Truss says it is clearly “very, very difficult” for people like Lee (who was quoted). The package on energy bills will stop people facing energy bills of £6,000. The maximum will be £2,500. And the action on getting the economy going is all about getting the economy going.
She says the government is trying to help people like Lee.
That’s it. Next it’s Radio Norfolk.
Let's see if she can fool Alan Partridge and the 20% more on digits mob.

It can be tabled any time. Problem is, with a large Conservative majority, it's never going to pass. Especially as a lot of Tory MPs are going to be concerned about losing their seats in a General Election*.
* Altho, strictly speaking, the fall of a government via VoNC does not automatically lead to a GE, just somebody else getting a go at forming one. However, in the vast majority of cases, a GE has followed. Even, sometimes, when the government has survived the vote.
Since Johnson became PM this present bunch of Conservatives have been steadily redefining the rules.

Of course. The Tory line is always that things which were happening long before recent crises are somehow a result of them.
Cost of living crisis is because of Putin, not years of Tory economic policy. The crumbling NHS is because of COVID, not the chronic underinvestment ever since 2010. Strikes are because of a sudden plot by unions, not mistreatment and real terms pay cuts.
The party of no responsibility.
It's interesting that other countries, which have far more reliance on Russian energy, aren't in the position that we are.

Ahh, but since everything is priced in dollars and they’ve trashed the economy and the £ that’s us done. Add in no storage capacity. The only major economy in Europe in that state. It was all flogged off so we are looking at power cuts this winter in addition to Europes highest prices. The government were warned about lack of storage and energy resilience in the run up to Brexit, but nothing was done about it.
In 2004 the U.K. was a next exporter of energy. Now we import two thirds. Says it all really.

It's not even a feeling. Sunak won the MP vote
But would he have been the victor n a head to head with Truss?
If Truss had any sense she would have stood aside and not let it go the a Membership vote. Would have put her in a better position next time around..
They will change the voting system before the next time it happens. My guess would be two ballots one for MPs the other for Party membership results equally weighted . Would I suspect have avoided a membership vote as she would be so far behind with MP vote the gap would have been too much to make up.
Assuming calling out racists is not considered a racist comment: Sunak would have been the victor. if his skin was a different colour.

I have no wish to defend Tory Party members, but I suspect what clinched it for Truss was that she didn't knife Boris, and Sunak did. I think that was a bigger factor for a large number of Tory members than Sunak's race.
In addition Truss did lots of button pressing with her slogans in the leadership election, Sunak was more circumspect, and, if you will excuse the pun, conservative in his expectations of what could be achieved in the rest of this Parliamentary term. He offered them a plod through a slowdown, Truss offered an over-optimistic analysis coupled with ideologically driven tax cuts, which she emphasised she would "deliver".

To paraphrase the chap who prank called Nigel Farage on a radio phone-in, from the sound of her interviews it sounds like the reason we haven't heard from Liz Truss for a few days is that she was kicked in the head by a horse earlier this week...

How did Sunak, or anyone else for that matter "knife" Boris? Anybody with an ounce of dignity would have resigned long before he was forced out by his colleagues.

I was talking about it from the perspective of over a third of Tory Party members who didn't want him to go. Many Tory party members on phone-ins speaking in terms of betrayal by the Cabinet Ministers who resigned.
I wanted him to go for proroguing Parliament, or lying to Parliament, or suppressing the report into Russian money in British politics etc etc.
Sunak knifed him efficiently and effectively, buy, from my point of view, way too late!

Your last paragraph simply isn't true. And it's a lazy stereotype.
Several extensive polls of Tories members had Kemi Badenoch coming out on top with a head to head against every other candidate.

Well, with the oil money we never invested in alternatives for when it ran out or even set aside profit for a rainy day like Norway has. We just hosed it up the wall. For our rainy day, we just get wet while Europe and many others laugh at us literally in the warm

Clearly she hasn't a clue, as she stumbled from one ..err, to another.
The UK is struggling to fill the job vacancies as it is. Where are the extra workers to fill the jobs growth requires. Blocked by brexit. Growth requires an increase in exports, yet brexit has lumbered business with 4 million extra forms, a week along with costly checks at the borders.
They over excited the thickos that once the naughty foreigners were send home there would be 'jobs a plenty'. There are, but the UK work force cannot fill them (for a variety of reasons). That's why far from growing, the UK economy is shrinking as business heads out to where there are no such restrictions.
So Truss is left spouting some nonsensical mantra, like Father Jack and his words 'that would be an ecumenical question' in the hope that as with the man on Monty Python who when challenged on his claim that he wrote the works of Shakespeare yet he was only 37 " I was hoping you wouldn't ask me that it will somehow stop any further questions.
Well you are being asked questions
And lunatic rightwing delusions based on consistently flawed beliefs are just that. As the BoE and the stock exchange showed with their response. And making even further cuts are merely going to continue to make the country even more uncompetitive.
It was because the UK needed so many skilled workers that in part caused the migration of those workers here. Cutting subsidies to wages will not suddenly turn a labourer into a skilled operative. Forcing the sick, disabled and mentally unsuitable into work will not improve things for them, the employers or the country.
What has happened is the logical continuation of Brexit, as they enact their crackpot idiocy. Unfortunately (because of the inevitable harm) this had to be played out before the thickos understood what they had voted for.
I fear there is far worse still to come.

Is it ok to laugh? Things are going to get interesting when people's second and third pension fund properties come on to the market because nobody can afford to pay the ridiculous rents they will have to ask for to cover increased mortgage repayments! Property price crash has to be coming at last !
