Good morning.


Why have the Institute for Govt invited Truss to speak, and why is there any interest from the media?
Why do this when 98%* of the populace agree with me that she's a discredited waste of space?
Perfect demonstration of the bankruptcy of the UK MSM.

If we just ignored her maybe she'd go away.

Good morning.

Is it me or is this use of language slightly odd?

I could understand 'getting a grip on public spending' but 'gripping' it?

It's economically illiterate anyway (unless all she is doing is cutting transfer payments like social security or pensions) since public spending is a constituent part of GDP. Cutting public spending would lead to negative growth...

If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

Shocked etc.

I notice they are currently investigating JRM's shows as well.

Its literally just a few years since Dehenna Davison was widely cited as evidence Tories were "the party of the future".

Less than the square root of fuck-all AK . Except, perhaps ---

they remind the populace yet again that they are powerless and the oligarchy has them by the goolies .

But stop !

Perhaps the revolution has begun, not even ONE tiny smile --
