Watching Rishi Sunak, a man entirely insulated from any and all consequences of Brexit, due to his own personal wealth not to mention that of his literal billionaire of a father-in-law, talk about how 'proud' he was to campaign for leave and vote for Brexit and how he has always stuck to his 'principles' genuinely makes me feel nauseous.
The fucking damage these sociopathic cunts have done and continue to do is physically sickening.

Of course he was proud. He was proud of his ability to dupe a substantial amount of the population into actively making their day to day lives worse off and get them to believe it's a fantastic idea. I think I'd be exceptionally proud of that if I was a latent psychopath.

The only way for the conservatives to get voted out is by him staying for too long and people to get bored of him. Incompetence doesn’t seem to be an issue but appear in the papers and on the TV for too long and the public will want someone else.
If they change to someone like Sunak then that’s at least another election they’ll win by miles, unless Labour suddenly become amazing at PR (they won’t).

Boris banging on about creating highly skilled, highly paid jobs - we don't need that, we have a surplus of low skilled jobs that need filling. Well not low skilled, but not jobs that UK people want to do... Quick correction: Jobs that UK people don't want to do for the rates that are being offered. |

Yup re: Sunak. You do feel Gove’s window has probably now passed. I can see their next leadership election being Sunak, Patel and Raab as the front runners, with an unlikely Dowden, Schapps, or Kwarteng bowing out early.
That’s a cheery thought, eh guys? EH!?

And by 'their next leadership election' you inevitably mean 'the next PM'  |

Given the different priorities of the different parties it seems highly counterintuitive that our only female and minority PMs have all been Tories and its highly likely that they’ll be providing us with our next PM who will mostly like be one, other or both.
Meanwhile in the Labour Party a female leadership candidate has never even placed above a man.

I bet it ends up being Patel. Can't think of a more horrible person, so of course it has to happen...

They vow to be "real opposition to the feeble tory government". I'm sure Boris is terrified. |

Tories attack nepotism. Presumably it's okay if it's the 'right' people. Fucking hell. |

I see a couple of them have been confronted in the street. Maybe Manchester wasn't the best choice of venue.

I'd shed no tears if any of the cabinet got shanked tbh. Would even low-key celebrate if certain individuals got done.

Yeah imagine people getting their kids jobs.
Nadine Dories employed her two daughters to work in her parliamentary office costing the tax payer £80k a year.

Was it Dories who was attacking someone for having been to a posh/private school and her kids were currently at that exact school?

The absolute gall of that absolute mouth breather and the exasperation at the average voter who will cheer her on like a lemming. |

I see Nick Clegg's Odysseus-like journey towards the dark side is nearly complete:

Part of me is kinda meh about Facebook's evils. I think much like Trump was never the root of America's problems, Facebook in and of itself is as much a symptom of of the problem. Granted, it does significantly exacerbate things, but, for me, the core issues run far, far deeper.

Just think back to 20 years ago, before Facebook. Something has fundamentally changed in how misinformation spreads so rapidly and deep set, reaching people it never reached previously.
We're now at a point where a Parkland shooting survivor's own dad has become convinced that it was a false flag event and his own son was a paid actor in it.

I still can’t believe that episode of High School Musical got green lit. |
