Be fair - watching someone collapse in front of you (and take something out whilst doing so) is not something most normal people brush off and carry on talking afterwards.

I agree. Aside from the two situations being completely different, I feel Truss was in a lose/lose situation - carry on and you're a heartless bastard, stop and express concern and you're a timid little wuss melting in the headlights.

End of the day though, it's all pointless. Most of the Tories will have made up their minds and no amount of posturing will shift them.

I read elsewhere that one Tory MP has suggested that "giving control" of the leadership election to the Party members is a bad idea and should be for MPs alone.

We all know it'll be Truss anyway. Then when she fucks up (probably starting a war directly with Putin), that will be the cue for The King Of The World to come to the rescue.

He'll be alive at the next GE, you see.

Only Keith Richards can save us now.

Combined toxicity of the candidates renders studio uninhabitable.

I thought her reaction was when she got to the line in the script…..”Just tell the fucking truth, you stupid cow”

When talking about her tough approach to Law and Order, Truss said she feared that police officers were spending to much of their time on paper work rather than fighting crime. Surely it would be better to base policies on research and evidence rather than gut instinct.

"Fighting crime"? They're not bloody Batman.

All that "paperwork" is designed to provide a solid chain of evidence which ensures that when brought to court, villains get sent down and people have confidence in the system and its processes.

What does she want? Silly question, she wants glorified security guards keeping nice places safe for nice people.

A good question, but so is "Will Rupert Murdoch still be breathing in the next GE runup? The fucker is 91 years old and should by rights be maggot fodder by now. Cunt must have a deal with Lucifer.

Well I can guess who holds the cards in that deal………”read’em and weep, Beelzebub!

I think the Police spend too much time eating pies rather than fighting crime.

This is grim and irresponsible from Sunak pandering to old racists with naff 70s jokes

I was only following via the Guardian live blog, but it sounded very, well, Thatcherite.

What happened to the "left on the economy" bit of the reallignment?

I think we are going to see a coronation of Queen Liz.

Jehovah in a fucking Jeep.

Apparently, “Surgical” Truss is planning to appoint ultra-callous gin-guzzling behemoth Therese Coffey as her Chancellor of the Exchequer. Though it seems the ERG would prefer **checks notes** John Redwood.

This does not bode well. I am frankly torn between recognising that Truss’s disastrous cabinet appointments (and presumably the rest of her appointees will be equally grim) can only be good for Labour’s prospects of getting the cunts thrown out and replaced with a decent Labour government at the next election, and being genuinely concerned at the further damage a new Truss cabinet would be able to inflict on us all in the two years they have left.

Gerrof!

You cannot be serious!

Last week the Guardian predicted that Truss would make Kwasi Kwarteng Chancellor, Coffey Home Secretary and Braverman Secretary of state for Work and Pension. So she is basically keeping all the dead wood from the Johnson cabinet and promoting most of them to jobs where they can do even more damage.

Badenoch for Education, some are saying. Sole qualification seems to be that she's "anti-woke".

de Piffle for Sec of State for Northern Ireland, now that really would piss on his “legacy”

That would be an utter disaster...
