than a head of lettuce rotted? Why the fuck would anyone take her seriously beyond her shelf life?

      That would be the Liz Truss that added thousands to everyone’s mortgages. It’s amazing the shit that the British will take from politicians.

    fight back against the “left wing extremists” she claims have taken over Britain’s institutions.

    She is either cynical and pandering to extremists or fully detached from reality herself.

      When you are that far to the right, everything looks leftist. They can’t see the centre where it is because it looks so far left to them.

      I’m afraid she isn’t wrong about their existence. People ashamed of their voting. People who don’t believe they voted for anything but their own self interest. People whose family and friends “won’t understand”. Shy Tories have long been a thing.
