Truss blamed the left wing media for bringing down her beloved Boris.  

Amazing how quickly they are rewriting history with Johnson. With Thatcher it took a decade or two, with Bojo it's been a few weeks.

They must do all they can to protect Boris Johnson. He must be the future saviour of mankind or something.

If they protected the country anywhere near as much as they try to protect Johnson then things wouldn’t be half as bad as they are now.

Oh and some nice Polio to add to the mix … Think my old man had it as a youngster

Labour attacking the Lib Dem tax on energy companies? I guess that means they are going after every seat they can get and the suggested deal where each party steps aside in seats where the other is favourite isn’t going to happen.

Gordon brown and the Lib Dems making more noise than any current Labour politicians. Pretty embarrassing

This will probably be over well before labour get a sniff of power. Good chance we will be in deflation in 2 years time.
