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

[tobyjugg2]

Aiming for a looong punch line

"latest surveys have transfixed frightened Tories for three main reasons.

First, because they use unusually large sample sizes and MRP, the snappy acronym for a technique called multilevel regression and post-stratification, to translate the data into a projection of the composition of the next parliament were the country voting tomorrow.

Second, the MRP method has had a decent predictive record over recent elections.

And third, MRP aims to forecast outcomes seat by seat. It is scary for Tory MPs that their party languishes so far behind in the headline polls; it is even more terrifying to be told that they are individually fated to be felled.

 

The YouGov projection, published last week, has the Tories plunging to just 155 MPs, Labour surging to more than 400, and Sir Keir Starmer enthroned at Number 10 on a Tony Blair-like 154-seat majority.

The Survation analysis, commissioned by Best for Britain and published over the Easter weekend, was even more of a bed-wetter for Tories. It projected that they would be crushed to fewer than 100 MPs while Labour would have 468 in the next parliament, resulting in an enormous 286-seat majority."

There’s a consolation that the prime minister"  ...

Ah .. is that why they claim Rwanda is now safer than it was  .. Some of the (alleged) monsters got asylum here?

err .. or :  "British High Court judges have so far refused Rwanda’s extradition pleas over fears the men would not face a fair trial in their home country"

What strange 'standards' appear to be in place here?

"Rishi Sunak has denied he is eyeing his next job heading up an investment fund to develop artificial intelligence amid ongoing speculation that he is preparing for life after the election.

Reports over the weekend claimed the Prime Minister was involved in plans to set up a venture capital fund in AI, potentially in the US, once he has left Parliament."

David Lammy dares to read out a genuine breaking news headline to the ire of GBNews MP-presenters and staff - who allegedly complain multiple times each

 

Just waiting for some cretin to whine about Lammy daring to read out an actual  breaking news headline on his show, instead of spouting unchallenged and unbalanced (sic) right wing propaganda .. as GBNews does day after day after day.

It seems the 57 GBNews supporters and presenters complained to ofcom at his utter gall

 

"During that broadcast, Mr Lammy read out a breaking news bulletin, informing listeners of his LBC show that Sir Jeffrey Donaldson had resigned as DUP leader after being charged with allegations of a historical nature.

Ofcom is understood to be investigating the programme in relation to two sections of the Broadcasting Code, which state that news in whatever form must be presented with due impartiality, and that politicians cannot act as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes without exceptional editorial justification."

GBNews was rumoured to have claimed that their copy-write was breached.

BBC panelist shares scathing criticism

He was also scathing in regards to the knighthood dished out to Mohamed Mansour over Easter. The Egyptian businessman gave a £5 million donation to the Tories ahead of receiving his honour – prompting Hislop to call for legal action to be taken.

“This is specifically not allowed. Mr. Mansour used to be a Cabinet Minister in Egypy, he has given the Tories a huge amount of money, and immediately gets a knighthood. That seems straightforwardly corrupt.

Shouldn’t they both be in jail?”

I've just clicked on the claim

Sunack might get refuges on a plane and 'off the ground'

but hes not claiming he will get any to Rwanda - unless its there and straight back  .. especially as Rwanda has already sold most the homes built on British taxpayer money as advertised by swella Realtor-man

 

Anyway, talking of expenses for houses - bet this hasn't changed .. any for the better at least

At least 15 MPs are each letting out a London home for more than £10,000 a year while renting another property on expenses, the BBC has found.
