What do the Welsh grans or anyone else think about Liz Truss's comment that Mark Drayford Leader of the Welsh Labour party is a low-energy version of Jeremy Corbyn?
I think she is a dangerous woman not because of her intelligence and leadership skills but because she opens her mouth without thinking.
What could she stir up with the Chinese over Taiwan another Korea costing thousands of lives?

Well I am afraid for this country. Afraid because those same Tories who voted for Johnson will have the power to give us Truss as our PM. As for those MPs who have eventually got around to supporting her, their transparent self seeking is appalling. Just when we want and need truth and integrity we once again are offered fantasy.

Whatever anyone thinks of NS or MD- is irrelevant here. They are elected Heads of their respective countries, which are in partnership with England - and such comments are ill advised and totally wrong.

Whoever next leads the government we are well down the route to becoming the North Korea of Western Europe, proudly cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world, while falling further and further behind other countries in economic growth, education and health care. As our blinkered and ignorant leaders pride themselves on thinking up more and more rightwing policies whose implementation can only make things worse.

That one of them is a brainless nitwit, she will be following in a grand procession. Cameron, then May, then Johnson, and now Truss/ Sunak, all as bad as each other.
