I think the u-turns are symptomatic of someone who doesn't have strong personal beliefs, which fails to meet the moment. But Liz Truss had strong personal beliefs which were catastrophically wrong. Boris Johnson has strong personal beliefs in enriching his mates and throwing parties. Being a bit wishy washy and middle of the road isn't good, but it's so far from deserving of "second least popular PM ever" it's not even funny.

    I agree. I don't think stalmer is the worst. Especially in the rogues gallery we've had the last decades... But honestly the man seems like he was never the right person for the role and sounds like he knew it. I think no one else was there so he saw it as something he had to do (out of duty or something). But end of the day I can't sympathise with him. The country needs tough love and real leadership and he's not that. Hes had 2 years to come up with and present a clear vision for his UK and I still don't see it. Hopefully Andy has something in mind otherwise this is gonna repeat :/.
