I assume you are unfamiliar with Sun's oeuvre then?Little wonder we're stuck in a perpetual spiral of Tory doom, death and destruction with people thinking shit like that. Feels endless and it's depressing as feck. fecking using shite like 'Jezbelloh'. It's a disgrace.
Yeah… let’s see how that turns out.Starmer trying desperately hard not to burst out laughing at PMQs, can't believe his luck he's got Truss across the house for next two years.
This is massive open goal for Labour now, let's hope they hit the target this time.
Of course not, I'd expect (/want) United fans on a United subforum for politics to know better, though!I assume you are unfamiliar with Sun's oeuvre then?
Labour have had open goals for the past 7 years at least. Trouble is every time they are through on goal they run back down the other end and put the ball in their own net.Starmer trying desperately hard not to burst out laughing at PMQs, can't believe his luck he's got Truss across the house for next two years.

Im very critical of Starmer for a number of reasons but one thing he’s excellent at it cross examination as per his background. He’s forensic and tied Johnson in knots a number of times. His main problem though is that he’s just not very good at getting snappy one liners in or making the jabs land and resonate. So his meticulous taking down of his opposite number is great if you enjoy long form politics and enjoy watching it unfold and understand what is actually going on but it’s also then forgotten when BBC turns over from PMQs because then show a “balanced” version of events which is one win for Starmer and one win for his opposite number. Obviously this isn’t balanced at all if Starmer has twenty significant “wins” and his opponent just the one.Starmer trying desperately hard not to burst out laughing at PMQs, can't believe his luck he's got Truss across the house for next two years.

Advantage Johnson has over Truss in that scenario is the soundbites like "captain hindsight" are lapped up by right wing media. I don't see Truss consistantly capable of putting out those lines especially with the economic situation we're going into. Mind you I did chuckle about her North London jibe at Labour.Im very critical of Starmer for a number of reasons but one thing he’s excellent at it cross examination as per his background.

Jibes like captain hindsight aren’t off the cuff remarks that just so happen to land, they’re carefully planned by their advisors and script writers and crowbarred into their responses. The right wing media are in cahoots with Johnson’s team and the drilling home of soundbites like that is a pincer action repetition by both the traditional media and the many bot networks that are a cancer to social media.Advantage Johnson has over Truss in that scenario is the soundbites like "captain hindsight" are lapped up by right wing media.

We're pretty much in 2008/09 terrority now. Economic climate plummeting, one party in number 10 for over a decade and general fatigue so Labour is much nearer getting into power than any point under Corbyn even if they're going to need some support but that's nothing new.

Truss has already made mistakes, but this could prove crucial.Only difference from that PMQs is Truss seems to be an open believer in trickle down economics whereas Johnson had that as his governing philosophy but disguised it under vague populist soundbites. He was also against a windfall tax when it was raised at PMQs months ago but quickly moved on without explaining whereas Truss defended her opposition to it as putting off investment even as the companies make record profits.
Deplorable Basket CasesThis Cabinet looks like Clinton's 'Basket of Deplorables'.
The word balanced is the issue the BBC have. It's written in the charter that they have to be balanced and show both sides to have an equal argument. The word should have read impartial as they then could just tell the news as it is, rather than be forced to make everything seem equal.Im very critical of Starmer for a number of reasons but one thing he’s excellent at it cross examination as per his background.

media is largely to blame, given the fact most voters can barely manage any critical thought and just react to whatever the press deliversWhy are you brits so shit at getting a half decent government? Was Gordon Brown and Labour really that fecking bad that you are going into your 13th year of Tory led bullshit?
they were in office when the crash happened. it was the gop in america. whoever was in office at that time, by and large, got the blame for it in their host country. the irony is that they all deserved some of the blame but that the opposition party is just as terrible. truthfully, most democracies now offer very little choice between the parties that can *realistically* be elected. there is some, a country like france is better than britain or america for example, but overall the picture is bleak and that's a feature of democracy, or has been for the past four decades.Why are you brits so shit at getting a half decent government?

give it a couple of weeks and a bit of trouble with the EU over the NI protocal / scrapping the brexit deal and she might manage to sink it under $1Truss managed to sink the pound on her first day to its lowest level ever against the US Dollar, apart from the 10 week period at the beginning of 1985. Go Liz!
Are you a mental gymnast?the idiots who voted in jezbollah as leader are what lead us to truss (johnson and may)
The Tories find the most extreme ethnic minority minister they can. In the most extreme 0.1% if views, totally unrepresentative of actual ethnic minorites. Then they claim to offer representation.Tweet

Blair illegal wars lost alot of votes after Brown. The right wing media don't help.Why are you brits so shit at getting a half decent government? Was Gordon Brown and Labour really that fecking bad that you are going into your 13th year of Tory led bullshit?
FPTP. It has created a two party system where loons can hijack one of the two of those parties and attain near absolute power with 25% of the UK voting for them.Why are you brits so shit at getting a half decent government?

Thatcher 2.0.Truss managed to sink the pound on her first day to its lowest level ever against the US Dollar, apart from the 10 week period at the beginning of 1985. Go Liz!
Yes. Except that when she gets a bit wound up, the fake Thatcher imitation voice deserts her and returns to pork market levels.Thatcher 2.0.
