Luke Pollard MP  - need to keep an eye on this man:-

But he warned that his party had inherited a dire situation after years of Tory government chaos. He also vowed to work for changes to gun laws following the 2021 Keyham shootings, to ensure nothing like it ever happens again.

This is the article that the quote is from, if anyone else is interested.

Only positive is that he seems less militant than he did a couple of years ago. I still would advise anyone against buying a pump, as this is specifically what he wanted to ban in 2021.

Good luck to you all! I'm not sure what to think of it. I'm naturally right-leaning, but the Conservatives do seem to have made a mess of things.

It reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode where they question the intelligence of the ship’s computer and the reply is:

I am Holly, the ship's computer, with an IQ of 6000 PE teachers.

Our new government has the combined IQ of 170…. a 170 PE teachers of course

I would feel better if I thought they had more intelligence / brain power on hand as well as a budgeted plan.

Ange no GCSEs and David Lammy on Mastermind; tells you everything you need to know.

What's that saying ? "Things can only get worse, before they get better !"

How much better is the big question 🤔

Change is the promise,,,,, yes, things have changed immediately, but downwards we all go ! 🙄

Rubbish or not, at least she's done a job requiring you do a proper days work. I'm sure there's a lot of MPs who couldn't claim the same.

I said in an earlier post that he wanted out and after his MacArthur Park tribute act the writing was on the wall , his cronies sealed it for him trying to get some extra wedge out of the bookies  , 

they knew there was a **** Storm brewing withe all you have quoted  and more besides i.e. the illegal invasion crossing the Chanel ,polluted rivers , the NHS , fuel prices , police not  being able to do their job because when  they do the courts carnt send the criminals to prison because they are full , there's more but as you say they wanted out , let the tool makers son  short it out LOL.

Reform got more votes than the Lib Dems yet only get 4 seats compared to LD 68 - how can this be in a democratic society?

its not thats why we need proportional representation,there is only 1 other country in the world that use our style of voting system.

[Mungler]

Alright. This is something I still don’t get and I throw it out to the floor.

So, working to the distinct possibility of England winning the euros (we were the favourites going in), the weather getting better (because it can’t get worse and so has to) and the BoE cutting interest rates by up to 1/2% by the end of summer (with a min of 1/4% now guaranteed for August), can anyone explain to me why Sunak called an election before all these highly probable if not likely ‘feel good’ events? Wouldn’t a November election have been better, also applying the stat that more Conservatives vote in bad weather than any other party.

I just don’t get why he called for July.

Ideas and answers on a postcard please 😀

One theory that I have read is that, as a number of fixed interest mortgages, set up in the 1% - 2% era were coming to an end and a number of young, potentially Conservative voters were likely to be looking at their mortgages doubling, it would be better to bite the bullet early.

That and potentially catching Farage off guard.

Well, it all worked out OK for him, didn’t it 🤣.
