Liz Truss confirmed as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom beating Rishi Sunak by just under 21000 votes. Rishi not looking happy.

I didn't watch the speech but saw the beginning, I fall out with the fact that there was absolutely no acknowledgment towards Sunak, found it very distasteful & embarrassing tbh, not sure if she mentioned him in her speech but at least when Boris got the job he shook Jeremy Hunts hand & congratulated him on a tough campaign.

We're in for a very rough 2 years under her imo.

I definitely agree with you there, she wants to scrap the speed limit on the motorways, that's a terrible idea. There'll be accidents. I just didn't want Rishi because he was trying to get rid of my sister's uni course. Personally I hate them all, but she's just best of a bad bunch. Just need to ride it out for the next two years. Should have acknowledged her competitor though...

I'm not entirely sure she's the best of a bad bunch, I personally think we should be having a GE as I didn't vote for her, weve had 12 years of this lot & the mess we're in, we won't be getting out of anytime soon.

For the sake of preventing people from falling out I'm closing this thread. Politics discussions get out of hand very quickly and we would rather it not be discussed on the forum.

Cheers
