How on earth can Truss face her supporters - because that is what her audience will largely of - those who voted for her.

Can we please have a general election. I can quite understand what they are saying in Surrey they are saying it in Kent as well!
Well they are to me, it seems to be along the lines of I'm not voting Conservative anymore because they got rid of Boris without asking us and I don't like Liz's voice!!

If it's Things can Only Get Better I might start an insurrection.

Gordon Brown this morning on radio 4.

I bet it's When the Going Gets Tough by Boyzone. Fits her 'I don't mind doing unpopular things' delusions.

If I could wish any 90s song on her it would be Common People by Pulp. She should listen to those words and drink them in.

I’d say Coldplay -Rule the World.

Another one bites the dust

Urmstongran Wed 05-Oct-22 10:26:53

In today’s Telegraph.
Oh dear.

I heard earlier on the news Liz Truss is going to walk on stage to a 90’s classic song. Any suggestions?

I’ll say “Fantasy” by Maria Carey.

I'd like "Don't Speak"
Or "End of the Road"

Callistemon21 Wed 05-Oct-22 10:56:22

Oh, GN wouldn't post my suggestion! Try again

Callistemon21 Wed 05-Oct-22 10:57:10

“F*ck and Run”

Yes, it is a 90s song, apologies blush

Riverwalk Wed 05-Oct-22 11:06:49

They're all looking very jolly - ready to cheer!

Apparently its "Moving on up" ??

Whitewavemark2 Wed 05-Oct-22 11:08:17

Bound too, they have to prove a point, as they voted for her.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 05-Oct-22 11:18:56

Greenpeace??? well done.

volver Wed 05-Oct-22 11:21:03

And they had a second banner with them!!

BBC: Truss reminds audience she is first PM to go to comprehensive school

Riverwalk Wed 05-Oct-22 11:24:40

Second banner - genius!

..and indeed Theresa May's school became comprehensive while she was at it I believe.

Oohh, serious Liz. Separatists, pulling the precious union apart.

Dozy woman.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 05-Oct-22 11:36:26

It is the same speech she gave umpteem times throughout the summer.

Imagine if you need emergency care and Coffey turned up in an ambulance.

Casdon Wed 05-Oct-22 11:37:20

I asked my son what song he thought would be best for Liz Truss, he said
Oasis - Don’t Look Back in Anger.
We will be doing.
Interesting that it’s a smaller hall, with only half an audience there. More aren’t there than are.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 05-Oct-22 11:37:34

With cigar and whisky??

Grannynannywanny Wed 05-Oct-22 11:37:35

Surely there’s something missing from “Get Britain Moving” on the screen behind Liz Truss. It should add sponsored by Senokot because she’s full of s*
