Liz Truss

[Jupiter]

Difficult to see how it could be worse but in Starmer I take your point, Paraphrasing your point GREED rules the world,

It can always be worse, Starmer is a plank of wood.

[TheDeeDon]

Oh come on guys, I know that Starmer is a boring git and is more Blair than Corbyn but you can't seriously say he would be as bad as Johnson, Truss, Rees-Mogg, Dorries, Hunt, Raab, Braverman, Patel, Hancock etc etc etc and their trickle down economic madness. Never in a million years

Depends on what you want for the country. We don't really know what he stands for, but he is in the pocket of the usual suspects who really hold the power, so not expecting much difference to be honest. A bit more competent at least, but we can't benchmark anyone against the current shower of merde in charge.
A lot of people in the Labour party detest him too so it won't be plain sailing for him in power.

[TheDeeDon]

They should just go all out mad and put Nadine in charge. I think that would get us independence.

He would. The Unions would rip him a new arsehole within 6 months. Nothing wrong in a strong Union properly standing up for workers rights and working conditions. But the current set make Arthur Scargill right wing.
All political parties have a finite life before they need a change, the current Tories are now in a no-win territory. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
The current UK cost of living crisis is mirrored, if not even exacerbated, in most countries. But the press now feel inferior if they don’t have a daily dig and the voters are always going to follow.
Labour in by 2024 and out by 2028.

Labour will say whatever it takes to make the bigoted b'astards in the north of england return to the fold.

This means making statements with the room decked in hun flags, singing god save the ruling classes at their conference and " making brexit work"

In lots of ways they're worse that the tories.
Thank god this is all happening in a foreign country.

[donsdaft]

Things are looking bleak for Lizzie.

Surely there's a limit to how much humiliation anyone can take.

If I was her I would get tae f'uck before PMQ's on Wednesday, packing it in as a constituency MP at the same time, forcing a bye election.

Her career is finished anyway, she might as well.

And give away the perks?

Not a chance. A whole stratospherically-different sense of morality.

[donsdaft]

Possibly min, possibly.

I think having to face the House of Commons wearing a "I'm a useless b'astard" t-shirt would be too much for me though.

Mind you, I've history for saying "shove your money up your arse"

Makes you feel better, if only briefly.

We are to hear frae the the Hunt **** today an emergency mini -mini budget, , But a far more important statement frae Sturgeon is also expected Sturg will present the third independence paper, which will outline economic and currency plans for an independent Scotland. And I tell you what she better not phuck it up !!! like in 2014, Talking phucking up anyone see that pathetic performance by oor Lord Advocate at the English supreme court ? Savaged by a deid haggis doesn't start to cover it,

[Red Zone]

It sums it up when Jeremy Hunt is seen as the saviour of the economy. Have we really fallen that far?

I'm with Vintage, she will tough it out as I don't think she really cares what people think of her, pocketing her £150K per annum as long as she can as she is too thick to get a real job so she will continue to milk it.

After she loses the next election, she might even stay on as an MP as she is in a super-safe Tory seat continuing to collect her MP's salary of £84K per annum plus lots of add-ons. Who cares if your career is f'cked if you are on that sort of gravy train for as long as you want to be
