Truss going on tour with Charles

When I spoke to my nephew yesterday he said "Its a good day to bury bad news sor of day" and what are they trying to sneak past us while our eyes are off the ball?

Truss should be busy organizing the fuel crisis problem and not getting involved in a side show. Ok there are some ceremonial bits she had to be involved in but her job is to govern the country and not to junket around.

Smuts = it seems. I have no idea why my auto-correct is so illiterate.

I’m glad others agree.

I can’t work out how their advisers ever thought this was a good idea. I assume she’s hoping for some kind of reflected popularity, but I think that will backfire. And apart from the political element, smuts as if she thinks she’ll be some sort of comfort to Charles. But he is a 73 year old, who doesn’t, surely, need this kind of handholding.

I’d rather abolish Liz Truss, personally.
The only comfort I gain is that King Charles is not going to be a pushover in those weekly audiences.
He may not be allowed to express an opinion, but those raised eyebrows can be very eloquent and leave Ms Truss in no doubt as to his sentiments.

I think it's inappropriate too.

Are they trying to economise or has Ms Truss muscled her way on to these Royal visits?

As a Conservative and a Monarchist I too find this idea wholly inappropriate.

Completely inappropriate.

She is politicising the King's tour.

I'm really surprised that he's allowed it.

Reuters - so no paywall - version

Sky and the BBC are also reporting it, I believe.

It looks to me as though it was Liz Truss's idea. - "The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said she would travel with the King to Scotland on Monday, followed by visits to Northern Ireland on Tuesday and Wales on Friday.
“The Prime Minister believes it is important to be present for what will be a significant moment of national mourning around the United Kingdom,” the spokesman said.

Not appropriate in my view. Monarchy and politics should not mix. Bias springs to mind.

The trouble with the Telegraph links are you can’t read them unless you pay for them
But from the headlines alone it seems very strange indeed

Not sure why they are doing this, it does seem strange

That seems very odd. What is she going to do? According to that report, it sounds like she’ll be a third wheel while the King and Queen (how very strange to write that) meet people.

Yes I agree not appropriate

I am biased too I want a republic

While we are being told by many people 'now is not the time' surely there is no better time to discuss monarchy and republicanism than with the passing of the longest reigning monarch in British history and in a period of great uncertainty for many people in Britain? Yet this is the one discussion that you will not see or hear in the British media, or in public discussion by politicians, or public debate. Instead, we are treated with the absolute assumption that all of us want the monarchy to continue and that there are absolutely no issues with the hereditary principle, which denies the democratic principle.

Fabulous, a great new beginning and bonding between political and monarchy. Really pleased they are doing this tour together
