Great time to stand down before her party gets demolished.

She tolerated Tory corruption. Bad. She supported Truss worse.

There's a lot of poverty in Norwich, and Chloe Smith has constantly voted to make it worse. She's contemptible

Thinking she was a leader…because she’d got some useless deals in her other jobs

One of the worst Mp's for years. Why are Times Radio giving her air time to wash her reputation?

These Times Radio titles, are becoming too click-batey. I'm starting to get reluctant to watch now - especially the longer ones.

A somewhat underwhelming, babbling person. If much of Parliament's intake around her time and since is of similar calibre, it goes some way to explain the mess it's in today.

Mindless waffle now for the rest to leave the stage and good riddance a political footnote, and the total disaster of the free loading foot pads

@26:12 post covid voting in Parliament - wasn't that Jacob Rees Mogg who insisted on old style voting?

Reform will get nothing. Have you read their manifesto? It's all fairytales.

Allan... in what world are Reform forming the next government? They're currently on course to win 9% of the popular vote and ZERO seats.

Liz Truss went wrong by being an arrogant autocrat,with a deluded idea of her own self importance,in the face of objective reality.Second to a lettuce.
