Crashed the economy. Put up interest rates. Put thousands on to mortgage payments. Backs Trump. Still thinks she’s brilliant. What is worse a whole bunch of Tories think she’s sane!!
She threw her lot in with the money-grabbing, xenophobic, extreme right-wing of what used to be the Tory Party before the ERG transformed it into a Populist nightmare.
I certainly want clean air, clean water and nature for my grandchildren to wonder at. The EU protected that. The Tory’s will destroy the planet in order to make a penny!
‘Every parent wants their children to grow up in a healthy environment with clean water, fresh air and thriving natural wonders. Being part of the EU helps protect these precious resources and spaces.’
These are not my words, but those of Prime Minister Liz Truss six years ago. At the time, she campaigned – and voted – to remain in the EU!!
Having sought the backing of hardcore Brexiteers in order to help secure the Tory leadership, she may no longer want this for her children – but many of us still do.
And how ironic those words ended up being, as this Government’s Orwellian Brexit Freedoms Bill launches an attack on nature like we’ve never seen before.
This Bill presents an opportunity – Brexiteers like Truss would say – to liberate us from the shackles of burdensome EU regulations. So what does this mean, exactly?
A bonfire of 570 environmental laws, which could destroy the habitat regulations that have protected our most precious wildlife and green spaces for 30 years, according to campaigners. It could also permit the release of nitrates and phosphates into rivers, abolish all of our pesticide protections, and so much more.
It doesn’t end there.
Part of this Brexit-fuelled assault on nature is the potential scrapping of the post-EU Environmental Land Management Scheme – a crucial programme that would have replaced the old payments for production with support for farmers and landowners to enhance nature by creating rare habitats as well as slashing emissions.
This Government seems determined to plunge us into a race to the bottom, purely in the name of pro-Brexit zealotry
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) claimed last month that they’re ‘not scrapping the schemes’, but I won’t hold my breath.
Not to mention plans for new ‘investment zones’ announced in Kwasi Kwarteng’s omnishambles mini budget last month that will loosen essential planning laws to protect nature.
When we are already one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth – with barely half our biodiversity left – this Government seems determined to plunge us into a race to the bottom, purely in the name of pro-Brexit zealotry.
Those same selfish, greedy Tory ERG fuckers who brought us a disastrous Tory Brexit costing us tens, if not hundreds, of billions, have put this demented shrew in place!
She’s obliviously swimming about in the cess-pit that is the Tory Party, totally out of her depth, screeching her Mantra –
After emerging from Johnson’s fridge Truss immediately plummets to the floor as our mortgages crash through the ceiling, the cost of borrowing soars and businesses watch in despair and all the stupid woman could say was a pack of lies. Britain is swirling down the gutter.
Seemingly the events, following her promise of huge uncosted tax cuts to the rich, were due to Putin and global forces. What a farce. How many times have we heard that excuse??
She’s got no idea of how to put this right and is prepared for the country to go down the drain rather than lose face.
I’ve got a good idea of how to put things right. It requires a simple three-part plan.
Sack the stupid chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng who arrogantly rejected any oversight of his uncosted tax-cutting proposals because he knew that they are immoral and simply wrong.
Withdraw the proposed budget. Hold your hands up and admit you got it wrong.
It is Wednesday. I love Wednesdays. On Wednesday we can put the heating on for an hour. It melts the ice on the windows. You can still see your breath though!
I bet I know what we’re having for dinner today; potato stew!! I know that’s what it is because we have it every day. Dad bought a sack of potatoes. We don’t peel them like we used to because Mum says that the skin contains all the goodness.
Mummy is very naughty. She swears a lot. She says naughty things about Liz Truss. I don’t know what she is talking about. Liz Truss is our new Prime Minister. I don’t think mummy likes her. She says she’s worse than Boris. Mummy says she’s a cross between the Ice-Queen and Attila the Hun. I know who the Ice Queen is. She was not nice at all. I don’t know who Attila the Hun is though. Daddy won’t tell me. He says ‘Just ignore her’. It’s hard to ignore her when she swears such a lot.
Daddy says he would like Boris back. Mummy says he’s an effing moron! I thought Boris was funny. I liked it when he got stuck on that zip wire waving those Union Jacks. Mummy said that he should stick those flags where the suns don’t shine. There’s lots of places where the sun doesn’t shine so I don’t really know what she means.
Mummy says that ‘Fat Cat energy bosses getting £15 million bonuses while people freeze is obscene’. Daddy says Boris would have sorted it. Mummy says she doesn’t know what possessed her to marry someone without a single brain cell in his head.
Daddy says that Liz Truss will sort the cost of living crisis. Mummy suggests that killing off half the population through hypo … hypotermites, or starvation is not exactly sorting the problem. Daddy says she’s daft. The Tories know what they are doing. Mummy says she knows what they are doing too. She says they are giving tax cuts and bonuses to the effing rich. They are a bunch of cnuts. I don’t really know what that word means and daddy won’t tell me. I think it’s very bad and that Mummy is very naughty. If she’d said that in school Mrs Iverson would have sent her to the Headmistress. I’m trying hard to remember all these words Mummy says about Liz Truss because Billy thinks I’m really cool when I repeat them to him at break-time.
Anyway, Mummy and Daddy seem to know a lot about politics. Mummy says that it’s Boris Johnson who gives us potato stew but I think it’s Daddy. She doesn’t always get it right.
Mummy and Daddy don’t agree about Boris or Liz Truss. Mum says that if she had to choose between the pair of them and a bucket of shit she’d choose the bucket of shit any day – at least it’s good for the roses.
Unelected. Put in place by a bunch of wealthy millionaires. Now we’ve got her for the next year and a half. How much damage can she do in a year and a half?? I know! I saw how much damage Johnson did in a lot less than that!!
Worrying times! Can we grow bananas in this climate??
