It’s bloody sad mate, he should be tearing them a new arsehole, he’s flaming useless, even read yesterday some of his own MPs are pissed off with him. Once the rumbling starts there is no stopping it. He could of sank without a trace before the election even gets here.
He doesn't need to do anything marra. Incoming prime minister Rishi Sunak could be forced out as Conservative leader by disgruntled Boris Johnson loyalists within six months, according to Labour. It comes as some Tory supporters have cancelled their memberships after Mr Sunak was named as Liz Truss’s successor, with one saying they felt the party had been “destroyed from within”. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ak-boris-tory-membership-cancel-b2209821.html
Firstly, who is Sajid Khan? I've looked up one of that name who plays Cricket for Pakistan, and another who is an Indian Film Director. Both have been to Asia. As for Rishi, why should he, or any other person born in England, need to have been to Asia to qualify as a PM? I SUSPECT he has, if only to meet his In-laws or to accompany his wife when she attends board meeting of her Fathers company. PERHAPS YOU CAN TELL ME WHICH PREVIOUS PM's have needed to pass this test? It's only a suspicion on my part but given his performance as Chancellor and comparing this to Truss's ministerial efforts, the only reason Liz won was the racism of the upper middle class Tory Members in The Shires. Many of these are now resigning, something which we should all rejoice at. The idea of such a person as PM would appal many of them. If it makes the Racists feel any better, think of it as an Englishman, (Rishi was born in Southampton), married an Indian heiress thus carrying on that old Empire Tradition of extracting wealth from The Sub-continent.
Much better than yesterday from Sunak there. Hopefully he gets cracking with sorting this **** show out ASAP. My fixed rate is up next year, not looking forward to seeing what I'll be paying then.
Mines just under 800 but that's at about 2.5% (it was a 5 year fixed rate). I'm going to get absolutely walloped, its up next September so hopefully things are a bit better by then.
This annoys me as much as the mess the tories have created to be honest. A strong opposition would be hammering home policy after policy and telling everyone how they would fix the mess and move us forward. Labour only seem able to trot out cliches, puns and a constant call for a general election. They seem to have nothing to say worthwhile. Labour should be unassailable right now, and I wish they were, but they dont seem to have the capability to make it so. Sad really. My guess would be Sunak will lead the Tories at the next election, Starmer wont lead the Labour party. If this massive lead starts to evaporate Raynor and others will be agitating, in my opinion anyway. Still to be seen if peace can last between Starmer and Raynor for me.
None of the opposition parties are to blame for this mess. The current administration had a massive majority and carte blanche to carry out whichever measures would help the country. Johnson, and now the rest of them, keep saying how Brexit was delivered when that's just a word ... ... we need to see some Brexit benefits delivered other than going back to Imperial measurements and a different coloured passport.
I can sense a different atmosphere all ready, so if I can Labour MPs can. Pull your finger out Keir you are going to disappear again.
Looking back at what has happened, from, say the end of WW11, I've been trying to think of any previous occasion when it was considered a constitutional requirement, or even necessary, to hold a General Election if a PM Resigned and the majority Party carried on in Government with their new Leader taking the post of PM. Churchill retired and recommended Eden. NO General Election. Eden forced out after the farce over Suez, recommended McMillan. NO General Election. McMillan Forced out by his senior colleagues, recommended Lord Hume. NO General Election Harold Wilson, retired on health grounds, party selected James Callaghan. NO General Election Maggie. Forced out by her Cabinet. Party selected John Major to succeed. NO General Election Tony retired and handed the reigns over to Gordon Brown. NO General Election. Cameron retired. Party selects Mrs May. NO General Election. May forced out. Boris selected by Party. NO General Election. There was no great call for an Election when Truss was appointed either. Can anyone explain why there NEEDS to be a General Election NOW? (Apologies if I've missed anybody, but you will get the gist of my point). PS I heard Sturgeon asking for a General Election last night, on the grounds that The Tory Party had no mandate. When she took over from Alex Salmond, as Scotlands First Minister, mid-term, I don't recall her offering the voters in Scotland an election.
I thought Labour voters only hated Jewish people. Turns out they hate anybody who isn't a white Brit. Go Labour. Documents reveal discrimination and racism in UK Labour Party Al Jazeera reveals how Labour created a hierarchy of racism that discriminated against Black, Asian and Muslim members. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.al...-discrimination-and-racism-in-uk-labour-party
It's like time wasting in football, a cumulative effect ... ... never in the field of human conflict have so many promises been made, changed and broken by so many PMs in such a short space of time. When one PM hands over to another similar PM that's one thing. This has been a succession of people sacking each other, backstabbing each other and spouting polar opposite policies. Sunak has become PM in a process of becoming Chancellor, ex-Chancellor, failing to be elected as PM two months ago and having no opposition to being PM this time. Go back through history, find a similar scenario and you might have a point.
I am aware the opposition didnt create the current mess. What I am asking for is any of them come up with a plausible plan for fixing it and doing better. Playing pretend comedian, or repeating the same old asks everytime you speak is hardly the sort of brave new government I am after. Being the least worst should not be the labour hope when it comes to forming a government, but that seems to be all we have to look forward to.
Some unelected halfwit not deliberately crashing the economy then appointing someone else unelected to try to mitigate the effects of the crashed economy would be a start. Of course that was all Keir Starmer's fault
