The plotting to get shut of Truss of is already underway.
But the good news is that it could lead to a General Election

I’m looking forward to seeing whether she has any mettle - and I’m a Conservative voter.

We've all heard of the emperor's new clothes ( which only his besotted fans could see) but I've never heard of the emporer's wife wearing see through clothes which make her look like a hostess in a dubious nightclub.

See through?

Petera Wed 07-Sept-22 19:58:29

If it's not seethrough then somone has drawn a a picture of underwear on the outside - which in these times I don't discount as a possibilty.

Nearly every comment on the feed is asking the same question.

I must be looking at the weprong photo.

Someone should have told her to always wear flesh-coloured underwear under anything that might be see-through, including white or pale garments!

Callistemon21 Wed 07-Sept-22 20:00:31

Wrong ??

It's the link that varian posted

Callistemon21 Wed 07-Sept-22 20:02:17

weprong = wrong

I can't spell ?

Callistemon21 Wed 07-Sept-22 20:03:17

Yes, found it. Perhaps she thought it would be ok if it was a similar colour.

No, Carrie. Flesh coloured, dear.

Didn’t anyone else think it odd to see the Queen in her skirt and cardigan combo, rather than her usual silk dress? I know that is probably her Balmoral holiday wear, I just thought it strange.

Didn’t you see the weather at Balmoral yesterday? grin

Barmeyoldbat Wed 07-Sept-22 20:32:40

Didn’t anyone notice before she stepped out and tell her there was a problem with her dress being see through

Perhaps she lent Carrie one of her cardies too.

"You look a bit chilly in that ensemble, dear. No vest? Here, borrow a cardie"

MaizieD Wed 07-Sept-22 21:01:09

Here's Carrie's dress.

It's not see through on the model...
Perhaps Carrie didn't realise it would make her look like Princess Leia dressed for the delectation of Jabba the Hut...

Damn! Sold out!

Damn! Sold out!

I wouldn't suit me (?) but I can see DD in it.

Callistemon21 Wed 07-Sept-22 22:24:50

It ....

Deedaa Wed 07-Sept-22 22:37:42

I thought the dress was awful. Hated the fussy style and all those acres of awful pink floaty stuff. Still the fact that it was see through and you could see her knickers was the icing on the cake. Such a good look for the ex PM's wife.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 07-Sept-22 22:39:35

It certainly wouldn’t suit me nowadays!

Lovetopaint037 Wed 07-Sept-22 22:47:53

Did you hear Rachel Johnson tell Nick Ferrari that Boris “likes to spread the love”? ?Well that is correct considering his philandering over the years. Still his departure allowed him to put on a show which is what he enjoys. He managed to drop in his usual classical reference which sounded like a promise or more realistically a warning that he would be putting down his plough and returning by public demand. To hear him you would never guess that he was forced to resign. His imagery of himself as a rocket is hilarious if it wasn’t so sad that some people are taken in by his lying rhetoric.

Odd slashed for Johnson going on I’m a Celebrity this year. Please, no!

Actually though it’s the sort of populist thing he would do.

His friend Nadine will be able to give him handy tips from her time in the show.

I'd agree with a General Election if there were any parties worth voting for.

Barmeyoldbat Thu 08-Sept-22 16:02:30

There is always a party worth voting for, anything is better than what we have now

I think you are all in for a huge shock. Truss is just a stand in and someone else will step out of shadows. The government is in for a huge shake up. Just wait and see!

We might think that but what do you know that we don't?
