What we have is exactly what we voted for.
Rishi Sunak has been reported to police in Scotland over a joke he made about Nicola Sturgeon in his Conservative party conference speech.
In his conference address, Sunak claimed the union between Scotland and the rest of the UK was “the strongest it has been in a quarter of a century”. He added: “Nicola Sturgeon wanted to go down in the history books as the woman who broke up our country. But it now looks like she may go down for very different reasons.”
Chris McEleny, the general secretary of the rival pro-independence Alba party, said he had reported Sunak to Police Scotland for contempt of court allegations, as the prime minister’s comments come amid a live police investigation.

He is trying to look like he is not a politician who has been a member of the government for years.
"Time for a change after 13 years of Conservatives? Vote Conservative for a different approach!"
"On Brexit, however, the Conservative band was playing the same old tunes. Sunak claimed that Brexit freedoms were making the UK “ever more competitive” in the regulation department, despite business groups constantly warning about the cost of dual regulation.
He then lionised the UK’s membership of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership — worth a 0.08 per cent long-term boost to GDP by the government’s own estimate — and extolled the value of freeports, the positive effects of which the Office for Budget Responsibility has said will “be difficult to discern even in retrospect”."

"...the Conservative party has changed from a party which supports a high-speed railway that costs far more than planned and runs from London to Manchester, to a party that supports a high-speed railway that costs far more than planned and runs from London to Birmingham."

Services down, taxes up.
"The extra tax haul from Rishi Sunak’s multiyear freeze to income tax allowances and thresholds is set to reach £40bn a year by 2028 because of stubborn inflation — £10bn more than estimated just a few months ago — according to research.
The calculation by the Resolution Foundation think-tank for the Financial Times demonstrates how the prime minister is quietly securing vastly higher tax revenues from the public through a process called “fiscal drag”.
When the Treasury freezes income tax thresholds while people’s salaries are growing, as they are doing amid the highest inflation for a generation, its revenues increase."

Did you see the pledge to commit funding for the Metrolink tram line to MAN?
That was opened in 2014?

Oh, the irony of announcing the scrapped line to Manchester in a former railway station in Manchester!
That little faux pas will be blamed on some office junior.Did you see the pledge to commit funding for the Metrolink tram line to MAN?
