Cable Forum - The Chronicles of Rishi

Because the government are fools. As you know, they're slashing everything to pay for the ridiculous 2% NI cut.

Whether or not that is true, Anderson certainly says the right things (if not in the wrong way) on the menace facing us. A pity that he had to defect.

What’s ridiculous about the 2% NI cut?

It’s the very essence of Tory ideology, shrink the state, shrink tax revenues, rinse, repeat?

You did check what you were voting for all these years?

I always checked that I was voting for John Redwood.

The country voted Labour in '97 and got a Tory government.

They voted Tory in 2010 but got a Labour government, they voted Tory ever since but keep getting Labour.

No doubt they'll vote Labour this time and the Tories will get in.

💥 Lee Anderson defects from the Conservatives to Reform, a move that has the rare effect of boosting the average IQ of both parties.

You can sum Lee Anderson up by the fact that in his speech he boasted that he doesn't know many long words.

Not a fan of Sunak but the enemies he manages to collection (Anderson, Truss) speak to some positives for him.

Interesting development

Quote:

Boris Johnson is expected to campaign for the Conservatives in red wall seats before the general election after a thawing in relations with Rishi Sunak.

The former prime minister is likely be deployed in the north of England and the Midlands as the Tories seek to win back the voters who helped Johnson to an 80-seat majority in 2019.

Johnson accused Sunak of betrayal after he was forced out of Downing Street in 2022 and the two men fell out further last year over Johnson’s resignation honours list.

However, relations have improved significantly since then after talks between Johnson’s team and No 10. Last month Sunak and Johnson issued a joint statement on the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Johnson allies and senior government sources confirmed that the former prime minister was expected to play a significant role in the general election campaign.

They said he was likely to visit marginal constituencies, make speeches and appear on leaflets. “If there is a way he can help that is right for him and for the party he will,” a source familiar with Johnson’s thinking said.

Sums up Johnson in one phrase.

"right for him"…

Send the man who lied to Red Wall voters about how getting Brexit done would benefit their towns then partied through lockdown whilst their Gran was dying alone in a care home. See zero flaws with this strategy whatsoever.

Rishi has his work cut out at the moment. He now has to deal with a racist top Tory donor's remarks about Dianne Abbot, claiming she "should be shot". Not very good optics ..

It’s a result of the Guardian recently investigating (over a number of months) the biggest ever donor (of £10 million over the last year) to the Conservative Party, who had received £400 million of Government contracts since 2016.
