You do realise when you post this stuff it applies WAY more to Johnson (and most of the top ranking Tories) than it does to Starmer.

Life expectancy to drop to below pensionable age by the end of parliament.Marrs just said Dorries might be health secretary
She'd probably start by shutting all hospitals as loads of people die in them so therefore are a big problem.

But Sunak's is that of a twelve year old. Absolutely no clue on stimulating an economy and obssessed with balancing the books even when it'd just make things worse in the longer term.

It already did in CV1 many years ago. 59, so not even close to retirement age. I think Labour was still in office but wouldn't swear to it.
Regardless, successive governments have raised the age for minimum income guarantee (ie: "Pension Credit") from 60 to 66 at the same time as average life expectancy in many areas has fallen.

While in France they are outraged at the suggestion of Macron putting it up to 65.

Expect lots of U turns from the Boris fan club. Having spent months defending the government’s stance on tackling the cost of living and slagging labour for theirs we’ll now see Boris adopting labour’s stance to applause from the same people that have spent the last few months mocking it, while blaming Sunak for the stance they previously defended.Amazing

It’s like the minister roles need no capability or understanding and can be picked up and dropped at will with no consequence
What a crock of shit

Yup. It's like he's sending YTS lads on from the subs bench.
Could happen, especially if Starmer gets a FPN
I’ve always had an issue with this in the best of times, let alone when it appears to come to last man/woman standing getting senior positions ie willing to take job

Part of me kind of admires Boris Johnson's sheer bloody mindedness in hanging on regardless of what's going on around him!
I did think that yesterday. Totally selfish obviously but does not give a shit. I wouldn’t mind so much if he had this cunning plan to better the country but I think we all know other than spraying cash around to try to pick up enough votes in a future election he’s not got much to offer
This quote, if true, sums it up
‘Boris Johnson was asked by an ally if he would quit in the wake of the resignation of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid, his response was emphatic: “F*** that”’

To be honest he fucks everything that moves so it’s not much of an exclusive

More resignations including Will Quince who was sent out to lie for Boris on the media rounds on Monday morning.
More expected later too.
