Current Affairs The Conservative Party

They have two years to put it right…

Well, it's certainly started well. For ages, under Johnson, a lot of people were saying it was 'Johnson's majority'. Now? I would have thought a fresh mandate was in everyone's interest. Sensible?

 

[coollino]

if Corbyn bowed a little more to the queen, that time, then none of this would have happened

If Johnson stands, without a shadow of a doubt, he will win the leadership contest. It'll be the same dimwits voting that got Truss in.

It'll leave their parliamentary party completely divided.

The problem for Labour is that the U-turns, as embarrassing as they may be, have delivered virtually what Labour have demanded. The only area now is cuts to services. Limits their attack.

Think about your young family Pete. This will be screwing up their futures too. Swallow your pride and admit they need to call a general election.

Surely the public will back them if they’ve done such a great job?

They will back them but only to eradicate the threat of the “Guardian reading, tofu eating, wokerama Marxist rail workers, or such like.

Strictly speaking neither of us knows who he voted for - but if he did, he hasn't got what it said on the tin at the time...even by tory standards it's a total dogs breakfast

Anyone who voted tory at the last election basically voted for: more food banks and further unprecedented surge in homelessness.

It's just a bonus for them that they got all this other crap that's come along now.

 

[Yarrgh]

It will be incredibly difficult for both MP’s and the Party to get behind one person. Sunak and co have already stitched up Boris, the only MP with a electoral mandate, Sunak is hated by Boris supporters and Party members. The only person who I believe they can rally around is the one I proposed after Boris…Penny Mordaunt………

Knock it on the head! She'd have a restraining order on you if you were in the same postcode!

so they've taxed the massive profits of energy companies?

Think your stream is lagging a bit mate

I expect whether Johnson stands or not will come down to whether they've managed to re-stock the wine cellar at Chequers yet after his last stint.

With the taxpayer footing the bill, of course.

Aye, you’re correct and it was the only other that the shadow chancellor could come up with yesterday. One offs which do sod all for the long term.
