Thread 18, Big Dog Halloween Edition

Rishi Sunak will now privately address Conservative MPs at 14.30 so journalists here have been asked to leave. I guess the rest of us will eventually hear from him at some point

Thing is, huge deficits need huge amounts of money. If there was a GE tomorrow and Labour won then they’d have to tax exactly the same (more or less) as Sunak is going to have to. Let the Tories become even more unpopular trying to plug the financial hole while Labour (please, please God!) capitalise on the shitshow of the last few years and get ready to win a more timely GE.

Will they get the Number 10 lectern out again?

Be interesting to see where he goes.

Any guesses?
Any indicators?

I don’t know why they don’t just buy it a nice garden furniture cover from B&Q and leave it out.

Lord Howe talking some sense on Sky News right now.

It was all wibbly wobbly when Truss resigned. But the design doesn't help the way it looks.

They do a nice gazebo.

Lord Howell.

Sir Geoffrey Howe now long gone

It needs a beer mat.

Maybe breweries could sponsor it, and the money could pay for the new wallpaper.

I thought he looked different! That Sky woman's diction need to improve.

@AutumnCrow are you my dad? He's well known in my family as fixing anything with beer mats!

I remember Lord Howell back in the day. Still find it shocking seeing these people no longer in their prime. I think of them in my mind as middle aged still.

Bless him. You can entertain children with them as well, flipping them off the edge of tables and catching them. Handy for power cuts.

lol!

My record for that is 5. Merrydown helped with the reflexes. Halcyon days <sigh>

I did 12!! In a pub in Newcastle with witnesses. There were cheers all round! That involved Stella Artois, I recall, but that was way back in the dark ages of my life.

Michael 'the Syrup' Fabricant is on Sky News now. He's always entertaining. His hair has that green fluorescent glow going on.

Rishi Sunak's ghastly surprises lying in wait for Brits as he becomes PM without saying a single word

Has he made a speech yet?

He has only spoken to Tory MPs and ignored the press on his way out.

What a tool !
I'm away at the moment but can follow it on line etc.

Austerity 2.0 here we come

Yep, although it was always going to be austerity wasn't it :(

Yes austerity 2 from a slightly different position from just a few weeks ago.

Nicola Sturgeons tweet.

Ouch!
