How can anyone that deluded be allowed anywhere near power. Its blatantly and fundamentally untrue, his friends should be concerned.

I guess he can’t exactly say ‘anyone with a working brain despises us’

No UK politician is worth the effort of such strong emotion, they're a usless and bland bunch. Vote them in, boot them out, repeat.

[bitchstewie]

Three years excusing and defending the depravities of Johnson.

Now "No UK politician is worth the effort of such strong emotion".

And they say satire is dead.

Bullst. The current lot are utter irredeemable scum with a capital S and I hope they never darken our doors, TV’s, radios, newspapers or Parliament ever again.

It’s difficult to put into words how much I despise them.

[Garvin]

It’s looking like the Conservatives now have nothing to lose in casting Rishi adrift!

[bitchstewie]

Perhaps but the membership is utterly batst and would probably have Truss or Johnson back if they could.

I've done less than 2% of the posts on the Rayner thread - and all essentially say the same thing. Indeed, I've posted on there twice more than you...

It was a genuine question, I'm a huge proponent for freeports and trade liberalisation in general (I don't want any import taxes on anything) - but it's been investigated, and no evidence of corruption or wrongdoing found, merely lack of transparency of 'value for money' for the shares issued.

That would be the commons investigation that Houchen asked to discard the evidence provided by The Eye, I imagine your paltry 2% post count would be a little higher if there was evidence that dear old Angela had tried to block evidence.

As you say, it’s all above board, friends and associates of Houchen own 90% of a company that bought a 110 acre site for £1 per acre, great value for the taxpayer. The company went on to turnover £150m returning a profit of £50m, nice work if you can get it. Still, Rayner might have fiddled the taxman out of £1500 so let’s devote 100 times more column inches to it, nuts. Have another go.

You mean apart from losing what little electoral credibility they had left?

Oh you should have seen the thread when Starmer had that curry

Except an early general election?

It’s the only card Rishi has left to play if threatened.

Whoa there poppet.

I asked a genuine question - and you're creating strawmen all over the place. One thing I certainly didn't say is 'it's all above board'. I said the investigation didn't find any evidence of corruption.

I don't read the Eye, all I see is their social media, so asked for the info. As said, there was an investigation - why would they disregard evidence (and what was the evidence?)?

You've already been a bit of a fool on the post count thing - there's nothing different in my posting levels compared to yours overall, don't double down.

Interesting projection from Sky.

Sky News projection: Labour on course to be largest party - but short of overall majority

You better not look at any media in the next few months then.

England only. Assumes the position in Scotland and Wales is unchanged from the 2019 election. Scotland? No chance.

Do you think there are any good reasons to not vote Tory?

Lots, but voting Labour just seems worse. I cannot stand Sunak, didn't vote for the lying POS Johnson, unlike vociferous stewie....who has memory loss?

The turn out for these elections has been stated at <20% in some places, 20% FFS. It just shows the total apathy and absolute ste we have to chose from. It's like a box of Quality Street and there's a lemon cream or a toffee left.

I doubt the general election will be the same, they never are, and the Conservatives are done, but Labour will have a battle with the other loons in many areas. We require two, better three credible parties to vote for, but there is not one. That remains the issue.

[bitchstewie]

Memory loss?

I voted for an independent at the 2019 GE.

The electoral credibility they have left, if any, is so low that it must now be a toss up that a change might enable some recovery. Granted that recovery will be from disaster to, at best, near disaster but it just might head off extinction!

It says Labour 294, Con 242, LD 38,Others 66, leading to a hung parliament
That's UK, not just England.

My prediction is that there will be a hung parliament with the Conservatives the largest party and another election in 2025, the second election being catastrophic for the Conservatives.

Ah, caught up with what I was ‘on about’. We’ll see, but this could be the best result for the country. It might just shake Starmer from his ‘malaise’ and come up with some real policies in the near term and a plethora of new talent in the HoC to replace some of the crap swept out. Labour may well have to form a coalition with a minor party, not the second largest . . . cue Labour looking like the SNP in Scotland, although if they did go with the Greens to get them over the majority line I do hope the rUK Greens are not the imbeciles the Scottish Greens are.
