Rishi Sunak's Time is Up

Or a bright orange jumpsuit?

I suppose that's always a possibility, but I was thinking more along the lines of attempting a khaki election.

I regret to inform you that the Tory social media team is doing it again.

I regret to inform you that the Tory social media team is doing it again.

It is a constant humiliation for our proud nation to see such utter shits in charge. The people who claim to love our country and vote tory must really hate it

 

[philosophical]

We should be proud of our country?

Define who ‘we’ are supposed to be.
Should, who says and why? What if you’re not?
Proud? What? Of the space available to street sleepers to indulge their lifestyle choices?
Our? Those who depend on food banks, can’t get health care, get oppressed by injustice, that kind of ‘our’?
Country? Does that include Northern Ireland where leave voters and Tories have fucked the social contract up?

I am the least ‘patriotic’ person I know. If I were conscripted and given a gun probably the first thing I would do with it would be to shoot the highest ranking person of authority I could find.

Did no one think to point out the inconsistency of first of all venerating the UK for giving Mummy and Daddy Sunak a home, and then celebrating trying pull up the drawbridge to prevent others arriving?

 

[brogdale]

More of those Inbetweeners (work experience episode) vibes for rat-boy.

He is very awkward amongst real people, isn't he?

 

[Elpenor]

Put the tall bloke next to him too to emphasise how short he is

This is how he reacts to the general public

And afterwards he went more Peter Mannion:

"This is the trouble with the public, they're fucking horrible."

 

[Silas Loom]

Probably nothing, but another VOC would be quite amusing.

E2A: the “senior party figure” turns out to be, erm, Simon Clarke.

And here are his musings, depaywalled. https://archive.ph/dcwCo

He just lost a Spad who deals with polling, someone called Will Dry.

According to the S*n

Is he related to Bill Stickers?

If only he had changed careers and gone to host Topless Darts. The headlines could read:

According to the S*n

Dry left in November, and helped commission the recent poll, which resulted in Simon Clarke calling on a change of leadership.

Rishi Sunak’s former special adviser is working with a group of rebels trying to oust the prime minister and helped commission polling which predicted a landslide Labour victory, according to reports.

Will Dry, who worked as an adviser at Downing Street, quit in November last year after becoming “dispirited” by the direction being taken by Sunak, the Times reported.

Since leaving No 10, he has been working with a group of former government advisers and MPs who believe the Tories “are heading for the most almighty of defeats” in the forthcoming general election under Sunak.

An interesting approach to the presence of the mother of a murdered child in the House of Commons ...

[philosophical]

Somebody desperately wrote something for Sunak to say at the last question, because it was obvious at the beginning that he had reverted to scummy type at the start of PMQ’s.
We also had him saying Starmer is a defender of terrorists, and a friend of the people smugglers.
Now I know Starmer has plenty of faults, but compared to the Tories he is the most straight up party leader in politics.

kemi Badenoch has enter the row and blaming labour for Sunaks gaff

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Shocked and appalled that I have to agree with Starmer on something.

 

[8ball]

This is how he reacts to the general public

It’s going to be pretty hard to make that one play well for them.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Ordinary people just really arent on his radar are they? They dont exist for him outside of statistics. The clip above, taking a bet with peirs morgan on the fate of desperate refugees and now this. He had his cheap transphobic jibe ready and the presence of the mother whose daughter had been murdered in transphobic attack was not remotely in his awareness. Even though Starmer had welcomed her to chamber only minutes beforehand. utter cunt.

 

[Storm Fox]

Possibly one reason Starmer said that was to give Sunak a reminder not to say anything, but Sunak is either so shit at picking clues, has no empathy or is too stupid to change the course* that he still said it.

*Or all three
