I suppose it is a bit like paying your money to enter the freak show at the circus… Very rare to see someone with a brass neck like the one she has :0)

Unfortunately for us, instead of skulking away into oblivion, she has been starstruck in her 44days of power tripping, and now needs, craves attention all of the time.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the only reason she ever got involved in politics.

The Brian Clough of politics

Didn’t Clough actually win things though?

Clough had his flaws, but he was a football man of substance, even genius.

Liz Truss was appallingly bad, and a symptom of how hollowed out the Tories were in terms of what they could offer to the public. She was so out of her depth it was unreal.

And sickeningly, her judgment is so lacking that she has since tried to position herself on the coat tails of an orange felon.

He did.
But he didn’t win the lottery like Cabbage Truss.

Truss is a genius, too.

It’s just that the rest of us are too stupid to appreciate it.

To be fair, I think she’s dumb on a different scale.

For ‘security reasons’…right…

She just decided to leave a room that had gone quiet.

She has been giving short speeches all over the globe, for differing governing bodies, for which she has been paid hundreds of thousands of pounds…
Not sure that is ‘Free Speech’ in my vocabulary.

Train drivers get pay rise settlement.

Train drivers announce new series of strikes for September

Shit timing, but isn’t there a limit on the minimum notice of strikes? The first day of the strikes is 01 September, which means announcing them now is probably as late as it gets.

Shit PR as well, because reading about it, it seems to be about industrial relations rather than pay?

Look at who led the government negotiations.
Former shop steward, with a strong trade union upbringing.
ASLEF must’ve thought they’d won the lottery when this loose cannon turned up at the negotiating table.

What does that have to do with my point? These are separate issues. The pay deal was across the whole industry and many companies, while this is about issues specific to LNER.
