Another one who thinks he knows exactly what the Labour bogeyman will do instead of concentrating on the absolute clusterfuck of Tory rule. Inflation, higher mortgage rates, the possibility of £4000 energy bills and rolling power cuts, no Northern Irish power sharing or government, tens of...

There are hardly any sensible, centrist Tories left. This has been a total coup by the ERG and we might as well be being governed by UKIP right now. Rishi himself is an arch Leaver who believes in free ports and more. However, even that horrendous wing is riven with splits, based mostly on...

:lolol: I've been whooshed. In my defence I don't think you could write a parody or satire of this government that someone wouldn't take seriously, and this government could absolutely put something serious out that everyone of sound mind would regard as parody. In the 80s Spitting Image...

I think Truss appointed her for the long run as a soul mate and I think Rishi has appointed her in the short run because he knows she'll screw up and he can turn up his palms and say "I tried". That's the difference I was trying to describe. Perhaps I should have set the scene regarding the...

Braverman is one of the worst human beings on the planet. Luckily she'll only last a few months before doing something monumentally stupid. It's good politics from Rishi, appointing someone from the looney wing who he has a few things in common with but who he can bin off as soon as she gives...

That's not the opinion of Guy Hands, a mega wealthy hedge fund owner and staunch Tory, who claimed that the way we've handled Brexit is the number one issue for the country and will lead to us being the "sick man" of Europe and going cap in hand to the IMF for the first time since the 70s. I'll...

She's got to put the vodka in her coffee first.

I know what you mean. A Labour government with a small but working majority and an effective opposition is step two for getting back on track. Step one is renegotiating Brexit. We all know the ERG won't do that though. (Former?) Tory backer and leading investor Guy Hands told Today this...

If we've learned anything from the past week, it's that wet lettuces who do very little are still more effective than Tory Prime Ministers :whistle: :lolol:

Not to mention that she's a raging Tory.

Well, considering that "Steve Foster" has at least three accounts (he once accidentally started the predictions thread with a sock puppet) it's not beyond the realms of possibility that JCFG was another of his. And there's certainly IP data linking you to both accounts. But we're getting into...

You're not the genius you think you are. Your entire post here is personal. It's certainly not a coherent argument. Knock it off.

That's because they're hand picking them. Going to constituencies that voted Tory in 2019 and finding some of the staunchest BoJo fans they can. If they went to Brighton and asked a bunch of randoms I can't think they'd have more than a couple of people out of every 100 who'd even consider it.

I think it's because it's tradition that Ruel Fox is added by someone else, later.

Oh absolutely. Your Kwartengs and Trusses are exactly why I don't believe in a great big lodge somewhere deciding these things. There is simply no way you could co-ordinate the chaos of the last month. Nevertheless, the Mail backed Truss and will now, presumably, back a return for Boris because...

I do wonder (and, yes, this is a late Friday night wonder) if Johnson had got his mates in the press to back Truss once he'd resigned, knowing full well she wasn't up to it and he'd get an opportunity to come back. If so, he'd certainly got the measure of her (but then two minutes watching her...

In a few months he can use that exact sentence again after Boris takes over again, gets convicted of misleading the house, has a bunch of ministerial resignations and triggers yet another leadership election, which will be conducted between Mordaunt, Truss (actually, she may have been useless...

Absolutely spot on. The same anti-centrists also regularly refer to Blair as a War Criminal which is factually incorrect. Yet you never see them refer to actual convicted war criminals from that era such as Tariq Aziz as such. It's bizarre, libellous and no different to Palace fans stating Dunk...
