just pointing out its an incredibly easy question to bat away and thats why MPs feel no issue in using the decades of neglect lineYou get hung up on the weirdest thing bud
It’s still highly disingenuous when they’ve been in government since 2011.
Nah... Ive been in here long enough to know that Tony (and gordon) was just a red tory and the last real labour leader in power was presumably Callaghan in the winter of discontent?
aka its politics... yup thats what politicians do
Who's this magnificent response for then, an audience that knows it for the easily recognisable bullshit it is? Not much of a response then, more like you thought you'd been bowled a dolly and managed to hit your own wicket.
His only personal or political conviction is being pro-Boris sitting in the big chair. Can't see him going against his principles.
Limps on like May did, but if this report is damning he will go I think. I don’t think it will be though.
Probably hangs around till the report then is told to to consider his options... at which point Im sure that having put his own life in mortal danger contracting covid whilst working diligently to take this country forward with world beating vaccine programmes to defeat the pandemic... all whilst doing what he was elected for which was to "get brexit done" he might decide its time to spend some extra quality time with his wife and new child...
He'll carry on unless the 1922 Committee intervene. He kept Patel in her job after the bullying case. Only ones who walk/resign are those deemed expendable like Hancock and Stratton.
It's worked since 2010. People never learn.
*Keir opens his bag of policies*
I think he goes when the report comes out. He knows he won't make the next election. Better to go out because of 'silly rules over a party', than for being responsible for thousands of deaths.
You mean people would still vote for him and his government??
There appears to be a large core of Tory voters who would vote for them regardless. I've seen people openly admit nothing would make them vote for another party. It's so dumb.
yes but as that core will vote regardless it wont protect him because as you say they will vote for sunak or truss or gove or patel etc
It is indeed mate
I'm curious as to what they'd say if asked who they'd vote for if Labour and Conservative switched policies with each other.
yes and if it happens soon there will be a huge incentive for them to do just that... but I cant see Gove, Truss, Sunak, Javid and Hunt simply giving up on their ambitions... They probably think if the PM can see out another month or two even and allow the report to come out and covid figures to come down enough then I think some of them will fancy their chances in a leadership battle... Im not sure about patel - think she kinda has her dream job at the moment so she will probably back whoever is going to let her use gunboats on dinghy's

That will be the plan... I could see a May 2023 election as well if whoever the new PM is gets the usual honeymoon period in the polls as I think they have probably learned their lesson from when May didnt call the election soon enough
Bingo.
That could be difficult if its focussed on the Garden Parties
Agreed.
Oh I have no doubt that Cummings is providing lots of the ammo.
Correct.
Rishi is in that photo, just not that cropped version you’re using there
Actually looking at the angle there really is only one place this photo could have come from... 2nd floor no11 Downing Street...
Perhaps Rishi is getting impatient and worried he might actually have to deal with inflation
