O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[navypie]

For me, the 'leadership' hit a disturbing new low the other day, when the utterly useless Matt Hancock actually did a great Donald Trump impersonation! He congratulated himself profusely for achieving what he described as an "audacious target" of 100,000 tests per day. His claim was proved to be a complete lie, but it was the self-congratulatory tone that was sickening. It seemed a definite move towards Trumpism, where you make a complete f@ck up of the situation but tell people you have done a brilliant job in the hope that some dimwits are sucked in. I just wonder whether this outright lying came from Hancock himself, or whether it is now a strategy decided by the leader (Dominic Cummings).
With the failure by our government becoming more apparent by the day*, expect to see and hear more of this.

* Note to Soccerman, seriouspie, TheBlackHorse & Co. I know you will never, ever consider that a single word of criticism against this government might be valid, so allow me to help you out with your excuses:

1. We are the only country being honest with the figures, all the others are lying.
2. It would have been even worse with Corbyn in charge.
3. Typical whinging from lefty losers.

Are there any I've missed?

Oh dear, typical whinging from the lefty losers.

Have compassion Jolly Jack ......... It's not nice being a recurring failure. I don't mind the Lefties whinging and pontificating because time after time they appear to fail despite the words and views they continually spout. You've got EP quacking at every opportunity and Sid with his pearls of wisdom (chortle!) but the end result stays the same .... they lose. Of course these fine gentlemen have lived a lifetime of hard graft and understand the 'working man' mantra better than any. I can't quite comprehend why Nottinghamshire with all it's past history of real hard grafters, especially the miners in their thousands, now has 8 Tory MP's compared to a miserable 3 for the Socialists. Indeed EP's own Broxtowe constituency returned a Tory who nobody had really heard of, despite The Socialist's Greg Marshall being a local guy and the benefit of only just losing to Soubry in 2017........ strange eh? Oh yes I forgot ..... Brexit plus the many lies Boris told convinced the Nottinghamshire electorate to vote the way they did which makes them all ignorant doesn't it EP? Possibly they didn't get the education you received.

Does all that bullsh!t mean that you classed yourself as a loser when Blair was winning 3 elections?

Of course .... no problem if you accept defeat with disappointment but good grace. Sorry apologies, I doubt if you know any of the social graces.

Shouldn't accepting victory also be done with good grace?
