  4. I would encourage everyone to go the polling station come the election even if there's no-one deserving of your vote. Spoil your paper and lets get that turnout up to properly reflect how we all feel about the state of politics.

  8. The woman's only claim to 'fame' during her short premiership is Her Majesty the Queen passing away days after meeting Truss and Liz Truss destroying the economy.
    Not only does hse get this unearned right she also gets a pension that she did not earn or deserve.

  9. This makes my p#ss boil, I'm a party member and donor,get this archaic system abolished and abolish truss while your at it she's a bloody disgrace.This party is sleep walking into an election defeat do the right things even if it means losing,it's going to be a long way back,and the alternative looks just as bad but they will almost certainly get there 4 years in the hot seat.

  14. All Honours are a slap in the face, Truss is no worse than the rest of them, what about Cameron Blair and Boris Johnson's brother. Nothing warrants paying this useless lot hundreds day for life, complete failure bring Hugh awards in this country, they take the piss back slapping each other at our expense, been going on far far to long, time to stop the whole system of British corruption.
