    Default OMG! Truss!

    In response to this tweet:

    67000 businesses, familes, tax payers, citizens.......so undervalued. Shocking


    Truss tweets:

    I am saying we need more childminders and they should be paid more. Currently money is being spent on process, not care!




    exactly where in all her proposals does she mention that we should be paid more? exactly how does money being spent on process get given to childminders? now these plans could be very interesting.

    you can imagine her pacing round her kitchen with a bottle of vodka making declarative speeches to her budgie... wondering what bullpoop to come up with next in her attempt to sound plausible...

    Yeah - its fun chasing her round - as soon as someone asks her a "tricky" question i.e. just asking her to explain her latest daft statement. She runs off and hides making daft claims in answer to someone elses question. But sometimes its hard to find her for a while.
