'Liz Truss will have to run No.10 differently'

Ex-communications director at 10 Downing Street, Sir Craig Oliver, says if Liz Truss was to become the next PM, she would need to implement a new style in office – one that is more "militaristic".#KayBurley https://t.co/ZTbv6x8cal pic.twitter.com/X8R32pPyme

Is that a real Douglas Ross letter?
Its strange.
Para1: She may have been elected as leader of the Conservative Party, but she hasn’t been elected as Prime Minister. Prime Ministers aren’t elected, they are appointed by the Queen. I’m sure she will be appointed, but until she is, isn’t it a teeny bit presumptuous and a bit of a slap in the face to the Queen to refer to Truss as Prime Minister?
Para 2: Engaged party members. Really? How many of them voted?
Para3: This seems to acknowledge that there is some kind of division or split within the Tory ranks. Who’d have guessed? How many cabinet reshuffles, resignations and indeed Prime Ministers have we gone through since the Tories have been in power?
Para4: the phrase “damming with faint praise” springs to mind.
Para5: I’m sure you do, laddie, but I doubt she’s given any thought at all to working with you, assuming she even knows or cares who you are.

Absolutely right. No matter how utterly ridiculous it all is, it is not 0.03% of the population that gets to pick the prime minister. It is 2/48million (+/-) of the voting population that gets to do that.
She got a smaller proportion of votes than Johnson, May or Cameron.
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/liz-truss-conservative-leadership-result-vote-smaller-share-membership-b1023199.html
The foreign secretary received 81,326 votes to Rishi Sunak’s 60,399, gaining the support of 57.4 per cent and 42.6 per cent of the membership respectively. The turnout was 83 per cent.
I think a lot of the membership want Johnson back and some MPs have letters ready to put into the 1922 committee asking for a vote of confidence… and she’s not been appointed yet!¬
I can’t really remember anything she delivered, although in fairness, I was never vaguely interested in what she did.
But that seems to scrape the barrel.
I think Truss has heard of Ross although she might not be able to pick him out in a line up.
Indeed when asked if she would work with Nicola Sturgeon, she said that she would have a good relationship with Douglas Ross… so maybe she’s going to ask the Queen to appoint him First Minister.

Oh and as for ‘Brexit’, anyone else see that as of yesterday(?) shop bought veg no longer has a ‘BBE’? Now it says, ‘no date, less waste’! Really, great this means the shops no longer need to reduce rotten or near to rotten veg, just buy it and eat it even if mouldy, help save the planet eh. I recommend taking pics of veg in packaging, on day of purchase, and if it goes off before it should, take it back with photos and receipt in hand.

Oh, that sounds bad…but but, Tesco said in 2014, that if we voted for independence they would close down their shops here and we’d all starve.
Looks like we need to start huge polytunnels in Scotland and grow a lot more veg here…can get local but even then not so much lately…plenty veg in Waitrose yesterday, I know it’s worth popping in for the reduced stuff…well, it was until now…much more veg has been coming from south of England I notice, Scotland will be last on the list for any imports when shortages occur and lorries are stuck at Dover etc.
