Dr Strangelove (how I learned to stop worrying and love Boris)

Wasn't one of Sunak's slogans that he'd 'United the Party' <laugh>

Can't wait for tomorrow's slogan ...

... should be a cracker.


Priti Patel attacks Rishi Sunak for overseeing ‘managed decline’ of Tory party.

As much as I'm no fan of Sunak, he's not the problem in my opinion. In his naked ambition for power, Boris Johnson surrounded himself with sycophants and cronies that should never have been near the top jobs in politics (Dorries, Patel and Rees-Mogg being amongst the worst). These people all got a taste for the limelight and a taste for power. Without Johnson, they've very little hope of having that power again and so the toys are being thrown out of the pram.

The Conservatives are more divided than the Labour party, they just usually do a better job of putting their differences to one side to make sure they win first. I think they already know they've lost the next election now and this is the start of the battle to take leadership from Sunak after it's done. It'll be interesting though, because none of those mentioned are leadership material and they're still hanging on the idea of Boris making a Trump-like, attempt to return. Those who could be the new face of the right (Braverman or Badenoch) are staying loyal to Sunak... for now.

Agree with most of that mate, it's a real mess atm.

I do cringe at each new slogan though, it's bloody infantile ...

... every statement contains the words ground breaking, historic, world class, etc. I don't see much that reflects that in reality.

Sadly the public are the least important aspect for many MPs.

The very same public who they are SUPPOSED to serve, and who pay their wages!!!
 
Chalk this up for another Brexit win.


Brexit stopped Ukraine invasion from succeeding

"We were able to show global leadership over Ukraine. Putin would probably have invaded Ukraine successfully if the UK had been bound in by the requirement of sincere cooperation and had had to follow a Franco-German line in dealing with Russia, which is what we did in 2014."

A man with an estimated fortune of £150 million (mostly inherited), "collects" vintage Bentleys for a hobby, and lives in a massive mansion in the West Country is a true "man of the people". Not like that awful Kier Starmer who apparently has a "priveleged" background <laugh>

To be fair they did stop Russia invading Ukraine ...

... just like they stopped the boats crossing the Channel and mended the economy.

"See it, say it, sorted."


No action needed ...

... just say you've done it and the job's a good 'un.

**** me that was quick. I think the logical conclusion to all this is to get the excuses in BEFORE the cock up,scandal,failure or u turn. I think they will say they are "world class" in being proactive at getting excuses in with regards to failure <laugh>

Not quite as quick as Starmer mind. He is u turning and getting his excuses in before he is even in power. Only difference I can see is he is scrapping all his pledges, saying they were really his old boss Jeremy's anyway, even though he stood on them in his leadership campaign, and offering no commitment as to what he will do instead.
