After weeks of bull**** on the economy from Liz Truss & Rishi Sunak, both of whom were part of the Government which led us to the present catastrophe, sit down with a pint & listen to simple common sense from @RMTunion’s Eddie Dempsey - brilliant stuff pic.twitter.com/FFlHoXl5Pg

Sitting in the #ToryLeadership hustings in Cheltenham and still can't get over this quote from Rishi Sunak, that Liz Truss's economic plan would mean "we are going to, as a Conservative Government, leave millions of incredibly vulnerable people at the risk of real destitution”.

Neither Liz Truss nor Rishi Sunak have uttered a word about what they'd do to dismantle the Tories' sleaze-ridden cash-for-access culture.@AnnelieseDodds turns up the heat on them to expunge the Conservative Party's links to dodgy donors.👇🏻 https://t.co/WRZVH9ERTf

Kamali: Have you heard anything encouraging from Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak that they take the climate crisis seriously?

Kwasi Kwarteng and Simon Clarke go public to accuse their old cabinet pal Rishi Sunak of resisting Brexit reforms. Plus some fierce other swipes.https://t.co/jA9QjmHyju
As predictable, it has now become an “I’m more Brexity than you” fight…

…which may play to the narrow Tory membership, but is utterly tone-deaf to a wider population that increasingly recognises Brexit as an ongoing policy failure.

Liz Truss, she will be the next PM.
I don’t know many people that trust Rishi Sunak anymore.
His manoeuvring & campaign has been so poorly advised.
His advisers have destroyed him.
Interesting to see Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss speaking in Cheltenham last night

Very little agreement on most topics but both clear that six year olds running in bumpers was the chief threat to racing and that authorities should be praised for stamping out this menace
