Off Topic The Politics Thread

I believe the enquiry into Mermaids is by the Charity Commission, but MP's have this month asked for a police investigation. As I say, I'll reserve judgment

 

Oh I’m not conflating anything. It’s an arse about face perspective being shown. If you are concerned that trans rights would be detrimental to a democratic, there would need to be a concern about the rights and safety of the demographic it affects.

If you have a concern for a demographic where would you focus your concern? An absolutely demonstrated factor that is by far and away the biggest danger and threat? Or a totally unsubstantiated potential, that even if you did conceive to be a threat, would provide a tiny percentage compared to the other. The argument doesn’t stand up in the slightest.

 

If true this is seriously taking the piss...

 

Get that he won an election, but a lot has changed since then and a lot has been revealed about his behaviour. Surely that'd be grounds for Starmer to demand an election.

 

I doubt even Johnson would be arrogant enough to risk it. They’ll ride this out for a couple of years and attract the same mugs to vote for them that always do.

 

Johnson jacks it in. Sunak coronation tomorrow.

 

Praise the lord

 

He did his best though

 

Johnson quoted as saying he wanted to go for the leadership to avert a general election...goes on to say;

"And though I have reached out to both Rishi (Sunak) and Penny (Mordaunt) - because I hoped that we could come together in the national interest - we have sadly not been able to work out a way of doing this."

Doesn't that kinda throw both of them under the bus with the party members who (for some reason) love Boris and have been calling for his return? If he really cared about the national interest he'd have stayed in the Caribbean.

 

At every turn Johnson makes a bigger **** of himself.

 

He’s made a bigger **** of some of his colleagues.

 

The liar-in-chief is even lying in defeat. 'I had the numbers, but it's not the right time'. **** off, **** right off you ridiculous ****.

Never mind, Col.

 

The next Michael Gove.

 

Shame.
The scenes on here would have been epic.

 

An absolute shame but a lucky escape for the country

 

Leadership race not over yet. Mordaunt's team say they are coming close to the 100 threshold. If she makes it, and she and Sunak are put to the Tory membership, I would think Mordaunt might be favourite, since Boris supporters still see Sunak as a snake in the grass.

 

FFS Stroller we know you don’t like the bloke but that statement is pathetic

 

Any more than pathetic than some people wanting a leader, not based on competence, but because it might wind some people up? Interesting
