I wonder how many journalists will call it out as lies and fantasy this week as Truss goes on her media rounds? [Post edited 4 Feb 2023 22:02]

| Truss - blaming the left for her downfall on 22:10 - Feb 4 with 2550 views | Churchman | And is still as thick as mince. Government creates policy. The Treasury, HMRC, etc etc enact policy. The process used to be broadly that ministers would come up with measures (ideas). The Departments would then take those measures and scope them. They’d look at costs, benefits, political impact, resources needed, timescales to name just a few things. Standard project stuff. This could take days, months, longer depending on the measure. The outcome would then be relayed back to the minister for a decision. If it was to go ahead, bingo, it’d appear in the budget. From the outside, my understanding is the idiots have had enough of experts so policy was announced without the work. Fag packet time. Shame the markets/people from here to Mars thought their uncosted nonsense was worthy of the banana republic we now are. Whoosh! Bye bye £40bn, cheerio Truss and best mate Kwarteng. And now she blames everyone else for her epic incompetence. Bit like the rest of them with everything else. Somebody else’s fault. If caught out just make something up and an earnest smile for the camera. |  | |  |

The fact that Truss is even beginning to be taken seriously is an indication of the impoverished incompetent corrupt state of the Tory party. Britain is having to live out the abysmal inheritance of twelve long years of incompetence and self-serving egotism. |  | |  |

To be fair, it’s been a lot longer than that. Which is why the “solutions” provided by Sunak and Starmer are effectively more of the same but with a veneer of respectability. |  |

A ludicrous idea the Telegraph has decided is worthy of promoting on its front page. In fact, scanning the article it looks like something they’ve editorialised in order to push it. And that’s on top of giving Truss such a prominent Platform in the first place. We get politicians like Truss, cock-ups like Brexit and a lack of alternatives because of dangerously extreme and crap journalism like this. |  |

The Telegraph has long since ceased to be a serious newspaper. Just look at the recent photo of the bath Andrew is supposed to have frolicked in. It's just a version of the Express or Mail, but with longer words. |  | |  |

Indeed. The Telegraph these days is an insanely devoted propaganda sheet for the Tufton Street crew and the extreme wing of the Tories in their thrall. |  |

I think Sunak is tolerated because he isn’t Johnson or Truss and little more than that. A bit like Starmer may be tolerated for little more reason than he isn’t a Conservative. |  |

| Truss - blaming the left for her downfall on 12:07 - Feb 5 with 1680 views | blueasfook | Oh it was the fault of the left wing economic establishment was it? There was me thinking she lasted a mere few weeks because she was totally inept and was never fit to be PM to begin with. I guess I was wrong then. |  |
