I wouldn’t be surprised if someone competent replaces Boris that the Tories will retain their majority. Unless they pick Wallace or Tugendhat - which they won’t as not Brexit enough (ditto Hunt too) - then there isn’t anyone competent which is why Boris won the vote only a month ago. Look at the runners and riders - Sunak, shattered by the non Dom saga, a gift for Starmer and will make the cost of living crisis even worse: Truss - off her rocker, would melt on the world stage: Braverman - Donald Trump in a dress: Penny the skate: flying wardrobe on Splash is her top achievement, that’s the Southampton seats both gone red again: Patel: worse than May as Home Secretary, didn’t think that was possible, Rwanda saga will forever be her legacy and link. I could go on eg Javid too dry to appeal widely, Steve Baker a loony but I want the Tory Party gone from power as soon as possible so they can rebuild as Kinnock had to do with Labour in the 1980s. Just a rudderless, populist, single issue eg Brexit mess. And they couldn’t even get that ‘done’ properly looking at the NI protocol. Their legacy - austerity, Brexit (sort of), Grenfell (shared with Labour), huge scale PPE fraud (which will sink Michelle Donelan), economic shrinking eg Brexit, gross mishandling, education in chaos at all levels, record costs of living to match the stagflation of the 1970s. If like Labour this period keeps the Tories out of power for 18 years the country will be in a much better place. As a Lib Dem voter I’m not overkeen on Starmer but cannot fail to be an improvement than this pile of imbeciles on his worst day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 7 July, 2022 Share Posted 7 July, 2022 Well that speech was everything expected it to be. Waxing lyrical about how wonderful and brilliant his premiership has been and blaming his forced resignation on "the herd" in Westminster. At no point did it occur to him to even pretend to show any remorse or contrition for any of the catastrophic failures of leadership he has overseen. As an aside, I see that Starmer has stated he will push for a VONC if he doesn't leave office immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
