Boris...

The current government/parliament need a Saturn rocket up their backsides

Regardless of being in power or the opposition they are elected to represent and serve the best interests the whole population not just those who voted for them

I see none of that in the main parties, Labour only want to criticise the Government without offering anything better

If Labour had won the election we would be in the same position but with the Tory leader doing a Keir Starmer

Starmer has no back bone. He's just some poncy lawyer, that tries to catch Boris out after digesting a dictionary, only for Boris to saddle him like a lump of lard.

I'd like to see Dominic Raab as the next PM but it will probably be Rishi.

Oh aye, 2 of the infamous 5 Tory twats who co-authored a book in which they described British workers as ‘amongst the most idle in the World’. Lazy bastards who’d ‘prefer a lie in to hard work’ and espoused the idea that we should graft like Asians, whilst the wealthy pay hardly any tax obvs.

Doff thy cap.

Once someone explained to Big Dom that the Channel was quite important to trade he was unstoppable.

Sunak is being kept well away from this absolute ****show so he’s next in line.

Priti ****ing Patel ffs. This country.

Raab has the brains of a rocking horse, he’s literally as thick as two short planks.

Rishi is yet to put a foot wrong tbf. Mind you, up to now he’s been doling out the dosh; might be a different matter when it comes time to present the taxpayer with the bill.

I'd love to think he posted that for bait, but sadly I think you're right.

Although I like Duggie, he sticks up for himself when needs must without going into rhetoric.
I like Duggie, he’s sound, but he’d fit right in on the Leeds politics thread, that is best described via the medium of a gif

The only time I have ever seen my easy going dad shout at the telly, was when Prince Philip, fresh from a hard day riding a pony and trap round Sandringham, decided to tell some gathered reporters that “The Britsish worker needs to pull his finger out”.

“The British worker’s given you everything you’ve got, you freeloading Greek ponce”, yelled my apoplectic old dad.

Agree about Sunak, albeit his hedge fund past is a bit of a worry tbh, but on face value he appears to be the best of ****ing awful bunch, by quite some distance.

Yeah, it’s quite handy having a Chancellor who at least seems to understand something about how economies work. George ****ing Odbourne certainly didn’t, he had to be told that taking money out of a contracting economy wasn’t the best way to revive it.

Eventually he got the message and started investing public money into major projects like HS1 and Crossrail, but by then the damage had already been done by his disastrous austerity programme. Robin Hood in reverse, that ****, and clueless with it.

I’ll give Sunak his due, he recognised the huge implications of locking down a service economy, and there was nothing conservative (note small ‘c’) in his bold and rather courageous response.

Yeah Osbourne ffs. ‘We’re all in this together’ as he simultaneously cut the highest rate of tax by 5% whilst slashing benefits and taxing box rooms for the most deprived. ****ing idiot.
 
The problem is i can't see anyone from Labour or Tory who is a statesman/woman and who could unite Parliament and do what's needed in the next few years to recover from Covid and Brexit

On the valuation of what i've seen so far, I'd say Sunak for PM, but, and this is my gut feeling erring on the side of caution, I tend to think, that Boris has him on a bit of a chain, for the good of the Tory party.

By that I mean, they don't want the bad press, especially during a pandemic, because people would never forgive and forget.

I'm worried once Sunak is eventually let loose, and he will be, we might regret favouring him. Boris is playing the fat controller at the moment, but once the train departs, I fear Sunak might start making front page headlines for all the wrong reasons.
