In Liz We Truss?

I would love to offer an opinion but I've learnt my lesson.


Last time round I was so sure that they'd never even let Boris through to the final pair, that I went to two different bookies and asked for the odds on "anyone but Boris"? Neither would give me a price.


Only money he's ever saved me.

That's one way of getting away from them. If only Sophie Rayworth had thought of it last night...

She went over to offer help which is another natural human reaction.

It was kind of humanising but she still had to look to her right to check what to do.

Could this get any wackier? Now Sunak wants to detain and "re-educate" anyone who seeks to vilify Britain without defining the terms of what that actually means. It might be a bit expensive if they have to lock up 50% of Northern Ireland and possibly even more in Scotland. Granted it's aimed at potential terrorists, but it's deliberately so vague that it could be read as anyone who speaks out of turn can be locked up on a whim. And I thought Truss Dorries Moggy and Patel were on the batsh*t crazy team.

He has implied that they're pretty much only going to be bothered with Muslims.

It’s just another poorly thought out soundbite aimed squarely at appealing to the ‘old and bald’ that make up the core of the Tory party.

Equally funny as Truss’ spectacularly stupid ‘let’s have a go at public sector workers’ policy which didn’t even last the day - though she insists that she cancelled it because it was ‘misrepresented’, not that it was unworkable and moronic…

I know this is stating the obvious but Labour needs to sort itself out and I'm not sure it can. This winter is going to feel like the 1970s. Something very dark could emerge from that without serious adult, sensible, level-headed leadership.

Labour scraping into power won't change anything unless they change their attitude to working with other parties, get rid of FPTP, abolish the House of Lords and provide proper devolution for England's regions. Otherwise it'll be back to square one within a few years with the Tories back in power.

As Labour aren't going to be in power this winter there's a limit to what them showing sensible, level headed leadership can achieve and yes Starmer is displaying those things. His issues lie elsewhere.

Arguably if anything Labour need to be bolder about what measures they are calling for in an attempt to pressure the government into doing something.

It would be nice if the government could wake up at some point and realise bitching about wokeness is not a solution to anyone's problems.

I believe it is the same when you ask what a man is, impossible to define legally and not as simple as first thought in biological terms.

This is why it has become a gotcha question as there is no universal definition, is a man who in an accident lost his penis still a man, there are hermaphrodites who are assigned a gender at birth but by definition are intersex and many who are transgender clearly state their ‘mind’ is a different gender to their body. I for one cannot imagine the bravery of a transgender person who transitions knowing they will be vilified for being who they are.

Have to admit I am happy when Starmer is being criticised for this as it shows the lack of any real criticism and shows the depth of thought he gave when answering, he is unable in law or gender to give a black and white answer to what is in reality a very complex question, a great trait for someone who has ambition of power.


Please be kind if you disagree with me, transgender people are not cannon fodder in your faux ‘woke’ war and have already made the most difficult decision imaginable and do not deserve being a Political football.
