In 2020 Boris was still in charge and he would have walked it again, if not for Backstabber Sunak. Unless you voted Tory in 2019 I think it’s difficult for you to imagine the anger generated by that despicable act and the nett result. But anyway, it’s done, Starmer is in charge, Sunak will slink away at some point, Boris will find a way of leading the party again and Starmer will be toast…

Tory fan fiction is the creepiest type.

Genuinely think if Boris takes over leadership again they'll get voted back in. Not because of his brilliance, but because of England's stupidity.

So you naively thought the Tories would win again in 2020. That's kind of my point proven.
Even after all the bi election humiliations under Johnsons, woeful polling and a crushing election defeat, you still can't see the wood for the trees.
You can believe what you like. It doesn't matter that it doesn't match reality. But I am merely pointing out people who called thinga completely incorrectly on 2020/2021 I am not going to listen to re 2029. Not after I spent the last 4 years continually explaining to them why they were wrong.
The fact you think the deeply unpopular Johnson would win, when he has just brutally lost, is complete in utter idiocy. You don't seem to be able to differentiate between what you want to happen, and what actually happens in the real world.
Starmer annihilated Johnson, who bottled it and ran off. He would lose an election to Thatchers old mate Jimmy Saville
They won't. England hates him, and he is a big reason why the Tories suffered their worst defeat in the party history.

Labour Sleaze…
“ A Labour donor at the centre of a cronyism row will not take the Civil Service role he had been awarded and will become a temporary unpaid adviser instead, it has emerged.
Ian Corfield was made a director at the Treasury shortly after the general election, but his appointment became the subject of controversy after he was found to have previously donated £20,000 to Labour.
Political donations made by the ex-banker, whose job was not subject to an open contest, included £5,000 to Rachel Reeves in 2023.
Mr Corfield’s appointment had to be approved by the Civil Service Commission, a body that vets Whitehall appointments, which was not told about the donation.
The Sunday Times reported that the Treasury will now be changing the terms of Mr Corfield’s role, and he will not now be a civil servant but instead an adviser by ministerial appointment.”

Dear god, what dimension are you living in. I get it, you support Labour, yet you try, and fail, to lecture me on understanding Tory voters when I expect you’ve never had a proper actual conversation with any…..

Hahaha, so now having used a mythical black hole, created by recent pay rises, the next con will be delivered this week…
“Sir Keir Starmer, will warn this week that things will get worse before they get better, claiming that there is “rot deep in the heart” of Britain.
In what will be seen as an attempt to lay the groundwork for sweeping tax rises and spending cuts, the Prime Minister will claim to have inherited “not just an economic black hole but a societal black hole”.
Sir Keir will warn “working people” that he must take “unpopular decisions” in a speech on Tuesday.
Sir Keir will say he will be honest “about the choices we face and how tough this will be”.
He will add: “Frankly – things will get worse before we get better.”
What he didn’t mention is that the rot is headed by himself……

And what comes next…do the Police and Army stand down if it gets a bit warm….
“ All employees should have the right to stop working under a national maximum temperature for workplaces, a major union has told Sir Keir Starmer.
Under the proposals, outlined by the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU), employers would have to ensure temperatures did not exceed 27 degrees for strenuous work or 30 degrees for sedentary work.
It also wants a “heatwave furlough scheme” where workers are guaranteed they are paid the same if production has to stop because of excessive temperatures.”

Pete, you come up with total, in utter nonsense. You live in total delusion Johnson's popular. He's not. Polls show he's deeply unpopular. He lost rock solid bi elections. Once he had been in power over 6 months, we got a referendum on him in 2024, and the public rejected him. He went out campaigning and the Tories got trounced.
These are facts. I am talking about objective facts.
You like Johnson, that's cool. Somebody has to. But that's totally different to people liking him, they don't. Popular leaders don't cause parties to have the biggest electoral defeat in British history.
I like Corbyn, but I'm grown up enough to see he's unpopular with the country by polling metrics.
Just to clarify a couple of extra points. I'm not a Labour supporter. So you may want to get your facts straight before making judgements about me.
Secondly, as indicated above, I am just giving you evidence, objectively speaking. The Tories are not winning in 2029, with Johnson or anybody else. The fact you thought they would win in 2024 in 2020 shows how utterly clueless you are. You have zero credibility, zero worth in this field, so I'm going to discard what you have to say. I won't be listening to people's opinions who predicted a win, which was a catastrophic defeat.
Thirdly, frankly I'll lecture you on what I want, when I want. That isn't what I was attempting to do, but if I want to do that, I'll do that thanks.
What I was attempting to do, was inform you of where the British voter is at. A tiny proportion vote for the Tories. An irrelevant section. The key to understandinf Britain is understanding Labour and Lib Dem constituencies who are a huge majority.
As a final aside, I talk to lots of Tory voters. I spoke to one yesterday for lunch, an MCC member who worked in the foreign office. He hates Johnson, worked under him and says hes a bully and people can't stand him.
But anyway, you do you in making inaccurate assertions, and I'll stick to calling politics correctly.
Didnt the OBR say there was a black hole? Money can't just be magicked up. It's not going to take a long time to rectify the mess we are in.

A black hole exists if you actually spend the money, which Labour has just done…
There is nothing new about the £20bn ‘black hole’
Labour’s pro-growth reforms were fun while they lasted. Now here come the tax rises. That’s not quite how Rachel Reeves will convey the findings of the Treasury audit she plans to announce on Monday – but hikes are probably going to be the next step in filling in what the Chancellor will claim...

Everything he said is correct and sadly has to happen to try and fix the last 14 years of inherited mess. He's not going to just print money.
