Renton

She just reaffirmed to them how useless we all are. We're fit for nothing other than being Amazon drones.

Another day, another set of cunts to hate (well mostly the same cunts tbf).

Sunak needs to accomodate Cruella. A lot of the assumptions on growth Hunt was making, andd supplying to the OBR, were dependent on increased immigration. Which Braverman opposes, obviously. It's just another circle that can't be squared, nothing has been learned.

Totally agree. For me it's more important than any other issue including Brexit. I want 2 things - PR and full federalisation of the UK. Doubt I will see either within my lifetime.

I would hardly say "directly", Krishnan was off air, it was anoyher "mic" moment. Plus he was factually correct, I'm not even sure Baker would deny it. As for PMQ, I can't see anyway Sunak can look good on this. Every which way I look at this Braverman is a blunder. The hypocrisy of her resignation, having the ERG shit in the tent rather than piss in from outside, and the continued conflict with Hunt (the real reason she resigned) is still there. Odd. If I was Starmer I'd also bring up the levelling up Tunbridge Wells video too. In fact I would do that every single PMQ. I think that video is incredibly damaging for him.

These past three PMs have made some right cuntish ministerial appointments: Dorries -Culture. Badenoch - Equality. Patel and Braverman×2 - Home office. Coffey - Health. Rees-Mogg - Business Baker - NI Its an absolute piss take. Not only are they deliberately trolling us to get one over the left, but there's been no stability for years. There's been 6 education appointments this year alone ffs. I'll never get tired of saying it, I fucking hate these cunts with every fibre of my being. Two more years of this shit ro endure. NB: under THIRTEEN years of New Labour, we had two PMs and two chancellors.

She fucking "resigned" last week and stated herself she was right to "resign" for breaking the ministerial code. I think its clear Sunak is a continuation candidate and will be a disaster.

The grey man had a canny shot on him though iirc.

I had a knockabout with Hughie Gallagher once and he wasn't much cop tbh.

My Merlin app agrees.

Could have been an injoke. 🖕

Does this mean the the Imperial Measurements bullshit is getting binned? See, that isn't a spoof yet it's less believable than that WhatApp "leak".

I genuinely can't tell if that WhatsApp leak is a spoof or not btw, that's what the last 6 years of politics have done to me.

Really? Guess Braverman might be the totem to the ERG but if this is true it doesn't bide well for the government imo. I mean it's a problem when people piss outside onto your tent, but she is going to shit inside it.

Well fair enough I guess, we're not really disagreeing, just expressing things differently. I really think you deserve to take my board crown as the glass half full person on here rather than me, it's a mantle I have long wanted to lose having battled with my own personal depression problems! For the record, I do agree the tories have gone down the best road available to themselves here. I do agree we are getting more austerity, and that Labour will not even reverse this. I agree that Starmer is not interested in constitutional change, and therefore frankly I am not arsed in helping out with the party on a personal level like I have in the past (having 2 kids, an ill mother, and full time job not helping there either). I do agree the UK is in a shit place and I don't see anyway out in the short or medium term. But if I've learned anyhting, there is no point in beating yoursef up about things you can't change. Look after yourself mate.

Fairly sure Frank Marcois said something along the line that the ERG will "try" to get behind and support Sunak. Very magnaminous of him.

In my opinion you've designed yourself a narrative where Sunak is going to unite the tory party and turn the economy around enough to win the next general election. You seem to be basing this on evidence as flimsy as a Johnson tweet, otherwise why post it? Now Sunak will undoubtedly get a bounce, probably quite a big one, and I think that will reaffirm things to you. But this description of events to come is really incredibly unlikely. I was listening to a pollster yesterday on the News Agents (cheers for that one btw @Gemmill) who put a tory victory at less than 1%, not even worth considering. That's if history is anything to go by anyway. For your own sake, at least look at things objectively as they really are rather than imagine the worst possible scenarios all the time. Things are shit enough as they are, don't make them worse. The only person I have ever put on ignore was the quiff btw, so don't be silly.

Of course it does. They're all best mates now, all the antipathy and resentment they feel for each other, all the radically different policy directions they believe in, have gone. Labour are doomed. Sorry for the sarcastic response but I'm not sure what you expect from seemingly taking a Boris Johnson tweet at face value?

I think we just need to say ta-tas* to this this thread. * A euphemism so oblique I am going to have share its definition.

You missed "Now perform a U turn. Again".

Tories now saying that Sunak has the experience and knowledge for the job. Literally nobody had heard of this fucker 3 years ago before he was appointed as Johnson's economic sock puppet, and since he was chancellor for the bulk of this time and the economy is now fucked I'm not optimistic in these skills or abiities.

As if. I've completely mammarised that photo.

Can't wait for the one on one debates with Starmer.
