Ain’t it funny when someone who’s spent the last 8 years gloating that their side won is now deluded with politics. I’d gloat about it but the truth is no one won over the last 8 years. Well unless you’re a donor to a secretly funded “think” tank or a crony of a Tory MP or Putin.

Not saying I buy into the idea of blaming of any single individual for the Horizon scandal rather the entire system itself, but this is funny nevertheless

It ain’t even working. Yougov poll for the Times has the government polling at 20%, lowest since the Truss debacle. The longer he waits to call a GE the worse it gets.

Plus the extra cost of having another polling day. Richard Tice was saying recently it cost £280K to the public purse to run a by-election. I presume that’s the same cost for each seat in a GE give or take. Just from a cost exercise it doesn’t make sense before you even factor in things like school closures twice in a year for polling day instead of one.

Love the way Sunak claims it’s the will of the people. No one has ever voted on this, it wasn’t proposed until 2022and the last GE was 2019. If he’s so sure it’s the will of the people call a GE and put it in your manifesto.
Also the letters of no confidence are going in again. He doesn’t even have the will of his own party let alone the people.

You'd sort of expect the people who govern our country to be intelligent and knowledgeable would you? It is staggering how stupid quite a lot of them are.

Like, democracy and everything, stupid people in the commons per se isn’t terrible. But they shouldn’t get anywhere near government.
Oof.
That would give the Tories 5 seats, which although not good for democracy would be hilarious let's be honest.

I mean “luckily” there’s a whole chunk of people over 50 who are quite happy with high house prices and low immigration.
But imagine if we restricted voting to working age
There’s no legal limit to working age

Especially when they buy ahead. The prices are lower in January than they were in July when prices usually drop off anyway:

Heard the new cap should be 10% lower in April. About time. If true this should help bring overall inflation down again. To be fair though the prices still look like they’re running well ahead of what they were pre war. Moving in the right direction at least

haha, I’m sure Sunak will try to use it. I don’t think whatever happens or whatever he does now, will move the dial materially though. Election might end up closer than the polls suggest but still think strong Labour majority
