Thread 27 - Sunak : the Ship is Sinking, Hold Your Nerve!

994 replies

In the voice of Cpl Jones.

"Don't panic Capt Sunak"

"Hold your nerve"

"They don't like it up em".

Today marks six months since the PM set out his five “promises”, which turned into “pledges”, then became “priorities”.

He asked the public to “judge us on the results.”

Sunak's approval ratings on Con Home have dropped.

Sunakk_ had an approval rating of -2.7 — a significant fall since June when he had a positive rating of 21.6.
However, it is still much above the worst ratings of his predecessors. Boris Johnson’s score fell as low as -33.8, while Theresa May at one stage hit a -50 per cent rating.
The least popular cabinet minister in the latest ratings was Coffey, who had a score of -17.7.

Enjoying the collective bed-wetting on this.

Military personnel should not be using food banks - period. Disagree if you like, but that is true. If you are serving personnel and you are using a food bank because you are 'starving' please do call me and I will come and see you.

He sounds nice.

Clearly a dastardly plot by banks to enforce their own published T&Cs.

He is having a go at Carol Vorderman on twitter, Dorries style.

Sunak really needs to get a grip on his MPs conduct.

I think all hope of party discipline has long since gone - started under Johnson and has only got worse.

And they offered him a NatWest account.

What a plank he is.

Rishi Sunak skipping #PMQs tomorrow for NHS 75th anniv service in Westminster Abbey, and again next week for Nato summit

Hilarious Nigel Farage interview on R4 a few moments ago where he was questioned about his claim that he would have to move abroad, especially the EU.

mibbelucieachwell · 04/07/2023 13:58

Ooh I've just remembered- I got a £200 bonus from Nat West, as an existing customer for switching another current account to Nat West. Maybe Nige could take advantage of that offer if he's feeling the pinch these days what with the cost of living crisis.

I haven’t come across any examples of support for Jenrick, I’m sure it’s depressingly there though.

That snippet of information has disturbed and upset me. all I can think back to is warnings from history, lest we forget. I don’t care about the minimising and ‘Godwins law’ - this shit is being done in all of our names and it’s scratching the surface of things we have no idea about.

It was very funny. He hates challenge, doesn’t he? He got really shirty about not having enough money for Coutts any more.

I will try and post the whole tweets, until Elon decides I have exceeded my rate.

Which ones can't you read?

I totally agree with you. It is an act of dehumanisation.

All of them @DuncinToffee for the last few days. But I don't want to put you to too much bother. Thank you for asking. SmileJust generally speaking the links posters post on here are interesting and enlightening.

Actually, ds has just told me he can help me with the issue.

DuncinToffee · 04/07/2023 15:43

He hasn't read a 3 page report......

Oh my. Asked by @RhonddaBryant whether he thinks the 7 MPs who attacked the Privileges Committee should apologise, Sunak claims he's not read the report!

- "But you asked Zac Goldsmith to apologise."
- "Yes."
- "So, you read the report."
- "Well, not from cover to cover!" ~AA

He looks as if he’s about to cry. And I see he’s borrowed Johnson’s raising morale excuse. They never learn.
