I often confuse her with that awful sheila who was on the apprentice
Her name escapes me, but they look alike and both are trolls prepared to say anything

It wasn’t Boris ignoring allegations, it was the by-election losses that's causing the rats to leave the sinking ship
This is just the first new excuse they’ve had since then, given they ignored far worse behaviour prior to realising he’s now electoral poison. I reckon Rishi fancies a crack at the title, too. I’d check his MP diaries, see if he has any meetings with uncle Rupert

Rishi is dead in the water since his wife’s non-dom front it out then U-turn debacle.
Plus his green card retention was unwise and went down very badly after the tax hoo-ha. He says in his resignation letter that chancellor would probably be the last ministerial post he’d ever hold. If I had to bet on it, I reckon he’ll be living in California fairly soon.

you're probably right, though far worse scandals never stopped de pfeffel. if boris had a wife who was an issue he'd simply get a new one, thought the issue is normally him and his issue
like any politician he's probably gauged the numbers of support in his own party for a tilt already, which doesnt always equate to electability but is more about factionalism, and I'm no expert on the internal tory machinations

I think he wants out of it all.
Seems odd to mention it’d likely be his last ministerial job otherwise. He was stung by the non-dom stuff, and handled it very cack handedly. He doesn’t need this shit, he’s a multi-millionaire and his wife’s a billionaire, and I reckon he’s just gonna do one.

there's not many of them that haven't been tarred with some scandal or other
Raab was as complicit as Boris in the Pincher thing, and he was the front runner at least according to the betting sites.
Gove, Rees Mog, christ know who'll they end up with when the music stops
just saw an article of the odds. Mordaunt is favourite. they have Rishi as second favourite but I'm inclined to agree with you, it's not the actions of bloke gunning for the job (unless he's so sure of the numbers he can afford to act like he's not interested until he shows his hand, I guess) www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/05/who-are-the-favourites-to-succeed-boris-johnson

My guess is that it will be Jeremy Hunt.
Beaten by Boris for the leadership last time, he has kept his distance from the shit show and will probably appeal to the Tories as a 'new start' candidate. Having said that, he is still a cunt.

Johnson had a lifetime's practise at deciving people
each of his careers was built on working out what people wanted to hear and then telling them that in such a way they would believe him. Then... never being around long enough to face the consequences. He knew if he got fired for lying or fucking up he'd get another job, probably a better one. If he got caught cheating he'd just get another girlfriend, wife, whatever -- move on. Fuck up a friendship, no problem, he'll find others.
The prime ministership though, this is a problem - he knows anywhere from here is down and he'll not give this up voluntarily.
The problem the Conservative party has is nobody else could lead it promising different things to different people and actually be believed. Lower taxes? Sure, but that's an end to leveling up and northern constituencies will go back to Labour. Leveling up? Sure, but that'll need weath distribution and hand safe tory seats to the Liberal Democrats. Morduant, Truss, Sunak, Hunt - whichever one takes on the job will have to commit to a specific policy and single course of action that will result in disappointing a huge swathe of the party and the electorate as nobody can ever lie as well as Johnson. They are fucked.

This comment has aged surprisingly well.
However, you're thinking inside the reality box. Tory voters are not reality-based thinkers.
They're afraid of:-
The Federal Soviet Socialist European Superstate
Foreign people speaking in foreign on the bus or train
Brown people in dinghies stealing their biscuits
The PC woke brigade VIRTUE SIGNALLING and CHANGING HISTORY
health and safety (gone mad)
Transvestite toilets
Climate protestors
Trade unions, teachers, doctors, train workers, lawyers, judges, and other traitorous enemies of the people.
As long as they can be convinced that their folk demons are being attacked, they will gladly line up to starve to death in support of low tax rates for billionaires.

What is really depressing is that there is no-one in politics who would do a better job
They are all mediocre, middle management types in the tory party, and labour are no better, they just try to be more authentic and jump on whatever is the latest bandwagon to get down with the kids.
The rot set in when we started to have professional politicians who went straight from school to PPE at university, then a job in politics until they got thrown a seat as a reward. This has been compounded by years in the EU where they just rubber stamped whatever was handed to them and didn't have to actually make good decisions or improve the state of the country. And of course there was always the EU to blame when things went wrong, as they always do.
And it's not just Westminster, everywhere you look there are the same hopeless, yet overconfident and overpaid incompetent wankers who build personal empires, fail miserably at the jobs they were entrusted with and always trot out "lessons will be learned" type of excuses when their inability to perform the most basic of tasks leads to mayhem and death.
It's hard to conclude anything other than we are on a downward spiral into a bureaucratic atrophy where everything grinds to a halt.
Other than that I'm having a nice day.

you sound a bit upset about privately educated people earning more than you do
(, Wed 6 Jul 2022, 10:26, Reply)
That's what we call "a bit of a stretch"
I don't care about private education and parents wanting to give their kids the best start in life, it's called choice. I wish everyone could do it. I also don't care if people earn more than me, I care about whether I am adequately rewarded for what I do.
What I object to is incompetence not being punished. If you are going to be in a position of power and influence, then you should also be prepared to fall on your sword when you fuck up. It comes with the territory, or used to anyway. There are no consequences for executives in the public sector or politics any more, just more falling upwards in their careers.

I had a rather expensive education, and I completely agree with him.
Regardless of their party or background, I'd like our politicians to have actually done something like proper hard work at some point prior. All the top parties have a tranche of PPE students on the fast track, whose entire lives are directly, or tangentially, about cultivating their political career.
I want people who built their own business for 20 years, or who worked in a steel mill and stood up to protect their colleagues from nefarious practices, who are later convinced by others that their talents could serve the public good.

Compare Fatso's pre-politics career to Starmer's
Absolutely no contest. Ridiculous to claim they are the same
(, Wed 6 Jul 2022, 10:52, Reply)
I wouldn't wave Starmer's career around as any kind of example
He has presided over some monumental cock-ups in his time at the CPS, like the Rochdale grooming gangs, Saville and Warboys cases, but seems able to point the finger at others and get away with it.
Johnson is just a chancer who main ability is to surround himself with people who he has a hold over, hence promoting "Bottom" Pinscher. Until it all comes unstuck, but then again Johnson thrives on chaos.

you're dead right, ignore the career of a man who dedicated himself to the law, worked on many cases on a pro bono basis, and excelled in human rights law
Because of failures in the organisation that he led resulting in cases either not actually crossing his desk, or in fact there not being sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction.

Genuine question. I'm not British but I find British politics so much more fascinating than the wankers we have here.
Seeing a live 'resignation counter' on BBC news (currently at 36!) is hilarious. It's like Thatcher in 1990 all over.
