Pig-headed Prime Minister sticks to her folly.

[JohnD]

The Con MPs are stressed now as they scan job ads.

If it is not firewalled

 

[JohnD]

Some people say it would be better to have a PM who is not an idiot.

It would certainly make a nice change.

 

[Mottie]

Sounds like we need Labour in government and then everything will be fixed in a jiffy.

 

[JohnD]

It would certainly be a big improvement to have a sensible grown-up in charge.

As you say.

Not sure it would be sorted in a jiffy. There is a bit of a mess to sort out.

Do you think things are going well and looking good ?

Well look on the bright side it’s doing your party a huge favour

17 point lead in the polls

The cry will go up to Labour MPs

Go back to your constituents and prepare for government

Hence the roll eyes. Whenever a different political party takes control of government from another party, all their plans go out of the window as they always blame the 'other lot' for fecking things up. Always have done, always will do or haven’t you noticed that? Labour will be no better and they’ll just blame the Tories.

No, things are not going well or looking good - are they going well or looking good for any other countries though?

The person in the pic is not keir starmer.

If you want a first class comic with silly hair, get someone like Ken Dodd. If you want a second-class comic with silly hair, get someone like de Piffle Johnson.

The country needs a serious grown-up.

 

[Justin Passing]

Yep, what we want in power is people who've never seen inside government and a machine which promotes juveniles like Rayner, reliable respectable characters like Abbot, nutters like Corbyn.
I think Starmer's a man of some integrity, and a great brain, but what else? Granted those two are enough to make it worth giving him a try.
Former chancellor characters like Ed balls, and Alan knownothing except being a milkman, don't inspire confidence. How much would they have known about the critical LDI strategies of the pension companies?
Alastair Darling was OK.
And Sunak, he's no mug.

I remember Darling sorting out the bankers in 08. He presented his case and a proposal which would work, they agreed. . Then before they could say ah yes but, he said "Good, cheerio then" and left.

Blimey the recent opinion poll commissioned by the times gives Labour a 30 point lead

UK now has living standards equivalent to Slovenia.…a country with half our gdp/capita.

haven’t the Tories done well

Do you have any evidence Angela Rayner is not a competent MP or shadow minister?

Serious grown up

Hence your un wavering support for
Jeremy Corbyn

You are in part to blame for all this caper had there been a credible leader voted in by the Labour member ship than they may have got into power

Fair weather friend ?

Still at least they now have a leader who has distanced his party from the “ momentum” fruit cakes and dumped most if not all of the corbinistas

Blimey the party can now even mention the name Tony Blair perhaps they should adopt his policy when he was seeking power

Brown nose the sun ?? Dare one even mention the daily wail

17 point lead in the polls

How many?
