Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

[Blumers Bloomers]

If Labour don’t get in at the next election, they may as well just disband. Any credible alternative party would absolutely wipe the floor with this shower.

6 letters. Begins with B.

He was a remainer. The vote wasn’t really foreign policy in the true sense more to put the internal debate to bed, he never expected to lose - he never should have. Brexit wasn’t even lost because we had a vote (although the wisdom to ask us to vote on monumental decisions is very questionable) but rather because remain got dragged in to leaves orbit. The EU costs us £x million, no it doesn’t it only costs us £y million. The vote was won or lost on this. Remain should have said for the money we get and said it loud and proud.

We’re not generally a radical group of people on this fair isle and remain grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

Most of them don’t need to but that doesn’t stop the greedy bankers.

Sunak will be getting his rewards for oil licenses and £500m bung to Tata.

Everything in this country is smoke and mirrors. If I said “let’s become communists” then, aside from @Rascal I’d probably get a lot of negative answers but the reality is every single penny we earn eventually goes to the state. Every single penny. The only difference between capitalism and communism is time.

Clarke would be an excellent choice (perhaps he was approached). Not sure about Heseltine, he’s a bit more divisive.

And just like Cameron they belong in the past.

Although the Conservative Party will soon exist only in history books, so perhaps it's fitting that Rishi has one last tour of his Tory supergroup.

Slight edit for accuracy and grammar.

Haha. Facist. That's the biggest laugh I'll get this week

The date of the letter?

I know he was a remainer and his foreign policy in relation to Europe failed disastrously. He went there to try and secure concessions that he could present to the British people as justification for our future full participation in the EU and failed miserably.

To my mind, this is Sunak figuring out the Government needs to be more 'left' (in Tory terms) to attract moderate voters, especially those in prosperous southern areas.

It's a gamble because the populist right is so strong in his party (especially at the grass-roots level, given that most members are septuagenarian UKIP types) that it could shatter the Conservative Party 'coalition' completely. Voters tend not to support parties that are engaged in civil war.

Sunak is showing unexpected strength here. I didn't think he had the bottle. However, his party may well now smash itself. Will some desert, either to Reform or to some sort of new, populist party?

Brexit was won on one theme: immigration.

Cheerio, when political figures get mentioned in bad light in another country you know they are not good ones.
