Is It Time For The So Called Tories In Power To Go?

[youngmafbog]

I am fast becoming of the belief we must oust these people who are masquerading as Conservatives. OK, it might mean 5 years of labour as we are a two party system, but honestly now COB has gone could it really be any worse?

Sunak, I used to be a champion of him, doesn't seem to have a ruddy clue. An insult of 5p, which lets face it will end up in the retailers pocket, no vat on green solar panels - what is the man thinking? And the highest taxes for a long time, yes Sunak I can see through what you are doing.

So I say, time for another Party for five years and lets hope the Tories oust these 'greens' can become a proper Conservative Party again. At present I can see no alternative.

And before the usual start on Covid and the war. Yes it has been tough, but what exactly was the 27Bn spent on track and trace spent on and who has it? Where did all the furlough money go? Where did all the PPE go? It smacks to me Covid is the simple excuse for bad management.

No links plenty in all the press.

//now COB has gone could it really be any worse?//

It could.

The alternative is a sensible PR system.

[youngmafbog]

Yes, but that is not going to happen.

So what I am proposing is short term pain for long term gain.

"And the highest taxes for a long time"

I didn't call all of his statement so which taxes have gone up?

[237SJ]

It won`t make any difference which 'side' is in power. They are all career politicians who don't know how to run 'UK Plc' because they have never worked in the real world and don't know how to balance the books or have any concept of industry and commerce.

Where did all the furlough money go?
Where did all the PPE go?

Where did 27 billion go on track and trace. It went on testing mostly.... essential at the time

What odd questions. It went to people like some I know who would of been/was laid off...kept them afloat?

PPE was worn by doctors, nurses and care home staff and others?

SOme may of been wasted but in an emergency its hard to do things slowly and carefully and better to do to much than to little
.

If 5p on petrol is an insult do you say oh its nothing when prices go up 5p

[bobbinwales]

The alternative is a sensible PR system.
Maybe but its more likely to lead to indicesion- imagine a parliment of 30% labour, 30% tory, 10% Libs, 20% SNP, 10% DUP/Sin Feinn

[ToraToraTora]

well it'll give gulliver hope anyway!

[ToraToraTora]

BOB, PR? Perlease, I'd rather have Labour than that.

[douglas9401]

The first past the post system could still work, we just have to get rid of the present donkey derby and replace it with proper race.

[Mozz71]

Attacking the Tories and no links. Take off your youngmafbog mask Gully, you're fooling no-one.

Well, if there was an election in the offing I’d vote Labour, hopeless tho the cause is in this constituency.
I think Labour now has a much more competent line up now the Corbynites have been out to flight.
The Tories have many good people too. Sadly very few of them are in the government. Tho Liz Truss has risen in my estimation

[ToraToraTora]

ich, you'd vote labour! Can you imagine how they'd be handling the Ukraine Crisis? Putin is their god!

[ToraToraTora]

Agent Cob may be out of power but there are still dozens of anti Semite, pro terrorist loonies in the fold. Do you seriously think Rodders has that under control? You must be out of your Vulcan mind!

[ichkeria]

Hardly Tora!

Yes there still some idiots around but the days when Abbott, Lavery, Burgon et al rules the roost are thankfully gone tho I’d like to see them out of the party altogether.
Even John McDonnell had no time for that

[ichkeria]

Starmer has moved to control selection procedures too so that the likes of Claudia Webbe for example don’t sneak through.

Putin is a neo-fascist so he’d be unlikely to have many sympathisers in Labour.
Ask Corbyn et al if they like him and it course they’ll say “no”. The comfort they give him is in their ridiculous criticism of NATO and the West, which makes them useful idiots for him: supporters by default

[Gromit]

// no vat on green solar panels - what is the man thinking? //

He is thinking we must stop importing Russian oil for electricity generating, and encourage renewable energy by wavering the tax.

[Gromit]

// Putin is their god! //

You don’t half write some claptrap.
The Russians have had an easy time under Cameron, May and Johnson. Londongrad is awash with dirty money, political donations to the Conservatives, even elevating one to the Lords.
These are not lefty communists, they are corrupt capitalists, about as far away from Corbyn as it is possible to get.

[david small]

Concur with 237sj.

[Gromit]

The people who think Putin is god are the US far right commentators. Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, big Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist, has been bending over backwards to support Putin, while courageous journalists die on the battlefield. Shameful.

Tora thinks it is impossible for the Tories to lose the next election. But their record is both very bad, and they come over as being very uncaring.
- Highest taxes since the 1940s
- Worst fall in living standards on record
- Inflation set to hit 9% this year
- Record borrowing.

I can see that new blue wall going back to a red one in 2024.
