Exactly. Low taxation supposedly fostering investment and entrepreneurship. Where is the investment? It's all squirreled away offshore, not invested here.

Ten years pre-pandemic of slashing the public sector to 'free up 'the private sector to drive us forward and grow the economy. Except we've stagnated or gone backwards.

Privatising everything to 'improve efficiency'. Except our essential services are collapsing while private companies take profits and cut front line service standards.

The whole Tory Party is living in Dreamland, far removed from the experiences and needs of ordinary people. The levelling up agenda is dead in the water. No way can it be funded while those five jokers are in a Dutch auction to cut taxes, to please the small number of old, southern, affluent members that will eventually vote one of them into power.

 

The biggest give away in British taxpayers history and yet some seem to justify it. Theres a reason why the wealth of the top 10% has gone through the roof during Covid.

 

Purely to keep Labour and their loony agenda out. Lesser of 2 evils for me.

Starmer, Rayner, Abbott, Lammy etc are a terrifying thought.

 

that's for sure, some of the worst politicians on all sides in living memory I think.

 

Starmer cant even identify what a woman is.

The left are eating itself over it. Feminism and trans rights have now hit each other head on. The rest of us laughing.

 

Thats what they have done for years now which is why they have only seen office for around 13 years of the last 40 odd!!!

Finger pointers, not problem solvers. They are unelectable.

 

It is there job! It is there job to appeal to the electorate by offering alternative solutions!!! How on earth do you become elected if you do not have the answer?

What the hell do you think a manifesto is for?

The Tories are a disgrace but Labour are a shite show.

 

Sunak and Truss into the final two is grimly uninspiring.

As unreliable as he was I can't help feeling that the Conservatives are going to end up regretting knifing Johnson.

The ball is very much in Labour's court currently. Can they come up with anything positive that is more than simply anti-Tory rhetoric?

 

If only there was a way of being in a union (maybe of countries near us like France, Germany and Netherlands) in which there was an agreement that you can sent people back to the country they were last in......

 

This will be my only political comment.
Lis Truss is my MP and more than happy to share our experience of her

She loves local photo opportunities with Vicars and the Women’s Institute

Her replies to letters are always the “party line”, “I fully support the PM” even after he had been fined and found to have lied.

There was a local cause re development of woodland and farmland whereby she once again turned up with the local press, and pretended to march in support of town and village protestors against the development. …She actually wore wellies and then promptly took them off after the photos had been taken. When we looked into her previous voting record we were amazed to find she voted on each and every occasion for the unsustainable development of green land.

So to be clear, we will get a self promoting version of Boris Johnson in a skirt.

If her Premiership is anything like her constituency work, she won’t last long.

 

Its hilarious seeing Labour supporters trying to shift on from this like it never happened. All the time throwing slurs about the racist and islamaphobic Tories.

Thankfully the general public see through it.

 

I think its you who needs to wise up. I know exactly how politics works. Labour are a shit show locally....

Instead of Starmer screaming at the Tories for doung this and that, and instead of the loony left screeching on Twitter, and instead of the left wing media screeching - maybe a different tact is needed. Offer solutions, tell us what should be done. Might win an election.

The left have bern on the losing side pretty much since 2010.....referendums, general elections, european elections..

 

Definitely both

 

God help us. It’s like a plague of zombies.

 

Boris will be back. The party membership will demand it, They like neither Truss or Sunak and after blunders by both they still believe Boris is the leader who can win the next election. We have far seen the end of Boris

 

Well this is the third female PM the Tories has put up.

Meanwhile the "diverse" Labour Party have a white male as leader. Like they have through their whole existence when elected within the party. The only time this hasn't been the case is during a caretaker role between electing a leader.

 

Nothing will change, absolutely nothing. She’ll say a few words that keep the Tory base and hard of thinking happy. Then back to the same old shite.

 

She won’t win an election. Not because she’s really shit (she is). Or because Starmer is all of a sudden going to offer us a much better alternative (he won’t). It’s because I can’t imagine a sitting government getting another term when they’re worse off from when they voted last. Happened to the last Labour government, and it’ll happen to this lot. The Tories are done.
