Lone Striker Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Sunak is the absolute worst PM for not giving relevant responses to points & questions raised by the Leader of the Opposition. Almost every time, his tactic is deflection followed by a whataboutery jibe at Starmer. I felt Starmer missed a trick today by not responding to Sunak's deflection answer about not handing back the £10m to the racist donor ...... by asking something like "Given the PM's response & reason for it, can he therefore now confirm that if these comments had been made by a wealthy Labour donor then he would NOT be calling for me to hand the donation back ?" Its little surprise that some immediate polling shows that a majority of voters (including Tory voters) feel Sunak's response is downright wrong & weak..

SectionDJambo Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The worst thing that that idiot said about Abbott, was that she should be shot. It wasn't funny. No meeting is private anymore. Everyone has a camera and recorder on them. Some nutter could have heard that and thought it was their time to make their mark in life. Given that 2 MPs have been murdered by nutters with different agendas, it was an offensive thing for him to say in front of people he wouldn't have personally known. If he had been a known left wing sympathiser saying that about, let's say Braverman, the media would have been, rightly, all over it, as they have been this time. There is no excuse.

I don't like Abbott as an MP, largely due to her incompetence, but I would love to have her given a platform today to call this out and draw the comparison to what would undoubtedly happen if she had, at any point, said that Hester (or any other privileged white bloke) should be shot. Given the hounding she got for drinking a can of mojito on a tube train, I think it's fair to assume that she'd be forced out of office.

Lone Striker Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak.... maybe Mordaunt. What a parcel of rogues in one form or another - they all owe their time in the limelight to Cameron's terrible decision to save his own skin by caving in to the ERG nutters demands that he negotiate "concessions" from the EU or else call a referendum on EU membership referendum. From that moment on, he was a hostage to fortune - battered by the EU when he tried to get concessions on the fundamental concept of free right of movement for EU citizens to move to and work in Britain...... and when that failed, he got battered by his old Bullingdon buddy and his band of brain-dead followers. It was all downhill from there for the Tory party, but even worse it was downhill for the country. James O'Brien's book about the events is well worth a read. "How They Broke Britain". Thatcher would be turning in her grave at the idea that her Tory successors would be the ones to feck the country up on the back of ignorance and deliberate deceit.

Victorian Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Say they got another term. What reason is there to expect fewer than about 3 or 4 leaders over the course of the term? None of them are interested in public service. It's all for the pay-offs and spin-offs. An annual event of a leader, an exiting leader, another ex-leader to be protected by the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection division, another leadership contest pantomime, another list of peerages and honours being doled out, another cabinet reshuffle, it goes on.
