Liz Truss branded ‘an imbecile’ by sacked minister’s wife

  1. An honest Conservative?

    I suspect he did do a good job as well. I feel for him. Why can’t we actually put the best person in the job rather than ONLY putting best mates there? It’s sad.

  2. To be very honest, Truss has done little in her career to make you think otherwise. Maybe she will prove us all wrong, hey!

  3. Given the way she spoke outside No 10 earlier, she’s not wrong. Idiot or imbecile is a fine way to sum her up.

    She spoke like she was reading notes given to her by a donor. At least Johnson didn’t sound like he was reading a script. She lacked any conviction behind her words, including the Johnson brown-nosing segment.

    If it wasn’t for the camera showing her from the side at one point I’d have believed there was a hand or cable there controlling her like a puppet.

    She even sounded angry at one point. She had her “that is a disgrace” level of aggression going.

    She’s so out of her depth. There really is no talent in this government or parliament if this is what we have as our leader and cabinet.

    PMQs are going to be great. Johnson dodged and avoided questions. Truss seems like she’ll answer the questions, faff it up and get it painfully wrong, and be turn to shreds.

  4. ‘veteran’ here. I find Jonny Mercer the politician incredibly difficult to listen to and apparently his wife even more so. there’s a real “I am the voice of soldiers everywhere” about him, even when it’s clear there’s other’s in government who also happen to have served and can get on with the job without threatening to sack it all off each time he doesn’t get his way.

  5. Can’t help but feel it’s a bit irresponsible to do a story on her. She’s not a political figure and it was her social media account. It’s not like she was doing an interview.

  6. Ah well Johnny. I think you know your time is coming in our constituency. Guy’s spent more time off this year than boris.

  7. To be fair, if you called another reddit user an imbecile on some subs they would ban you. It does seem to be an ablist term.
    But the faux outrage needs to stop.
    I’m a moron, but I would have a hard time taking instruction from a dipshit like that.
