June 9, 20241 yr Appears the strategy is to keep Sunak out of the way as much as possible from now on, but then there is another debate coming up. The only way he can dodge the D-Day scrutiny is not turning up.
June 10, 20241 yr Appears the strategy is to keep Sunak out of the way as much as possible from now on, but then there is another debate coming up. Tories could promise a million for everybody it wont move the needle, nobody believes anything they're saying anymore Think people stopped listening long ago they want ‘stability’ with Starmer now or that’s the choice they’ve been given!
June 10, 20241 yr Author He's now resorted to tweeting about the law should show no mercy to criminals. Something the Tories have a great record on over the last 14 years - axing loads of police officers and currently letting lags out early because they didn't build enough prison space. At this rate I'm half-expecting capital punishment in the manifesto he's that far down to the 'resort to nasty Tory rhetoric' rabbit hole. So do the Tories now not believe in rehabilitation? We're going to need more than 20k prison places promised by Labour if the Tories get back in if nobody is suitable to rehabilitate. No word on how they plan to pay for it all from the Tories.

Amusing considering he's got to fines under his belt the last couple of years :D
June 10, 20241 yr Anyone following Ed Davey’s manifesto speech? His stance on the nhs and social care. :clap: if only Sunak could have an ounce of this man’s compassion.
June 10, 20241 yr Author So apparently the tweeting about crime is because the death penalty is in the Tory manifesto.

You were right!!
June 10, 20241 yr I don't understand why Rishi is campaigning as if if he wins it will be the first time he's in charge and not as if he's the incumbent.
June 10, 20241 yr Author You were right!! Let's wait for the manifesto. I can't believe they'd actually be that stupid to include it.
June 10, 20241 yr https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjmmrwexv4ko Christ!! Usually, Farage's fash toe the line of acceptability and hwn row back from it after being challenged. This fash is just being out and out fascist!!

June 10, 20241 yr I think that lady in the video who said she doesn't vote Tory kind of said it all, that it's an affluent area where most of its residents don't know what it's like to not be well off. That guy at the end who described Boris Johnson as a "repulsive slug" made me laugh though :lol:

Lib Dems can afford to be more pie in the sky because they're not actually going to win so its difficult to judge
June 10, 20241 yr https://x.com/politlcsuk/status/1800230041286271117?s=46 I know it is now cliche to say they're deliberately sabotaging themselves but they have to be at this point
