DCJonah Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Well average private sector wages have increased by around 7%. Independent pay review suggests 6% for public sector workers. Jeremy Hunt is saying **** no. Absolute words removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as it is, you couldn't choreograph their downfall over the next 12 months any better. It beats Game of Thrones when the Lannisters got their comeuppance. Non-Brit here, I'm surprised the polls aren't better for the Conservatives tbh, would have thought having someone halfway sane instead of Truss would have stemmed the losses a bit at least.

What's been happening? They haven't got someone near half way sane, none of them are. It's a misconception that this is all down to Truss, they were sliding well before she was put in charge Even the immigration topic appears to be slipping away from them Just to be clear how bad they are, the last time they were this low in the opinion polls was 1994-95 in the build up to the 1997 General election. It took them 15 years to get re-elected. In 1995 they got a bounce when John Major was re-elected leader, it wasn't big enough tosave them, not by a long way. They already tried the new leader bounce trick twice and failed miserably This is what a death spiral looks like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's been happening? Apart from arguably the war in Ukraine, there is literally nothing that people are happy with how they are handling it. I'm surprised they are as polling as well as they are, to be honest. Who are the quarter of people looking at the last thirteen years and thinking "let's have five more years of that"?

What's been happening? On the contrary, I'm terrified that almost 1/3 of the voting public are currently planning to vote for more of the last 13 years. This goes much deeper than Truss. They really do live amongst us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's been happening? You’ve sort of answered your own question there haven’t you. An entire political party reduced to running around shouting ‘stop the small boats’. A PM that has no opinion on nurse’s pay, but plenty to say on cricket and BBC gossip. A man that wanted to be PM, but can’t quite put his finger on why. They’ve lost all credibility as a force that can govern. They just argue over who is best placed to stop the small boats, but have no actual understanding about what they are talking about, what the law is, or what consequences there might be to shouty simplistic solutions. They’ve lost any sense of grown up behaviour, beyond grown up meaning grabbing other people’s tits or screwing money out of them. And they can’t even do that discreetly like the decent politicians of the past. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no requirement for MPs to attend Theres a Tory MP who has been bailed 4 times since May 2022 on charges including rape that has been told not to visit parliament but still does constituency work and has been re selected to stand at the next GE. Nada Compare that to the current Scum story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nada Compare that to the current Scum story I thought Nadine wasn’t doing anything in her constituency either. There was a story a while back about how her “office” were running things in her absence. Maybe she’s getting back involved now (although I doubt it).
