Oh this Liz Truss speech is joyously terrible gaslighting. I’m going to paraphrase it for the full effect:
1) ‘Racism does not exist in the UK ANYWHERE. What do you mean an Empire? P.S. never heard of slavery. You must be a commie leftist to imagine such an outlandish thing.’
‘We Conservatives are going to fix the geographical inequality we created in the 80s when we saw off the old industries in the midlands and the north and gave those ungrateful wretches... a service economy! It worked so well that we are still ‘fixing it’. *rictus grin to camera
‘The 13 years Labour were in government - sandwiched between the CONSERVATIVE’S 28 YEARS in power (including the last 10 YEARS) really made all the difference to you scummy, whingeing northerners and your many deficits.’
‘Now is the time to forget we tried to sell off the council house stock, ramped up house prices in the process, did not keep up police numbers and let Labour force through most improvements to your rights as workers. And you’ll let us do it because we think you are very stupid.’
‘I am struck by the fact that my dreadful comprehensive education allowed me to climb out of the gutter, enter one of the best paid offices in public life (even though I still present anecdote as evidence to justify my subjective views) and then bemoan the same education.
‘It matters not that 1 in 5 Labour MPs are not white to 1 in 17 of Conservative MPs, LOOK AT OUR CABINET - shiny!’
‘and we are going to start with transparency in public life by investigating Priti Patel’s bullying properly, stopping MPs from using tax havens and discussing all of those extortionate contracts for PPE we gave to our dear friends and donors.’
I give up - it’s a mountain of manure and it’s bed time. Night 😁
