Meeting between Boris and his aides shortly before he resigned. Chief Aide; “Now then, Boris - the country has finally cottoned on to the fact that you’re a useless blimp that can’t tell the same lie twice, so you have to go. Boris: “Jolly good, *chortle* spiffing. - Hang on, aren’t you supposed to be on my side?” Aide: “Here’s the plan - we replace you with someone even more inept, so that fairly soon the public will forget that you’re a shameless self-serving toerag without an ounce of integrity and the party will vote for you because they have no morals anyway.” Boris: “Jolly good, *chortle* spiffing. - Hang on, where are we going to find anyone worse than me?” The door opens - "Hello everyone *giggle*” Aide: “Ah, come in Liz” Boris: "Jolly good, *chortle* spiffing.”
Labour saying they are "scared" of Penny Mordaunt winning! In other words PM would be as bad as Liz so let's big her up.
Johnson says he's got the numbers but won't run. So stays true to his.persona as liar in chief. Someone has had a word in his ear once he get half sober this morning after months of being drunk as drunk can be and shambling back off the plane. They've reminded him he'd have to resign after a wet week once the inquiry got going.
Big day today - we get to find out who our next unelected leader is. Don't get excited now. Interesting to see what new catastrophe they can bring down on our heads.
The gammon rejected the non white candidate in favour of the lunatic white person. We already know the tory grass roots don't want him. We already know johnson has been advised to wait until his inquiry is over. This is set up for a tory rebellion before the next election and theres no way anyone is having one of these before the full term is served.
From the Beeb: See - the rest of the world knows he's a complete tit, it's only a sizeable proportion of us who thinks he's remotely competent.
in fairness to the drunken oaf if sunak dropped out and left him unopposed it'd probably go up as well.
The upper limit for getting the max amount each time was something like $175k a year, in the US. The money wasn't going to just those in hardship. It was going to people who didn't need it. Honestly, I was saving more money during COVID because almost never left the house. I personally didn't need thousands of $ chucked at me from the government every three or four months. It did help me (and many others) upsize buying a house, which led to crazy house price inflation (and with it hurt the poorest, the people who needed help most, because now they were priced out of buying a house. I'll always take money thrown at me, but the money should have been thrown at those who needed it, not those of us in the middle-or-above.
So from what I understand of Sunak, which isn't much, he's actually fairly moderate (at least compared to Boris or Truss), so should be a step up from what Britain has had for a while now. Is that accurate?
depends on what you mean by moderate i.e. social , economic , truth though to slightly misquote Alan Clark they are all economic with the truth .
I mean, Boris and Truss is pretty low on the low bar scale. In terms of moderate: he favours low taxes, but is fiscally responsible so did announce tax increases previously. Won't be a big spender (except on corona) and unlikely to do much for levelling up. Understanding but not passionate about green issues. Is super rich. Not a great speaker or a big personality. Does that help?
Really down to earth and in touch with the working man too it seems... - millionaire - twelve homes - tax dodging wife - cut Universal Credit by £20 per week - a wealth of £730m (double King Charles) - claims to not know anyone that is working class - doesn't know how much fuel to put in a car
