Your next Prime Minister everyone! Seems there is no cost of living crisis for Liz Truss who has claimed nearly £5,000 in taxpayer expenses on gas and electric in the last five years .Yet she says she won’t “bung more money into the system” to help hard-up Brits facing fuel bills of £3,500 a year – and rising. So no need for looting for her or to go cold or hungry or worry about energy supply being cut off cause the public pay her bills even though many cant pay their own.
If it were not for the Conservative Party’s renowned historic
reputation for nepotism, it would be a complete mystery with regards to
how Truss has got anywhere near political office.I would‘t trust Liz Truss to run a bath. This woman will be more incompetent than Boris Johnson Mark my words On one occasion, she
was exposed as either unable or unwilling to spell ‘literate’. She also once blew 3.5k in a restaurant (and claimed it back as expenses). I'm sure she will be very understanding about a pensioner on 800 quid a month worrying about how they'll manage a 3.5k energy bill.
As Environmental Secretary, she backed David Cameron’s Britain Stronger In Europe campaign
for the 2016 EU Referendum, only to simulate the behaviour of an
unabashed Brexiteer as soon as the winning side proved not to be her
own. She then U-turned to passionately advocate for Theresa May’s deal
with the EU (though also saying that no deal would be a more attractive
option than remaining in the European Union, to her credit) only to then
back Boris Johnson’s amendment of the deal which was worse, having
offered not one, but two borders between Northern Ireland and Great
Britain. She appears to flip-flop on issues of policy more than the fish
she no doubt wishes British fishermen to surrender to the French. This
brings us to Truss’ position on the Northern Irish protocol today,
namely her will to abolish it.
Of course, all those who voted for the deal in the
first place deserve to bear the brunt of this criticism, not just Truss.
But given the fact that she has been constantly metamorphosing
throughout her political career – first from a Liberal Democrat
to a Conservative, second from a One Nation open door centrist to hard
line Thatcherite, and third from an attendee of marches supporting the
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament to someone who seems to now froth at
the mouth at the prospect of nuclear war – it would be foolish to assume
that she has political conviction beyond her delusional self-image.
For many the biggest issue in the UK right now is the seemingly uncontrollable cost of living crisis. With annual household bills expected , to reach over £4,200 in January Truss has rejected financial help for unprecedented bill increases as 'Gordon Brown economics.'
'The first thing we should do a Conservatives is help people have more money of their own,' she claimed 'What I don't support is taking money off people in tax and then giving it back in handouts.'handouts'
Her cost-of-living plan or complete lack of one would give *10 times* as much to the rich as those who need it.
Top 10%: £936
Bottom 10%: £92
In the time that Truss has been
the minister for Women and Equalities, more than half of women have
admitted they believe women’s equality is in danger of going back to the
1970s at work, home and in society, according to a Guardian survey.
last
September, Truss was accused of treating the position like a ‘side
hustle’ by the women and equalities committee. The committee also
accused the government of regressing ‘equal rights after decades of progress’ through their lacklustre approach.
In terms of her
voting record on LGBTQ+ rights, in May 2013, Truss was one of 117 Tories
to vote in favour of marriage equality, then in July 2019 she voted to
permit same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland. In September 2020, she was
criticised by trans rights campaigners when she announced reforms to
the Gender Recognition Act would not include a right to self-ID for
trans people.
In 2021
Truss announced the government’s proposals for a conversion therapy ban,
with a draft bill in spring 2022. Many critics called it a ban ‘in name
only’, with major loopholes remaining, for example, talking therapies
for over-18s will not be outlawed. Conversion therapy for transgender
people will also not be included in any ban.
She was recently accused of delaying a Foreign Office human rights report because of Rwanda criticism . Truss also said that Boris Johnson "did a fantastic job as prime minister." As Truss and Sunak attempted to woo Conservative members. remember we have no say in who will be our next PM it became very clear they were both working very hard to assure than an even more hostile environment will help to restore the green pastures of this crumbling nation.
And as a minister who also appoints members to the Equalities and Human Rights Commision's board, Truss' record of both human rights and foreign policy is concerning. After resuming arms sales to Saudi Arabia in July 2020, days later, seven children and two women were killed in a Saudi-led air strike, Truss was subsequently branded " deeply cynical" by human rights group Amnesty International for arguing that apparent war crimes by Saudi forces in Yemen had been "isolated incidents " I don't thin this lack of concern for human rights is going to disappear when she becomes prime minister.
Truss recently removed commitments to abortion, scxual health rights and bodily autonomy from an official statement on gender equality signed by more than 20 countries.
Dubbed the ‘true blue’ candidate
of the leadership race for sitting firmly on the right wing of the
Conservative party, Truss is considered the economic descendant of the witch that was Margaret Thatcher and plans to cut tax immediately.
‘Under my leadership, I would start cutting taxes from day one to take immediate action to help people deal with the cost of living,’ she has said – with no mention of rising food prices, energy bills, transport costs or affordable housing.
Through appealing to the Conservative base with populist soundbites and meaningless phrases, Truss has cemented her position as a person of power , while ignoring the chaos she has been complicit in crafting.and while on the brink of the worst cost of energy crisis for a century wont pledge too scrap the energy price rise.
There’s a class war in this country, and it’s being waged from above with such a callous disregard towards the needs of the most vulnerable. Social services should step in and take Britain away from the Conservatives on the grounds of neglect and dereliction of duty in a time of unbelievable crisis.Tey have entirely broken trust with the British people and no not have a mandate to govern, Join the campaign to fight back. http://wesayenough.co.uk
