She is!

Braverman gone and it looks like David Cameron is coming back into the government?

David Cameron returning to the cabinet looks a vote winner.

For Labour and Reform UK.

Bring back the bloke who ran off in 2016, that'll get the votes pouring in won't it.

This is probably a great move, both Braverman being hooked by Sunak and a return for Cameron. It will stop a divide in votes between the fake Conservatives and the Reform Party, as I think this will have been the last straw for most if not all true Conservatives. It will provide the best chance of a different party coming to power in this country, with new and fresh ideas.
If as is more likely, Labour now win the next election, I see this country, as we knew it, falling apart.

Have you been a hermit for 13 years ? Every time I return it is more of a dump and now nothing works. UK has been asset stripped by gangsters.

[Magpies1959]

I agree it is getting worse, due in the main to rather large issues like Brexit and Covid. That doesn't stop me from thinking it will get even worse, quicker under a Labour government, and a king who is a WEF stooge, who looked totally bored at the cenotaph, and marched off before the end of the national anthem. So sorry for wanting the best future for the people of this country.
Gordon Brown did a reasonable job of asset stripping this country by selling off half of the country's gold reserves.

I was in Nice and Marseille last week with work and I have to say it sees even worse than the UK now!

Labour shouldn’t need any help to oust this lot.

Magpies1959, whilst it may seem, on the face of it, that the selling gold reserves by Brown was a mistake (the price rose significantly afterwards), it needs to be looked at in a different way. Countries hold gold reserves as a way of controlling exchange rates and for contingency purposes. They actually, except in those circumstances, don't do anything to benefit the country. It's a bit like keeping a Rolex in the draw. Of no value unless you sell it.

If you want to talk about asset stripping, you should concentrate on such things as council houses, and the public utilities, which were sold off to enable the government of the day to offer tax breaks. The same can be said of the revenue from North Sea oil. The lack of council housing has been a major contributor to the shift from home ownership to renting. In the region of 60% of ex-council houses are now in the private rented sector earning profits for landlords at the expense of tenants. The privatised utilities pay huge dividends to shareholders (money which could have been going to the exchequer), whilst providing negligible service in, for example, the water industry which is responsible for polluting the UK's waterways.

At least we are in agreement for once that Brexit has made things worse.
