Truss is also telling people how there has been no disruption from Brexit and for this reason she changed her view on it.

The sooner that she's PM the sooner this is all over

That's what we said about Edwin Poots 🤣

She means no disruption for her. Sure she is doing great ever since.

GDP is actually not an accurate valuation, more of an estimate. 4% drop is a rounding error. No wonder she's not too bothered by it.

Fishing and music, honestly. Inconsequential in terms of overall economy.

If people are saying Brexit is a disaster, they'll have to do better than that.

Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster. The UK economy is not recovering. Pretty much all economic areas are suffering. You simply cannot remove yourself from the world's largest and wealthiest market (and in doing so do your best to antagonise them) without an economic impact.

Can you tell us one measurable way in which Brexit has benefitted the lives of the people of the UK?

I'm not saying Brexit is particularly beneficial but to peddle a 4% drop as being a disaster is just as disingenuous as some of statements put forward by the Brexiters.

Dover is flowing normally today in what is the height of holiday season. No word about that though after the worst is over.

If I had to pick one benefit, is that tech investment in the UK is smashing records.

Who was saying that? If you know anything about te DUP you know that they are perma-whingers. The only thing that changes is today's subject if the whinge.

In this case, Truss is so brutal, that she's going to get eaten alive. There's going to be a GE in early 2023.

It was just a joke about Poots lasting a wet week and the similar Foster thread.

Calm down.

How many times has Dover been "over the worst" now. Also part of the reason Dover isn't jammed every day is because exports are down. You will also find that "port operating normally" isn't very newsworthy. Ports operate normally all the time unlike Dover.

Is investment in tech not always on the up ?

If there had been no disruption she wouldn't currently be running for office. 😀

But her rise through the ranks is thanks to the vast amount of cabinet members who have gotten the chop or left since Brexit.

I see Rishi is going full Tory: “We inherited formula’s from the Labour Party that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas. That needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that” - @RishiSunak

EXCLUSIVE: Rishi Sunak boasted of taking money from “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns - New Statesman

Just found it. Bloody hell! It shows the contempt that the tories have for the public who will still vote for them.

And I'd be curious what the ethnic makeup of those "deprived urban areas" would be. But hey, at least Sunak is saying the quiet part loud. Drip drip drip.

Anyone who is not a moron or evil understands why it's obvious that the funding goes to deprived areas.

The lack of talk about how RDF was distributed by the EU was along with telling English people NI exists the biggest failings of remain campaigners.

Poor regions have taken the £300m that the EU distribute back to them and handed to posh money hoarders like Sunak, Johnson and Mogg

This may well be a big vote winner among Conservative voters and Daily Mail readers. A guy promising to shaft the poor and look after the well off : what's not to like?

The Labour Party were last in power 12 years ago so this guy has some cheek blaming the LP

This is it, playing to the base, and hoping the poor flag waving, brexit loving pleb doesnt notice.

And on the other hand, Truss gets schooled by Kay Burley, of all people. Nothing going on between those ears at all.

Wait, Truss was a supporter of abolishing the monarchy? Huh. Didn't think there'd be that many of those types of people in that high an office; seems like a (currently) deeply unpopular opinion.

The vague promises/threats to Red Wall constituencies of "vote for us or we won't give you any money" are a bit hollow if the intent was to never give them money anyway!

Very little talk of it in the papers compared to the almost daily poppy/privy shte we had to listen to regarding Corbyn.

Imagine if Starmer held that belief, even fadó like Truss? Jesus the carnage in the red tops would be unreal. And as you say the sanctimonious outrage when anyone dares not wear a poppy - must be nice being that rich, or in the right tent.

Well, I don't know what to say, whomever gets the nod will most certainly need to watch out for the Johnson booby traps.
