The Times view of Rishi Sunak - seems like a fair summary

It fits with my understanding of the situation.https://www.thetimes.com/comment/the-times-view/ar...
It would be beyond anyone, not just him. There is no way he could sort it in two years, and there's no way that the public would give the Tories any more time. The analogy of the builders and the never-finished kitchen is spot on. It doesn't matter if the latest guy is Michaelangelo, too much damage had already been done.

Fortunately it seems we are about to employ Bob the Builder to sort out the Sistine Chapel so we can all sleep well tomorrow night.
Definitely enjoying the stream of hand wringing dire predictions. Very interested in the minds that ignore billions spunked on tasty contracts for mates, peerages sprayed about like confetti, endless failure in service delivery, the north shafted time & again, free wallpaper, partying through lockdown, lying to parliament, lying to the Queen, a conveyor belt of PM's, the highest taxes since the war & still finds the time to weep about the future.You all seem very normal.

t, as well as also think Labour are going to be utterly useless and pretty much solely make things worse.The D:Ream catchphrase is snappy, but not actually true.
How far we have fallen when the right depend on delirious predictions of the future to express how much they would rather stick with wholesale corruption & looting. This place is packed with unrepresentative one eyed right wngers lacking in perspective, which will make Friday all the more enjoyable. The annhiliation is coming for the Tories & it's nothing more than they deserve for the past fourteen years of calamituous mismanagement.

The BJ effect ? There are still quite a few buffoon lovers for some insane reason. Then there are some that swallow the fear mongering which the Tories have ramped up this week.
Can't see Sunak welcoming Johnson's intervention last night. It will just add fuel to the fire of those wanting the Tories out....!768 said:

Is this your first election?Funny how when you look at that from the reverse perspective, very few of you original thinkers were issuing urgent warnings about Cameron based on Major's limping s
tshow. And yet, here you all are now.President Merkin said:

Starmer is about to enter the s
tshow and he hardly moves at the best of times, a limp would get him more airtime so he could pip Farage in the voter recognition stakes (F88/S87) rather than vice versa.https://forums-images.pistonheads.com/18454/202407...

Because Labour have never been involved in peerage scandals, plundering pensions, committing acts of war and trashing employment and taxes whilst in office.
Hilarious.

With FPTP, it’s a choice between Tories and labour. That’s it. So do you want a continuation of the s
tshow we’ve been living through for the past 14 years or a chance of something new?blueg33 said:
Recent behaviour is probably a better indicator than behaviour 20 years ago. How has the recent government behaved?
You mean like the selection scandal, the 200K paid to the Welsh Labour leader...not bad for an opposition party who have had to deliver nothing. You do understand the difference between the timeline of Labour scandals...and Labour being in power. If you use those maths you learnt at school you might just find the answer you seek 
The point being Labour as a rancid as the current lot, and have the hidden loons ready and waiting to topple Starmer. That's if they haven't bankrupted us by the end of the first month.
Carlo is the genesis troll. The sourdough starter from which all other trolls are grown. Giving him the attention he craves is an error. And like all trolls, he's permanently unreasoned.

Are you about to make some novel point about previous governments?

FPTP doesn't stop voting for an alternative, it just denies it power until there's sufficient support. If people view that delayed transfer of power until after sufficient votes have accrued as a reason not to switch their votes, then there will never be any real chance of something new.With FPTP, it’s a choice between Tories and labour.
