For this speech, Truss has mastered the smiling-like-a-drunk-who-thinks-the-9th-pint-has-made-the-pretty-barmaid-interested look #conference#ToryConference
The true measure of the prosperity of any nation is not the wealth of its millionaires, but the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the inclusion of its education system, the care it offers to its most vulnerable members, & the equality of opportunity it extends to all.
So sad to report the death of my great friend, mentor and true @LibDems Brian Clements. Stalwart of Poole he was leader of the council for 12yrs and served for 30yrs until 2015. This was us in York at conference in 2014. He served us with all his heart & we will miss him ❤️
@Rcamatrix@Sandbach @EleanorRylance @LibDems Or perhaps we should point out that if voters hadn't abandoned the party in 2015 so many awful things wouldn't have happened. 2010-2015 saw the most competent governing of our lifetimes because we were holding the reigns. A majority next time would put things right.
@fishface60@Sandbach @TheTruthSword @LibDems Because the Lib Dems were the champions of Green policies before the Green Party came along. All the Green Party achieved was taking votes from the Liberal movement.
So the hegemonic process looks set to take place once more. Surely #Labour will be elected now not because of their credentials but because the govt has become so bad that voters simply can't not vote them out. We need a 3rd electable party or this process will simply continue.
The Conservatives have lost the confidence of the public and the markets - it will take more than a screeching u-turn to undo the damage for millions of homeowners.
The Conservatives should recall Parliament and sort out this mess for the good of the country.
Let’s be clear, the only reason Kwarteng has shelved plans to cut taxes for the wealthiest is because of the political backlash. He still thinks it is the right idea and went ahead with it despite the cost of living crisis. The Chancellor is woefully out of touch and must go.
All Britain's current political woes can be traced to the people voting out the #LibDems in 2015. Why aren't the party leadership more vocal about this electoral blunder that has led us to #ThickLizzie ?
The fact that labour members suddenly think John Bercow would be a good leader for them, is strong evidence they have a serious quality issue in the party
