"yesterday's chart-topper"? Dishy Rishi?
The highest he ever got was #3 - after the #vacuumOfIntegrity and mad #truss
He is now #2 behind the LOTO ..... ( #Starmer - arguably the Kraftwerk of UK politics....)
@europesays
I am *very* grateful that we've had a #FirstMinister in post these last few years in #Wales who compares very favourably against the chorus of clowns we've had in charge at #Westminster.
Watch any of the televised #COVID briefings and tell me you'd rather have had #Johnson, #Truss or #Sunak addressing the Welsh nation.
Liz #Truss was not elected to the highest office of the #British state in a general election. Javier Milei has won a substantial 56 per cent of Argentina's vote in the November 19 presidential run-off election. It’s the widest margin since the 1983 return of democracy to #Argentina after seven years of dictatorship.
And yet, Mr Milei does bring to mind Ms Truss, for a simple reason: they seem to want some of the same things and it could all go frightfully wrong.

@Oldmanstan @marti @OliverNoble
They tried that already - #thatcher was "reincarnated" as #Truss
It did not work out - almost as tho 2023 is not 1979 - who knew?
@Oldmanstan @marti @OliverNoble
We will see - #Patel disappeared without trace so I am not sure #braverman will do much better..... and the good #burghers of #fareham might at a pinch chuck her out at #2024GE if the #libDems get their act together & #labour de-emphasise the seat (which they cannot win)
The mass membership of the #toriesOut have never selected a leader with a brown skin given an option - they even preferred the mad #truss to #sunak

Somebody had to do this.
I want to say thank you to Liz #Truss, MP for inspiring this meme, perhaps the only thing she gave the world during her......brief tenure as UK PM.
In that spirit, it's now up to you, #Emmer! I don't feel good about your chances. Head of Lettuce has racked up an impressive record of outlasting inept political figures the past year or so.
@Oldmanstan @MattMastodon @LuciusVorenus @krans @OliverNoble
Corbyn never once took on board the compromises needed to widen support to secure a majority, or, to take those on the centreLeft with him. His policy agenda ignored the economic realities of 21st C Britain, which do not permit rapid rollout of 1950s style nationalisation without a run on the markets that would make the #truss incident look like a mere blip...

I get it. Instead of a broad tent, #KierStarmer seems to want a singular, "centrist" position
But, Britain is in the same state as America. #Johnson and #Truss and the #PolicingBill all show that #Tories are a threat to democracy. We need a coalition of all parties to stop them. No one party is "the answer".
#TacticalVoting is the key. With tactical voting, we have some ability to influence the actions they take.
It's like there's a collective psychosis sweeping across the globe at the moment.

🚨Truss New Leadership Bid🚨
After the carnage she caused 12 months ago, I can't believe the Tories are seriously considering having this gormless halfwit as their leader again!
On reflection, why should I be surprised? They've sunk so low, that many in their decrepit party have welcomed Nazi Nigel #Farage back into the #Tory fold, with some hailing him as their saviour & future leader too! 😳
cudos to #joepolitics!

Along with #Freedland & #Toynbee (among others), with full-throated encouragement from @guardian Editor-in-Chief Kath #Viner, Rafael #Behr essentially led the #Guardian’s five-year-long assault on #Corbyn & his leadership team - thereby legitimising the veracity of the #FakeAntiSemitism slur and giving the #FarRight press, the #ZionistLobby & #BBC state media “permission” to jump on the “destroy Corbyn” bandwagon!
Whilst they won’t admit it, they & the British establishment’s liberal lickspittle publication (aka the Guardian) fundamentally betrayed what remains of British democracy & probably destroyed any future possibility of a #DemocraticSocialist government in Britain!
Having helped return #May’s, #Johnson’s, #Truss’ & #Sunak’s #Tories to power in the 2017 & 2019 elections, #Behr is today (see below), apparently without any sense of contrition, savaging the Tories - calling them “utopian zealots” whose conference in Manchester this week “is not just the endgame of a tired government. It is the late stages of moral and intellectual putrefaction. It is a once great party, hollowed out by a parasitical protest movement, collapsing into a parody of itself.”
Problem is: after three-years of giving @UKLabour “leader” Sir #KidStarver & his Shadow Cabinet of #Blairite nondescripts & no-hopers a “free pass”, the Guardian ‘hacks’ are also belatedly waking up to the fact that the #Mandelson-influenced ‘heart’ of #Labour thinking is suffused with such vapidity as to make it utterly clueless in the face of the crises we all now face!

#Podcast no. 2 today is #Global’s #TheNewsAgents with Jon Sopel, Emily Maitless and Lewis Goodall, all at the Midland Hotel in Manchester at the #Tory Party Conference. Liz #Truss’s speech features large, followed by other goings-on at the conference. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ZJNxTZ4FpmeDq3uERpX3T?si=sAhJlMeMSXigqUyEdLSpMw #Spotify
Time for only a #podcast or two today, so no. 1 is the #BBC’s #Newscast with Adam Fleming, who’s at the #Tory Party Conference with Chris Mason. Indecision about #HS2 threatens to derail the conference, and Liz #Truss gives a speech on the fringe. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3tguExiY5YWGrhkG2byMfw?si=_miYSxCESeOu21pMQAVzuw #Spotify
"But here in Manchester, almost all that most people – including Rishi Sunak – agree on is that 13 years of Conservative government have brought the country to its knees. When they catch up with the Tories who have done this to the UK, there will be hell to pay. What they do know, however, is that the only thing that will save us is more Conservatism. Logic isn’t their strong point." John Crace

