    FYI Mz Truss, the Head Of Lettuce endorsed Biden. And Mr Lettuce lasted longer than you. Your “best by” date has passed!

      Truss was damaging the economy. This one’s just utterly useless and keeps putting his foot in it. But he hasn’t crashed the economy so that’s a plus.

      But he just bows down to the hard right, so even if he himself isn’t hard right. So he is still pretty awful.

      There is a reason no one likes him. He’s completely useless so both the right and the left get irritated by him.

    The ‘world was safer’ argument is an especially bizarre one to make this week, of all weeks, when the Middle East is ‘on the cusp’ of a wider conflict that was partly caused by Donald Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from a treaty with Iran. And Trump also inflamed tensions in that same region by moving the US’ Israeli Embassy to Jersualem. As to conflict in ‘the West’ specifically, he also endorsed and continues to endorse the very people pushing the West towards conflict, and himself caused violent conflict in the US, which was part of ‘the West’ last time I checked.

      Don’t forget about freeing the 5000+ ISIS fighters & handing Afghanistan back over to them.

      Not just the withdrawal, but also the assassination of a Revolutionary Guards general, which Iran themselves said was why they staged October 7 as an act of revenge.

        Many of us pay attention to world events. And I was cheering on the Lettuce!

        Yeah she’s one for the pub quiz.

        About the only use she is, aside from discrediting any policy suggestions that come out of the Institute for Economic Affairs (i.e. the Tuffton Street Twats).

          I just love she took the record of shortest serving prime minister from a guy who was already had the pneumonia that would kill him when he took office.

      Her endorsement is meaningless because she’s a political irrelevancy with less political foresight than a tin of sardines.

    Why on earth are we still paying attention to this idiot and treating her opinions as if they are worthy of consideration?

      Because she was UK pm. It is a reminder of what kind of standards, or rather lack thereof, the office has.

      She’s doing the media rounds because her book about her 49 days as PM is released. Apparently almost everything, including causing everyone’s mortgage to sharply rise, wasn’t her fault.
