What do you think about those other Tory hopefuls who got eliminated and are now backing Liz Truss? Do they really think she's OK? Haven't they just revealed they were worthless candidates without judgement?

@TweetForTheMany Yes. But the whole of net zero is set up to be a scam. To allow the wealthy to go on killing the planet while pretending that their emissions are compensated by paying a corrupt rainforest logger who's "planting trees", or by the solar panels on some field that'd be there anyway.

@TweetForTheMany Presumably net zero is going to be a scam for bogus offsetting companies in offshore tax havens to get contracts worth £70 bn of public money so that the govt can pretend it has satisfied the COP26 commitments? (And make some friends very rich).

RT @EmilyThornberry: Having spent 18 months shadowing Liz Truss, the idea of her not realising what she’s signed up to is not exactly novel: the freeports fiasco, the shipbuilding blunder, the list goes on. After all, this is the minister who writes TL;DR with dead eye emojis on policy submissions….

Dear Ms Truss,
Public Sector workers in the UK need pay increases and better working conditions, not worse. Cuts lead to recession and unfilled vacancies, which are already causing problems. If you want to create a country where nothing works please do it elsewhere. #GTTO

Abolish all EU laws and regulations and replace with UK laws and regulations.
Cut vast numbers of civil service jobs and make working conditions in the civil service very poor.
These two projects sit well together?
Yes or no?

@HarryMbike That seems to be the most plausible explanation. The report does seem quite incoherent. You'd think they'd have realised it doesn't add up.
