I'm going to one of her local bashes in my area on Thursday. I hope to have the chance to challenge her.

as for Sunak - a good performer; skilful with words but no imagination. Doesn't feel what we feel.

Both are leading members of the failed government who would offer ministerial posts to their respective nodding dogs, also members of the failed government.

I am in political despair.

I think a good chunk of the country agrees with you regardless of their political persuasion.

If we end up in the deepest and/or longest recession among comparable countries it’s because Nero fiddled while Rome burns.

Nothing to do with recess.

OB’s certainly a man on a mission. There’s maybe one candidate for agreeing with them if they’re bored and pissed, but that’s it.

Truss borrows from the Johnson play book. Will just say she has been misinterpreted by the media as she wriggles from one position to the next.

The Conservative Party is looking very tired at the moment. They would be better off calling a general election, let the Opposition be tarnished with the recession, regroup, find new talent and then return in five years' time.

Old Boy needs to attend Truss's Berkshire bash on Thursday where Seph will help lift the scales from his eyes.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

I think they have got the message at conservative HQ they know that a few people won't be able to heat their pool this winter, but if Rishi gets the job funds will be levelled up so that pools can be heated and Ferrari's filled up, they just need to work out how to steal the water from north of Watford.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

I don't believe Rishi's comment about diverting funds is meant to be taken as removing from the poor to the rich but ensuring that funds are not just target at urban areas when there is also poverty in many rural communities.

I can understand why Sunak's bragging makes uncomfortable viewing for any Conservative voters with a social conscience but alas it's true.

See these articles, for example:

Quote:
Government funding for 'left behind' towns being spent in wealthier Tory marginals, analysis reveals
More than half of towns set to benefit from £3.6bn fund are held by Tory MPs, despite vast majority of poorest areas being in Labour constituencies
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a9201141.html

Quote:
£3.6bn struggling English towns fund 'not impartial', say MPs

The government's process for choosing towns in England to benefit from a £3.6bn fund was "not impartial" a group of MPs have said.

The scheme was originally launched in 2019 to boost struggling towns.

But the Commons spending watchdog warned that a "lack of transparency" over how money has been awarded could "fuel accusations of political bias".

As part of the selection process, ministers picked towns from a pool of 541 places which had been ranked by officials based on local need and growth potential.

Ministers chose all 40 "high-priority" towns, then selected a further 60 places from the low and medium priority categories.

Twelve low-priority areas were selected over medium-priority towns including one town ranked 536th out of 541, the committee noted.

Of all your posts I believe this one to be by far the most grounded in reality.

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

I'm now in the "none of the above" camp, even if it means letting Sunak in by the back door.

Truss looks incapable of delivering anything, is weasel wording her intentions etc.

Sunak doesn't deserve my vote because he doesn't even know how to fill a car with fuel (well he may now). Sunak has no deep connection with this country. But, he will be more credible on the world stage and he will be forced to provide meaningful help to people.

Not to mention the nodding dogs.

Oh and I hope he's paying for this one, unlike some of the others
