Speaking of Hancock - instead of using the opportunity to put someone impressive into his seat now that he is standing down, the Tories have selected Nick Timothy, the hapless joint Chief of Staff of Theresa May who orchestrated the disastrous election
It’s like they want to lose
Have you only just realised this? 
The Tories will lose the next election.
Labour will not be able to fix all the ill’s the Tories have inflicted on the populace in the last 15 odd years.
Tories will then start to blame everything on the Labour party for not fixing all the issues. They will then get elected with an overwhelming majority in the next but one election for another 15 years of stealing from the public purse and giving contracts to their cronies.

Agree with all of that. With the proviso that sadly, under the current leadership Labour will not even try and fix all the ills the Tories have inflicted on the populace in the last 15 odd years. In many instances they will double down on these ills.

It will be interesting to see how much they lose by and what is left of the Party. They risk being decimated and if they are, they could struggle to find some cohesion to form any sort of opposition for some time.
They’ll still be cunts, mind!!

They said that before the Blair years. Never underestimate Labour’s capacity to fuck it all up.

Labour stayed in for 3 terms though and the Tories were pissing in the wind with Hague, IBS and Howard. It took a shitehouse bullingdon club pig botherer to re-establish the true identity of the Tory Party.

Indeed. But look at the damage they did to their own party in those terms, Blair’s name is still utterly toxic even today. They only got the third term because Brown was viewed as detached from the Iraq fiasco.
Well, yeah, but they still got 3 terms and were elected for the first time in 20 years. Modern politics isn’t a long term career option.

It’s profoundly depressing that the only way Labour has gained power since Wilson, Callaghan et al was to wait for the tories to implode then position themselves as more palatable tories than the actual tories. Blair did it, and the appalling Starmer is aping the method. It’s even more depressing that in 2019, factions led by Starmer prevented a genuine alternative that might have transformed UK politics.

Didn’t everyone think Bliar and his lot was going to do that?
I feel these days there are few proper socialists in the UK, just Tory-lite Labour voters, with a tiny social conscience. They’d be better off voting Lib Dem.

From the London Economic.
Sunak’s family firm signed a billion dollar deal with BP before the PM opened new North Sea licences:
A firm founded by Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion dollar deal with BP just two months before the Prime Minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extractions in the North Sea.
The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.
Why on earth do we put up with blatant corruption like this in the UK?
In France ex President Sarkozy is under house arrest while waiting for an appeal against a 3 year sentence for overspending on his campaign and attempted bribery. His Prime Minister, Francois Fillon sentenced to 5 years, 3 of them suspended for paying his wife Penelope for work she never did as a parliamentary aide. His wife received a 3 year sentence. Over here this goes on all the time. We have Nadine Dorries drawing her parliamentary salary despite the fact she hasn’t been near parliament for a year. Likewise both of her daughters, who are employed as her aides on 40 grand a year, courtesy of the taxpayer. Disgraceful!
Sunak is openly filling his boots and those of his family in any way and as quickly as he can, he knows he only has a year left before he is out. He is corruption personified and should be in prison.

If only you had a Benevolent Dictatorship.
Sigh…
Tbh in this scenario we know about tge software firm. The new licences are a different kevel of money and its probale the IT co has tge right credentials and history for tge project…
The money is being made somewhere else chase that
Private Eye no doubt will be on this too. Watch out for further shenanigans by the Prime Miniature and his “chums” before the next election.
