Sad day. The one person I thought would be the worst possible choice out of the 5.
Sad day. The one person I thought would be the worst possible choice out of the 5.Liz Truss will be PM then. Much more liked by the grassroots Tory party, than Sunak.

These Rebel MPs Are Planning a War with Labour Austerity
Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and their socialist mates won't let a Labour government implement more austerity.www.vice.com
Answer me this: if everything the left has done has been perfect, why do they keep losing?
At some point you’ve got to make an honest appraisal of your situation or you’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
Why does it take six fucking weeks for the conservative party to hold a vote?
We can have a GE for 40 odd million in one bloody day.
It's not like they didn't know it was coming.
Only way this could of been better is if somehow Braverman had made it through and won

I did. I put what went on with Corbyn to one side.
He then purged the left in senior positions and I thought fair enough.
Then Starmer made his ten pledges and I could really get on board with them.
But hes sinced trashed everyone of them and its been one kick in the teeth after another.
The reaction to the striking rail workers was bad enough, but the reaction to BA workers was incredible from the Labour Party.
It's OK playing the game to get elected but this lot have more than crossed the line for me.
I doubt it.A government can call an election with 24 hours notice?
What’s the big concern with Truss?
And that’s fair enough. But essentially choosing the Tories because you care about workers rights is a strange one.
The fact is a government shouldn’t pick a side in an industrial dispute, but should support a workers right to withdraw their labour and demand a fair deal.
I don’t think Labour MPs should be on the picket line (unless they’re on strike!) personally but fair enough if you do. From what I’ve seen Lammy has apologised for being mistaken about the BA strike but TBH I don’t know much about it.
I haven't chosen the tories, Ive forsaken Labour.
Of course, come election time, I may feel different, but at the moment, it's a no.
I have worked in local government down south since 1996 and I would say amongst qualified professionals in my field vast majority positioned left of centre but with healthy balance of environmental, social and economy issues. For most (but not exclusively) of the less uni-educated staff it definitely careers towards much stronger right wing views. That's down south in a small town rural Borough.Purely to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone have any stats to hand of voting % by party at the last few elections of private sector workers versus public sector workers and those who don't work at all?
*Edit: not looking for cheap point scoring because I think I know the answer (I could be wrong), but merely wondering how skewed one way or the other they were.
Well you have to hope so really as much because if not, what does it say about democracy where Liz Truss is the answer?!?Political suicide for the Conservative Party.
Spot on, as always.I reckon it’ll end up being Truss who’ll be another disaster and revert to the nonsense culture wars and taking photos on tanks.
Spot on, as always.
Dunno tbf, there's a way isn't there, it's just not the extreme way Rees Mogg is happy with.Sunak has said he aims to protect Brexit and the Union. Take your pick Rishi-it's one or the other

I'd like to hope it would be a play on words, but even Tory members aren't that stupid, so it'd probably see his chances up in smoke.Well it's what I think he means by 'protect Brexit'. Does he mean just to repeal the measures that are clearly hurting our economy, or just not to rejoin the EU? Because it seems even the former is taken to be equivalent to the latter in some Tory circles.

Then again, when appealing to a Tory membership, what's he supposed to say other than protecting Brexit and protecting the Union? Saying he wants to let Scotland go and rejoin the EU probably wouldn't get him elected!
Spot on, as always.
I’m not interested in alternative facts.So it’s a coronation?
Yes, indeed.What could possibly go wrong?
