Well you would think so. But can you trust Labour on the economy? They will probably nationalise everything and tax you up the hilt, whilst forcing back into the eurozone. They will say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be asked a thousand times between now and May why they are backing someone who lied in parliament, broke lockdown rules etc etc. The usual suspects will keep their tongues between his cheeks but I think many will succumb to pressure from their constituents to move him on. Either way, it’ll be fun to watch. I think they have to between now and May because the window to replace him before May and build a campaign is slamming shut. Under their current rules it took two months to get from May's resignation (Late May a few weeks after the local elections) to Johnson's victory in late July Two months from today (if it happened today, which it won't) would leave less than 3 weeks to organise a campaign, produce election material etc. It's just not really possible now, they have to wait.

Wainy316 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I fear these May election results are not going to be as disastrous for them as we might expect. They're already gaining in the polls from this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 In further fantastic and encouraging news which no doubt ties in with Bozo’s ‘levelling up’ charade, I mean campaign. Schools have been issued with guidance on how they should facilitate teaching and discussion of many sensitive topics including the NHS……apparently it’s absolutely okay to put a pictures up thanking the NHS for all their hard work but no discussion on how it’s funded and whether or not more funding is required. You couldn’t make this shit up, and yet, they do and are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2022 They've started localised campaigning on social media this week. Saw one last night which was basically saying 'do you trust Labour to look after Erdington and Kingstanding' while stating the council hasn't invested in Erdington. Which doesn't have much to do with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Nadine Dorries removing the condition applied to Murdochs acquisition of the Times, that he would avoid unduly influencing the Editorial content of said publication. It was considered prudent at the time, as his dominance of the newspaper scene was considered to be corrosive to balanced reporting. No such qualms from this witch apparently.

Yes, think that's right. If they sacked him after May, they'd get a new leader in time for party conference. But I think they might prefer to try to leave as is and do the same thing next year instead. Not confident about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 17, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think if there weren't quite so many jackals circling Boris carcass they'd cart him off early, but there's such a cacophony of c's battling for the job that I think they're seeing Boris as the stopper keeping the madness in the barrel at the moment A rotten, stinking cork he might well be, but I suspect they'd like to have their internal war in private first, then put the winner in place.

Genie Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 If/when Boris does go will he slip away into the night? Or be a noisy prick chirping in from the sidelines (to keep the Poundland Trump theme going a bit longer)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2022 Let me get this straight. Met refuse to investigate. Then the Sue Gray investigation. Just about to finish. Met now decide to investigate. Makes the Sue Gray report pretty much unreadable due to not wanting to bias the investigation. Now there's exceptional circumstances where the accusees can see the evidence against them before they have to testify. The whole thing absolutely stinks.
