    Are they infinitely further on? How so?

    They've swapped Corbyn for Default Man. All the old scores are still there to be settled, the same feeling that they're much happier fighting each other than the tories. The same crackpots saying the same things every so often. At the moment they're still the 'hold my beer' party in many people's eyes.

    Not exactly a Blairesque transformation into a party that looks eminently able and ready to govern.

    Replacing ****e with ****e-but-it's-wearing-my-team's-colours and celebrating it isn't a way to improve the standard of politics.

    [QUO
    They are in the minds of the electorate and that's all that matters.

    Whether that's by improving or looking better at the side of what you're standing next to is irrelevant.

    Truss was voted in by default because her opponent was seen as the worse of two evils.

    Labour will be elected on the basis that they can't possibly be worse than the last last twelve years.

    Supervisor :"Liz, go and pick that litter out of the ditch" Liz stares at him blankly and says "I don't agree with the premise of that question" <laugh>

    Sadly the supervisor is Hunt who's now in the best position he's ever been in and knows it.

    He'll claim all the credit, if it goes well, and blame the daft lass if it goes wrong ...

    ... he's now the PM in everything but the title and everyone knows it.

    But will the grey-haired old Cotswold Doris's, who elected the latest British Prime Minister, be feeling any guilt or remorse ....

    ... or will they lay the blame on Diane Abbott and Not606 <laugh>

    Nah, they won't really give a jot. Sitting alone in their five bedroomed detached cottage in Suffolk safe in the knowledge their pension is triple locked whilst muttering about putting young people in the army :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    How on earth are they allowed to be a registered charity and where does the money go?

    I knew it was all our fault, we just don't get business or how to maximise public finances for our families and friends.

    Should rename the forum the "Anti Growth Coalition". They would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky Marxist Sunderland fans.

    Being more capable at doing the job is what matters.

    In the minds of the electorate, UKIP did very well indeed. Would you fancy Nigel as PM?

    It's possible to pay attention to both this thread and the match.

    Tremendous craic one and all, it was great chatting with you all...

    Now there are fears that UK assets will come under more pressure next week after the Prime Minister's U-turn on corporation tax and sacking of chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng failed to assuage her political critics or answer doubts over the Government's finances.

    Reaches for the malt..
