Possibly, although she had only been doing the job for just over a month. Interesting that the more obvious, and less immediately politically problematic candidate to undertake the Tory party's war on the helpless and desperate was ignored by both Sunak and Truss before him. Just what could be...

You're possibly right about that. If that's reflective of his approach, he's no more likely to unify them than Truss was.

Pritchard supported Johnson and Berry was Truss's. Seems funny that, in Braverman, Sunak has made a totally inappropriate appointment to one of the big four offices and that the only apparent reason for him to do this was to throw a bone to the extreme right wing of the party, overlooking that...

An utter disgrace. She didn't resign for policy reasons. She resigned because, by her own admission, she had acted improperly and wasn't fit for office. That doesn't matter to her anymore then? And it doesn't matter to Sunak? Not even through his first day and he's already shown that the...

He didn't have a majority of MPs until Johnson dropped out. His supporters went to their second preference and then Sunak realised a majority. Not a very strong one as he ended up with 55%. Second preferential vote? Now where have I heard that before? Nice to see that the Tory MPs allow...

I heard Sunak's remarks about the challenges to the economy. He continued the Tory and media pretence that Brexit is not having the impact that every impartial observer has stated it to be having. How is any government going to tackle the issues if they will not admit that the issues exist...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/25/rishi-sunak-uk-pm-cabinet-reshuffle-begins Part of Mogg's quote given to Sky News in July was that Sunak "Wouldn’t want me in his cabinet anyway.” Reminds me of the old Blackadder line. "She won't marry him. She's met him."

One small child gone for a much needed lie down. "Now, now Jacob stop screaming. I know that it was the other boys and girls that made you behave badly. Yes you are Nanny's special little prince and they should have listened when you shouted at them."

What was the pandemic that hit in May 2010? Arrogance? Incompetence? Dishonesty? Heartlessness?

Charles appoints his second Prime Minister today then. His mother had 15 PMs during her 70 year reign: One every 4 years and nine months. Charles is on his second after 48 days. If he keeps this rate up, he'll have beaten his mum's tally by October 2024.

Apparently he addressed his colleagues and warned about an existential threat faced by the Conservative Party. Good to see his priorities already in order. Don't worry about the existantial threats to the planet, to the United Kingdom, to the economy, or to democracy. Let's make sure the...

I saw a clip of Baker on Sky News last week pretty much saying that whoever took over was going to have to pursue the ridiculous policy of attempting to break international law over Northern Ireland, or expect these mad fantastists to bring down their government. They are willing to trade...

By my calculations there are currently about 120 ministerial/PPS positions in the government. Some people will be doubling up in roles, so its actually less actual people than this. Let's say that, when elected, Johnson appointed his best 115 people for these jobs. 15 of these resigned over...

Win percentage at Brighton: Micky Adams: 1999-2001 - 45.6% 2008-2009 - 24.4% Alan Mullery: 1976-1981 - 43.78% 1986-1987 - 26.92% Conservative poll lead: End of July 2019 after Johnson takes over from Truss: +10% 7/7/2022 When Johnson resigns in disgrace: -12% Never go back to a successful...

The next Prime Minister will be the 7th out of our last 10 Prime Ministers to get the job because of a leadership resignation rather than an election. They'll follow Truss, Johnson, May, Brown, Major & Callaghan. None of them called a general election until they considered it expedient to...

I agree. It plays into his self created image. His name's not even Boris anyway. He is Alexander Johnson.
