PM

Jacob Rees Moggo saying that he no longer believes Rishi Sunak is a socialist in a desperate attempt to stay in the cabinet. All these tory whoppers have absolute bonkers, paranoid ideas of what qualifies as socialism verging on Donald Trump saying that Sleepy Joe is a leftist commie member of ANTIFA.

With an horrendous winter ahead of us, I wouldn't rule out Tory MP's scrambling about to appease their electorate - knowing full well that even with two years of sitting pretty to go, they could well be sitting ducks ahead of 2025.

There's so much for him, or whoever came in, to fall over on.  As above, he'll get a little bit of time and room but not a lot.  His initial speech was poor, harping on about previous 'success' rather than focusing on what he's going to do.  Paying tribute to both Truss and Johnson will grate on people.  He asked to be judged on actions rather than words, yet offered nothing as to what he's going to do.   Instead it's easier to say we're still struggling from Covid, Putin's war etc. etc.  

He's got to get the economy back on something that resembles a steady ground again.  Most likely he'll introduce tax cuts, further ones.  That'll go down like a lead balloon, more so when he introduces tax cuts for his mates in the city.  

He'll have to cut public spending, at a time when public services need more investment and support than ever.  He's facing a revolting NHS at a time when he'll have to cut their funding to meet his economic goals.  That's not going to work favourably for him.

Prices are going up and up across the board, with no indication of slowing down.  It's still mild weather wise and most people haven't quite felt the impact of energy price increases.  Within a month the mercury drops and people put the heating on, soon switching it off when they realise how much extra it costs.  There will be a kick in point and a realisation for a lot of people of how horrible it's going to get, at the minute the vast majority of people aren't experiencing it - we're almost sleepwalking into it.  The moment that happens, the backlash happens.  

If nothing else, the last few months have highlighted just how fickle these Tory MP's are in who they back, don't support or just stab in the back.  They'll happily throw anyone under the bus to suit their own needs.  

Completely agree on the timing.  He's absolutely 2022's version of May.  But who's the Boris Johnson waiting in the wings to save the day having stirred the pot?  Shapps?  Hunt?  Johnson, again?  

If the Chancellor crashes the pound next week, Sunak will be fed to the wolves.

In the words of Rocky Balboa - 'it ain't over till it's over'..... we still have the whole saga of how much tax Sunak and his missus may or may not have allegedly avoided/evaded over the years and the truth of their offshore wealth, and what fingers they have in which pies via that wealth.   if you've got his kind of personal fortune why would you want to be PM of the current excrement show?  genuine care for the UK?  Ego? Vanity? or so you can turn several hundred million into several billion by enforcing policies that facilitate that?  I couldn't possibly comment personally.

I've been expecting an expose/leak on Sunak to appear for ages, I thought it would come in the first tory leadership race but evidently not.  I'm guessing we'll have a few weeks of stability and then it'll come out before christmas, I mean which paper won't want to run the title 'new year, new pm?'  or it's being kept dry for just before the next general election maybe.

He's on record saying he wouldn't serve in a Sunak cabinet, and that it's unlikely Sunak would ask him anyway.

Bet he changes his mind if asked, the odious fooker.

Dominic Raab back as deputy PM and justice secretary.

Another MP who is as thick as mince and keeps getting plum jobs.

Aaand, so it begins.

Braverman in as Home Secretary, just days after she was forced to resign for ineptly breaking the ministerial code.

Whatever happened to integrity, eh Rishi?

It really didn't take long for the next shitshow to commence, did it?

It's like the managerial merry go round in football.

Are there no other MP's other than the same 20 odd who keep turning up in different departments?

The Govester is back, yet again.

More lives than a cat.

Gavin Williamson has dirt on Sunak as well then.
