What is Sunak playing at?

Postby cromwell » 13 Nov 2023, 11:16

Johnson won an 80 seat majority, partly because he wasn't your archetypal "centrist".
So of course the Tories bin him and bring in Sunak, after fiddling the rules. Another globalist, another Tony Blair clone.

Then Rishi Blair immediately bombs in the polls; because the people who voted for Brexit, the people in the red wall, actually want some conservative policies. They didn't want another Tony Blair tribute act. But they got one.

Soooo, Sunak Sahib keeps on sinking faster than the Titanic, so what does he do?
He kicks out the only member of his cabinet making vaguely conservative noises and digs up - David Cameron!

Who is a globalist, centrist, Tony Blair clone.
The Tories are heading for the biggest whacking of all time.

It's a joy watching it all unfold.

Cruella gets sacked and (Not So) Cleverly slides into her old seat. Cowardly Cameron, who is not an MP, is resurrected and made Foreign Sec. Meanwhile a whole bus load of juniors walk away thanking Risky for his "calm" leadership. :lol:

If this carries on then by the time this version of parliament is ended just about everyone who wore a blue rosette at the last GE will have been a Minister of some sorts - junior or senior. The barrel has been truly well scraped.

We might as well have an election now, because this is just farcical.

Now then, for 13 years we have been told to stay strong and stable, be steady at the helm and to stick with the plan - though nobody knew what the plan was - yet here we are today, with barely 13 months to go of this parliament, (nice symmetry) being told that changes are needed hence the "forced" reshuffle.

A new government perhaps?

BTW the awarding of a Peerage, Lord or Lady, to a person when they have not been elected to represent anyone, for the sole purpose of bringing them into government, has to be made illegal. It has to end.

Hear, hear! But if Labour wins as expected, gawd help us all. Possibly a military coup might be the best option ......

You missed the bit where the party chair was rousted out of his seat and back into ministerial rank.

Which means there are changes afoot in the party hierarchy.

When, not if, they lose the next election heads are going to roll.

But I've been saying this for some time now.

That didn't take long....

Cruella's letter got the knife sharpening started and that got the hundred or so right-wing MPs fired up.

It is almost as though some Conservatives want the party to implode or should that be split asunder?

They have not used VAR yet.

How many extra minutes for stoppages?
