Westminster Politics

Again, incredibly idealistic if you consider the composition of his party and where they lean.

Like it or lump it, his first role was to unite the party and fix inflation. That's what he set his cabinet and policy around.

That would have been the case in a normal Leadership election, this is one where he just got in without the formal process. They weren't going to oust him because of the damage to the party so he should have used that to his advantage. Hiring Braverman 6 days after she had been sacked was one of the most stupidest things to do. It immediately tainted his premiership and everyone thought it's the same old Tories. Had he wanted right wingers, he could have appointed others.

This is my point. It's not a normal leadership, and braverman had a big following in the party. There were a lot that weren't pleased with her sacking and a lot of those were also sceptical of rishi. Bringing her back was an easy route toward uniting the cabinet.

Also his own policy was voted out of the conservatives. Even though it made far more sense than Liz Truss. That tells you that the party was so far gone in sense that it needed systemic fixing in terms of getting on one page, before actually looking like a machine that sings from the same hymn sheet

Im not conservative by the way but I think rishi had entered the hot seat in a no win scenario. Every decision and every move would have been laughed at. Such is the state of that party. It's all about a move which is lesser of all evils from here until conservatives lose the election
 
A woman in the office, late 50s, is absolutely furious about Suella’s sacking. I knew she was conservative but given we work in a multi cultural team physically located in the same city centre office I had to divert her attention before she said what I knew she was suggesting. A 9am conference call saved her (and us) as the comments were starting to get genuinely concerning.

I’m sat opposite her now watching her stew :lol:

They live among us.
 
I've stopped celebrating them being sacked as some other cnut replaces them. They can make as much money once they're sacked so they just come in, make headlines, then profit from name recognition.

I would have thrown her just enough rope.

Who was the bigger cnut while in office, Priti or Suella?

It's like Hitler died and was replaced by a giant Mecha-Hitler with laser eyes, and ears that can track enemies for a thousand miles. Now we're moving on to the budget B-Movie version of Pretentious-Twat-Hitler. These monster movies are getting boring at this point...

How would that even work then? He'd need to be made a Lord and have some mouthpiece represent him in parliament? What could go wrong :lol:

Yep.

And conservatives are pissed because rishi Sunak is effectively saying that no one is competent enough. True as that may be it's still a risky move.

They just need to devour one of their own in parliament today, probably in one of the back offices, and then call a snap election. It would have to be somewhere really, really Tory like Liverpool or Glasgow. I'll send Rishi a list of suggestions.
 
Great news but, as usual with these things, I suspect her replacement will just out-evil and out-shit on the working class and less fortunate, her
 
Who should we pick to represent the UK on the international stage?

Why not the guy who was responsible for the greatest foreign policy disaster since Suez and didn't bother to stay around to help pick up the pieces.

Oh and he is getting a seat in Parliament for life. Brilliant.

Member of the Lords. It means he can only be questioned by other Lords and will avoid Commons scrutiny for his actions.

There will be a Junior FO Minister who handles Commons questions.

Aaaand that is how you avoid opposition scrutiny and accountability over foreign policy.

Baron Cameron for life. How is this democratic?
