Liz Truss Ex-Prime Minister
Discussion

This Sky piece in Truss's constituency suggests there's a groundswell of opinion against her and that she might lose the seat. Labour candidate Jermy – who does seem like a nice guy – says he didn't write a victory speech when he put in for the seat but he's written one now.

My bolds above. I think that's an excellent thing - most people love a good local MP, which is what we have here by all accounts. He's a Tory though, so he won't get my vote in this election.

A friend of my wife had to surrender her driving license due to a health issue, her GP eventually gave her the all clear so she reapplied to the DVLA for her license (runs her own business) and was getting nowhere and given the run around. She emailed her constituency MP (Jacob Rees Mogg) who replied to her email with a statement that he would speak to the minister of transport, phoned her personally within the next couple of days to tell her it was all sorted and the license was being returned. She received it 3 days later.

I've got nothing to add to this thread, other than every time I see the title, it's a little reminder of why the Tories need to be voted out.
I have to say I have been broadly a ‘conservative’ person most of my life, but after the last 14 years and the Truss debacle in particular, I have to agree with you.I do appreciate most politicians are bloody awful, but sometimes you just have to change them. As a wise man once said, change your politicians like you change babies, and for much the same reason…

It either Jermy or Bagge. Neither are really who Id want to vote for, but I really want to see Truss out, so it’ll probably have to be Jermy. He’s a nice enough guy and to be fair to him, you can often find him litter picking etc around town, but I feel that’s probably where his limits are, local rather than national and thats not such a bad thing. But on the other hand you have Truss, so no contest really.
If only Truss's limits had stayed local. It's astonishing to me me that her seat is projected to be a close run thing. Who's voting for her? hairykrishna said:

No one has done that for decades, and there has been no real growth to speak of in that time when the more right leaning side of British politics has been in power.
This is the Liz Truss thread through right/ the tax and spend policies were to generate growth, cut the public sector and it was refuted as heresy.There was a post earlier about who would vote for her and why, I think the question is more broadly, a rhetorical question
a) Do you want tax rises and spending cuts that represent 9-10% of GDP? Approx. 100-120bn
b) Do you want to grow the economy by 10% to level the books?
The country has voted for a) without even thinking about it, as there was no debate, the debate is happening past-tense.

Hasn’t Norfolk got the oldest population in the UK?
East anglia way behind south east and quite a few other areas in terms of median age of population Not sure by county if Norfolk is an outlier
All the “immigrants” on the north norfolk coast probably drive it up a bit (immigrants = retired people leaving london and other metropolitan areas)
