There are many things I despise about Truss. One thing in particular is that she had two daughters and she supports Trump, a convicted sex offender, a misogynist, a belittler of women who takes away the rights of women and girls.
I despise her utterly.

Truss is deluded, talentless with an exaggerated sense of her self worth. Imagine living with her!
Liz Truss, the world’s most tone deaf politician: "We're going to talk about what needs to be done. We're going to look at the Trump revolution and see how this can be achieved in Britain."

This is rather like me saying I’m in “the final stretch” of my plan to become an Olympic 100m champion. I’ve got some new trainers and a nice t-shirt. I only need to do the last bit where I run 100m in 10 seconds. Everything else is sorted.
Keith Kellogg, Trump’s so-called envoy on Ukraine, says talks are “in the final stretch,” but admits the hardest part remains. Control over Donetsk, Luhansk, parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant are still unresolved.

A good point - my Truss-Catastrofuckup-Surcharge works out to £4,800 a year and I certainly didn’t have Mel Stride or Nigel Farage sprinting to my defence.
Nobody equates the £2,500 charge to the likely additional cost to the owner of a 2% increase in their mortgage repayments - y'know, what Liz Truss did with nary a peep from these householders.

Thank goodness for that. No more Farage on the BBC.
Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

Yep. Kids, pedestrians and cyclists unpredictable? Sure they are. So put your phone away, slow down and pay attention. Drivers have a solemn and absolute duty to not kill people with their cars. Don’t want that job? Don’t drive.

The average IQ of both parties just went up.
Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".
He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later
