She has literally killed our Queen.
And then delivered a very flat, awkward and wooden speech. She will be an awful leader at a crucial time for the country. Hopeless.

Sorry if this has already been posted.
Why is how she speaks crucial? What she does in terms of policy announcements at time of crisis will be crucial.And then delivered a very flat, awkward and wooden speech. She will be an awful leader at a crucial time for the country. Hopeless.

I predict a Sterling crisis in the not too distant future. This time the Tories will own it 100%.
Yes, I agree, but the fact is that we fell for the style and delivery of Thatcher’s message and failed to see that the content was built on lies. Those lies still hold sway. If we want to get out of this mess, we need to see how we got here and consider substance to rather than appearanceThe style of message and the delivery (tone of voice, pattern of speech, body posture, micro and not so micro facial expressions) are all critical to how well the content is received by an audience. In modern politics and diplomacy, it is often the case that actions do not speak louder than words.

Which means that the problem is not with the politicians, we get the politicians we vote for.As an ideal, I agree, but that's not how humans work. Sorry.

Starmer’s eulogy was incredibly well judged and delivered. It sounded like a Prime Minister speaking.Another poor delivery from Truss. Bland and hollow. A Prime Minister really needs to do a lot better.
Starmer is doing much better and much more honest/believable.
I imagine Truss is quite busy today, focused on the UK’s major challenges. It won’t be easy planning what to wear to the Queen’s funeral and memorial events, but I think the UK can rest easy knowing her chosen garments will be fab.
Will be the worst and least heartfelt speech in the Commons today.
Truss sounded like a sixth form pupil reading out an essay they’d written. A gravitas vacuum.Blackford and, we have to admit, Johnson also showing up how woeful Truss' speech was. Will be the worst and least heartfelt speech in the Commons today.
