Tory Party Conference

Truss is the Tories answer to Corbyn I think.

Corbyn was supported by momentum and Truss is supported by Tufton.

Both extremes of their party.

Nicola Sturgeon won't build new nuclear power stations.

Too right lady.

Incidentally she wouldn't replicate your daft tax plans either, Ms Truss.

Second banner - genius!

It's a good look, two women being bullied by men

Who is this Anti-Growth Coalition she's invented? Are they not people who live in exactly the same world as her? A new enemy to blame for her own party's failings.

She really is an appalling speaker.

Is her husband there to help her find the door out of the hall?

Anti-growth coalition - new sound bite.

Meaningless of course.

She won’t need a door volver, she’s Movin’ On Up!

I suppose that the anti-coalition is the new enemy.

The Tories love picking fights don’t they?

So apparently we can't stop Truss walking out to our song, very weird! So sad it got used by this shower of a government

I don't think Tin Lizzie quite cuts it as a thinker or a speaker. Having praised the town of Birmingham for having a skyline full of cranes she likened her vision of the Tory party to Birmingham itself - with a big Bull in the Centre.

Couldn't have put it better myself!

I think they’re the people that are worried about regulations (building?)being lifted, green belts and flood plains being built on, fracking: worried about inhumane farming methods, overuse of pesticides….so I think that includes me.

Gordon Brown went to Kirkcaldy High School a local authority comprehensive so once again Liz Truss opens her mouth and spouts rubbish.

Actually, the Anti-Growth Coalition might be me. I will of course defer to MaizieD if she comes along and blows my primitive understanding of economics out of the water. But…

... isn't relying eternally on growth just some kind of economic Ponzi scheme? There may be quite a lot of scope for it left, and of course locally we can always grow at the expense of the global, but will we not hit the buffers at some point? Should we not be planning for a steady-state economy?

According to Andrew Neil Kilcaldy High School was highly selective, the equivalent of an English Grammar School at the time Mr.Brown attended.

Somebody being interviewed on Sky News just now seemed to be of the opinion that Truss raised two daughters on her own so she understands people having to struggle. And no one picked her up on it. Or pointed out that she was possibly having an affair at some point: probably when she hadthose children (?).

As a SME I always look for our turnover and more importantly our profit margin to grow, year on year.

Isn’t that what all businesses want?

Make a profit, expand and increase the amount of employees.

Surely that’s a win win?

? A grammar school was a state school. The only thing Truss can claim is that she was young enough to attend a comprehensive rather than a grammar school due to her age. It was a worthless statement.

Precisely. When did the first comprehensive schools come into being? And didn’t she slate her school during her election campaign?

Casdon I was not defending the PM, just posting what a journalist had said.

Earlier than we often think, but they didn't really get going till the mid-60s.

But Brown is a red herring, as written above Theresa May went to a comprehensive school.

Truss is not even the first female prime minister to go to one.

So all of her statement regarding first is erroneous?

I salute all the people who have managed to sit through this rhetoric which has been written by the spin-doctors to try and boost her standing in the Party. The Party is over Mrs.T. Get real; resign and retain a little bit of respect.
