Public don’t want to admit they’re Tories, says Liz Truss
Britain is full of people who don’t want to admit they’re Tories, Liz Truss told the launch rally of the new Popular Conservatism (PopCon) movement on Tuesday, 6 February. Speaking in central London, the short-lived former prime minister said: “Britain is full of secret Conservatives – people who ag...
To be fair, it's something to be ashamed of.
Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Why does this idiot still have a mic?
Because we are here, discussing this idiot.
Why is she even still a public figure? She trashed the economy and doubled mortgages for millions. She'd do best to keep a low profile.
I really hope she just disappears after the election. As annoying as she is now, at least she’s making Labour’s point that the Tory’s are a shitshow
We'll see if that is true at the election won't we.
People don't want to admit they're Liz Truss.
Most people aren't Liz Truss.
I'll have you know I'm well lustrous
More like the generally right-wing British public no longer want to be associated with the corrupt scum that are the Tory party.
It's pretty sad when the people that would support you by default have grown sick of you.
They UK public aren't that right wing. It's just FPTP. The left is spread over more parties. It's why UKIP/Reform drag the Consecutives round. They can't afford the vote splitting. We aren't as badly two party as the US, so Conservatives playing the US Republican playbook to keep their nutters happy, is just destorying them.
When you actually talk to people most people are pretty middle of the road left of center or right of center. So parties should be pretty close to the center if they want votes as you say going after the extreme fringe groups only alienates everyone else.
The Tory strategists know this, which is why they keep trying to pull the conservatives back to the center, but the likes of 30p, and Mog refuse to get the message.
Speaking of secrets, still wearing that necklace eh Liz?
They are not hiding. And if saying you're a <fill in> is unacceptable at school and/or work, you really are in need of some deep self-reflection.
honestly this is why im skeptical of all the polling if labour is just being tory lite they why wouldn't tories just vote tory
People just call labour that because they want them to be a socialist party. I would like them to be as well because I think that's the direction society needs to move in but unfortunately they are not socialist. Doesn't mean however that they are like the conservatives. That are just left of center.
That's still a massive improvement, if only because they are competent. We can look at societal change in the future, but right now I'll settle for effective governance. It will be nice to go through a week without having to hear about 16 different scandals.
"We are-too popular! My mum says so! Well, she doesn't say so, actually... but I know she secretly thinks so!"
My mom can beat up your mum.
"You secretly love us" is not the approach I expected but I guess maybe I should have expected it
I imagine why they won't admit it is because they aren't.
The british public are pretty conservative, but the tory party are a fucking wrecking ball and no conservative should vote conservative if they want to conserve things.
Well, looking at Liz, does this seem surprising?
Her?
