Must have Boris advising her, is this the only confirmed communication she’s made?

It’s the one piece of advice he left in the office. When it’s all going to shit, go to Ukraine

Which is why Labour continually trying all out to court Tory voters is a waste of time

After voting for Corbyn in 2017, he’s now gone full circle.
He voted for Boris in 2019 to get Brexit done for his kids and grandkids (which we told him we didn’t want)
Also… he won’t vote Labour because of Romanians stealing his job - (he’s had the same one for 12 years and months from retirement), or that ‘trannies can use ladies toilets’ even though he’s a) not a transsexual b) not a lady c) he’s a fucking hermit and never goes out.

You cannot reason with idiots, or convince them that their supply of news/propaganda is absolutely unhinged.

Pretty much everything my dad told me would happen if Labour got in power in 2019 has since happened...

Trashed economy
High inflation
Obscene wastage of public money
Strikes
Rubbish piling up on the streets

That’s a really fucking long game when you consider that pork markets speech.

Pork markets are down, like every other market.

I'm a BBC man through and through, but normally listen to Radio Bloke (5 Live) or Radio White Middle Aged Bloke (6 music), rather than Radio 4.

Can some of the more erudite and educated amongst us please post a summary of what happens to the sacrificial tory offered up to the Today programme tomorrow please?

 

[Frostie]

Has any PM ever fucked things up so badly so quickly?

She's been in the job 3 weeks and is utterly finished already.

All so predictable.

Speaking of 'mildy lefty lib dems', there's a long think piece that needs to be written about how NIck Clegg enabled this whole fucking shitshow.

I'd do it myself but I need to get to my volunteer shift at the foodbank.

Well John Redwood, amongst the worst of Tory MPs, is currently doing the rounds telling us it's all the Bank of England's fault

Yep, he's to blame for Brexit too.

Anyway, public spending set to be frozen for several *years*.

Arent the trains on strike?

Would have happened a long time ago in plenty of other countries.

But this is a whole other level. Completely fucking the economy and then going into hiding. Something needs to be done, they can't get away with this.

 

[wingy]

Remainers in the city doing it
All those folk getting the tax bonanza's.
Shocking.

RMT is Saturday, Aslef which is the train drivers' union is a different day

No well in fairness I've been busy making sure teachers have voted in the preliminary strike ballot so got to take some time out at some point. The annual union jolly should be monthly if you ask me

Teachers on strike. Interesting how the general public will view that one

I think we'll be viewed much better than the people currently destroying the economy

Time will tell - when’s the big walkout happening?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well the current ballot is preliminary and electronic. If it passes that then there has to be a postal ballot where over half of members vote and only after that can strike days be decided.

Of course the legislation on this isn't in any way prejudiced against the workforce

If the last few days are anything to go by then the general public's view will probably be the exact opposite of yours

Sound the alarm bell



Liz Truss is doing the media rounds tomorrow. I say media rounds. She’s apparently doing 5 x 5 minutes radio interviews with some random local BBC radio programs.

Correction. 8 x 5 minutes interviews with local BBC radio stations.

Public support for teachers striking is pretty split an overwhelming display of public support at 51-49.

Which professions would Britons back going on strike? | YouGov

Brits would sympathise with nurses and doctors, firefighters, and supermarket staff striking, but not barristers, civil servants, or lecturers

Clear majority. Those who are against it just need to get over it.
