Just that. I can only imagine that, if Truss carries out her promises to give tax cuts to the rich and ignore those struggling, the Labour party's lead would increase.

If she has been saying this to gain power, and we have another liar in office, I don't know how usually Tory voters will react. They seem to accept the most outrageous of lies so they may stick with her. There still seems to be a tranche of Trumpian style supporters sticking to Johnson; they may transfer allegiance (and all common sense) to Truss.

I would usually vote labour but am in a tory safe seat so will probably vote Lib Dem, I just want the tories gone!! Labour have been hesitant about their plans so the papers write more about how bad the tories are, Keir wants the NHS & public services refunded so their silence is tactical, it stops papers doing what they did to Corbyn & trashing them in people's eyes way before the election

No sorry, I don’t.

That kind of points scoring, where winning the argument is the most important thing doesn’t appeal. It doesn’t really seem to change anything and nobody is listening to each other.

Even if the ruling party was bringing in something really good the opposition would oppose it regardless. And even if the opposition was making a really good point about some proposed legislation the ruling party would try to put them down. Just to be top dog rather than genuinely exploring the issues.

Fed up with adversarial politics☹️

Starmer did not go for point scoring. He merely tried to hold Johnson to account. It was Johnson who always tried to niggle Starmer by calling him stupid names and not answering the questions put to him.

Perhaps you might have had a different point of view had you watched PMQs occasionally.

What are your priorities then Cats, if none of the parties aligns with them?

Truss is a fact of life, I’m sure she will be better the Johnson - she could hardly do worse. Would she have won a GE, maybe, it’s too close to call most likely a coalition would have resulted.
In 2 yrs time it’s up to the Labour Party to win or loose, it’s their choice, unless they get their act together they will loose again.
