Yes, truly bewildering. Mind you, the whole of this table - of cabinet ministers best liked by the swivel-eyed and blue-rinsed Conservative "grass roots" members - is totally bewildering. It's like a parade of the thickees.

Seems to be based largely on who's the most upbeat and vicious. Plus some sad men looking for whacking material.

Truss and David Frost had the best briefs for playing to members. Frost just has to look awkward, Trust just has to talk up trade deals (or talks about talks, if that's all that's happened). The selectorate think New Zealand has a population about ten times what it really has.

Yes, forgot the "all the fault of the forrins" aspect of both their jobs.

Basically a FS is only fucked if lots of squaddies get killed in a shit way.

Suella Braverman gets an easy brief as well, attempt to change the law to punish woke SJWs and then blame rotten lefty judges for having a more impartial agenda than you.

She's now replacing the unelected bureaucrat and former minister David Frost in his previous role...

The mind boggles

Add her to the list of women Johnson's screwed.

A phrase with so many connotations

She inspires much confidence after this exchange with Eddie Mair.

The government talent pool has evaporated.
We are now being governed by residue.

Time to bring back this image.

This is beyond series 10 of the Big Breakfast. This is like when you realise that the token young people in Last of the Summer Wine are now of pension age.

Interestingly, I've seen three different people each make broadly similar predictions today re Truss and her new role, namely:

1) Truss will spend the next 12-18 months huffing & puffing and picking carefully choreographed spats with the EU,
2) Having achieved little with this approach bar favourable coverage in the Tory press, she will resign as FS whilst heaping the blame on Johnson
3) Having burnished her credentials with the Tory grassroots & the "Spartans", she will then launch a leadership challenge to Johnson (if he hasn't already departed) in pole position

.............or to put it another way, she will repeat exactly what Johnson did to Theresa May a couple of years ago

That Truss photo looks she's taking orders for tickets to a village barn dance.

"I'll just put you down now. How many of you are coming to the fish supper, and how many just the dance?"

Can’t even come up with a unique approach. I must be missing her genius.

That’s a wild night out in her South West Norfolk constituency.

The grassroots and Sparts will never forget that she's a remainer.
