It seems to have fallen to me to introduce yet another Tory figure of fun/derision to this section. Rishi Sunak should have trounced Truss in the first contest, but the far-right Tory membership got their say and that was the end of that.

However Liz's decimation of all common sense and mutilation of the nation's pension funds saw Jeremy Hunt riding to the rescue once again (?) and he introduced Rishi's tax policies to steady the bolting horse, although far too late to return it to the stable.

Rishi was coronated (is that really a word?) as the new PM and started off well, revealing un-Tory-like statesmanship, integrity and honesty. However that didn't last very long, as he appointed Suella Braverman as Home Secretary, SB didn't think she should have been Home Sec, resigning after less time in office than her previous boss. No matter, in the spirit of integrity and honesty, Rishi dived back into the cesspit to rescue SB from the depths. Her wet dream is to see British planes flying off to Rwanda with thousands of refugees on board. 

There's not really very much else to say other than, expect more of the same version of "integrity and honesty" from this Rishi government. More of the same ................................................ (I'll let you fill in the blanks as each day brings the same old story).

Bring on Scotindy asap please!!! Time to move to self-determination up here- that Titanic lifeboat is there to be used and our undecided voters must "get a grip" and realise the definite route we need to take to get away from these horrible people and the dystopian governance that respects nobody.

That auld dear in the hospital visit told him straight. Do more to pay the nurses better.

"were trying" lied sunak.

"try harder" was her response.


Sunak isn't the car-crash that was truss but he is absolutely a puppet for the same hedge funds and city institutions that were pushing Kamikwazi's buttons. When he tells us about hard decisions coming he is intensely relaxed about the consequences of that for joe public. Less so for anything that might affect his multi-millionaire pals.

Down south they still see the tories as the party of economic responsibility and security (LOL), the recent poll figures show that they STILL trust the tories more with the economy ffs. That mixed in with FPTP, some flag shagging, migrant hate and some culture war stuff will likely mean they will be close to parity with labour by the time the next election trundles along. And at the end of the day the gammons are always going to vote for the full fat tory version rather than Starmers diluted one.

It's like a banana republic, without the sunshine and the bananas. Just the bendy ones we can now have because of brexit.

[hibeejim21]

Of course now we are out of the dublin agreement via brexit we are dealing with 20 x more migrants than before, and a tory government that use them as a political football whenever they need a crisis to divert from their daily xxxx ups.

So we can now go back to the main problem - that the UK have given the whole surplus to the rich and they are just sitting on it and not growing the economy. Kamikwazi's idea of giving the rich even more money didn't work - and this was not surplus wealth remember, this was punters essential provisions.

So i am waiting for the penny to drop for the Brexiters that they are keeping in power the one party that is incapable of taking the surplus away from the rich and putting it in the hands of the people who need to spend it to grow the fricking economy. I guess i'll be waiting a long time.

Yes, quite. Sewagella has declared the system broken and none of it is the fault of the Government of the last 12 years, it's all Labour's fault for not er, I'm not sure, hmm not being Conservative?

Meanwhile - with regards to all those now supposedly all Albanians rocking up on our shores whilst the Home Secretary quite happily parks folks in big tents instead of warm accommodation, Dover MP Natalie Elphicke says about the "immigration crisis" that is a complete and utter clusterfuckup of 12 years of Tory desperation to reduce immigration numbers .... only she doesn't quite realise what she said - much like Braverman.

She said ....

"We must all do what we can to alleviate human suffering."

But surely we must also be honest about what is actually happening – which is that the vast increase in illegal Channel crossings is being driven by Albanians with no right to asylum on our shores whatsoever."

Elphicke cited a Home Affairs Committee and said that "one to two per cent of Albania's entire male population under 40 had arrived in Britain across the Channel this year".

"They are not fleeing wars in the Middle East," she said. "Albania is a Nato member. A country seeking to join the EU."

"Not that you'd know it from the handwringing rights industry, the charity sector and the skewed reporting of the issue from the Left-wing media and the BBC."

So it's the BBC's fault then, feck all to do with an incompetent Government of 12 years that apparently has now decided the south coast is being invaded - well maybe one dozy woman apparently has that was formerly the finest example that British Law could find. Can someone pass her a P45 asap please?

Didn't we have a previous political revelation a few years ago re a Rumanian invasion in a specific period less than a year? And it was eventually disproved as a piece of scaremongering fiction.

[theo_luddite]

Romanians, Turks, you name 'em they were supposedly coming in droves, except, they never did and when asked by the UK press they said they had no intention either, they were quite happy where they were. Can't be sure but likely sharticles written by the fat bloke that is now our ex-Prime Minister.

[theo_luddite]

Speaking ex-PM's and promises made at COP 26, it seems our lot were all mouth and trousers again. Money promised last year still not paid even though it was due by September. Who was the Chancellor that would have signed off on this at the time and authorised the payments? Oh, yes, the bloke now in the flat next door. The revolving door at No. 11 since then won't have got any payments to anyone for anything would it? Except for resigned/dumped ex-ministers pay-offs.

The latest revelation re Bojo attending COP27 and Sunak apparently now "finding time" (another U-turn) to do likewise really "speaks volumes" re the huge lack of acknowledgement and serious responsibility to collectively address the global warming issues and do something about it.

[ritchiebaby]

It'll just be another "talking shop" anyway. There'll be enough hot air in Egypt without politicians adding to it.

What we really need is ALL governments to do something positive to start rescuing the planet. Not much hope of that.
