Rishi is PM - coronation, unelected -GE Now

[MrsRobinsonsHandprints]

This is not democracy.

I am happy that the Tory party have remained so they have to clear up their horrendous mess. I am not necessarily convinced that they will do this but we have had no properly functioning government for months now while the country is facing multiple crises. We literally cannot afford the distraction of a GE right now. I want ministers to concentrate of the cost of living, NHS, winter energy crisis etc not campaigning to be re-elected. The country needs to have a period of stability to get through a really difficult period.

Rishy is PM. For the next two years at the very least.

Hardly. He's taken over the leadership of an incredibly divided party who are polling appallingly and who haven't actually managed to unite behind a PM in office for any sustained period since the late 80s: the coalition period is different because the right of the party were unable to throw their weight around due to the presence of the Lib Dems. It simply isn't the case that he's definitely going to be able to stay in office until the next GE. Things are very, very much up in the air.

Yes, I am not in the UK, but that is basically my point. Why would I pay tax twice, or anyone else? It doesn't make sense.

What a load of overly emotive rhetoric. The very elderly can die of all sorts even a simple urine infection or drink going into their lungs. They do die of pneumonia and flu. Many would have died anyway of one of these things relatively quickly even without COVID because they are very elderly so struggle to fight off infections.

It might not be nice but that's the truth.

English is not my first language is that an issue for you?

And this is why we had Brexit 🙄

It didn't though (I am not a labour supporter) Truss being elected is similar to the Blair/Brown handover.

This is removed again. Truss did what she said she would do when she was elected, that is democracy, elect someone to do what they say. The moment she was removed democracy failed.

The average age of death for COVID was 83 , higher than the average life expectancy in total . We fucked up the entire economy for that.

The economy was already in the pan thanks to Brexit. Covid only meant that the unleashing of the free market ideology that the markets responded so badly to got delayed.

This 10000 percent.

Have been a tory all my life. I’ve never cited labour or for anyone else.

It’s time for a change.

GE Now.

I won’t vote but Tories need to be ousted.

Who committed fraud? The good British people. That's who.

Well I'm remain but the whole of the west's economy is battling inflation and troubles. It also harks back to 2008 and using QE to never let the market naturally correct.

Found the racist

I think that's a bad decision, but I am not willing to think it's always an anti-minority thing.

There were people who had similar feelings about Boris having ties to the US.

There are people on this thread who I think were actually Labour supporters who feel that having a wife who is a nom dom he essentially has no real skin in the game in the UK. That is, doesn't really see himself as British, so much as an Indian, or maybe an internationalist.

It can often be questioned when an important political figure has close ties with another country, financial or otherwise.

What about the millions of people with long covid? The increased risk of cardio vascular disease (heart attacks, strokes and diabetes) that present across every single age profile and health profile of the population after a covid infection?

It’s not just a killer of old people. Fucks sake.

Hi @Badbadbunny

Would you happen to have a link to that as I've heard it mentioned a few times recently but it escaped me at the time (I put a self-imposed ban on all news during covid as it was destroying my sanity). I'd like to read a bit about that to see what justification he gave and who was affected. Thank you.

Couldn’t agree more!!

I'm pretty sure that he was Chancellor for a few years there? A little more than 5 minutes.

BoJo fans constantly parrot the “he got all the big calls correct” regarding COVID…surely as PM he could have sacked his Chancellor if he hadn’t supported the furlough scheme?

She reminds me of a 1960s air hostess. Quite sweet really. For a barking mad Tory.

Oh, I'll bet the people in medical recruitment haven't thought of that! That could change everything!

I agree with a period of stability. If Rishi can't do it then a vote of no confidence would trigger a GE.
BTW Keir Starmer is reputed to be worth about £7m ( NB I am not his accountant - this is from just reading stuff so may be entirely inaccurate ) - but if true or even half true is he any more capable of understanding people not being able to turn the heating on etc.

I would like ( and have said above have voted both Labour and Tory ) a time of stability & if Rishi cannot do it then either vote of no confidence or we will get a GE in time.

Just note that bankruptcy risk for the UK has fallen below that of France as Rishi Sunak restores the Government’s financial credibility, and markets radically reprice the political risk premium of this country.

Not while Putin is running amok. I'd like to see that settle down. A cold winter should bring about a shift in attitude

Who is Subaru? The car manufacturer?
