really jealous of her for some weird reason.

Just tell us you voted Reform and log out.
Of course he does, he's a sailor boy
Sad about Penny Mordaunt then...
Let's hope the Tories are dead forever.
I think they'll go back to Johnson around 2027/28 once the latest "rising star" has dismally failed.

Just another one of those single teenage mothers getting pregnant to jump the housing queue and get a Deputy Prime Minister job
Yeah, not leaving your wife several times, having illegitimate children in unknown numbers, that you have to pay for to keep the mothers quiet, will tend to cut into the net worth.
That was a good day for the UK.
I hope the Tories do try to out reform the reform party because they will keep themselves and the reform party out of office for as long as they do.
People on here said Labour was dead after the last GE, I am glad they were wrong.
Hope the bank of England cut interest rates the stock market moves up the investment we need starts flowing in. Hope springs eternal and all that.

This is what worries me. The Tories are the official opposition and will get the air time afforded to them as a result. If they go far-right, then the only alternative to Labour will be that ideology in the eyes of the mass media and the general narrative. Far-right politics normalised.
If Labour don't improve things for the majority of the population over the next 5 years, then there will be a surge towards the only other option people belive is available in our FPTP system. If in the next election Labour have to run on "keep out the far-right" rather than "keep up the progression we've made" then the country is truly fecked.
That is a risk I admit.
I think scrutiny of what they are saying, lets be honest lying about, cleanses. The reason reform didn't make a break through in seats is because of the Farage re Putin interview. Killed them stone dead or they would have given Labour a real problem.
If the Conservatives want to be reform mark2 then they will be found out, you can only get away with the shit reform talk because they are not a serious party.( same as the greens
) Look at the "contract". Farage saying its just stuff we say but we aren't getting into power so it isn't important to have a plan to implement/pay for the stuff we say. If the conservatives blunt reform by talking shite like reform then they will get the additional scrutiny and they end up with 25% as parts of the conservative party will not stay in the party if it goes that way.Her achievement in working her way from a challenging childhood with difficult parenting to deputy prime minister is incredible and I have nothing but respect and admiration for her.

You're hoping for scrutiny when we've just had 14 years of a government batting off any concept of scrutiny. And the Farage/Putin thing didn't cut through because it cycled out in 24 hours and no one has mentioned it since.
The media still drive the narrative. Like how we're now being bombarded with narratives that Labour has risen from the ashes to seize power despite being more unpopular than it was in the last few elections. Reform party is now set to take centre stage as a challenger party despite getting 14% of the vote.
Labour need to build up a solid support base in the next 5 years or the next election will be hell.
The Russian bots have found their way from Twitter to the Caf!
It sure if anyone has seen it but there’s some fairly ambitious changes to workers rights being implemented in the next 100 days that we’ve had shared round at work. Or should I say implementing them in 100 days seems ambitious
I’ll try to find the detail to share

Really odd, this is exactly what I said they were doing. Alas most people don't understand politics and just want the face on TV to echo what's in their head and if not, they're literally a traitor.
I agree, I use to live in her constituency she is the very essence of hard work, she perhaps doesn't come across like many of her contemporaries, but if Starmer is going to want 'shoulders to the wheel', he could not have a better deputy.
Same here, she's not a deep thinker but her passion and work ethic has shown that she deserves to be exactly where she is. I hope that Starmer actually listens to her opinions rather than just using her to show his commitment to the lefties of the party. It's a bonus that she seems to enrage tories and the Daily Mail.
Hunt has decided not to stand as Tory leader. Fine by me, he seemed to be the most capable of the likely contenders and I'd much prefer they pick one of the usual complete feckwits instead.

That's odd, I thought he was ambitious.
Just watched his press conference and he came across as a PM ready to tackle issues that need addressing in a professional manner.
It looks like he has a made a lot of good choices for Ministerial positions.
PS: I think the wooden panels behind him were finished in Matt Varnish.

Yes, but 'raising Lazarus from the dead' is a bit beyond even his ambitions!
I don't deny he isn't pragmatic, but becoming leader of your party, speaking for them at PMs and meeting the challenge of rebuilding them is surely too good to resist.
So people from a working class background are not allowed to eat lobster or drink champagne? I suppose she should be washing down her fish and chips with a pint of mixed?
Obviously not!
If Labour had won 'on a technicality', say a majority of <20, then he might have thrown his cap in the ring.
However you don't hold the senior office of state after the PM and not know which way the winds blowing, especially when the 'natural party of government' has just been 'holed below the water line'.
I wouldn't worry about it, even after being told @Matt Varnish still didn't realise that champagne doesn't keep 25 years and Michelin don't do five stars.
You are right on the number of Michelin stars but you can drink 25 year old champagne. I do enjoy a nice bottle of champagne when I want to celebrate something, and I'm as working class as you get.
I think Rayner is yours after a few Babychams
Have you not been reading the threads....Labour got lucky and it's not a huge victory. They are hanging by a thread and Hunt could win big as leader in a few years time.
Flaky and outdated? An ugly shade?
I hate the you're working class, know your place, kind of crape.
That's interesting, I've always been told champagne doesn't keep well. A quick google says some still think that.
I don't like wine or champagne so I'm not qualified to take sides. Beer or malt whisky personally.
