It shows how fucked up the current government are that I'm agreeing with a lot of what Tarzan says...

The Tories will when the next election IF the supreme court uphold their appeal on sending Migrants to Rwanda.

Sky/BBC will happily film them arriving into to country,
chucked on a bus to the nearest airport and flown out in the same day.

In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they called a GE at the same time.

Just seen some content that said the Party of Business who's conference starts today will have 28 business display stands paid for by businesses in the foyer. At the upcoming Labour Party Conference there will be 83........ says it all really. Potholes and 20mph zones are not an election winning strategy

To be fair, focussing on potholes and local traffic calming measures is an excellent political strategy when running for election.


Election to the local parish council.

I doubt it.

The only hope Sunak’s got is tapping into the “woke” and “war on the motorist” shit that he’s obsessed with now.

It’ll keep the existing Tory Sun voters on board but the sensible Tories and swing voters aren’t going to be persuaded by this populist waffle.

Sunak is going on local radio talking about potholes while Starmer is holding trade talks with world leaders. Says everything about where they’re both at.

It's the only thing they've got to win is to stoke up the culture wars.

I still won't rule out Labour doing a Spursy either.

I know what you mean about Labour but this current campaign feels a lot more Blair than Miliband.

Alastair Campbell summed it up well when he said it’s like Starmer has a precious trophy already in his hands but just needs to carry it across a slippy street without falling on his own arse.

That's a good way of putting it.

The mention of 15 minute cities was a concern. That's taken a real hold in the post-covid conspiracy world, and is the kind of thing you'd expect from some of the more dangerous US Republicans.

There are many in the Tory party who would welcome our democracy heading the way of the US, which is a scary thought.
