Boris Johnson was a pillock, but Liz Truss is ineffective

Liz Truss is a terrible choice for prime minister. I don’t believe she has it in her.

Nothing will change! The NHS is broken and people are going to go under, to never resurface again.

Boris Johnson was a pillock and Truss is ineffective, waving her arms around like a puppet on strings. Oh dear, we limp from bad to worse.

Still, she has all her “mates” around her, right?

Donnachadh McCarthy’s article on “one room living” is no doubt well intended. But a word of warning...

When three decades ago we moved from our two-bedroom London home to a four-bedroom home in Devon, we initially had two bedrooms we did not use. So, in the first winter, off went the radiators and doors were closed.

I had not considered how much wetter climate is in the West Country, so was horrified when sometime later I looked in the rooms and found walls and ceilings covered in black mould due to warm air seeping into cold rooms in a part of the country with high humidity.

It probably cost more to remedy than the saving in fuel. We now, out of necessity, keep the whole house heated.

Oh, my paws and whiskers! We really are down the rabbit hole now!

Therese Coffey is the new health secretary, and, believe it or not, deputy prime minister. Look at where a lack of principles and blind loyalty to the Tory party gets you.

Enough is enough. I’m off to live in Scotland with the hope that the SNP can free the country from venal Tory politicians.

At the last election, the Tory party was elected on a specific manifesto – albeit with little intention of implementing those promises.

If the new prime minister wants, as she has said, to make major changes in how the country is to be run, then surely the right thing to do would be either to implement that manifesto on which the Tories were elected, or hold a general election?

I have been a Conservative supporter for the past 50 years, and now will be changing sides and voting Labour.

When the party decides who should become the next prime minister, they become nostalgic. The world has moved on.

Rishi Sunak was well suited for the job. When Tories get a new leader after losing the next general election (I’m also hoping they support diversity in leadership), then I will switch my vote back.
