Thanks for new thread, I don't have a cat so here's a ca-rro-t tax instead

I posted this on last thread in response to notonthestairs

I have heard so many people from all parties actually say positive things about Sunak and his ability.

Does make you wonder if he'd have been a better PM in a different moment of time within the Tory leadership and party position?

I mean - he chose that time to take it on. And I'm not saying he isn't responsible for many things in the shitshow - I'll never forgive him for Rwanda. Just I wonder sometimes how much we see of the real person and how much we see of the parties puppet.

The one thing I have confidence in with Labour is that Starmer will be the puppet master.

Just woken from 12 hours sleep!

Thank you for the new thread.

Sleeping off all the excitement here.

Checking in! Cat (nose) Tax!

Thank you. Here’s my tax.

Lovely new thread full of optimism thank you.

Furry face also full of optimism. Although it looks very similar to the furry face full of disdain for the old government.

Morning all. I still feel a bit dazed and am doing very little today. Cat tax attached.

Forgot tax

Ds and I catching up with Last Legs election special.

Jess Philips was her usual funny self and slagged Braverman off twice - which makes me love her even more 😂

My hope is what will not happen as no more Tory government. At least one bit seem to have happened, the Rwanda scheme which was an expensive waste and no deterrent is being scrapped.

I bloody cried - again. No more tears now.

No pets, so have a rose pic from my rose garden 🌹

Re: new tory leader; it'll be braverman if it goes to the membership

Still tired, dog duty paid. Thanks for the shiny, hopeful thread.

I’ve woken up feeling happy for the last 2 days. Then l realised why!

I don’t have a cat, but here’s a picture of DS’s cat.

Cuddly cat tax. This time it's Niles looking up at me adoringly.

Thank you for the new thread.

Just 4% of Keir Starmer's Cabinet went to private school compared to 63% in Rishi Sunak's government. 93% were educated at a comprehensive school.

Excellent thread title. Let's carry on discussing politics with respect and enjoyment. I am doing very little this weekend, weather is foul and DS is working so I'm going to be lazy. I offer The Ladyship by way of cat tax.

Thank you for the shiny new thread of hope Duncin & all contributors.
im over myself today, I think all the canvassing & leafleting took more out of me than I realised.
flowers from me

Afternoon all. Thank you for the new thread.

Novara Media, a YouTube channel had an interesting discussion about the results of the election. They're left of labour. Very knowledgeable and analytical.

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee du

Checking in. Great thread title.

Thank you for the new thread, here’s my cat tax. Feeling relaxed as we hand things over to the Government of Service 😻
