The New Tories - Ruthlessly Incompetent. Post Examples of Tory Stupidity Here

[Elpenor]

Tory MPs are welcome to join Labour with a fanfare, meanwhile remember which MPs have been suspended / expelled and will remain so

No I think that's fair they did value public services, so that they could sell them off to their mates

At the next General election, I wonder who will be the Labour candidate for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich?

This "businessman", apparently.

Usual Tory fantasy policies here for this “100 day policy offensive” mooted by some rebels

Tory rebels plan 100-day ‘policy blitz’ if local elections are disaster for party

Worried MPs have concocted five-point plan of quick measures aimed at showing that the party cares about public’s priorities

• An attempt to end the junior doctors pay dispute with a 10-12% offer.
• Further cuts to legal migration numbers, with a curb on the number of foreign students staying in the UK.
• Vow to increase defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2027.
• Introduce measures to jail prolific offenders and build rapid detention cells to increase prison capacity.
• Cut the benefits bill, with a target to reduce payments for depression and anxiety

But it does give you a flavour of what these cruel scum bags want to do.

More money for weapons, and disgustingly that is to be paid for by attacking support for unwell people.

The foreign students thing is especially grim given that’s how most unis make their money now

 

[prunus]

The let’s shit on those already suffering thing is I think perhaps especially grim.

 

[Cloo]

'Let's make anxious and depressed people feel better by giving them even less money than the amount they are struggling to survive on now'

Monkey tennis.

You'd have thought that by now so many people must know someone suffering seriously from depression or anxiety that it's not really going to be a popular move.

Meanwhile unellected parasite Cameron hire £42m luxury plane to fly around central Asia for 5 days:

David Cameron accused of acting 'like a Kardashian' as he hires £42m VIP plane

The Foreign Secretary chartered an Embraer Lineage 1000 - described as 'one of the best luxury private jets money can buy' - for a diplomatic jaunt around Central Asia

You'd have thought that by now so many people must know someone suffering seriously from depression or anxiety that it's not really going to be a popular move.

And you'd hope that a good number of those who don't might just see this for what it is; uncaring, vindictive, mean, nasty, ideological penny-pinching that would end up causing untold misery and, even by their own psychopathic metrics, cost the state more in the long run. Cunts.

And it's basically saying to millions of people 'Your condition is imaginary and it'll be sorted out by an honest day's work'

Could they just cut payments prior to the election? It isn't, iirc, a manifesto commitment, and wouldn't it require parliamentary time?

Benefits went up this month. By a relatively considerable amount as well.

The answer of course is that these people are monsters to whcih there are no depths they won't sink in order to remain grasping at power.

Imagine looking at your parliament record so far when the polls all say you're going to be buried and going 'Hmmm, maybe we've not been cunty enough'

" Give your head a shake" I was told by a work colleague in the middle of a panic attack. She had Tory written all over her.

Did you nut her?

If I hadn't been feeling like I was going to faint through lack of oxygen I would have kicked her into next week..
Karma got her, heard years later she packed in work through severe anxiety.

In a horrible kind of way, it's the people most in denial about mental health stuff who, when it does hit, get clobbered the hardest. It's almost karmic.

There's a lot of karma due a fairly large cohort of politicians right now.

It is, of course, far more calculating and targeted than that. They're clearly looking at their numbered days in office and working out what wrecking they can achieve that is unlikely to be substantially unpicked by a Reeves-driven LP administration.

I think it’s completely the other way round. They are desperately casting around for things that Labour cannot stomach which can then be used as wedge issues.

None of them have any interest in policy for its own sake any more.

I admire your optimism but, based on the previous musings of Reeves etc. I don't think it well placed.

 

[brogdale]

No, really I think that's dead wrong. All of them have long bought into the neoliberal, consolidator state and the attendant policy programmes that effect the transfer of wealth from taxes on labour to unearned income.

That and presumably a hope of picking enough votes back off Reform in a few constituencies to hold on.

I think reform should just announce that they'll double pensions from all of the dosh saved from the scroungers/forriners.

Grauniad blog:

Lucy Frazer, the culture secretary, seems to have voted with Labour by mistake in a division on the digital markets, competition and consumers bill. Labour’s Chris Bryant says she was backing a Labour move to crack down on ticket touts. She was the only Tory voting with Labour on this. The Conservatives voted against.

What has Opus Dei’s Ruth Kelly got to do with education policy under Starmer? She’s hardly representative of any strand of Labour thinking.
