Sunak or Truss?
There was a headline in The New European recently warning about Truss as PM. That’s probably going to influence my decision.

Think it through.
Truss == Boris 2.0

LIz == 5 more years of blaming the Scots and the EU.

The others do. I would have no doubts after Cuch recommendation.

Cuch is making a powerful case.

Truss does seem more of a Thatcher wannabe than Sunak. Given that you’re reliving the 70’s with double digit inflation and a major recession coming up, that probably fits the theme. Just add some flared trousers and excess hair and call it a day!

who said this?
In remarks made in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, last week he said: "I managed to start changing the funding formulas, to make sure areas like this are getting the funding they deserve because we inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone.
"I started the work of undoing that."

What is wrong with the 80s?

I enjoyed the 80’s. Of course, I basically spent that entire decade as a student, and I liked being a student.

My money is on backbencher Boris and the Daily Mail (or was it the Telegraph).
MPs are annoyed that he was unfairly ousted from power.

No postdocs? It's even better.

That wasn’t a thing in finance at the time. If memory serves me right, the ratio of open assistant professor positions to graduating PhDs in the US was roughly 5:1, so you might as well get a proper academic job.
