Rishi has absolutely lost it, hasn't he?

[noblegiraffe]

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.

I think some trans women have penises. Yes.

And, since we're aiming to be clear, Sunak doesn't care either way. The 'War on woke' is just another soundbite to try to get him some votes from the lowest common denominators in Tunbridge Wells or Ashfield.

RemusLupins....

I think we can all agree some trans women have penises.

My question was does anyone think a woman has a penis.

Cba to get into nit-picking. I just think it would be ridiculous if the Tories won because of silly semantics.

The whole woman/penis thing is ridiculous semantics. It is an important issue but there are bigger things going on in the world.

Tbf he’s only lasted so long as he’s a man and I suspect he knows where the bodies are buried.
he’s an odious little man as is hunt

Rushing needs to buy some votes with some big ol' tax cuts. He needs to save money in the hurry and grease some pockets.

Rishi

Lost it? he never had it in the first place...

The man is useless as PM and only took the job to use it to make himself and his mates even wealthier.

Anyone who votes Tory after that needs to give their head a serious wobble...

They are just gaslighting the country and just laughing at us at this stage for allowing this farce to carry on.

There was no plan for a meat tax but under Johnson and his pal Zac Goldsmith it was certainly mooted. I'm a sheep farmer and raise them on land not suitable for growing anything else. I'm not buying an electric car because I regularly drive over 350 miles. These clueless idiots running the country and in opposition make my blood boil.

Absolutely right! There are also huge issues with labelling EVs as 'zero carbon' - it can be the case that they never pay back the huge carbon footprint of their manufacture. And that is before we even touch upon the issue of the availability of raw materials needed for the battery production (the mining of which has huge social and environmental impacts and actually is not being carried out in sufficient quantity to satisfy policy aspirations).
For anyone interested in the logistics of satisfying the demands of 'net zero', this chap really seems to know his stuff...

He's not the sort of person who is used to being a massive failure

As chancellor he was responsible for more money lost through waste and corruption than any other in history, so he's had some practice.

If I was half as rich as Rishi Sunak I wouldn't want the aggravation. I wonder what he gets out of all this?

A levels obviously didn't do him any good.

He's scrapped policies that were proposals that were never proposals. So clearly reading comprehension and inference were not skills he gained.

And he's scrapped measures for climate change. Measures the U.K. were taking that he's used as a defence for the U.K. in an upcoming ECHR case. So he's scrapped our defence 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yanbu though in seriousness. But he's not looking at a levels like most us do. He only knows and understand independent schooling where they can follow their own curriculum anyway.

Can't forgive him abandoning green targets. Especially now with the catastrophic weather around the world this year.

Does the rest even matter, there’ll be nothing left, in a climate crisis, for our kids.

It's this. Rich folk funnelling money to rich folk and getting a cut later on. Politics is a ponzi scheme now no longer a serious persons game to improve the country.

They'll take us from world leading to third world within 50 years. While we all watch and wait.

You know car chargers ca be plumbed into lampposts right? That's what all the cars round me in C London use

So, according to some posters, this "woman with penis" thing is the only big issue this country is facing at the moment?!!! SERIOUSLY????

Also, let me please remind you that whatever questionable gender identity policies you are objecting to have been developed UNDER THE TORY RULE. They have been in power for the last 13 years. How this seem to escape all the anti-woke crusaders I don't know.

What about all the poor sods who commute by local train and face constant delays due to sharing the track with west coast mainline. It would have been good for them.

Local trains will never be able to improve their service when there is no extra capacity.

Scrapping A levels?

Last time the curriculum was revamped we were promised that they wouldn't bugger about with them again for a while.

How many (normal) exam years have we had since then? 3

Power. He’s a sociopath

"its all part of the plan"

What legally or like the dodgy electricity supply in the bedsit I lived in my late teens ?

That was during covid. IMO MNetters should be excused for the madness during that time.😅

Sunak himself quite clearly said 'proposal' in his speech;
The proposal that we should force you to have seven different bins in your home.
I’ve scrapped it.
The proposal to make you change your diet – and harm British farmers - by taxing meat..

an imaginary 7 bins

Why are the BBC reporting on the 7 bins if they are/were imaginary?

Councils in limbo after seven-bin policy scrapped

in 2021, the government passed a new law that required a consistent set of recyclable waste materials to be collected separately.

Under the proposal, the seven bins would have been for glass, paper and cardboard, metal, plastic, garden waste, food waste and general rubbish.
