I was at the Leeds hustings too and am rather sorry to say that i agree with you. Liz is a more rounded politician and can produce a considered view on many topics. Rishi was brilliant with furlough and 5% hospitality VAT but his narrower perspective is becoming more evident. Blair said of Brown that a chancellor can spend all day on one topic whereas a PM has countless different issues to sort out every day with no notice. I'm not sure either of them is quite right for the job.

How about Boris, but this time with a competent minder?

I did and still do think Badenoch is a breath of fresh air but, l think she's a PM for the future - not now. She will hopefully be in Liz's cabinet so gain more experience. I do really like Suella too. Fingers crossed for Truss though. She's growing in confidence by the day.

That's a fair comment, although I think that Kemi Badenoch was a risk worth taking. But, as I have said, we are where we are, and Liz Truss is growing in confidence by the day. I just want the Government to be Conservative again. I think that Liz Truss will deliver that change.

Liz Truss, her plans to contain the Treasury sound like she might be a reformer with innovative solutions. Myyyyyyy, do we need new thinking in politics today!
