I actually can't stand Truss. For one she's a liar, I'm from Leeds and Roundhay is pretty much the nicest area here. She certainly didn't come up hard as she likes to portray. There was certainly no red wall she speaks of. She lied about regional levels of pay by saying everyone had 'misunderstood' her. She has no real understanding about the cost of living crises for lower income families (which coming from the mean streets of Roundhay is surprising........) No need for help, she's just going to stop the green energy payments (about £150 a year, thanks Liz) and cut taxes which doesn't affect alot of the people who need help whilst also not really helping those it does effect. Instead she's going to 'unleash Britain potential' **** me that's sorted then, no need to worry........

Ya gotta laugh. We are dealing with crises by putting lunatics in charge of asylums.

BTW: If anybody's interested in the political zeitgeist in the USA, I read a fine book recently called "What's the Matter with Kansas?" by Thomas Frank. Be afraid, be very afraid!
