Just gets worse

Labour have just had a lesson from the electorate that trying to push the sleaze didn’t resonate- why is Rayner persisting? What’s that definition of insanity?

There was a poll in the papers that has Boris on a 122 seat majority if an election happened right now

Maybe should do her new day job and get write some policies that might appeal.

Not sure what point you’re making when I was querying Patel’s behavior :man_shrugging:t3:

Whether Patel has done something wrong or not remains to be seen, however Labour have been pushing the sleaze angle for ages and got nowhere with it. The BBC tried to get stick into Dyson and were made to look complete mugs. If Rayner goes for this and it turns out there is nothing doing, Labour are going to look stupid

As @pap gleefully pointed out I know nothing about politics (& generally choose not to) - I’m more interested in sharing item that show where our elected representatives are probably being corrupt and sleazy- seems the Tories are genetically predisposed to it :roll_eyes:

Sometimes, events or the general political climate mean that people just don’t fucking care about such things. I remember some yank interviewed during Clinton’s presidency saying “I wouldn’t trust him with my sister, but I trust him to run the economy.”

Well, we know PP has done something wrong, she is an utter cunt.

The problem is the general British public are too stupid and lazy to care.

Cherts, you’ve nailed it.

Our little message board isn’t going to change a thing regardless.

A good stress reliever/increaser depending on why you post here :wink:

Fair enough but do you really think the economy is in good hands (regardless of the fact Labour are shite) ?

Not particularly. But tbh, after a year of finalising the brexit process and tackling a global pandemic, I don’t think many voters are having sleepless nights over who paid for Johnson’s wallpaper.

I’ll take the @pap amendment- I know nothing.

I’d suggest the majority of the electorate don’t really think about the impact of their vote - until it’s too late, and then are too “proud” to admit they may have been wrong (see first line of this post)

Well, the people who voted Johnson in to “get brexit done” are probably happy with their decision. I don’t suppose they’re particularly bothered about the whiff of sleaze that follows most tory politicians around like a determined groupie.

Fair point, well made. Shame things are like they are these days, eh?

Tbh, I voted for Blair the first time round and was appalled that I’d done so by the time he was crowbarred out of the hot seat. But there honestly wasn’t an option at the time, the tories were a busted flush who were too busy dealing permanently with each daily new catastrophe of their own making to actually do any governing, and the liberals weren’t taken seriously by anyone, not even themselves.

The Indian variant is threatening the loosening of restrictions. Apparently it is ripping through the unvaccinated and particularly those who refused it

I am not going to be particularly impressed if we get shafted by the anti vaxxers - I may move into the fuck them camp

Yep the government today again denying the undeniable
"No we weren’t too slow to ban flights from India because the India variant hadn’t been declared a “Variant of Concern” :lou_facepalm_2:
Anyone with eyes and ears were watching this car crash develop weeks before they announced they were going to put India flights on the red list
in a week’s time. :rage:

Hancock on BBC

“ He says the Indian variant is more transmissible and likely to become “dominant” in the UK but he is “confident” the jab works against it”

Going by his track record I have great difficulty believing anything this man has to say.
