I know public speaking isn't for everyone 14:50 - Oct 14 with 2694 views | homer_123 | and it's isn't the main strength a PM needs but she is just so so bad - it really works against her doesn't it. Stiff, robotic, insincere - there is nothing natural about her is there? You don't listen to her and think 'credible' in any way. |  |

I know public speaking isn't for everyone on 18:34 - Oct 14 by jas0999 | Isn’t it a main strength needed though? As PM she needs to at the very least speak publicly to reassure folk - even if it’s rubbish. Her lack of ability to speak in public is a real hinderance. |
I would say the ability to communicate clearly is essential. Look at the problems we had with Johnson bumbling his way through important covid announcements and confusing everyone. Both are awful communicators, but as someone else mentioned they seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum. So, equally bad for different reasons. |  |

I know public speaking isn't for everyone on 15:02 - Oct 14 by bournemouthblue | Boris was an alright speaker and was good at framing an argument in the way Joe Public could understand When challenged, he soon crumbled, Starmer rinsed him in the commons fairly regularly but Joe Public isn't bothered by this He's somehow created a persona where he could fail continuously and Joe Public on the street would lap up his eccentrically British bumbliness, putting it down as posh charm. It shows how blissfully ignorant vast swatches of the population are when it comes to politics to be quite frank. Truss looks so out of her depth, it's amazing. When you look at her record, she truly has failed up. The general feeling is whatever department she has been in, she's done a fairly poor job so why would it be any different as PM?

Johnson was all too aware of his limitations, and sought to hide them beneath bluster and bullsht. No lie was ever too far and as long as (he thought) he had won the day that was enough. Truss is fairly sincere, just as Jehovahs witnesses are. It is so absurd what they are bleating on about they have no option but to continue regurgitating patently obvious shte. Begin to engage in some rational debate and the whole lot collapses like a house of cards I suspect Truss owes her position in the Tory Party to her being prepared to spout any old shte she is asked to. Never question it, just spout it. I think she is bright enough to work out the flaws and contradictions but not bright enough to work out whether that is the best she can be doing in her life. She may not also grasp that her role is not that of a president. She is in office as PM because she supposedly has the confidence of the majority in the house. Unlike a president who is elected to the job. It is patently clear she does not have the confidence of a majority of the house, she doesn't even have the confidence of a majority of Tory MPs. Maybe she will spend the w/e showing young master Hunt round No 10, before making her excuses and leaving. A wholly unsuited person for the job, if only that she never showed she grasped the level of her limitations - |  | |  |
