  • “I can genuinely say I don’t think I’ve ever seen a start of a campaign go so badly.”
    The Conservative Party’s "lack of forethought” means it “has not been a brilliant start” to Rishi Sunak’s election campaign, says The Sunday Times’s Caroline Wheeler.

    “Lots of people are going to lose their jobs”
    No problem because this magnificent Tory government made sure, throughout its 14 years reign, that the benefit system will help them and they won’t face any hardship until they find a new job.
    The tories claim to be a compassionate party so I’m absolutely sure they’ll have all the support they need.
    Going to food banks, losing homes, not being able to put the heating on, all of that is for the lazy scroungers!

    The vast majority of people who will vote made their mind up not to vote for Sunak a long time ago. Any suggestion that Reform will gain any seats or even a significant number of votes is for the birds. Tice is about as appealing as something you might stand in on the street and his girlfriend is an airhead.

    Reversing some of the anti trade union and anti working peoples rights in general, seems to me to be a good thing. The thought here though seems to be that Labour needed to "get the bad news out of the way" for fear of upsetting the oligarchy. The Conservatives described as thinking that this might be a stick to beat Labour with just confirms once again that their only concern is for these oligarchs and giant multi national corporate interests etc.

So now, EVERY faux pas just helps to make sure that Labour will become the next government, and have to try to sort out all the problems, which the Tories CANNOT solve....

So because an absurd number of people think that it might someday apply to them, we can’t actually have it (or have it in a way that is realistic and makes sense), and the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer.

    I'm not a regular Cons voter but deplore the nastiness being heaped on Rishi Sunak by his own party. What a disloyal bunch. Rishi saved this country from the ruinous Liz Truss who, with her friend and fellow privileged delusionist, Kwarteng, wrecked the economy. My mortgage went up from a regular £119 pcm to £480 at the peak. On an OAP income, this has been dire. And I'm one of MILLIONS who have struggled. I used no electric heating in the winter (blankets, hot water bottles & some wood fires only)...rare electric cooker cooking.....For heaven's sake do zip it up, Tories. You've had your time, mucked up a great deal. Let's hope someone else gets a chance. to see if they can re-balance our country, to something fairer. There are millions who've made millions, somehow, by fair means or foul, who knows, INCLUDING the executive of the privatised companies ..and the rest of Britain.
