Thread Name: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Just listening to James O'Brien and he made very valid comments on Liz Truss who seems likely to be our next Prime Minister

In the space of 12 hours she announced regional pay for civil servants, changed her mind about it and then denied it ever happened. O'Brien's summary was that she was 'useless, cowardly and dishonest'. It is quite true. The policy is the product of ineptitude and populism to Daily Heil readers. To then not have the courage to back up her statement is nothing but cowardly. Then to deny it ever happened is in the realms of Johnsonesque dishonesty. Are we just getting a female Bozo? He went on to make a much more far reaching comment - it seems it no longer matters. The Daily Heil is proclaiming that Johnsons reign did not end in failure. It is supporting Truss and cares not that she is verifiably useless. Do we, the people of the UK, really care so little that we let our politicians get away with this sort of skulduggery? How have we got to demonising an honest, if somewhat inept, politician like Corbyn while actively supporting the liars, cheats and rogues that are currently running this shitshow?
