Current Affairs The Conservative Party

Well this one has 4 kids so he might change his mind if and when it bites.

Seems more a case of when, to me.

When it does bite it'll be the fault of the foreigners rather than the Tories.

I've given up trying to convince people now.

If they still don't believe the Tories aren't the curators of all this at this stage then they've got no hope. I just humour them, but it's not an enjoyable subject to joke about.

He may as well have just set fire to it.

He knows he will get it back in spades, through his Company's" new contracts".

I remember from an early age my dad hated Thatcher and the Tories. You tend to follow suit, but then as you get older you work out why. Even now the more they do, the more I hate them. They have not one single empathetic bone in their bodies towards the poor or even middle classes!

Everything they do is about protecting their and their friends interests and money.

They aren't effected by rises in fuel, utility or food prices. They WANT inflation and a rise in interest rates as they make more money! They are swallowing up houses as people fail to pay mortgages. They WILL privatise the NHS because they can afford to pay for private care.

We, the masses are doomed in the future. I really worry for my kids in 20 years time.

We desperately need a proper labour party and leader asap. Corbin was set to lead and probably win. But he went too strong too early with his policies. His re-nationalisation of the utility companies buried himself.. they just couldn't let that happen.

The only one I could see now in the immediate future would be Andy Burnham. But Torylite Starmer wouldn't let that happen..

Its a sad future for the UK.

Always liked Burnham has Charisma and honesty as personal traits.

The witch hunt the Tories and the Tory media led into the Labour party funding over the years was hysterical, especially when everybody knew Labour's money came from Union funding. And yet you get this, what is this individual putting record amounts of funding into a political party for ? The funding that comes for the Tories from abroad from people of organisations that don't even live here can't vote here don't pay taxes here, like the Russians for instance. Why aren't the powers that be investigating that ? Think we all know the answer, the Tory media.

What can you do. They’re a party primarily designed to help out themselves and their mates. Not even hiding it now. If you’re voting for them you’re either a fool or in on it.

Now I’m no expert, but I’ve spent the last 2-3 days on an ADHD fuelled deep dive in to the current state of the economy and the immediate outlook as I’m starting to get very anxious about my business. I’ve not seen anything that suggests things will get better any time soon.

Everything points towards one or two more interest rate rises before the year ends. I was doing the sums on mortgages earlier and to borrow £150k with a 15% deposit on top it’d cost me £850 a month over 40 years. Utterly ridiculous.

Always liked Burnham has Charisma and honesty as personal traits.

In a parallel universe, Burnham won the labour leadership and absolutely wiped the floor with May in that general election. What followed was a common sense approach to negotiating with the EU, a better COVID response without the dirty deals, better funding for services and a fair few bob more in our pockets.

Still think he'll go for leader again one day

I think that will be years off, if ever..
Does anybody really think Starmer will give the ok to Burnham coming back into parliament?

It would be a field day for the media.
For it to happen I think Starmer has to have a plan where he let's it be known within labour, he will step down in say a year, then get Burnham back into parliament, so he can be in a leadership contest.
Surely Starmer will want 2 terns at least.
Burnham has a good thing going for himself, would he give that up, for the pooshow of Westminster?
