The backbenchers would love to pick Sunak. But picking the man who lost to a brain damaged hedgehog would look crap, especially to their members who resoundingly rejected him.
had they? Certainly not cutting the 45p rate, or the cut in corporation tax. The only one they were absolutely in favour of was the drop in basic income tax rate.
Yeah but he’d be running against someone known to be fucking useless now. And that 45% is higher than the proportion of members who want her to stay on. So at least 7% really fucking hate Sunak, even more than they love power.
we call that a 'farage victory'
Sunak comes with a lot of baggage and is he really that good a politician? I'm not so sure. Mordaunt looks the smart choice to me. She's the one I'd least like them to choose.
Nah, they've a bit longer. Last election was Dec 2019 and for some reason I can't remember, they have a wee bit longer than that, maybe Jan 2025
Wonder if they'll all get pissed and either
Cos you have to call it, not hold it, within five years
The present version of Labour is not where I would look for anything diverging from whatever the commonly accepted dull mainstream economic wisdom of the moment is.
Yeah, I agree on the outcome of the election, it's just she'd beat him at the despatch box/election debates. But as you say, material conditions - people fucking freezing and starving - should make the next election unwinnable for the vermin.
Cheers.
Its because its 5 years from day that parliments first meets after the election not 5 years since last election.
Correction parliament auto disolves on that day but its another 25 days on top of that for election date.
The problem with that scenario is 'markets', markets don't like uncertainty etc. The markets want it to be over and they want the likes of Cunt and/or sunak and/or mordor. Unfortunately markets also want a lot of stuff that brings down further horrors on working class people.
Fuck me, 45% of them would still vote for Truss? That’s incredible.
Do you know what the sample size was?
I mean, it feels like EiE is sort of functioning as the political arm of the RMT and CWU at the moment, and you may not have any EiE stuff happening anywhere near you, but I'm sure you will have a local post office with a picket line this week. That feels like a very useful thing to be doing at the moment.
Tbf, I think the fact that after a couple of months they still don't seem to be doing much other than holding launch meetings is a valid criticism, at this rate there's going to be an entire Prime Minister whose term in office started and finished while EiE were still getting launched.
It sure as hell ain't Truss's.Triple lock: Liz Truss won't commit to raising pensions with inflation
The prime minister's spokesman says she is "not making any commitments" on government spending.www.bbc.co.uk
I guess this is Hunt's doing.
Strange cult. They're not like normal people.
They don’t even have the survival of the party as part of their drive. It literally comes down to the determination to not have the brown one, doesn’t it? That’s overrides everything.
For a significant minority, I'm sure that's the case yes. Although if a black person is also swivel-eyed, like Badenoch, that must cause cognitive dissonance.
