Well go **** yourself then!

Do the Tories really want to give Labour a gift?

On the other hand, we could end up with a lot worse.

Need a more genuine low tax, low spend sort of government. On the other hand, as I've said before, a merit of any leader is being able to call him by a rude name. Squishy Poosack is good.

Mind you he does already have his own song -

Are you ready, are you ready for Rishi? Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for Rishi?
Yes I am, are you
Are you ready, are you ready for Rishi?

The man is still deep in the Treasury's pocket. Why else has all the damage to contracting been allowed? why else does he apparently support a high-taxation regime? To my mind that disbars most of the ex-Cabinet hopefuls, who all seem to be running the Civil Service's line (even Truss...) with the possible exception of Wallace who is ploughing his own furrow in Defence

Andrew Neil got it right (as usual) - whoever comes in as PM needs to be the antithesis of Bojo, with a clear agenda and an effective and professional team behind him in No 10 to keep him/her on the straight and narrow.

[xoggoth]

Agree. Malvolio and d0000000000gh most sensible CUKers in my view.

Wallace has opted out. Bugger....

Wallace has opted out. Bugger....

Big endorsement, though.

Hopefully not for Rishi.

Tories will be out next election anyway.
Cost of living, energy bills and petrol prices, followed by high interests, the country will be in a recession next year
