Rishi Sunak

[The Stockport Iniesta]

TBH I think they will go to the country once they realise they have fucked it completely and have too little time to haul it back. Then campaign to minimise losses and blame all the following shite on Labour anyway.

They blamed Labour for the 2008 financial crisis, so they have previous.

Disgusted with the right wing coverage today by the BBC, capped it off tonight moreso with the Palestine, Israel reporting.

Even Victoria Derbyshire trying to explain anyway Sunak's comments about diverting resources to poor areas, and restoring it to "areas like this". He was talking about pour rural areas, she said. Didn't he say it in Tunbridge Wells?

Vaccine roll out missing there. That’ll be for the rollover jackpot, I’d imagine!

Definitely a GE at the 'least worst' point. After the last decade the tories deserve to be in the bin for two generations, but if the next labour govt are anything less than brilliant the Murdoch press will manage to sell the myth of Tory economic competence to future generations:-(

Preaches accountability, goes on to appoint Stella. Lol.

Another in a long line of people who enjoyed the finest private education and then became a bleedin' hedge fund manager.

Sadly, it looks like destructive right wing policies and politics has followed every other destructive American export to the shores of Jolly Old!

One problem is that America is now so right leaning that Democrats in the US are akin to middle of the road Conservatives in the U.K., and it’s the Republican RIGHT that is getting through to the Conservatives in power now! 8-(

I guess they’ve realized there’s just too much money to be made to feign pretense any more. Look out below!

The problem with the conservative party at the moment is it's a sort of flag convenience for the waifs and strays from other extreme right wing parties, such as UKIP. When they realised their support for foghorns of ignorance like Farage or whoever wasn't going to get them anywhere, they joined a 'respectable' political party that traditional conservative members didn't recognise was happening.

Over 50% of long standing conservative members have cancelled their membership since 2019 because their party doesn't represent the values they hold, and we are in a pickle because of that. As one analyst said today, there are so many shades of blue within the tories, unity of any sort will be almost impossible to achieve, and when you factor in the disperate political backgrounds of so many conservative MP's and cabinet members, I'm finding it hard to disagree with that viewpoint.

I don't think it's a political party with a unity of purpose at the moment, and as there is so much infighting between them, any sort of agreement on how best to run the country will be impossible.

Sunak and Mourdant were the two front runners in the leadership campaign. The figures haven't been published, but it's probable that a third of tory MP's couldn't find it within themselves to select either candidate, which doesn't bode well.
