Little as I like Boris' personal behaviour, until recently I would probably on balance prefer to maintain the status quo especially now Rishi is damaged. I still see no obvious replacement but neither can I see any real way back at the next GE without a big public change to the party. There is no easy win to be had in terms of recovery - as post-Covid there seemed to be - as it looks like things are only going to get worse globally due to various reasons.
Starmer is a centrist and at least a competent, clever person so maybe not the worst thing he has it for a few years and takes all the blame without doing too much additional damage.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

If Starmer gets in there will be a massive Keynesian splurge on public infra-structure projects, the economy will bounce back and people will be saying "we've never 'ad it so good" until a few years later it goes belly up because money doesn't grow on trees and the Tories have to clear up the God awful mess left by Labour again. Rinse and repeat.
This is why some people don't deserve better than Boris, because their mindset is that Tories are the perfect party, and no one else can have a clue.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

A Tory (or Labour) leader who steals all the good ideas from the opposition is fine by me. I don't really care if they take credit for it.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

As opposed to what ? A massive borrowing splurge on useless PPE, non existent ferry routes, BBL Fraud and Track & Trace ? So what state are the country's finances in now, in comparison to the god awful mess that Labour left ?Last edited by Guy At Charnock Richard; 10 June 2022, 14:50.Comment

Got a short memory haven't you? There was no money left, Labour splurged the lot instead of fixing the roof when the sun was shining as any decent fiscally conservative government should have done. Then 2008 came along and the rest is history.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
