To think this, is how the Tories could win?

Sunak is setting out his stall as pro-car:

This could actually swing it for him. People sink vast amounts of time and money into their cars, they're aspirational status symbols. The UK loves it's cars.

Clavinova is still obsessed with Labours total failure during the Suez crisis.

Lol! very true!!! Yes blame Labours Antony Eden for Conservative foreign policy!!!

On the safety of the UK and NATO, the Tories have run down our defences to such an extent, we will soon have an infantry of less than 20,000.

A US General has said that the UK defence forces are no longer a top level fighting force... we really do need to get rid of this Govt before we have nothing left.

I don't know. I am still digesting the admission that having realised laws don't work, the government is scrapping the lot.

However, with typical Tory pedantry, they are doing it alphabetically. Which does mean murder will be legal before Taking WithOut Consent. But thems the way the letters break.

Can you speak English? I can’t understand a single word of that post.

Oh, here we go “At least they know what a woman is” is back. Not good enough Clav.

Sunak can't even manage the Conservative Party, they are dying a death. I've no idea why anyone still believes he can run the country.

Don't worry. All mouth and trousers as they (used to) say. There will be no rebellion.

And making said KGB agents son a Lord?

We've been here before:

Evgeny Lebedev
And in the spirit of transparency here is a text to me from @ Keir Starmer: ‘Congratulations on your elevation to the House of Lords. All best wishes, Keir.’

A new one -

Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London leaving the Evgeny Lebedev Christmas party held at a private residence in North London on December 15, 2017 in London, England.

Oh come now
There is a lot of difference between saying "congratulations" on an event and causing the event to happen.
Are people saying "congratulations" to new parents claiming some responsibility for the conception? Of course not

middlenglander · 30/09/2023 14:20

Yes, I will be voting Tory. They are doing a good job.

Labour has come under fire after snubbing its only MP in Kent during a visit to Medway on the eve of the local elections.
Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner did not extend an invite to Rosie Duffield, the party’s MP for Canterbury, when they visited her county on Wednesday. Ms Duffield has regularly clashed with the party leadership over her gender critical views, accusing it of dismissing concerns over women’s rights as a culture war issue.
She said on Twitter she had “absolutely not” received an invite to either Wednesday’s event or the Labour leader's previous trip to Kent on April 1.

Depends on who you ask.

Penny Mordaunt believes TWAW.

Sec of State for Education, Gillian Keegan believes TWAW and refused to define the word "girl". This may be why she hasn't issued guidance to schools to keep our children and teaching staff safe.
Conservative MP for Brigend, Jamie Wallace believes he is a woman with a penis.
Conservative PM May was the person to put Self ID on the table in the first place.
Conservative MP Crispin Blunt has reported women to their employers and the police for retweeting JKR.

There are others.

I’m more upset by the Telegraph using the word ‘invite’ for ‘invitation’, frankly.

And? I know copy and paste is your specialty but I really need a bit of commentary to go with it. I have absolutely no idea why you tagged me and posted that.

Ironically, if you want good grammar, you wouldn't find it in a paper run by grammar school graduates.

13 years of a Conservative government and all they can come up with is 'knowing what a woman is'

Sunak hasn't the Parliamentary time to change laws on things like parking fines and central Govt doesn't dictate local speed limit policy, let alone how Police enforce... all we'll need is a few child & mum deaths and Sunak will be backing tracking faster than his Helicopter in downward spiral.

Its just hot air to appeal to certain sections of the right wing media.

If they didn't know, how could they correctly victimise them ? Think about it !

It is kind of fundamental though

The whole male to female legal sex via the law is problematic
