Pitch for leader ?

Given the increasingly vitriolic nature of the factions in the Tory party, whether she is starting her leadership pitch is possibly less important than whether her rivals and/or Sunak’s supporters think she is, as far as her shorter-term future is concerned.

A bag of cough sweets has more sense that Liz Truss. That's damning with faint praise
I thought it was a lettuce- but that's staying power not sense isn't it?

I'm getting confused - the Tories, who promised to limit migrants, let in more!!!
And they're taking rail services back into public ownership!!!
And Suella Braverman's pitching for leader!!!
Beam me up Scotty and let's head back to Planet Earth I don't understand these aliens.

I’m going to talk sense. My dog would make a better prime minister than either of them. He’s kind, loyal, knows how to interact with people to best effect, has no racial or gender prejudices (although not keen on squirrels or birds), intuitive, and funny. He doesn’t open his mouth and spout ill informed rabble rousing rubbish. He’s also very handsome but that’s beside the point.

than Liz Truss

Who in their right mind believes that any country can have unlimited numbers of immigrants?

Well nobody. Nobody at all.

But those trying to make out that we are being invaded by foreigners try saying that all the time, until the gullible believe it.

she seems to have more sense than Liz Truss.

It must be very frustrating when you know perfectly well that your government is making bad decisions but you are not allowed to do anything about it.
Who in their right mind believes that any country can have unlimited numbers of immigrants? Yet any attempt to bring common sense into the subject gets dismissed as zenophobic. This young woman is saying all the right things but is helpless. I think she is too young to be a Prime Minister but she seems to have more sense than Liz Truss.

Much of her speech was ad Lib. She. Is unquestionably bidding for leadership.

It will be an interesting battle as there are so many factions in the Tory party now. There are those who have absolutely nothing in common with her politics.

I think we can safely say she is, when MPs in her own party are drawing that conclusion.

Frankly, I don’t know. But I support her desire to limit migration to this country. A million and a half in two years is far too many.

No. Nothing in her speech indicated a leadership challenge. Bearing in mind the huge rise in migration figures to be revealed on 25 May, it’s more likely to be some convoluted public relations ploy to say, I as Home Secretary don’t support/want net migration to continue at this level. Don’t forget SB said her speech had been cleared by no 10.

Yes. But there isn’t a vacancy and her colleagues can see exactly what she’s up to. Subtlety isn’t her strong suit.
