Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

[tobyjugg2]

Yes, but it could save the poops-con party 50 seats

Then after the public reject the poops - the right pours the blame on mordaunt and deposes her for their own crock of cack without needing any election .. again and again

Badenoughs seat is ultra safe isnt it?

[tobyjugg2]

Still

chick chick chick chick chicken .. set a depose date for you  ..

chick chick chick chick chicken .. the nation thinks your poo

So, chick chick chick chick chicken .. we want rid of the poo, flush the right wing too, set a depose date for you  ..

Extreme right-wing terrorism, is driven by a supremacist ideology, which sanctions the use of extreme violence as a response to perceived social injustice and dysfunction. That ideology is a response to and reflects a perception that identity itself is under threat from social change.

People drawn to extreme right-wing terrorism are usually male, poorly educated (although there
are some cases of high-achieving individuals (note: see blue)) and often unemployed. In some cases, previous involvement in criminal activity has been an issue. The internet plays a key role in reinforcing ideology and facilitating activity.

Peer pressure and the prospect of personal benefit are also important

 

In recent years, Islamophobia has increasingly become part of extreme right-wing terrorist
ideology. People have justified their actions as a response to Al Qa’ida-influenced terrorism,
extremist organisations and to alleged threats from Muslim communities. But extreme right-wing
groups and radical Islamist groups such as Al-Muhajiroun increasingly define themselves by their
opposition to each other: that opposition facilitates radicalisation and recruitment

Former Tory chairman Sir Jake Berry has lashed out against Rishi Sunak's operation for making up claims about him to turn MPs against one another.

 

[honeybee13]

According to the Times this morning, Sunak would rather call a GE than be ousted by his own party. It sounds as if his people are trying to put the frighteners on MPs who are worried about their futures if they're voted out.
 

[unclebulgaria67]

If there was a move to replace Sunak, it would not surprise me if Sunak went straight down to see the King to request an election, which would probably be granted.

As I said in a previous comment, there are probably quite a few Tory MP's who don't want to win their seats again and therefore may be delighted If  an election were called in the next few months.

The Tories need at least 10 years in opposition to help them resolve the political direction most in their party are able to support. When a party has so many different factions, it makes it pretty impossible for anyone to lead them as a team, and in opposition they can go through many changes in leader as they want, before they settle on an agreed way forward.

UK watchdogs say they will take action against ‘threatening’ debt collectors .. unless perhaps the Tories win

Joint letter from regulators targets finance and utility sectors for volume and tone of correspondence to vulnerable customers

Just to clarify the above ..

"The watchdogs said they were prepared to use their powers – which can extend to fines – if companies failed to meet expectations. “Where we find firms are falling short and delivering poor outcomes leading to consumer harm, we may take robust action”"

 

So - after 14 years they might be preparing to use the powers that they had all along ....and if they do look ..

and IF the companies are found to falling short and causing consumer harm - they may do something

- uninspiring eh?

 

How about - any companies found causing consumer harm will be fined with significant cases resulting in maximum fines and disbarring of companies and directors ...

Y'know - something that might actually make them think twice.

Migration is arguably going to cost the Tories the most votes ?

The way they have handled migration is very expensive and not effective. Another example below.

https://news.sky.com/story/barges-and-raf-bases-more-expensive-than-hotels-to-house-asylum-seekers-watchdog-13098161

 

 

[honeybee13]

I'm not surprised about the extra costs. I suspect that RAF bases and barges are less visible to communities, when a hotel with asylum seekers in it is much more conspicuous and this might suit the Home Office.

Hotels have been where the trouble has been, from what I've read. It's a shame HMG has had to use hotels or these other forms of accommodation and didn't have other plans. I was going to say it hasn't happened overnight but I think Brexit has had an effect with leaving the Dublin agreement, for a star, and less co-operation from Europe now we aren't in the EU.

One problem that I hope a future Labour government addresses is having hardly any legal routes into the UK for asylum seekers. I think they talked before about having home office officials based abroad, near Calais for example.

1. Interesting that the guv is whining 'we will brook no interference in our policies from un-elected lords - err what about Cummings, Frost, Cameron, at al, let alone repeated coronations of PM without election

2. The UK may be willing to break international law, but Rwanda has said it wont - money for nowt for them .. plus ..

3. Rwanda would NOT be breaching international law by sending their unwanted here as the agreement allows - when are the first ones coming?

4. Cost of this dogwhistle 'policy' will just keep going up and up and up - especially as it seems to be their last hope of a voter dogwhistle before an election - whatever the cost to the Taxpayer and our nations standing in the world

 

Need to remember its likely the 'hotels were at extortionate rates to the taxpayer  - probably via a VIPal lane negotiating a price bump for their mates running boarding hose and hotels that were empty

Now here IS  'fiddling' to make make money from your house and expenses at taxpayer cost eh? 

 

A cabinet minister who has criticised Whitehall waste has claimed tens of thousands of pounds in expenses to rent a London flat despite her husband owning a property a mile away.

"Esther McVey, who was appointed “minister for common sense” last year, has received £39,000 in taxpayers’ money to rent the flat over the last two years. She lives there with her husband, the Tory MP Philip Davies.

The Daily Telegraph, which first reported the story alongside the campaign group Led By Donkeys, said McVey and Davies had been claiming expenses on the property since 2017 and could have received as much as £250,000 from the taxpayer."

So, unless the tories oust Sunak - a high probability of that - and probably even then, at least part of the 'Tory plan is

* Interest rate drop with a 'promise (actuality is less certain) of lower mortgages nearer the GE where it might garner a few votes

* Another couple of percent off NI - which will of course result in even deeper cuts to already trashed services as well as at least a few £billion more added to the tax payers credit card (debt) for Labour to inherit

- salting the Earth is a traditional name for it isnt it?
