Maybe he has second sight.

Stranger things, etc.

[Hopkirk]

He's done it before hasn't he?

Perhaps he has Joe Biden's problem.

You have become the new Gulliver. 

Enjoy 😄

[ToraToraTora]

No I can post a link me old china and I answer follow ups and debate. I can back up my views. Gulliver is incapable of any of those.

[tomus42]

OK, that's all true. I apologise. I was just getting a bit worried about your constant ranting about the current government.

It's similar.

This thread is about the Prime Minister, not Gulliver, so stick to the topic.

Ooh dear. (Tomus clutches handbag to chest).

[Old_Geezer]

Just force of habit.

 

(But it might explain why his party is making so many unwise decisions, too used to their choices not having any major effect on the nation; apart from blocking legislation.)

With the mess S2TS is making he probably wished Sunak was still PM.

Still, I somehow suspect he wont be for long, the unions barons and far left will soon shift him then we have the uneducated Raynor!!

[bednobs]

in what way is she uneducated ymb?

[ToraToraTora]

Well to use the words of Jim Hacker, she needs a comprehensive education to make up for her comprehensive education!

[ToraToraTora]

Credit where it's due though, she left school at 16 up the duff, she ain't done bad.

agree

Imposter syndrome is where you say, " I am not up to the job" and then you get treatment and say " damn it, I am!"

I like the pre-tmt stage - as the post stage involves swearing at your detractors qho did you down, cursing the world, threatening damnation damnation..... 

The pre- phase for Jocelyn Bell Burnett, ( quasars 1867) was " I havent had a bad career from the girl who  should have got the  Nobel Prize". Post treatment, Joss is more excoriating

Angela Rayner - funny I was thinking of her too. Little Beeb fluffy sniggered during an interview R4 0700, later cut

dropped 't's n all - but can she run a department?

it seems obvious that the finely educated civil servants on the regulators - may not be able to.

Times today - David Owen was hailed as a Grand Old Man. At the time Foreign Secretary ( youngst since Eden 1938) he was credited with almost wrecking the foreign office. "Nicko" Henderson wrote a leaving-memo saying there was little point in preparing advice for Owen, he would ignore it
