Interesting splash across the top.
Whatever they do now looks like the sword of damocles hangs by a weaker thread. Stick, and the financial carnage continues, and nobody trusts them. Row back, and nobody trusts them as they admit they were catastrophically inept with our finances.Rumours there’s talks about a U turn on tax cuts in mini budget ! Truss and KK have shit themselves
You planning on moving? I’ve lived in Banbury area all my life (56yrs) it’s gone from a busy market town with large employers AP, Alcan, General Foods. It’s now mostly warehousing Amazon ect alongside the M40.It's a plan.
As an aside, what's Bodicote and surrounding area like to live in? It all seems quite... posh and expensive, but is there anywhere to avoid?!?
Yep, wife has a job in Oxford, and living on the outskirts of Coventry is too far to travel. Original plan was get married, move house etc, but Covid slowed it down so we seemed to find ourselves justs staying here but, now she has to go in four days a week, time to sort it out really. Ideal was probably around Fenny Compton area, so north of Banbury, more accessible to parents and my job etc but close enough for Banbury station to Oxford. As far as I can tell from a quick scout, that side isn't too bad, but Northend looks a bit ropey...You planning on moving?

The town centre is mostly charity shops, coffee shops & Turkish barbers.
There’s large housing developments on just about every exit route out of Banbury, 1000’s of new homes being built, yet the hospital is slowly being run down.
All the surrounding villages are nice & you’re right they do have their posh & expensive parts.

Being anti-ToryI’ve been a Labour supporter for too long to not think we might fuck it from here, but I can’t see any way out of this that doesn’t end with two years of absolute chaos in government.
From their point of view they need to go into opposition to decide what they represent and the direction they're going to go in - I could see someone like Gove taking over as leader.If I was a Tory I think I might consider cutting my loses, ditch Truss call a GE & let Labour inherit all this financial shit,Brexit,war in Ukraine & numerous strikes.
Then dust off the Labour isn’t working posters & wait it out.
A white wash loss is a win win for the Tories. It either gives them the opportunity to morph into this Britannia Unchained cult the current cabinet is and enter political oblivion, or it gives them the opportunity for a clean sweep and reinvent themselves as the Tory party they used to be with the fruit loops on the back benches and the more sensible Tories front of shop instead of front to back.From their point of view they need to go into opposition to decide what they represent and the direction they're going to go in - I could see someone like Gove taking over as leader.
The problem they have is that they focused too much on and got consumed in chasing those who'd vote for someone like Farage. I'm sure I read that their membership demographics had changed somewhat since Brexit and the cult of Al.A white wash loss is a win win for the Tories.

Exactly this and it would work I'm sure.Call an election now, Labour win and have to deal with the fallout. Then in 4 years time get back in running on 'look what a mess Labour made of everything'.
Shes absolutely snookered herself. All of Boris’ pretend everything’s OK and bluster through but none of the charm or humour. The half the party who supports her only wants her there to do the mental shit and the other half, the public, and the markets will eat her alive if she does.
Even if they put Rishi or Mordaunt in without consulting the members they’d only get the market back onside at best and for a lot of stuff the damage is done in terms of public perception.

I'm pretty sure the paper and the website are separate.Interesting splash across the top.
I admit I pop over to mailonline occasionally to see what the enemy is thinking.
Are they planning to go behind a paywall, or are the paper (digital or not) and the website separate entities?

I reckon Labour will get in but it'll be a hung parliament.You and me both mate.
We can't do a Milan 2005 from here can we?

It does have that feel of the mid 90s when there was suddenly nothing Major could do to win the next election.If the election were held tomorrow then it'd be a bloodbath and a huge Labour majority.
In 2 years time who knows for certain, but I still think it'll be a comfortable Labour majority.
Tories are too far gone now.
A huge Labour majority is going to be much harder given they haven’t got the luxury of a 50 seat boost in Scotland.
As long as they don't do a Jean van de Velde, it'll do me.A huge Labour majority is going to be much harder given they haven’t got the luxury of a 50 seat boost in Scotland.
If they get a majority it won’t be massive.
They will retcon it and blame the unions for the train strike on the last day (Wednesday).Been listening to a few political podcasts in the last week and it sounds as though the tory party conference was a disaster.
A lot of MPs didn't even attend which is apparently unprecedented.
For fuck's sake.
For fuck's sake.
Do we need to update Godwin's law?
Let it go!
If you fancy a laugh, have a look down this list of Tories predicted to lose their seat on these numbers. All your favourites are there!
It's the robot that got my attention. Creepy.
