maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted October 30, 2022 Read the extracts from the forthcoming biography serialised in the Sunday Times this morning - predictably it's an account of a fame and power-hungry individual who'll happily stray off message for her own ends. Any defence starts with the extent to which the photo ops she coveted worked to cut through piles of PR waffle and simply got the message across. More pertinent to this thread, it suggests someone who'll struggle to cope with being a 47 year old has been with little prospect of rehabilitation. Her heavy espresso habit and use of white wine to wind down of an evening isn't exactly Shane McGowan levels of self-abuse, but I'm thinking we'll have periodic eruptions of this thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted October 30, 2022 Perhaps a more useful comparison for the purposes of this thread (which I'm assuming is concerned with Truss's remaining hold on life, since discussions of her impending exit from 10 Downing St. are now redundant) is Arthur Scargill, an apparently extremist firebrand who saw the event he built his career towards crash and burn whilst he was 47. History has proven some of his thinking right (particularly with regard to whether the Conservative government set a trap into which he'd fall and also with regard to the intention to devastate the UK's mining industry), however - like Truss - his own actions and lack of contrition on his part for those moments when he appeared to overstep anything acceptable have seen him excluded from much public debate since. He's 84, appears healthy for his age and hasn't greatly troubled the DL committee. He's reclusive to the point he turned down good money for a short ITV interview in the wake of Margaret Thatcher's death, he did show up in a rail workers' picket line a few weeks back, mind.

Gooseberry Crumble 5,361 Posted January 23, 2023 I was listening to one of Iain Dale's political podcasts earlier and he revealed that someone asked him on a London train to pose for a selfie with them, after initially mistaking him for rail union boss Mick Lynch!, and while chatting with the guy he revealed to Iain that only a matter of days earlier he had met Liz Truss too and asked the previously normally selfie addicted Liz Truss to pose with him for a selfie after having a chat with her and she flatly refuse and nearly ran a mile kind of thing! Liz Truss now refuses to pose for selfies presumably fearing a backlash. What a turnaround. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iain Dale's inflated ego must have been dented after being mistaken for a militant trade unionist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iain Dale's inflated ego must have been dented after being mistaken for a militant trade unionist. He seems to laugh it off to be fair. He said it happened a lot at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool last year when many locals thought he was Mick Lynch! He has also praised Mick Lynch as good in interviews. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
