Westminster Politics

Congratulations on the promotion and welcome up, but spare us the use of the word snowflake.

Thank you very much sir. Don't worry I won't make a habit of it, it was used in satire as it seems to be a right wing buzz word.

Tax on landlords could help pay for social care, says Keir Starmer

But fecking late, isn't it Keir?!

You'll end up with one of two things happening; landlords pass the cost on so rent goes up across the board, or increasingly thin margins become even thinner so casual landlords just sell up, restricting supply and pushing prices up. Either way, those who need to rent will lose out.

Rumoured that some big names could be under threat or at least on the move today....

Reshuffles absolutely baffle me, as do most cabinet appointments.

Surely you want people who are experts in their field? You can't just shuffle everyone round to give them all a go at the same job. It's like they just spin a wheel and go ermmm ok Liz Truss... will beeee.... Education Secretary. Raab moves to....... Home Sec!

Is it really that fecking basic?
 
Replacing one set of corrupt, incompetent idiots for another.

It's all about the PM surrounding himself with loyalty as opposed to competence.

Literally! I have never understood how a society would allow us to have individuals with zero expertise on a subject matter to head up the entire sector? Not to mention the absolute bunch of morons we have in our current government.

Yep. I believe in Canada, at least a few years ago, they had experts in the field heading up each sector.
 
I think Sunak is the only one I've seen that seems qualified to do his role.

I despise the Tories but if they do something well I'm not tribal enough to be a twat about it.

Exactly, ideology can be put aside on the (extremely) rare occasions they get something right.

He's certainly got his flaws but he doesn't make me want to hit him square in the face like Raab or Patel.
 
So after fecking up so badly with Afghanistan, Raab is promoted to Justice Sec and Deputy PM :lol: Beggars belief.

Think he's always been Deputy PM - part of the reason why it was mental that both him and Boris were on holiday at exactly the same time. Also Justice Sec definitely a demotion from Foreign Sec.

Edit: I'm totally wrong, no idea where I got that idea from.

Raab and Patel have to be the worst, when you combine sheer incompetence, awful ideology and power. Hopefully Patel also gets the boot (unlikely).
