Yeah, I'm about ready in my advancing middle age to pull up the draw bridge. Eyeing early retirement.
We need more Rees-Moggs and Liz Trusses, etc.

Spoiler alert: Nothing is happening.
Maybe it's Francois and his group of idiots telling Sunak he has one more last chance for real this time, maybe two. Or more. And not telling him to his face, just a strongly worded letter. But not too strong.

We have a fitting idiom over here but it doesn't translate all that well... Literally, it'd be something like "Manolios has changed and put his clothes the other way around", i.e changed except not really  |

"When people were asked who they would prefer as prime minister – Sir Keir or a new, tax-cutting Tory leader with a tougher approach to legal and illegal migration – voters in 322 constituencies in England and Wales preferred a new Tory leader, while Sir Keir came out on top in only 164 seats"
Telegraph article - bullllshit

Gerrymandering is a hell of a cheat, and remember 50% of the population is stupider than the average person... |

It’s not even that, it’s just an absolutely idiotic proposition.
‘Who would you rather have as leader: this guy nobody really likes or a guy we just made up who will somehow magically achieve everything the last five Tory leaders have failed to?’
‘The second guy?’
‘See? Starmer sucks’
The Telegraph is not a serious news outlet. I mean, they are describing Liz Truss, ffs.

Close, but in this case it's less "try to change but can't" and more "try to make others believe they have changed when they haven't" |

I know Ofcom is independent but it is astonishing the extent to which any extended period of “conservative” government sees so many traditional institutions getting absolutely screwed. |

They're not really independent though.
e.g this morning. Small business minister states that if OFCOM recommend getting rid of Saturday mail, the Govt. will not allow it to happen.

Is it anymore tiring than it was 2 years ago? They've just been mental and useless, in the sense the government hasn't done anything, for years now. It's all just "stick it on the bill" call a fucking election right now.
It's all blending into the same emotional place where I can't even be fucked boiling my piss anymore. It's all just taken as read.
Instead of whatever ever anti woke idiotic bollocks is the next thing. I think I'd only wake up and pay attention if they managed to work out and incredibly useful, boring and well managed infrastructure project. Which they obviously never will.

The irony is, that with all of their little factions pulling in different directions, the Conservative Party IS the coalition of chaos that they warned us about at the last election.
