Antonini Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 I have an idea on how to get labour into power. Send Angela Rayner to go speak with the king. Have her request that the King dissolve Parliament and order a new General Election so the people have their say. She can do this with her seductive Gobby Northerner twang and they can have her show her To Charles. Easy peasy. Charles dissolves parliament and orders a General Election. Labour Sweeps. Problem solved!
Benjamin Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Boris got one last lie in by saying he had over 100 nominations but still decided to not run. Bye. You won't be missed.
fountain Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 More or less confirmed to be Rishi’s then… He’s obviously the technical best option, but do we really want that? He might be able to save face and make the Tories look better, but there’s no chance he’s going to actually do anything for working class people; he’s a Tory, after all. Nothing is going to significantly change, and change is what we need. It seems like more of a danger that they could regain public support and we will, again, be stuck under their leadership for the foreseeable future.

Gui Blackout Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 The mess wouldn't have been this big if they had just picked Sunak from the beginning. He is so obviously better and more capable than Truss and the fact that they were even considering Boris again over him is insulting.
Zack Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Rishi confirmed to become PM. Penny has dropped out after flopping.
Vermillion Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Boris dropped out to save the Tories for the next elections. Nothing surprises me anymore, so I could picture Rishi flopping in the same amount of time
fountain Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Well. Ok. Let’s see what he says he’s going to do for the people (and then inevitably doesn’t do, or does something that actually makes conditions worse). Wave that magic wand.
Harrier Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 I know he's ultra rich, conservative, and the definition of the elite, so we don't stan. But it is a moment of historical and symbolic significance to have an Indian prime minister. First PoC in general too. There have not been many of those in Europe. Idk if it's just the historian in me but I think it's notable. With the queen's death it feels like a year for decolonial moments

Genius1111 Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Coincidentally, the day that Sunak secured the premiership (24 Oct) is also Diwali, one of the most important festivals of the year for Hindus.
@michael Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 So does anyone think the Tory MPs intentionally sabotaged Truss from the beginning because they didn’t want her? She came in second to Rishi in the parliamentary vote, but she got to be PM because she won the party member vote. It’s like the past seven weeks were all just a plot to get her to leave so that the parliamentary party could get their chosen guy into the job.

Chemist Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 lmaooo. Brexit will be in UK politics for the rest of humanity’s existence. I hope the EU never entertains the idea again
