Imagine the constitutional cluster-pork which ensues if a plane containing both the outgoing and incoming Prime Minister goes down? It's completely sensible. Queen takes over if that happens.

Oh - BBC had my hopes up saying in period between Bozza going and Truss being appointed that Queen Liz is in charge. I guess that doesn't apply once she's appointed Truss. Pity. Also Oh shit - dep PM is Therese Coffee Edited September 6, 2022 by Jareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted September 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2022 We’re having to endure all these “who is Liz Truss?“ radio and newspaper pieces overseas this week. Literally every word she utters about herself feels like scratching a chalkboard. Talk about weaponising British politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the issue is more that maybe, just maybe, they could have used some other form of transport rather than taking two private flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that in the future there will be technologies where we will be able to see each other and communicate with each other without even being in the same room. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 8 hours ago, Davkaus said: The Joe Lycett cancelling goes on. I particularly enjoyed the attack on Lineker. "He's a great pundit, I care about what he thinks about football, I don't care what he has to say about water quality", says man who has printed out Lineker's tweets about water quality. It's funny looking at examples of when Tories do and don't believe in free speech. I'm not sure anyone except for disingenuous shitheads have ever used the argument along the lines of "they should stop talking about a thing I disagree with them on and focus on their job!!!" So these big meetings discussing famous people saying things that are true, but not desirable to Tories are a thing? The right to protest is all but gone. Now the right to an opinion is in the sights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Should have supported Luz Truss, could have been awarded a position in the the cabinet, some right randoms going in number 10 today. No worries on energy bills, everything subsidised, nice flat in London, free fuel. Living the dream just by doing a bit of Paper work and going to the office, now and again.

Popular Post Mister_a Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2022 I think i heard someone describe Liz Truss in the most amazing way possible the other day. Can't remember who it was though. 'Isn't that the one that looks like she would get lost in her own house?' 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the two people in white shirts (guessing event staff) who crease up with laughter at the end of the video.
