Rishi Sunak - Prime Minister
Discussion
Loughton is the MP next door to me, in fact was my MP until I moved. He's going because he's going to lose his seat & he knows it. His majority has been whittled down over the past two GE's & until yesterday, he was projected to lose next time out. The calculation is somewhere betweeen why put myself through that & standard jumping ship.
As it happens, he hasn't been a particularly bad constituency MP but nor a great one. He's no great loss to the area. Still, we'll always have that uber cringe Leadsom for leader chant, if we ever need our toes curled.

Looking forward to Braverman, who spent much of her time in office attempting to ban protest she disapproved of complaining about her free speech being curtailed.
On Sunak, power ebbs quickly. It's becoming clear his time is up, you see it in the behavious of MP's in the HoC, back benchers swanning off to far right kneesups, honeytrap weirdos sacking themselves, a mounting breakdown in discipline & power.

Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and far-right French politician Eric Zemmour were also listed as keynote speakers"
Another national embarrassment that a former cabinet minister is aligning herself with the far right and a B list TV personality.
I want my country back
Mr Penguin said:
If you ever think you are incapable of getting the next promotion, just remember: if Braverman can become Home Secretary, you can do anything you want.
If the last five years of British politics has demonstrated anything it's that you can accomplish anything if you are rich and went to Eton. Did you read about the Eton advent calendar? It's the same as a regular advent calendar but all the doors are opened by your father's contacts (C) Ivo Graham.

Honest question, but is there not a serious national security issue with the likes of Braverman rubbing shoulders with Orban?
You mean like Johnson partying with the guy with KGB links?I'm sure there's no issue at all
I'd still like to read it though seeing as I helped to pay for it to be written.Speed 3 said:

Instead of slagging off this chap people should be congratulating him.
He went out one night to play a game of hide the sausage and it appears the chaps who were with (And I bet they are hard left militant trots who buy their jam from that Jeremy Corbyn chap) decided to ask him for money. Mark (I feel such affinity with Mr Menzies that I feel; it's ok to call him by his first name) anyway Mark could of rung the Police and involved half a dozen officers six support groups, the fire and ambulance services a SWAT team and getting the local police commissioner out of bed to comment on twitter.
Instead mark simply asked for some money from a 78-year-old aide. They (the aide not the militant trots who had kidnapped Mark) paid the cash over and claimed it back from campaign funds.
It's not often I say this but today I must I say jolly well done Mark you saved a fortune in public expenses and resolved the issue promptly and efficiently

A chap has got to make a living after all and I'm guessing that opportunities for a back bencher that no-one has ever heard of are fairly limited

Perhaps not totally surprising, but still 14% is very low.

Seen coverage that they may increase the SDLT threshold for first time buyers. Amazing that they can think a tax reduction on something that is paid once will result in an improvement of the Tory fortunes when a tax reduction on something they pay every month didn't.

It shows just how resilient the Tories are. Backs against a wall MP's using funds for blackmail pay offs. Ex leaders who won't lie down.Most political parties would have folded by now most PM's would have folded by now.
Not Rishi not these tories more backbone than a giant. Rishi still on the case
It's not often I say this but today I must I say well done Rishi you are keeping these Labour chaps in check
Sad to see them take the familiar path of going after benefit scroungers etc. 2 new targets, sick note Britain and if you’ve been unemployed for more than 12 months.
Guaranteed there is no one who can deal with sick note people off work (idea is to get ailments validated / see if there’s other work you could do rather than be off work). Clearly bks and will never happen as you’d need an army of staff on top of the job centres and GPs you already have.
And the over 12 month unemployed will be another tick box load of crap.
Be good if someone would actually do something genuine to help unemployed people rather than use them for rhetoric
