Out of curiosity I looked at how much it cost 2 days ago (obvs present cost). Winchester is 45k per year. And Rishi has 2 siblings. How could any regular GP pay equivalent of 45k pa in todays money for 1 kid? That's staggeringly expensive.

One thing you can be absolutely 💯 certain of. If the roles were reversed and say Starmer is ousted with pitiful ratings 2 years out from a GE, with a new labour leader assuming PM, there's simply no way they would hold the "GE in the national interest" they call for today. They're both...

Interesting take in the independent. Not sure I agree with it as he'll face constant sniping from the right of his party and members who don't want him, but interesting none the less. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/rishi-sunak-next-prime-minister-labour-b2209138.html

Cooper was never really that credible imho and Rayner is just a gobby northern bird. The female John Prescott. The do need to move beyond white men though.

And second most popular with electorate and tory party membership...... thus why they won't be asked to vote and give the wrong answer!

Won't be long until the new captain hits the Iceberg

Different clown. Same circus 🎪

This is the Tories Gordon Brown moment. They've binned off a popular person who many in the party wanted and still had some wider support, and parachuted in a new leader who nobody except some MPs want. It was the beginning of the end in new Labour, short lived and resulted in over a decade in...

No, and I know more people who voted tory in 2019 that did so primarily to stop Corbyn than did so based on Tory manifesto. Johnsons majority was less about his popular appeal, than him being "not Corbyn" plus clever sloganeering with "get brexit done" that appealed to simpletons in the red...

And the last time they went for a coronation with Theresa May, without consulting members caused massive member backlash. So it will be now. The party is fractured & ungovernable

He's an entitled elitist billionaire toff. It's manna from heaven in the red wall.

Similar and it grates me tbh, as my local mp is a Tory, she's been great as a constituency mp, never been in government, is now in mourdant camp (which for me is the least worse of the options). I will feel bad not voting for her, but I just couldn't vote for a Tory national govt after all the...

You'd guess guardian etc are already lining up weeks worth of damning stories. The pool, knifing Boris, illegitimate, party gate fine, wife non dom tax avoider, billionaire out of touch, father in laws influence, sunaks links to globalist cabals etc. It's going to be a field day, the tory MPs...

I appreciate it should, but it doesn't work that way. You know it. We all do. Idealism doesn't win votes. It's perceived connection from voter perpective as well as policy. You think Johnson is a good politician? Trump, Blair, Farage? It's a lot about charisma and story telling. Connecting...

And as many of us wonder how we can pay our mortgages. Sunak has just built a new 400k swimming pool extension in his mansion. I guess the extra electricity for the heating & the water pump isn't a problem.

I think starmers background is pretty compelling, but he has no charisma, the personality of a potatoe and he's not a strong leader. It's all scripted. He will win the next GE and there will be millions who vote for him for the same reasons they voted for Johnson last time or Biden in US...

He'll cash in now with lucrative speaker engagements, you won't see him within 20 miles of his constituency office and then he'll bottle it and stand down at the next election with some bullshit excuse rather than the face the ignominy of getting booted out.

You better not watch the new series of 'Have I got News for you' then!

Translation I couldn't get 100 nominations but my congenital lying, huge insecurity & narcissism won't let me admit it. So one last big bullshit on my way out.

Sunak is a dream for Labour. Out of touch rich boy that hasn't a clue how real people live. They'll be desperately hoping Mordaunt doesn't get the numbers. Sunak is the political 'barn door billy'
