#Raab #Cleverly and #Truss are said to have spent £4.6M between them on private jets and ministerial planes in 24 months..

On his latest trip Cleverly has hired a luxury private jet usually used by the obscenely wealthy at £10K per hour.

There’s no cost of living crisis for them!

With approaching 950 seats lost by the Tories, this has now reached the “very very worst possible case scenario“ previously thought implausible in the last few weeks.

#Sunak has now lost more council seats in one go then #Johnson and #Truss COMBINED in their premierships.

@fkamiah17

Maybe I was unclear - the #labour lead now remains higher than at any point from well before the 2019 (when the corbyn factor applied) all the way thru till #truss screwed up. "Sunak bounce" is not really a bounce - it is reversion to sanity after a period of #toryMadness and as such a resumption after an incident; that labour still doing better suggests that their policy shifts have not damaged support in terms of numbers of general public - tho undoubtedly it has upset the left

@fkamiah17

I think you are wrong - the #toriesOut recovered after replacing the amoral chancer and the incoherent dreamer with a sane leader - the poll lead #labour had from Sept to the end of 2022 was never going to be sustained - and in fact that lead remains higher than that labour enjoyed all the way through from the 2019GE till last Sept when #truss blew the economy up

#Johnson - lost nearly 500 seats. Lost the support of his Party. Sacked, soon after.

#Truss - lost nearly 400 seats. Lost the support of his Party. Sacked, soon after.

#Sunak - heading for how many ? 800 ?

“Not Brexit’s fault at all, it’s the Chinese” - Liz Truss

@Skembear

That article is BS & anyone reading it knows so

#labour never had 37% lead, and the lead is not just 11% now - it takes a peak & compares to a trough which is fundamentally dishonest.

Polls dominated by what #toriesOut do, not what labour says - #sunak is credible where #truss was a joke

Further, he is the only #labour leader to have ANY poll lead in last 15 years

I don't agree all he does, but he's way more effective than last 3 predecessors at gaining popularity for #labour

Ah yes, of course. Wokery causes high taxes. Not endless right-wing economic mismanagement. Not incompetent ideological Chancellors and Prime Ministers. Wokery. Gotcha.

Why is the #Guardian quoting disgraced former PM and wrecker of economies, Liz #Truss

🤦‍♀️

Liz #Truss resignation honours list criticised by ex-aides

This sorry excuse for a former PM of 49 days has put 4 people forward

At least #wilson had served as PM for some years (and won 3 elections) before his Lavender List caused a row

Sooner the UK #honours system was revised (& #lords replaced by something not subject to patronage) the better

You couldn't make it up. #LizTruss, whos 'Govt' lasted 7 weeks and plunged millions into financial distress, now proposes a 'honours list' of those who advised the #Truss disaster. She should plead with British people for forgiveness. https://tinyurl.com/5n7nddbx #ToriesOut

So the #DUP & #ERG + #Johnson + #Truss voting against the 'new #Brexit deal'. It isn't new so shows how much they actually know about Northern Ireland.
Time for a #General #Election #Sunak!

I'm beginning to think there must be a protocol that would-be PM's have to past before being given the job. It's that they have supercilious facial expressions. I couldn't stand #Johnson and #Sunak is as bad. Arrrrhh (#Truss vacant look doesn't count.).

Liz Truss’s delusional speech about China is digging the trenches of a second cold war

"... does Truss truly believe that Britain is still a global power with the political will, financial wherewithal and military firepower to intervene effectively in dangerous geopolitical crises... ? If so, she is truly delusional. Alone and adrift in a post-Brexit vacuum she helped create, Britain’s ability to influence world events is diminishing rapidly.

Truss urges west to safeguard Taiwan security ‘before it’s too late’

Why is anyone listening to anything she has to say? Her recent interviews and article hardly set her up as a voice to take seriously.
