Well, good luck with that!

The country can’t afford her.

As Victor Meldrew would say …

Well if Boris and Donald Trump think they can rise up again perhaps she could. What happened to Theresa May ? I thought she was quite a decent person.

Witzend Sat 04-Feb-23 11:35:50

I’d have thought Theresa May would have more sense, nann8!

Witzend Sat 04-Feb-23 11:36:39

Sorry, nanna8, I missed out the a.

Aveline Sat 04-Feb-23 11:45:31

I always liked Theresa May. Her big mistake was trying to be consensual. Both sides were never going to agree. Our loss!

nanna8 Sat 04-Feb-23 11:47:33

You’re probably right, Witzend. I expect she has had enough of the back stabbing and circumnavigation of the truth!

Dinahmo Sat 04-Feb-23 11:49:04

Here's some reason for thinking that she is about to stage a comeback

Good grief. What a stupid, arrogant clown she is.

I just wish we could get shut of this bunch of corrupt incompetents.

Speaking of which - what the hell does Johnson think he’s doing, strutting around on the world stage?

Has he not told Carrie that he’s lost his job yet?

I see that someone has had to get in a remark about Boris, even though this isn’t about him!

So, for balance, I’ll throw in this:

The BBC news page has an article about her return.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64523277

A small extract from it sums it up for me.

Like many in her tribe, Ms Truss has never been short of that priceless political quality: a brass neck. Despite presiding over what many in the party see as one of the most disastrous political reigns in history, she is expected to argue that, essentially, she was right.

Yes, but we have Johnson strutting around the world like an elder statesman, doing a Tony Blair, now Truss justifying herself and about to tell us she was right all along!!

I wonder what is must be like to have such a lack of self awareness?

I think it must be lovely Whitewavemark2

Ilovecheese Sat 04-Feb-23 15:37:46

Goodness, is Starmer plotting to lead the tory party too?

This.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 04-Feb-23 16:44:51

Is there not a secure enough institution to which she can be dispatched?

Fleurpepper Sat 04-Feb-23 16:45:01

Wow nooooo.
