Britain's Next Prime Minister: Heaven Help Us

Liz Truss is currently in Boris Johnson's Cabinet, yet she says that she would not have him in hers. He should sack her tonight.

Truss also claims to have "faced down Sergei Lavrov", which I doubt is how he remembers it, if he remembers her at all. She purports to have "led the free world". Yes, she really did say that. Repeatedly, and without challenge.

Any potential that was wasted at Truss's Leeds comprehensive school was wasted in the third and fourth terms of a Conservative Government, beginning under her heroine, Margaret Thatcher. And that supposedly horrendous school got Truss into Oxford.

Where was Kemi Badenoch flipping burgers and cleaning toilets, that she was earning enough to pay income tax? A privately schooled daughter of a doctor and a professor, no one challenged her either on that, or on her claim to have chosen Britain when she was 16. She was born in Wimbledon.

And when, exactly, was Tom Tugendhat "in combat" or "on the front line" in Afghanistan or Iraq? His attitude to the truth is as elastic as Penny Mordaunt's. As for Rishi Sunak, he knows that he does not have to try very hard, so he is not.

  1. I’m surprised Liz didn’t put up her hand when they asked who voted for Brexit in the referendum. I thought it was Kemi who worked in a burger joint. It is was Liz who was handing out the Whoppers tonight.

  2. Didn’t Liz Truss cheat on her husband with a Tory MP? Wrecking his marriage but she went back to her husband with her tail between her legs.

    1. That was how she got her seat. I am surprised that it has not yet come up.

  3. Penny met the Muslim Council of Britain despite a government boycott. Penny is related to the Lansbury family one of whom was the leader of the Labour Party in the 1930’s.

    1. Whoever really runs the party thinks that it looks bad for them to be spitting venom at each other. But summer telly is usually rubbish. This is the most entertaining in years.

  7. According to Guido Fawkes CCHQ plan to send out ballots to the membership as soon as possible. Which would be an advantage to the stop Rishi candidate whoever she is.

    1. I still wouldn't bet on there ever being a members' ballot. And they are never putting themselves through this again From now on, it will all be done and dusted in one day.
