That pig fucker has as much blame on him as anyone for this austerity driven bollocks, taking us out of Europe and leaving us with a shambles of a country/government. Twat!

Vandelay I don't see anything wrong with it. Banning drugs has worked really well after all.

It'll just accelerate the decline of tobacco use which is already on a steady downward trajectory, under 13% of the UK population smoke, in 1974 it was over 45%.

Truss had her mini budget without consulting the OBR, Sunak does similar.

The cigs ban is a carbon copy of New Zealand’s policy

Making the difficult long term decisions is a speciality of the Conservative party
edit: it's just infuriatingly incompetent - every one of those changes involves gearing up a civil service staff, council staff, network rail staff, getting project managers on board, engaging contractors, buying land, then shutting everything down again, re-assigning staff, cancelling contracts, then six months later starting all over again.

The Midland Metro extension is puzzling me.
The western part is already under construction, and I think the eastern one already has the cash in place. So I’ve got bugger all idea of what Sunak has actually promised

Sounds like a Tory victory in tomorrows papers to me 'Only Rishi can deliver the change we need!' I could work for the Daily Mail.

On the News Agents this evening, they were saying that Sunak has brought back Cummings as an advisor. Not sure if that's true or not but I hadn't heard it mentioned before.

Not a fan of Owen Jones, but his Tory party conference videos are always worth a watch:
A view from the enemy as it were.

Raise the cigarette age by a year each year. How is that going to work without people having to produce ID? What’s to stop older people flogging them to younger people. Will private sale be an offence? How many more policies will you pull out of your arse without doing the long term thinking about how to implement them?

I don’t mind the smoking ban at all. Fuck smoking.

In fairness it's not like that's an original policy of theirs. They've just copied New Zealand's homework.
And yeah, as a non smoker absolutely no complaints here. Disgusting habit.

Same here. But have the balls to ban it rather than this half arsed stuff, that will land on Trading Standards and the police to sort out.

I’m confused how any of these things are a new issue. It’s the same as now but the age limit is gradually increasing. i know tories do stupid policies but i don’t see how the mechanisms of this one is confusing or difficult.

Finally gave up eight years ago and as such I'm just the absolute worst preachy cunt about the perils of smoking. But yeah, would have been handy if they'd done this thirty years ago.
