Rishi Sunak

[bluethrunthru]

So the UK has given more military aid to Ukraine than any other country barr the states and we/he doesn't matter any more?

Like it or not we are a diminished entity in this world. We have made ourselves difficult to trade with and its about to get worse when the full checks come in at the end of the year - our self governance over the last 2-3 years has been that of a banana republic, its difficult to deal with a govt who chops and changes itself so often you cannot build up a rapport with your opposite number before they are toppled by a scandal - shrinking economy - rising debt and biggest rise in the cost of Govt borrowing in the G7. Sunak suffers from all that especially the fact that come the end of the summer recess he may not be in post either....... how can they treat him seriously.

How its going

UK economy 'listless' with little growth in four years

The economy shrank by 0.1% in May and has barely grown since 2019 before the pandemic.

Not sure why Sunak seems to be smirking for much of that. Obviously doesn’t give a shit.

They don’t give one shiny shit. All they’re bothered about is satisfying their donors’ demands. If they meet those demands they probably think they’re doing a good job and don’t care a jot about the general population, rules, laws, common decency, spouting lies, not showing up to parliament, getting grilled and being shown up to be inept but sitting there grinning…

They’re a disgrace.

Not sure about that. This government have done very little well… almost nothing well… but they eve been excellent around the invasion of Ukraine.

Maybe we are a diminished entity when Canada wants to buy whisky from us but we aren’t when it comes to this. The Ukrainian army has been coming here to train to fight Russia and we are up there with providing them with the most arms in Europe.

If this govt had run it’s own country with the quality they’ve helped out Ukraine, they’d have been a great govt. Zelensky has been very impressed with the aid they’ve received from us.

Anybody who thinks the Tories are supporting Ukraine as a genuine act of support are absolutely bonkers - this government does nothing for anyone or anything unless it has a benefit to them - it’s merely another distraction like Covid , the “boat people” and Brexit for them to hide behind - their performance has been appalling and shambolic and Johnson, Truss and Sunak should hang their heads in shame, they are in every way political criminals.

Quick question - agreeing to meet independent paybodies recommendations - does that also fix schools and hospitals in danger of collapse? Will it get more/newer scanners into the NHS? Will it retains teachers in work and stop newly trained doctors from going to Australia?

Thought not

Doesn’t fix them but at least a bit of good news for some workers in the pay review - there was a recent separate announcement around the hospitals (NHP), for example one hospital my daughter is going to be working as a midwife at (just trained) has just been given go ahead to be rebuilt on the existing site. Sadly it’s in a poor state of repair (one of those in danger of collapse and roof being propped up in places) and won’t be completely for another 7 years. And no, it’s not good enough that they have got in to that state before you ask, not good enough at all.

Here he is trying to push his way into a photo op with a group of people who are saying to him "fuck off you don't matter any more"

So uncomfortable, nearly Johnson’esque.

The UK has paved the way for Ukraine to receive Leopard tanks (by supplying challenger 2) and cruise missiles (by supplying shadow storm) from others so the pair of you can fuck right off with your snide cheap remarks on this topic.

Behave yourself.
