Sod's Law 447 Posted January 23 That melting block of ice that stood in for Boris Johnson at the 2019 Election debate would probably be a more inspiring choice for leader than anything with a pulse in the current Tory party tbh. Would probably bag them more votes in the next election for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're staring oblivion in the face so it seems any desperate measure is to be considered. Like I said on this thread not that long back, if they go through with this every PMQs for the newbie includes every other party leader opening up their alloted time by pointing out that's three in a row unelected by the people and not so much asking for as demanding an election. The lack of anything innovative in Tory policy tells you all you need to know about their private polling turning up nothing by way of a useful idea of what they could do to convince the public to elect them next time. Tory toast by way of a few blistering by-election defeats, more internal meltdowns and a damning verdict when they finally face the electorate, Sunak's present predicament is little more than a distraction. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prussianblue 1,038 Posted January 23 They seem to truly believe that yet another new leader and being even more rabid about small boats/Rwanda will solve all their woes. Do they not do polling anymore, or is it just a skim of the Daily Mail and Telegraph comments? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted January 24 This is embarrassing even by the Telegraph's standards. Amazing to think it was a relatively reputable paper once Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing to think it was a relatively reputable paper once Aye, that'll be the same YouGov that was co-founded by Nadhim Zahawi and once spiked a poll in 2017 before rejigging it more in favour of the Consersvatives. Indeed desperate times for the Tories, and The Telegraph. Onwards and downwards, then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Father Brown 209 Posted January 24 They’d be better off going into a May/June election with Sunak and sacking him when they lose all their seats instead of throwing yet another unelected PM under the bus. FTPA was repealed so theoretically Sunak can stay a while longer at Buck Pal if he’s feeling the pressure… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted January 24 So, watching the news this morning. Once again it’s an election year and once again it’s how dangerous the world is and global threats etc etc. Straight out the “ we are going to lose an election, better tell the public how scared they should be” playbook. This isn’t going to work, the Tories are the ones responsible for a 40 thousand reduction in our armed forces. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted January 24 All that's missing from this spat is Claudia Winkleman in some natty knitwear and a dark, sombre rendition of an 80s classic.
