But at the opposite end of the inspirational spectrum to Churchill .

We may need to create a thread for her soon. Ideas welcome for a thread name?

Trussterfuck


She wasn't always the ineloquent boiled turnip we know & love today, in her late teens she was more articulate:




Not many people go from confident teen to gawkish middle aged adult

Not many go from gawkish middle aged adult to being would-be PM of the UK either

So Boris' days as PM numbered?

It's not just the 160,000 Conservative members in the UK who are eligable to vote for the next PM, members of the the Conservatives Abroad organisation can also vote as well.

Membership of Conservatives Abroad is administered by the Cities of London & Westminster Conservative Association (CLWCA). By joining CLWCA as an overseas member, you become a member of the Conservative Party and of Conservatives Abroad. You are entitled to all the benefits of party membership, including participation in the Conservative Policy Forum, attendance at party conferences and a vote in the election of the party leader.

So you don't even need to live in the country.

How many votes does thst add to the totsl?

This is tomorrow’s front cover of the Scottish edition of Mail on Sunday. All I can say is that at least the SNP are trying their best for Ukrainian refugees. Whereas, the UK government is abandoning any moral responsibility. Further, the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday/MailOnline would rather refugees/asylum seekers/immigrants just rot and die.

Do the Tories not have any advisors. Last nights leaderships contest was manna for Labour.

now truss has bottled out of the andrew neil interview

^ So she does have an advisor.
When your ahead in the race, why go on a show where the interviewer will rip your arguements to pieces.
Better to do a Boris and avoid Andrew Neil, and go and hide in a freezer.

Sounds about right

There was meant to be another debate on TalkTV tonight but the moderator, former Sky News political correspondant Kate McCann fainted about 30 mins in, she is said to be ok
