When I saw that graphic with BW way out ahead, I had to concede that he might well turn around this Junta’s fortunes. And I feel dirty saying that. As Tories go, he appears to have a backbone, has a degree of intellect befitting the position of PM and most importantly, possesses a moral compass, But he will still deliver Tory policies of course. 9 hours ago, Dawnrazor said: He's a local MP near me, he's very well thought of and down to earth. Any time I've watched him, lads. I've said to myself "Now, what can I say about this guy" and it's usually nothing bad. Except he's a Tory So there's still hope.

She should shut her mouth and concentrate on running Scotland, and maybe cut our disasters like education, transport and health. If we can't get rid of the Tories, you're not getting rid of the SNP.

The Scottish Government receive around half of the Tax it brings in. It has something like 100m borrowing, but somehow has a deficit of 12b. We also , as a population of 5m spend 15b more in the economy of rUk , who has a population of 62m. No that's unity for you. 👍. I wonder how much oil money ran oot this year. Anyway. Boris will now go for broke, by either killing us all by going to war with Russia or decorating England by hiring the same women he used to do up his flat at #10.

Unknown user Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 1 hour ago, ri Alban said: What's the chances of an Autumn G.E? I think we'll see a leadership change but not a GE. These Tories don't care about convention, they only barely care about actual rules, so I think they'll get a new leader in and decide to batter on with an 80 seat majority. Their only real alternative is a GE which they'll come out of in much worse nick. The 80 seat majority is a double edged sword in this situation, it gives them space to do their legislating, but it also means an awful lot of squeaky bums at the thought of facing the electorate again as labour and the libdems lick their lips. I don't think the government back benches will take much persuading to carry on in power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The only Tory who was a serious politician in the last leadership contest was Rory Stewart but he's a Remoaner not interested in fighting the culture wars and so he won't do for the Tory rank and file. Johnson has stuffed his cabinet full of sycophantic lightweights so there isn't an obvious successor, which funnily enough helps keep him in power. Starmer's policy has been to lie to get the top Labour gig and then just present himself as more competent than Johnson without presenting any real substantive policies. The electorate are lucky to have them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
