The Conservative Party

Tricky one.
However he has already said that he will no longer state his opinions publicly and with his 70 year apprenticeship for the job he will probably manage that.

On his first visit to NI, he already said something that I don’t think Queen Elizabeth would have said.
When introduced to Michelle O’Neill with Geoffrey Donaldson next to her he said something to the effect of……
Ah Michelle isn’t it, I believe you’re the largest party in Stormont now.

Geoffrey’s face was a picture.

But you could never imagine the Queen saying anything political with picture and sound turned on and it such a high profile event.

There is little doubt to me that within a short time, the Conservative Party will politicise the passing of the Queen by positioning themselves as the party of the monarchists and will make out that a vote for anyone else would be a step towards a republic. After the last three years of government ministers always appearing with a picture of the Queen behind them along with a Union Jack it's not a difficult prediction to make.

Against that though, there are videos of the appalling truss woman decrying the monarchy and calling for its abolition, and of course, decrying brexit as well.
These could be put to good use.
 
Another legacy from Mrs Thatcher. An interesting article on the different approaches between UK and Norway regarding oil and gas reserves.

Did the U.K. Miss Out on £400 Billion Worth of Oil Revenue? | Natural Resource Governance Institute

We are still paying for her decision to privatise £1bn of BNOC assets in 1980.
Norway took a different approach and most tellingly, nationalised significant oil production which earned them significant revenues on top of the taxation revenues.
Meanwhile they have accrued an oil fund of $1.3 trillion.

Its not just now that Tories are lining the pockets of the big multinationals, they have been doing it for decades.
 
My Mrs has a theory that Truss is the fallgirl. She clearly has little support amongst MPs and the public except Tory members. The Tories are set to lose the next election, so why have someone who may just have a brain cell fighting a lost cause? Let her do her worst till the next election and then she will be gone.

I think that's exactly what she is, and the last line is exactly what this bunch of chancers are there for. Vandalism and leave Labour to take the blame.

Ah, but if the monarchy is threatened by one party claiming to be royalist (and the climate change denying party too) isn't that an existential threat to the neutrality of the Crown?
 
They don't ever want to listen to the whole economic story.

Even if the cuts could work as designed, a workforce that's already suffering from excessive illness and scarcity of treatment, is to be left to suffer increasing poverty, food and heating poverty not to mention many other losses of potential wellbeing they can no longer afford. What do we expect? Low productivity and piling on the long term costs for the state.

I'm not sure that's true. If the Tories understand anything, it is the importance of being in power.
 
She could well be PM after next election with a razor thin majority.

Labour need a swing bigger than 1997 to form a true government.

They could try and do a deal with the yellow Tories or SNP. The yellow Tories would more likely go over to the Tories again if they needed them to keep power.

Isn't there a video of Starmer doing the same? Not sure they can use that one.

Indeed, but it could stop the ever-cynical frauds in the Tories trying to pass off their patriotic, flag-waving hysterics as sincere.
Their desire to be ‘British’ no matter how damaging it is to the nation should never be underestimated.
 
There’s quite an interesting dynamic forming between the Tory so called government and the royal family especially Charlie. Generally speaking the Tories are seen as the establishment party and thus natural allies to the royals, however, the one thing the royals are is pro union. The current mob of reckless Brexit gangsters masquerading as a government are a clear and present danger to the Union, this won’t have escaped the attention of the royals and the wider establishment. They also won’t forget Johnson sent his lickspittle ReesTwat to lie to the queen on Johnson’s behalf. I wouldn’t be surprised if the royals subtly help Starmer rid us of this rabble.

I thought this too. The Queen reputedly liked Harold Wilson the best. A hint and I a republican. Allies can come from strange places.
