I loved his little trembly voice announcing his resignation. I bet his wife was stood next to him saying "man up" what a pii'ock.

Awful voice.

Everyone accepts that the tories were terrible by every measure.

They migrated to Reform, and now you're singing their praises again.

The point is that the white knights who took over are now doing exactly the things they criticised their predecessors for.

Not much "Change" after all.

Another kicking for farage and he'll do what he normally does, he'll start a new party.
I wonder what he'll call the next one? Reborn? Recall? Reveille? Restart?

Kemi Badenoch will be the next leader of Reform.......she would really get the votes!! She is what the country needs. Just not in a Conservative party.

For those that hate the UK, traitorous, treasonous scrounging lying, UK hating Brexiteer Fromage - is a good fit. It's also why Russia backs him.

Burnam faces the huge challenge that the right wing media and politicians have made asylum the central issue in British politics. It’s important but not more important than the economy, the threat from Pootin and his mates, and European integration and investment on defence

Small minded gas-lit Reform types like Tubbs are so obsessed with immigration that they'll vote for an attention seeking, Putin sympathising crook who wants to use the office of government to enrich himself and his paymasters, if he says he will stop it. They won't care if the economy breaks and the national debt reaches 4trillion, as long as the brown people are stopped from entering the country.

I've always wondered what's going on in a Reform types mind to make them think supporting a politician who is backed by Russia is not traitorous.

apart from high taxation and Mandleson, Starmer will disappear into the mists of time without any major accomplishments

Along with the last half dozen PM’s

There are no advantages whatsoever for the Labour Party, or Keir Starmer, in him standing to be re-elected leader.

But there absolutely needs to be a contest, not a handover.

Streeting not challenging for the leadership shows how the whole thing was stage managed. So Andy will be crowned. The first few months are crucial for his image so expect reversing policy on IHT and farming, and NI cuts for business. Plus aggressive toughening of asylum policy

Retreat? Recycle? Residue? Reminisce?

Maybe he could join George Galloway's party?


I still quite like "Repulse".

Double barrel - Repulse and Regurgitate.

Along with the last half dozen PM’s

Oh sorry, lets list out his accomplishments then: winter fuel payment cuts flip flop, VAT on private school fees politics of envy, Employer National Insurance rise, "Two-Tier Keir" policing, Southport riots selective response, Lucy Connolly free speech case, Illegal migration / small boats still coming, Scrapping the Rwanda scheme, Farmers' inheritance tax changes, Benefits and welfare U-turns, attempts to soften Brexit, early release of 1000s of dangerous prisoners, "Island of Strangers" reversal, Chagos surrender deal, Repeated U-turns (did I already mention that?), weakness on supporting USA, failure to stop pro Palestine marches, Attacks on synagogues on his watch, failure to scrap net zero, failure to use north sea oil. Where do we stop?

Recycle.

Very fitting.
