I'm sure they have our interests at heart.
Liz is a f*cking calamity and I’ll disagree with her on almost everything but I’m pretty sure she got into this for the right reasons.

But why the f*** is Sunak going for this? A multi, multi millionaire, soon to be a multi billionaire when his father in law snuffs it. Why does he want this aggro for a measly £150k -£200k?
What are “the right reasons” why Truss is going for the job?

Also, Rishi has a combination of "small man" syndrome and, to some extent, has married-up. Being PM gives him a certain status.

I don't get it. A multi-billionaire is more powerful than a mere prime minister.

Only someone who has never had to suffer the humiliation of being only a chancellor, and never the PM, could say such a thing.

Also, the relevant comparison isn't with the daughter, but with the mega rich guy. That's who Rishi will really compare himself.

She's not... terrible. But she is a poor public performer. And the series of staged photo shoots have been crass and cringe inducing at best.

But, of the two candidates, I'd suggest that she is the least worse.

Listening to the two Tory leadership contestants, the things they are saying are frightening. We are heading towards full blown fascism .
Truss was saying she is going to cut public service workers pay. This at a time of cost of living crisis. Horrendous

I see that Truss wants pay differentials in various parts of the country. I thought the Tory mantra was all about “levelling up.”

She seems entirely determined to break up the Union - maybe she's got it confused with Unions that represent their members. I've no love for wee Nichola and less for Swinney, but he makes a good point.

I know the Tories are crooked and untrustworthy, but at least they kept that nutter Corbyn out of Number 10
