YABU - he's great, I love him
YANBU - only an absolute IDIOT of a PM would have left the D-DAY remembrance early

It’s been so badly played you have to wonder if he’s doing everything he can to lose as badly as he can. It’s a gift to every other party. A jewel of an unforced error. And who the fuck is meant to be advising him?!

Itllfalloff · 07/06/2024 10:12

Personally, I just thought it's typical Tory behaviour - the 'rules' don't apply to him... he thought he had somewhere better to be.
Can't wait to get rid of them all

And I suppose Keir is a brilliant one.
I absolutely love what he has done for this country.

What’s that then?

If you dont know yet, you're never going to.
I shant waste my breath on the labour massive. Because Keir is so utterly wonderful

AnneLovesGilbert · 07/06/2024 10:18

No one is saying Keir is a great politician. It’s possible and true that they’re both a bit rubbish.

SocoBateVira · 07/06/2024 10:40

It was a very stupid thing to do. Shows poor political instincts.

MrsSkylerWhite · 07/06/2024 10:42

You don’t say 🤣

MarthaDunstable · 07/06/2024 10:47

He's not achieved his position based on brilliant political acumen, that's for sure. He's kind of stumbled into the premiership. Amazing that of the last 6 PMs, 4 have been pretty crap at politics.

Citrusandginger · 07/06/2024 10:54

I'm actually starting to feel (very very slightly) sorry for some of the conservative MPs that will lose their jobs due to Sunak's stupidity.

Sunak is to the Conservative Party what Phillip Green was to BHS.

There's only so far privilege can get you it seems, money isn't going to buy you common sense, compassion or skill.

The thread isn't about Starmer.

It's such a ridiculous statement that @Nancy1906 must be utterly deluded or joking.

Reugny · 07/06/2024 11:35

So Sunak hates young people.

And now he's showing he hates very old people.

Oh I doubt if he hates anyone. He's just got very poor judgement and next to no self awareness or common sense.

IWantToBeASleepingCat · 07/06/2024 11:40

He's great.. l love him.
One of the most intelligent PM's we have ever had.

Yeah he's very good at making money for himself.

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. It's not about who he hates, it's about who he loves. Himself.

I just wonder what the hell his advisors are thinking.

Apparently the guy in charge of his campaign is the same one who was in charge of Boris Johnson's 2019 campaign...

Yes, I think he's been set up, someone has deliberately given him bad advice.

"Bigoted woman"

HomelessAngua · 07/06/2024 12:05

So no umbrella, the Titanic visit, leaving France, going to a brewery when you don't drink, asked the Welsh (at said brewery) about the Euros - the gaffs continue. His advisors must work from Braverman, or Boris or Liz Lettuce.
