BoJo episode 2 (this time it's personal)

The deputy prime minister should be forced to take the job on in the meantime no matter who they are.
I know the last one, Dominic Raab? bottled it and didnt want the role but it shouldnt have been his choice, they are quite happy to take the money and the job title.
And MPs who resign, they shouldnt be allowed to waltz back into another role when they feel like it.

This the problem, though. As it stands, they are playing into the hands of Starmer and his lefty mates. Are the public going to forgive Boris? I can't. Sunak or Mordaunt are much more credible.
If a GE happens anytime soon; Labour WILL win by a landslide. Protest votes by the millions! LDs will do quite well too.

For the record; Boris was my MP once; I voted for him (twice). I also voted conservative in 2019. Don't want the fecker back, though.
The conservatives are so far right now, even Hitler would blush, Would a labour government be such a bad thing? As the Tesco Chairman said, they’re the only ones with an actual workable plan. I don’t blindly support any party, I pick the party of the time that I believe best reflects what I feel is right. I haven’t felt that the conservatives have had our best interests since Cameron left, he knew what a s**t show it was going to become so got as far away from it as quickly as he could and each leader since has doubled down. I actually trust Starmer to do what’s best given the hand he’s been dealt.

BoJo will be the next prime minister, if he can get the 100 votes to enter, it will be him vs Sunak and then the party members will vote BoJo, I’m sure this is how it was planned when he resigned.
Labour has a plan do they? I watched a labour minister yesterday being interviewed by Tom Harwood on GBnews and he said the same thing. He was asked to name one plan for the economy and he couldn't. He waffled and when asked how they would balance the books he said a windfall tax on the £170 Billion profits of the energy companies even though only £30billion of that is made in the UK and that has already been subject of a windfall tax. He then said they would borrow to invest in the UK. Funny how he thought borrowing and sticking the word invest afterwards doesnt count as borrowing.

Rishi Sunak wants to be PM and will F**k anyone or anything that gets in his way, even the country and that is from a life long Tory.

He is almost as dangerous as Starmer
You really like being on funny theories, hey? As if Sunak was the one coming up with the stupid mini-budget Kwarteng AND Truss created? :rofl:

Anyway, not been a massive supporter of Labour and don;t really think their is a genius anywhere in the political worlds but I think tories had time to prove what they can do (or mess up), time for some change :roll:

Conservatives far right? Think you got that wrong, they have turned so far left with taxing business to death and general tax raising all the time that would put a labour government to shame.

Liz T was more right and she had the right ideas about tax, but just not rightly executed. As a business, the conservatives have levied the highest tax raid in history on us.

Or put another way:
Breaking his own rules that HE put in place, as he was the PM so the buck stops there, while thousands of people died frightened and alone because their relatives were not allowed anywhere near them due to the rules that HE put in place.

Then not giving a sh*t and lying to everybody.

Unforgiveable; but hey never mind. Come back all is forgiven! :x

I will guarantee that there are many Labour employees working night and day to come up with a manifesto at the minute.

They won't need one as it stands; protest votes will get them elected.

Yes they were both unfit to lead for completely different reasons.

I thought Boris did pretty well, until he got caught out anyway!

But giving him the job back would be like admitting he should never have gone which would just be wrong.

Never thought Liz was up to it, and she soon proved that! Don't like the idea of Penny Mordaunt either, but then we have no say in it anyway. :(

    You follow the MSM too much. Boris and Sunak were attending the cabinet office for a pre planned meeting. Unknown to them his wife and staff who were also attending the meeting presented him with a birthday cake.

    I seem to recall Starmer using the defence of his curry and beer being a work event. Funny how his case was a break between work meetings and Boris not

    Agreed on the second part, mate. I'm not going to apologise for caring about this; it's important. It's gone beyond politics IMHO, it's about our (and our kids') futures at the minute. The damage being done hourly could last decades.

    As to doubling my post count; even Boris would struggle! :D
