So the Final 2 - Liz and Rishi

If there was any truth in Yes Prime Minister, (and I’m not saying there was), most ideas the PM presents come from the Civil Servants.

I have been thinking of all the candidates who put themselves forward in the Conservative Leadership race.

In all probability whoever wins will be ousted when (if) the Conservatives lose the next GE. This could pave the way for more experienced MP’s to stand in the next Leadership Battle.

Looking at long term strategy as opposed to short term desperation, could this have been the grandees of the Party plan all along?

Well, if Truss gets it, which is looking likely, she'll wreak so much destruction that it'll take years to sort it out..

Are there any sensible and experienced MPs left in the parliamentary party? Or any 'grandees? I thought that Johnson heaved them all out.

I don't think that civil servants are advocating their own destruction.

I agree MaizieD. That’s why I said “If there’s any truth”. Far more likely to be doing this.

Truss appears to have shelved the levelling up idea.

Civil servants will be paid less in future for doing the same job in the north and other more deprived areas to better reflect the wage market.

So any 'talent' working in the South moving to the North will take a wage cut! That'll work then as people tend to look at the Salary figure rather than the cost of living one. Way to go, Truss!

U turn on pay cuts.

She is clueless

To use a Scottish expression

"She just opens her mou' and lets her belly rummle"

Now she is accusing the press of wilfully misreporting her press release. As it was quoted verbatim …..

Trumpety Truss

Let’s just hope that, even if they don’t implement it the north remembers this at the next election.

Liz Truss is contradicting herself, on one hand, she wants to cut taxes immediately to help people during living cost crisis but on the other hand, she wants to cut the wages of public sector workers which defeat the purpose of cutting the taxes in the first place.

My sister works as a senior nurse in Singapore, the government has awarded the nurses 7 to 14 percent increase in their basic salary and a bonus equivalent to 2 months salary in December to stop nurses like her leaving the nursing profession after the pandemic

Liz Truss has reversed (or did I dream this?) her great new idea of levelling down by paying people differently if they live in different parts of the country.

The electorate will forget it though.

Apparently you misunderstood what she originally said!

This isn't looking too good ... Press the button! No, I didn't mean press the nuclear botton!

Is it a done deal now, that it will be PM Truss? The membership have no need to vote at all.

If she continues proposing rubbish policies, then having to u-turn in record time, then who konows?

Is it just me or is all this becoming totally surreal?

This much is true

“Few understand this, but the air cover Tories get from Mail, Sun, Telegraph, Express acts as a multiplier of lies - and a giant comfort blanket - but

It's like living an episode of Black Mirror.

Doodledog yes thats how it feels to me too!

Really can't think why- we've just got a PM who was the most popular and screwed everything up, two candidates for PM who nobody wants, the opposition is led by a leader who is liked by everyone except the members of his party: and they're all on holiday just now anyway. Way to go UK!!!

Excellent description of the state of affairs Glorianny. I’d laugh if it wasn’t so serious!

People who vilify Britain will be treated as extremists and referred to the Government’s deradicalisation Prevent programme under plans by Rishi Sunak.

See you in the camps, sisters...

I expect someone from the Taligran will be along in a minute to defend it.

I shall start sewing gold coins into the hems of my skirts.

The only way I can cope with this is to laugh, irony is dead, Mock the Week have had to cancel because the truth is beyond parody.
