I wouldn't normally watch her speech for a Kings ransom. However, if it's reported to be as bad as expected I'll watch the dopey pillock and enjoy every moment.

This isn't the right thread for this, I know. But this new Telegraph Politics logo is... erm... well, it just seems that the branding design team may want to take a step back.

Are there many well-adjusted, normal people out there who still think voting Tory is a good thing?

Id put it this way - for a paper that has a readership that is still obsessed with ww2, it's amazing that no-one at any stage of approving that logo noticed certain colour scheme similarities with the famous symbol of the baddies...

Maybe their obsession with WW2 is because they think the wrong side won. A very right wing newspaper is to all intents and purposes bordering on the fascist.

That logo is from the New Telegraph which is a Nigerian newspaper and not the Daily Telegraph of UK origin.

I'm no lover of the Tory party or press, but that is just poor reporting worthy of them

To be fair, the Nazis were quite good at design and branding.

Their poll ratings now slighrly lower tyan UKIPs at their height. I reckon it's the same lot just a few have died off.

Truss is now more unpopular than Corbyn ever was, apparently.

My only worry is that she’s possibly so bad that she’ll actually be out of the job by December, and the Tories will somehow contrive to get an intelligent bumhole in, rather than a profoundly stupid bumhole.

The fonts used in the headers for both the Mail and Telegraph always seemed a little bit dodgy to me, as it was.

Ok . Let us be clear . It’s extremely similar to the WW2 Nazi swastika flag.
