Fantastic speech from Rishi! It was Aspirational for his grandparents to come to the UK for a better life..but migrants fleeing war, poverty and persecution not so good today ?...Absolutely shameful that Starner changes his mind about anything but, it's brave, decision making when Sunak cancels HS2 ? ...a bit naff trumpeting our national multicultural status while his Home Secretary deplores it ? ...so, so much to look forward to as Rishi puts right the last 13 years of his government...a lot to deliver in the months he has left in office.

Yeah - I am sure the Mail and Express are rabid with excitement.

Their channel isn't having a good day.

Lawrence Fox finally sacked and he was arrested at his home in Stockwell this morning for an unrelated reason.

Not sure if Sunak, as the leader and current Prime Minister, of a party which has been in charge for 13 years and overseen scandal after scandal, financial calamities, an oven-ready Brexit deal (whilst forgetting to turn the oven on) and has forced out two (or is it three?) previous Tory Prime Ministers through infighting and backstabbing, is particularly wise in emphatically saying "it's time for a change".

I do agree though. It is indeed time for a change mate.

Oh, they'd be blaming a Labour government if it had been in power for the last few years; but when it's a Tory government...silence!

I still encounter people who are silent about the £ billions spaffed since Covid, but who bang on about Gordon Brown selling our gold reserves.

The same people, I expect, who tell us to 'move on from' the Johnson/Truss premierships, but who will then remind us about the 2008 crash, or 1978-79 'winter of discontent', when Labour was in power.

I've never worked out whether a lot of Tory voters are total hypocrites or just completely thick?

Well it’s the age old question trotted out time after time: “would you trust Labour with the economy?”
personally I think Rachel Reeves would run rings around Jeremy Hunt. She is a competent economist……. Not saying Jeremy Hunt isn’t.

She's a fully trained economist who has worked in the City and for the Bank of England.

Hunt is a businessman who founded (and sold for millions) Hot Courses.

As was Calvin Robinson (pretend vicar) I believe the arrest of Fox is related to his alleged threats to cut down ULEZ cameras with an angle grinder.

Some of the 20 mph signs round our way have been vandalised this week, this IMO is down to the Tories stoking culture wars.

Laurence Fox shot himself well and truly in the foot here.

Go get them Chris!!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

They’re certainly rabid anyway

Err no.

Sunak has been chastened a couple of times for making announcements to the press instead of Parliament.
Now he is making decisions before Parliament has agreed or the committees.

We are in a virtual dictatorship where Parliament is supposed to be sovereign (remember the sovereignty, the leavers desperately wanted) but the PM thinks he can do what he likes.

So environmentalists temporarily blocking roads are deemed to be anti-social criminals who deserve to be locked-up. but motoring Gammons who vandalise speed-limit signs and ULEZ cameras are freedom-fighting heroes according to the self-proclaimed Party of law-and-order.

Hypocritical scum

This is utterly outrageous, tying the hands of future government when they (as they inevitably will) revise the scheme. Hopefully someone uses this as an excuse to route HS2 right through Rishi Sunak's front room.