The #toriesOut members will not choose #braverman as LOTO for much the same reason they chose #truss over #sunak
@XLCChelt @Probertd8 I've no words. It's truly through the looking glass stuff.
This Conference, in Manchester, where they put the final nail in the coffin of the 'Levelling Up the North' rhetoric (and then follow through with a jackboot full of more stringent benefit sanctions) is proof of what an absolute shower of 'even further to the right' they are.
How can they even begin to suppose #Truss has any credence?
This is what's crazy... It's like her disasterous mini-budget never happened or the #Tories just don't care! She was their chosen leader. Sunak wasn't.
You'd have thought her political career was all but dead, but the #Tories are in such a bad state under #Sunak, political pygmies like #Truss & #Braverman truly believe they've a shot at the top job! 😳
The lobotomised far right fools in attendance must be kept as far away from power & influence as possible.
What beggars belief is that these people dare show their face in support of Truss after the utter carnage she caused 12 months ago! 😳
#Sunak has little authority. His party has #NetZero faith in him, as even political failures like #Truss feel comfortable tabling alternative #CONservative manifestoes right under his rat-like nose.
#Tories #CONservatives #Sunak #Truss #ToryCONference
Thick Lizzy's trousers look like she's expecting a flood, with the bloke in the background looking unconvinced & unimpressed. 🙄
The mere fact her fringe meeting is packed with queues outside, whilst the rest of the CONference is as dry as a camel's toe crease, shows how deluded & out of touch the Tories are. 🐫
After Dizzy Lizzy crashed the economy, you can tell who was affected & who wasn't. Evidently it wasn't anyone at their CONference!
Rishi Sunak’s Commons majority in peril as 60 Tories join Liz Truss group
Are we seeing the chaotic end of the #toriesOut after 13 years of misrule?
How can 60 people be so stupid as to follow the truly hopeless #truss
We need to stop taxing and banning things - #Truss
We need to stop listening to incompetent politicians....
#Truss returns to play a different role - but her views are unchanged
In case anyone has forgotten - the #toriesOut are the party of #fiscal #incompetence - writ large!
I would point out #toriesOut members selected the ( not terribly successful) #truss as PM in preference to the much saner seeming #sunak
There was something about the disastrously deluded former PM that made her preferable...... I doubt it was the #thatcher cos-play ..... something about the alternative put them off, maybe?
I'm not sure #gender was it - after all, I'd point out thories have now had 3 female leaders where #labour have only managed a single temporary one
Good morning! It’s my #podcast time, and number one is the #BBC’s #Newscast with Adam Fleming and Chris Mason - subjects discussed with guests include #Ofcom investigating #GBTV in the wake of the Laurence Fox misogynistic comments, what was it like writing a speech for Liz #Truss, and #HS2. https://open.spotify.com/episode/03GbfzzwZ2csbphK2qfHZf?si=kOrNIMZKRWWZDSOxIm5dew #Spotify

Addressing a #US think tank, Braverman will question whether the application of the UN's 1951 #Refugee Convention is "fit for our modern age".
With #Sunak weak & vulnerable, the fiscally unhinged #Truss & grotesque fascist Braverman make early plays to lead the #Tory far right in anticipated leadership bids.
The #CONservatives! 👆🏾 🙄
Immovable Object meets Unstoppable Force.
I don't have to guess that even a world class economist with the mouldy damp dead weight of conventional economic doctrines shackled around its neck, would see the collision between that deaf belief system's 'absolutist theoriese' & natures immensity coming,
and realise that nature has the bigger balls, by far!
Folgen des "Truss-Schocks": Wie es um die britische Wirtschaft steht
Vor einem Jahr verkündete die Regierung der damaligen britischen Premierministerin Truss umfangreiche Steuersenkungen. Es kam zu Chaos an den Märkten, Truss musste zurücktreten. Die Folgen sind heute noch spürbar. Von C. Prössl.
Via @Supertanskiii _ 🇬🇧 Meat tax, seven bins, barefaced lies, fucking #Truss and a country that’s beyond fucked.
Why is #Sunak doing this? Tufton St? His enormous shares in fossil fuel companies? Shady #Tufton donors having shares in fossil fuel companies?
All of the above?
They’re #Tories r corrupt shithouses.
On Easter Island there are the stone heads that remain as if grave stones of a race that destroyed its ecology in pursuit of its beliefs, & so ended its own civilisation.
Sunak & the Tories are the high priests of a similarly obsessed belief system that will destroy ours!

Oh dear! 😂😂😂
The amount of #Tories who've already stood down, or have indicated they won't stand for re-election at #GE2024 is quite telling.
#CONservative candidates are creating publicity saying "Local CONservatives", & not putting #Sunak's face on their leaflets just as they did with #Truss & Doris #Johnson before him.
#Starmer meeting world leaders on his world tour, & broaching #Immigration & #Brexit is the biggest indicator yet that the #Tories are in BIG BIG trouble! 🤷🏾♂️
Is it OK here if I propose that the only way to fix our breaking planet & democracies is to throw all conservative government ministers into active volcanoes to appease the Gods, who might have the power & intention to intervene to save us?
Worth a try, at least?
#DidoHarding wasted £37bn in two years - what happened to it all?
#Truss and #Kwarteng wasted £74bn in an afternoon - why aren’t they on trial?
Yesterday evidence was produced showing Kwarteng was told exactly what his 'mini-budget' would do by OBR. But he did it anyway.

There is a running theme amongst the Tories. Their failures are not their fault. Brexit is failing not because it was a fucking stupid idea which could never work, no it's failing because we did not believe enough.
Now Truss is saying she failed not due to her own ridiculous policies but because the globlal markets betrayed her.
And she would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those pesky left-wing capitalist bankers.
(I'd honestly forgotten Truss had been PM)
Somebody from Norfolk has been on the wireless to express her support for Liz #Truss because she once sorted out a puddle. Seriously.
It's *always* someone else's fault with this lot, isn't it?
