Rishi has absolutely lost it, hasn't he?

What with his random shite this week about scrapping a non-existent meat tax and an imaginary 7 bins, actually scrapping his own home insulation workforce that was only set up a few months ago, scrapping any useful bits of HS2 and now scrapping A-levels (which is so far removed from what is actually possible in schools right now that it's not even funny), what the fuck is he on?

He's just flailing around madly scrapping everything in case someone, somewhere might vote Tory over it.

And he was supposed to be the sensible replacement to Liz Truss.

Sadly phase 1 will continue, it has utterly destroyed the Chilterns.

Yes and Middlesex

Absolute waste of space

None of them do unfortunately

Then why do I keep hearing that the Tories do know what a woman is?

Is it like leveling up and has gone the way of hs2?

He strikes me as being the earnest, geeky kid at school who had no idea of what actually went on in the real world. Easy to wind up. By his own admission, he doesn't have any working class friends.

Not that Starmer is any better.

Had to happen

fetchacloth · 24/09/2023 15:02

I think Rishi is out of his depth, and he's realised that he's going to have to up his game to fight off Starmer 🤔
There is an almighty mess to sort out and he's made a good start by putting back petrol and diesel car manufacturing by 5 years.

That was the easy bit though. Far more needs to be done about immigration which has been left to drift and taxpayers are now hemorrhaging 8 million pounds a day to fund hotel accommodation. That just isn't acceptable 😕

noblegiraffe · 24/09/2023 15:03

Remember when he came out with his five priorities that he said would be the focus of his leadership? None of them were evident in the panicked shitspray of fag packet policies he spurted out this week,

I mean, scrap A-levels? Where the fuck did that come from? Didn’t he notice that everyone laughed at him when he said ‘maths compulsory to 18’ a few months ago? And since then a bunch of schools have had to close because they were dangerous?

Starmer is not working class

He's from a working class background.

Is Baccalaureate the new "more Grammar Schools"?

In the interests of factual accuracy I would like to point out that from 1st January 2024 22% of cars that manufactures sell will have to be zero emission rising to 80% in 2030.
So whilst Sunak may have said you can buy a diesel car in 2034, manufacturers may not have any to sell you.

But don't worry Sunak is going to do politics differently with honesty and integrity and 7 different bins to hide in as well as a fridge.

Sunak thinks that scrapping A-levels and greating a British Bac for England will achieve maths until 18 without anyone noticing, because obviously most people aren't as clever as him.

Basically people are still in denial about climate change. Despite temperatures hitting 42 degrees Celsius in our temperate island last year and catastrophic floods everywhere over the world, most people are worried about spending money on a new car in the near future. Human beings are short termist.

TheSnorghAndTheSailor · 24/09/2023 16:36

It's slash and burn all the way to the next election now. They know they have lost so they might.as well make every possible unpopular move that benefits big business/the super rich while they still can. It's vile behaviour.

Does Rishi even know what a woman is?

Well he has a damn sight more idea than Mr. Starmer or Mr. Davey, both of whom think a woman can have a penis.

Anyone agree with them on that?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2023 17:11

Rishi doesn't give a shit if a 'woman' has a penis or not. The only thing he really gives a shit about is his own wealth and he will say anything he thinks enough people might want to hear. If you really think the Tories care about women, then you've been as nicely fooled as Boris Johnson wanted you to be.

43ontherocksporfavor · 24/09/2023 17:13

Rishi has zero integrity.

Are you sure of that?
Is there any evidence of it in his actions?
Presumably he hasn't been part of a government that has consistently eroded womens rights for example?

I thought it a bit rude to fag packets.

Alexandra2001 · 24/09/2023 17:17

Sunak is a bigger liar and more dangerous than any number of Boris Johnsons.

A very unscrupulous man, who should he lose the next GE, will move to the USA, he doesn't give a stuff about the UK.

I'm not defending his record or any Tory record regarding support for women's rights. They have been rubbish. Loads of examples.

All I'm saying is what Sunak says makes me feel (a bit) more comfortable than the biological nonsense Starmer and Davey spout.

True. I mean they didn’t ask to get dragged into this shit show did they?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2023 17:38

@Hurrydash And that's the problem. He's said little to nothing because he thinks little to nothing. At least the others are trying to articulate some kind of a desire for equality and to avoid transphobia. Sunak doesn't give a shit.

So to be clear, you think some women do have a penis?

So how come he is unable to issue the necessary guidelines to schools to keep children and staff safe when he is the PM of a government with a sizable majority? Is it because he doesn't care or because he's really shit and ineffective?Confused
