Absolutely.
The illusion of change. The illusion of choice. That's all their party wants.

Well trans men and trans women are going to get a lot of legislation directed their way. Hopefully that will keep people satisfied as they and their kids go to bed hungry.
You're good. Are you the wildcard candidate?
"I was raised a normal pigeon before I moved into my mansion then sold my siblings to be made into pigeon pie for my fellow Conservative family members".

Pigeon for PM?
Do the conservatives really think their racist hard right supporters are going to support an Asian PM whose ancestors are immigrants? (I know not all of their supporters are racist but they’ve certainly got more than any other major uk party)
A left wing party yes of course it can work, just look at Obama.
Bur a right wing party? Honestly I think this will be an own goal on their part and will see them lose some of their most hardcore supporters.
It’s a shame we even have to have these discussions or for this to be a thing, and if it was a left wing party I don’t think it would be a thing. But for the conservatives? I can’t be the only one who thinks this?

What did he get lectured on? I've only seen the highlights but I agree with his view that you cant borrow yourself out of inflation. Hes the only one who seems to understand this.
Also I saw the clip of Tom saying "you told me its because the boss said so" regarding NI tax cuts. That in my opinion, is a very daft political move. He won small points but it would have come at a big cost.
Liz Truss is Adam Ant that she promises to Stand and Deliver and won't dress up in any more silly cosplay outfits.
The democrats are further left than the republicans. Sure Donald Trump and half their supporters call them Socialists. They’re certainly not far right.
Similarly labour aren’t particularly left wing under Keir Starmer, but they’re a lot further from the far right than Conservatives.
I think you’re underestimating the Lib Dems here. I also doubt UKIP will be stepping aside in key Tory battlegrounds to the same extent as last election too.
Who does she think she is? Truss isn't fit to lick Thatcher's balls
Sunak a privileged little cnut but he’s probably the best candidate out of these lot
…..what?
It was primarily about the balance between taxation and borrowing. He has been raised taxation and having an increased amount of money at a time of cost of living crisis in the country.
So I believe this is the point
Now if the pm was Muslim or Hindu or Jewish this wouldn't actually be a problem
Of course the two most obvious solutions would be to ditch the law or to not have the pm advise on church appointments anyway
Wasn’t Blair Catholic?
Trust a man who has both the words kill and looney in his surname to come out with that
Yeah but that's not down to his policies.?
We also won't get out of the hole by cutting taxes and spending more
I think he officially converted just after he stepped down as PM, but it was known beforehand.
It was. His policy of increasing corporation tax was heavily criticised as was the decision to not increase basic tax thresholds
Yeah but the rise in cost of living isn't down to these things
No... Wife and kids were
He converted 2 years after he stepped down as pm

Baptised Catholic
Joined church of England whilst at school at Eton... Probably figured he had a better shot at pm than pope
No it isn't. But it isn't helping the situation was what was being said.
I understand that, but I dont see how anyone from the panel can lecture him with a serious face whilst proposing to cut taxes if they were elected.
Tend to agree. Which was why I had posted.
Having said that, I am not a fan of Rishi. He seems to me to be rather false. Especially when he tries to sell himself as a man of the people.
But he could easily win because of his experience.
Yeah.. Problem is they're all false. And is the ones who appear more genuine aren't the least bit qualified.
A woman of colour has a chance to lead the tories? Isn't that weird? I truly know feck all about British politics aside from Lozza Fox and Elvis.
No. Cameron and May did huge work selecting women and people of colour for safe Tory seats after 2005, when they suddenly realised the entire Parliamentary Party were old, white men.
Patel, Badenoch, Braverman, Sunak, Zahawi etc were all chosen for seats that would stay Tory even if there was a full-on proletarian revolution in the UK. They all happen to have politics slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.
Their success is lauded as showing anyone can make it in Britain. Despite them having preferential treatment based on who they are and the views they hold.
