The Conservative Party

Ric said:
No, sadly. The Conservative Party are all about self-preservation rather than the greater national good, and turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. We’re stuck with these clowns until 24/25 unfortunately.

On the face of it, yes, but right now we have Hunt swanning around as de facto PM and Truss sitting in a bunker somewhere and that isn’t sustainable and every Tory MP knows it.

So, Truss resigns or is forced out, and then what? Another PM is coronated without going to the membership, and another Chancellor is appointed as we head to a world of pain with higher prices, higher mortgage rates, higher taxes and the axe taken to public services and public pay, because no matter who the next Tory PM/Chancellor combo is, it Is the markets who are running our economy.

There is literally, no world in which this situation can last. A Govt without authority or credibility and little public support is barely going to make to 2023 let alone 2024.

Which ever way you look at things were in for a world of pain for the next few years
 
Speaker of the house is too scared to beat these fuckers down in case he loses his peerage.

For the umpteenth time a major announcement affecting the whole country is being released to the press first over parliament.
 
Just got a BBC alert that Hunt is going to axe the energy bill support?

That's literally the one popular policy they have and made up the bulk of their talking points at the conference last week.

Whilst I agree with this, I can’t see it changing any time soon. Labour won’t support electoral reform regardless of what the membership vote for as moving to pr will be the death of them as a party, can’t see a Labour leader willingly letting that happen, at least not one like Starmer.

Except that’s likely not true. It would be the death of the Tories, who’d be gone from the political landscape for decades, no doubt.
A social democratIc centre left coalition is exactly what’s needed and one that should be actively pursued by all parties that aren’t the Tories.
The big unknown in PR terms is how many more people would vote, as their vote would actually mean something, likely making things even worse for the Tories. What Labour should be focussing on is delivering for the country and that, for me at least, is keeping these shysters out of office for as long as possible!
Prior to the 2019 election, which was an anomaly for all the known reasons, 14 million voters were in seats that hadn’t changed hands since world war 2, while 11 Labour and 54 Conservative seats haven’t changed party hands in over a century. Clearly this is nonsensical and leads to a huge democratic deficit.

Is it not the case that it is being scaled back in its duration as opposed to its entirety? Rather comical if they scale it back to six months, as per Labour's policy.
 
So they're not scrapping the 45p tax and keeping it but also keeping lower rate at 20p and not 19p.

Scaling back energy support, so uncertainty really. We have this winter then no one knows what the future looks like for the working man.
