Liz Truss Wants To Have Another Go At Delivering A Budget
Liz Truss Wants To Have Another Go At Delivering A Budget
The former prime minister will challenge Rishi Sunak with an alternative plan, despite the fallout from her last attempt.
I wouldn’t trust her to deliver a pizza, let alone a budget.
No way. For a start you have to have some idea of where you're going.
Also you have to be in charge of a vehicle that doesn't run people over. Though I guess that technically depends on how many shifts you want to do
But she is not a quitter. She has assured that she won't give up.
Her proposal will be pitched as one that rails against “conventional thinking”
Is that better known as common sense?
Her prime ministerial debut was anything but conventional.
Go on Liz, split your party and force an early GE. Lib Dem sleeper agent strikes again.
Sleepy agent.
Someone needs to introduce her to Sim City, Cities Skylines or Democracy # Political Simulator.
"Here you go, Liz - you can play with budgets all day and nobody gets hurt"
"I have never shied away from tough decision. Our choices over the last week, opposed by the party opposite, will prove to be the right ones. Many experts are already predicting a golden future, with up to one million new homes built, and a new trade route to Japan."

They say the definition of madness is repeating the same actions and expecting different results...
I do find myself worrying about Liz Truss. Not in the sense of worrying that she might actually get another attempt at destroying the country. I'm worried about Liz Truss herself. Like, is she okay? Does she need help? Are there loved ones who are concerned about her mental state?
Being a greedy self serving arsehole isn't a mental illness.
I get that you're probably joking and I'm not trying to have a go at you but I think it's important to point out because it both gives people like her an out, and also deepens stigma of mental illness (when mentally ill people are more likely to be victims of abuse than perpetrators of it).
I think it's much more likely that she just doesn't give a fuck about the poor plebs whose lives she's playing with, she just wants to "play minister" because she feels entitled to. It's just a reflection of how privileged and oblivious of (and unbothered by) the lives of regular people those in charge are.
See, that's the thing. I don't think Liz Truss is a greedy, self-serving asshole. She's someone who is wrapped up in an ideology that makes a certain sense on paper, but completely falls flat when it hits reality. She's clinging to ideas she learned in university, which she honestly believes will help, and despite everything that happened last year (and the interviews and such she did at the end were truly tragic - she was like a little girl completely out of her depth), she still genuinely believes her ideas are right.
Liz Truss isn't evil. She's emotionally stunted, clinging to ideas that make the world make sense to her, and has a profound lack of self-awareness. Since last year, which was obviously highly traumatic for her, she's clinging harder rather than confronting the reality that she might actually... be wrong. Liz Truss is 100% someone who needs therapy.
In fact, I'd wager that an awful lot of people with her beliefs, and right wing beliefs in general, are not inherently evil. They just have unmet emotional needs that would benefit from getting some counselling. Genuine psychopaths and sociopaths are actually pretty rare. And the vast majority of people who would benefit from therapy don't meet a diagnostic threshold for a specific, named mental illness - but they still need to take care of their mental health and can cause a lot of harm when they don't.
So yeah, I'm sticking with my initial assessment: Liz Truss needs help. She's caused a lot of harm, not through malice or selfishness, but through messed up core beliefs and coping mechanisms.
I think this should be in the And finally... community - it is silly enough to make me laugh.
I say let her do it.
Then let all sane economists and market analysts tear it to shit. At least this way we won't suffer the ill effects and she'll still be outlived by a lettuce 🥬.
I sometimes wonder if the lettuce she was out lived by was Rishi
Forgive my crudeness, but she can go and get fucked, was my first thought.
No let me have a crack at it... sounds like any idiot gets a shot
I've got some ideas. £5 off the price of a pint of beer. A new 2000% tax on sales of music I don't like. A windfall tax on foodbanks. Free packed lunches for hamsters, Er. Ok, I had three ideas. Four ideas. Am I PM yet?

The picture is not flattering either, she looks haggard and confused. And what's going on with her hand? Begging for a private eye bubble
Shall we just rename the Donning-Kruger effect to the Liz-Truss effect at this point?
The only thing that comes to mind is headdesk
Then some rage..All I can say is… 😂😂😂😂
she has altered the deal
Person who has no clue how the economy works should not be allowed to be PM
