Here's one looking the other way. I'll leave spotting the horrifying eye-sore wind turbine in this one as an exercise for the reader.
Yup. At least with Mordaunt it's just the UK that's f*cked. With Truss it could be global - what with her desire to import less cheese and more RS-28 Sarmats.

She does pick some weird things to get upset about...Little waster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 2:27 pmApples .......... [uncomfortable pause] .............. APPLES! .................. *weird smile*.......................... ApPlEs! .......... PEARS!bob sterman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 2:17 pm

If you delete your avatar maybe this will all end and we will find it was all a dream?

Rishi Sunak - 118 (up 3)
Penny Mordaunt - 92 (up 10)
Liz Truss - 86 (up 15)
Kemi Badenoch - 59 (up 1)
This runoff devil-take-the-losingest style obviously hasn't done anything to change the order of the candidates or the final result at any point.
Why have you so long had such a horrified fascination for her for?
I've seen this meme a few times. What's it actually based on? I note this because I've mostly seen it from people like Cummings, who has some pretty awful views re: conflict at present.bob sterman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 2:17 pmYup.

He's nothing but a spawny a rich boy who is moderately good at maths (hence a job in banking rather than PR like Cameron), who got lucky in marrying a very rich girl. That's why he's insanely wealthy, that's why he's a tory MP ('cos he doesn't need to work, so he can pursue power as a hobby) &, because he's an idiot who believed that Brexit was somehow good for the UK, that's why he was in the cabinet.
To suggest that this adds up to some scheming genius is to fall into the tories' trap of believing their hype. They want you to think that they are rightly the natural power of government and that what you perceive as chaos and rats fighting in a sack is actually 4-d chess being played out by geniuses - it's like god's ineffable plan, and you just can't eff it 'cos you're not effing good enough, so best leave them to run every effing thing.
Do they have anyone left to whom the adjective "competent" could honestly & accurately be applied?El Pollo Diablo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 3:33 pmBroadly speaking, we've had (ignoring policy, morals, or impact, and obviously this is all relative and from a general perspective):
- David Cameron - Competent, honorable, likeable
- Theresa May - Halfway competent, honorable, unlikeable
- Boris Johnson - Incompetent, dishonorable, likeable
- Liz Truss - Incompetent, dishonorable, unlikeable
How the f.ck do they do this. On this trend the next Tory leader will be Erdogan.
Yes, you gave us a link to that recently. I watched it. It was painful and I don't want to watch it again. It's like cringe comedy - I can't watch Fleabag either.
In Liz we are trussed.
I might refer to her as Pork Markets from now on if she makes it through.
It's based on her very famous speech in which she ranted about cheese imports, and the dangerous and inflammatory public comments she made that could have unnecessarily escalated the conflict with Russia.EACLucifer wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 4:09 pmI've seen this meme a few times.

It’s like the superpower of Tory PMs to make “the previous one” look not too bad in comparison, going all the way back to Thatcher at least.El Pollo Diablo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 3:33 pmBroadly speaking, we've had (ignoring policy, morals, or impact, and obviously this is all relative and from a general perspective):
