She has done one thing Boris didn’t do, fill her top government with loyalists rather than the most gifted. Boris was beaten by all the factions wanting to fight each other but before they could they needed to remove HIM. Truss has gone for longevity in Office, a personal objective, rather than the best interests of the country.
Remember Boris appointed 6/8 of leadership challengers into top jobs – one Cabinet 6 different directions held together by the single vision of Boris.
She's no Thatcher
Well Brexit was actually a good move the Russian’s have the European Union by the balls since they are all relying on Russia for energy. Germany has the best and strongest economy and they are going to have a lot of trouble in the coming years because of their green energy push which will directly affect energy and food cost not to mention rising prices on all goods and services. The USA should take note we have experienced as small measures of this under Bidden and if another Democrat is elected expect this trend in energy and food prices as well as a rise in all good and service’s to continue. This is all in direct relation to the green new deal and it’s policies. You can achieve those goals but it will be at the expense of pushing the middle class into poverty and the poor to homelessness.
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge.
This Lady has a good heart and the best interest in the working british people. Im confident she will do whats right for the poor people in this overcharge energy scam and make the companies who have made billions by making honest working peoples lives a living hell REDEMPTION, go get them LIZ, we are behind you 100% !!!!!!!!!!
UK is still the most racist country of all time
Was Liz in Lib-Dem? If it is true, she knows something that Starmer would not know at the next election!
The Whites in the UK Parliament has once again revealed they are racist at the core in the recently held PM election by defeating the rival candidate, the Indian origin, dark brown Rishi Sunak. The Britishers were the first to introduce Apartheid in Africa , slavery, and colonialism around the globe .India , once ruled by the British Raj still retains the vestiges of its past colonial dominance .And, it is an irony that our present Saffron leaders loves to toe the line of the British Aristocracy. It is as simple as that.
Blah blah blah blah ….. but where is the action😂

another totally incompetent loser with no plan to tackle the cost of living crisis. Tory party is there to protect the rich and big business and they don't even pretend otherwise anymore.
She probably will not last long
WEF apparatchiks everywhere, facilitating the 6uild 6ack 6etter.
In her mind all she is thinking about is why only 12% of people approve of her. Cost of living, Brexit problems, worsening debt, worsening economy all come a very long way behind her own ego.The new British PM should look inwards and solve its own drastic domestic problems instead of outwards about Ukraine / Russia issues etc. Only then can she win the British people trusts and improve the livelihood of its people. Trying to be nosy on international affairs that won’t solve British people’s woes would see her down fall.India just moved the UK to 5th place in the world economy.Truss should focus on UK economy and the poor in the country.She should not waste money on Ukraine conflict.Take care of your backyard before interfering in others business and trying to make enemy of China??
UK imported £63.6 billion of goods from China. This accounted for 13.3% of all goods imports, making China our largest importing partner. There were £18.8 billion of goods exports to China (5.8% of all goods exports), making China our sixth-largest exporting partner.Liz Truss is a stupid Ignorant Obsessive Anglo Saxon mindset new UK Pm,she is going to declare China an official threat for the first time if she becomes the new British Prime Minister. Is she going to declare war against Russia too?If that’s true, then she is worsening the relations between Britain and some of the most powerful countries in the world.
What can these kind of actions bring to the country?India has exceeded Britain to become the fifth largest GDP in the world. What do British politicians think about that?Likely Indonesia will taking over the UK with bankruptcy staring at them with inflation predicted to be 22% by Goldman sachet to be number 6 economy??? Boris Johnson is pursuing closer economic ties with China by restarting trade talks that have been on ice for years.The U.K.'s department for international trade has been tasked with organizing high-level ministerial talks with the Chinese government for the first time since 2018. The decision risks triggering a backlash from Tory MPs who are concerned about China's human rights record and the security implications of establishing closer ties with Beijing.
British government officials are in discussions about holding a meeting of the U.K.-China joint economic and trade committee (known as JETCO) this year. Such meetings between the two countries were held annually until 2018, when bilateral relations deteriorated over Beijing’s actions in Hong Kong. A government official said it was Johnson personally who was pushing for the talks to restart.
The meetings used to involve the British international trade secretary and their Chinese counterpart as well as more junior officials.The U.K. government is also planning to reopen a second avenue of talks with Beijing this year. , the UK-China Economic and Financial Dialogue, which has not been held since 2019.“The Treasury are keen to revive it for this year and are nervous about a more hawkish China policy,” one government official said.The decision to pursue a closer trading relationship with China is risky for Johnson, who is politically vulnerable because of accusations he broke the law by attending gatherings in Downing Street. The move has already angered a vocal group of Conservative MPs who take a hawkish stance towards Beijing.
“If this government decides that they are going to kowtow to China by going over there and begging them to trade I have to tell you that they can think again.”“I make no bones about this: I will not let it rest if we start now, amid all the evidence of genocide, brutality, crackdowns on peaceful protesters, and go traipsing along there as though nothing happened. There’s no good them telling us that they’re going to clean up their act — because they never do.”
“The government should operate a coherent China policy which reflects our views on everything from the treatment of the Uyghurs to trade issues like Huawei to the behavior over Taiwan and Hong Kong.”
“This seems to be completely at odds with that and it is hard to see how it could deliver success — if it did it would come at a cost of undermining every other aspect of our attempts to make the Chinese behave in a civilized manner.”Bob Seely, a Tory MP and member of the foreign affairs committee, said: “We need to deal with the world as it is, not as we would want it to be, but I don’t understand why we are so keen to have high-level ministerial contacts when the Chinese government is sanctioning U.K. MPs, when it has recognized the Falklands as being Argentinian, when it is dismantling Hong Kong’s democratic government.”
“The government is divided on China and has no strategy." He said the government "went through a series of clumsy U-turns on Huawei and nuclear power. Now it is zig-zagging again and sending mixed messages, with [Foreign Secretary] Liz Truss talking tough and the chancellor chasing cheques.”China is the U.K.'s third-largest trading partner and the value of bilateral trade between the two countries was £94.5 billion over the last four quarters. The trade department said it had no plans to negotiate a free-trade agreement with Beijing.
