Liz Truss - the first 100 days....

[icowden]

Even the Tories are not so stupid that they will do that again in a hurry. It would just look like an admission of failure and panic. Not what voters would vote for.

Oh I don't know. Rumours are abounding that letters are already in. Many formerly safe seat MPs are seeing their jobs going up in smoke if they don't do something fast.

Fat being large/big and thin being little/small has always been my self-evident thought. Much like slim pickings....

Entirely consistent with her behaviour at the DWP where she repeatedly refused to publish research even when her predecessors had committed to do so.

Headline in the Torygraph 'Liz Truss is embarked on a course of sheer madness, taking the bank of England with her'.

That from the old boss.

Allegedly, some city traders are referring to truss as 'Daggers", e.g., Dagenham as it's 3 stops past Barking

Why is she even considering this?
It shouldn't even be in her top 50 shitstorms to sort....

It's one of the things her evil batshit American employers have tasked her with.

It’s straight out of the Trump playbook.

I suspect she thinks this might help UK farmers to gain access to the Israeli pork market.
