Yes as I said before, I think it's between Sunak and Truss.. Some newspapers think she'd be harder for Starmer to beat than Sunak.

Based on what? It was said of Neil Kinnock that he found it hard to attack Thatcher too vigorously because she was a woman. How true that is remains uncertain. I'm sure he would deny it, but I suspect there is at least some truth in it. Starmer, on the other hand, will have had a lot of experience in opposing women in his legal career. Therefore, I doubt he would treat Truss any differently simply because of her gender. He would certainly have no difficulty in beating her in any sort of intellectual argument.

 

On a separate note, her leadership might neutralise one of the (false) lines of attack the Tories have been trying to use against Starmer. Every so often, he is attacked (inaccurately) for failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile. Unfortunately for Truss, somebody has unearthed a tweet from her paying tribute to him shortly after he croaked.

’The new Iron Lady' the Tory press can't help themselves, can they? We already had one of those and she was a disaster.

 

not to mention the Liz Truss I've known up to now has been anything but.

Maybe they mean Iron Lady in that she has the same IQ as a lump of iron ore?

I can only see him comfortably winning the next election as he can do anything and his supporters will vote for him

She actually went to Oxford.

Did you? Very hard to get in to. One of my daughter's' friends read Pure Maths there and had 4 A* A levels and 12 A * GCSE's. They only take the best.

To be fair to Liz, and I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt now, she may not have known of his dastardly deeds when she praised him.

She is a landed gèntey piece of shit. Of course she went there. They probabpy just wanted her to get two Es. This is how the establishment STAYS the establishment ;) We're not invited to the party.

I did not but I also don’t consider myself inferior to anyone who did. My cousin went and suffered bullying and damage to her mental health that lead to a suicide attempt.

 

Basically Liz Truss is not better than me.

Going to university doesn’t make you intelligent, I mean I went to lol!

That's for us normies, the 20%, that they take, in orser to perpetuate the myth of the establishment being the elite. Whilst we are expected to be the best, so that people think all at Oxford are intellectually superior and impressively erudite, the establishment, like her, just need two Us or two Es for entry :) In short, thick as teo short planks, but elevated by this classist, fuedal system, so that cap doffers like you fawn all over them.

I was well aware of various rumours about Savile. Truss, OTOH, didn't even have the sense to look through her tweets and delete anything that might cause embarrassment when she entered public life.

Isn't it strange how the people who described Diane Abbot, who grew up in a working class household and went to Cambridge at a time when well under 10% of people went to any university, as thick describe Liz Truss, with a middle class background, as clever because she went to Oxford.

Unsurprisingly, you missed part of the point. Liz Truss is, indeed, awful, but she has a decidedly middle class background, not an upper class one. She did PPE, a subject often regarded as a bit of a soft one, particularly at Oxbridge, because it is perceived as relying largely on short-term memory rather than analysis. Given her tendency to forget statements she made a few years ago, Truss's medium-term memory doesn't appear to be very good.

Anyone who wants to be PM does PPE at Oxford or Cambridge!

There's a problem. If Johnson said "I resign", how many people would believe him?
