Is Liz Truss channelling her inner Margaret Thatcher?

I always think "Who would Putin or China respect?" and it wouldn't be Liz Truss or Penny Mordaunt.

From what I've read it looks as though Johnson is planning to run the show from the back benches... ?

I’ve just read in the DM on line, that senior tories want Johnson to resign as an MP when he stops being
PM in September.
Living in hope

Rumour mill, then?

He's just trying to keep his name in the public eye..

When Tom T thanked the female doctor in the audience for giving him his two children - I had to smile (as did the doctor). It didn’t quite come across as he intended it too. Embarrassing. Back to the matter in hand, I’m not convinced that any of the 5 have what it takes to become PM. We shall see soon enough.

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

I hope that Liz Truss will not be chosen. Nothing to do with pussy cat bow blouses though, as they are very popular nowadays.
I thought Kemi Badenoke spoke well, also Penny Mordaunt.
I thought Tom T uninspiring and did not like Rishi Sunak at all.
Some candidates are better than others at playing fair with each other.
I do think the new PM should not have been close to Mr Johnson.

Sorry Sago?

I thought Sago’ s question was tongue in cheek…

Me too.

I liked what he said on the retreat from Afghanistan but I am unconvinced by what they say he says about policies for the UK.

Perhaps I should take more notice of them all.
But I can't change anything, not yet, anyway.

He does mention it quite often…..

Is Tom ex army? He kept that quiet.

He was in the Army Reserves but got called up and served in Iraq and Afghanistan I think, Sago
So he's a war veteran.

With Johnson still in charge, he will do his best to make sure Tom Tug will not be on the shortlist ‘cause he told the truth about lies.

Surprised you didn’t know Sago.

He talked about how his injured army colleagues were cared for by NHS hospitals when back in the UK and thanked the NHS for that. This was just before he mentioned his two children and again thanked the NHS. Finally, he said that his role in the army had meant he was used to organising and leading teams.

If she is, she is not very good at it! She was the worst performer on the Channel 4 debate last night by a long chalk. Tom Tug was the best but he has no chance with the Tory MPs.

Tom Tugendhat and Kemi Badenoch were my favourites out of a motley bunch - new blood. Rishi Sunak is clever but I don't 100% trust him

Roll on an election.

It’s like being asked to choose between the members of Westlife when you’re an Oasis fan.

Love this! ??

I think you're right about the 80's fashion Dinahmo add wasn't there a bit of the Diana influence there too? I'm thinking of her engagement blouse with a bow.
