At least when Labour takes over the reigns of government it will be a peaceful transition of power, Hooliganism is in the heart and soul of the UK populace. It’s their state of nature. If they start caring about their government like they care about their sport, not even god can save us all… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 We’ve now entered a timeline where Nadine Dorries is the voice of reason, ie the Tories cant just impose another leader without a GE. Though she probably means the Tories shoukd just stick with Truss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, is going to become defining. She looks out over a room of journos trying to find a friendly face to ask her a soft question and can't see a single one... and she is totally flummoxed. Lost.

Holy shit. That is fucking hilarious. Online predictors suggest that would correlate to a Labour majority of 358 with just 56 Tory MPs surviving.

Nah, she's been pretty vocal that Truss should call a GE anyway. Don't give her credit, though: what she means is that they should bring Boris back.

How terrible was that press conference though, like no one is reassured when she's going on about 'our commmitment to financial stability' More spending cuts after everyone's realized that austerity was a gigantic failure Edited October 15, 2022 by Raja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) I like how when sacked from senior roles in government you then have to write a letter praising the person who just sacked you. Me as a 12 year old - “Dear Newsagent who just sacked me for refusing to deliver a paper to that house where the dog always tries to bite me, I fully support your goal of delivering newspapers to all your customers and accept that I, as somebody who doesn’t want to be bitten by a dog, am not the correct person to help you fulfil that goal going forward …” Edited October 15, 2022 by john Matrim Fox Cauthon, Poobah, Derfel Cadarn and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no downsides to people taking antibiotics for non-bacterial infections… … oh wait … I’ve actually noticed my GP being more lax than orevious with regards to this, prescribing them over the phone.

The Anti-Targ Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 On 10/15/2022 at 12:30 AM, DaveSumm said: I’ll be curious to see what the angle is for why Kwasi gets sacked, if that’s what’s happening. I mean don’t get me wrong, he appears to be massively shit as a Chancellor, but he’s pretty much only had time for one mini-budget which Truss signed off on. What’ll be the ostensible reason for it? I would guess she could try to wriggle out of being responsible for the original cut of the 45p rate and the corporate tax rate by saying that it is the Chancellor's responsibility to do the sums and make sure the plan adds up, and she signed off on it at his word that the calculations supported these cuts. Y'know, by the time you get to be chancellor you shouldn't need the PM to check your homework. One could even argue that Truss is too thick to be able to understand the accounting stuff and does need to complete trust her Chancellor to get the numbers right. So doing the tax cuts now and causing all this chaos really is Kwarteng's fault, and he should have told Truss they needed to wait at least 6 months before taking the knife to tax rates. IMO it's not Truss's economic and financial illiteracy that should sink her, it's her total ineptidude at being PM, being in control of her party and cabinet and conveying a sense of responsibility and stability. How long on the opposition benches before the Tories can claim to be the strong and stable lot compared the the chaos of Labour, and have a decent enough chink of the electorate believe them? Or are they going to try it on for the next election? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
