It's really not fair. The country was asked to inflict a once in a generation harm on itself, in the Brexit referendum, to avert a Tory split. And yet here we are, with all the fractures worse than before.
Imagine if Cameron replaces Sunak as PM between now and the next election, the man who brought the Tories to power in 2010 then leads them out of office.... so poetic and bookended.
Tories: we need to leave the EU because it saves money and they have too many bureaucrats. Also Tories: Here‘s our new minister for common sense that does nothing.
The thing about the UK ministers being moved all the time before they can actually gain experience is pretty ancient, as the following exchange from "Yes, Minister" (1980s...) shows: Humphrey: "Bernard, how do you feel about having a new minister?" Bernard: "Well, of course, I'd be very sorry. Why, wouldn't you?" Humphrey: "Well, of course not!" Bernard: "But the minister is just starting to get a grip on the job" Humphrey: "Exactly!" Sir Arnold (the Cabinet Secretary): "Ministers with a grip on the job are a bit of a nuisance, you know?" Humphrey: "They argue!" Bernard: "But all ministers argue" Humphrey: "Yes, but if they got a grip on the job there's a real danger that they might be right!"
I am fully calling it, this was a calculated move by Suella. She intended to go against No.10 to force Sunak to either remove her (alienating the far right of the party) or to keep her, but making him seem far weaker. So she can push her way into Party Leader either before or after the General Election. Maybe she even got wind of David Cameron being ear marked for Foreign Secretary and that's another reason. Either way, this seems far too convenient of a position for Suella Braverman.
@@Shakwackla And alienate the far right even more? That'd 100% force the far right to submit no confidence motions and trigger a leadership election.

I'm not saying this as 100% fact, that this 100% is what's happened, but the entire situation seems a bit too convenient and quick for Suella. She navigated herself to Home Secretary, one of the Great Offices of State, and made herself leader of the far right. I'd say she's a smart cookie, politically speaking.
@@Shakwackla sorry I'll rephrase Yes, the sacking of her pushed the far right out and angered them. However, there's a big difference between the sacking of a nationally controversial Home Secretary, and effectively booting her from the party. The latter would trigger a far stronger response

It’s all the Tories trying to stay in power. Cameron agreed to a Brexit referendum (pushed for by the far right and UKIP) in order to be re-elected in 2015. After Cameron campaigned for remain and Brexit passed, he resigned in embarrassment. Then May struggled to ‘deliver’ Brexit in a way that did not mess with the Irish/Northern Irish peace process, and called an election too early thinking she had more support than she did and lost the Tories’ big majority (but still clung to power). This vastly weakened the Tory government and she had to resign. Boris Johnson took over, struggled to ‘deliver’ Brexit but was louder about it, then completely struggled to manage Covid, and did so many rule-breaking shenanigans like hosting parties during lockdowns and saying old people should just die, that he eventually resigned in shame. However he did call an election in 2019 shortly before the pandemic that strengthened the Tory majority in Parliament. After Johnson resigned, Liz Truss who is more right wing than Johnson (especially in economic terms), was voted party leader. She immediately embarked on implementing extreme tax cuts which horrified the Bank of England and economists which tanked the economy in a few short days and amplified inflation. The Bank of England, which is independent, did what it can to right the ship but it was overall a disaster (though could have been worse if her policies were allowed to continue). She rolled back her policies but the damage was done so she resigned after some 40 odd days. Rishi Sunak was then voted in as party leader (he had been chancellor under Johnson which meant he had more economic experience as chancellors control the budget). By all rights Sunak should call an election but he isn’t required to until December 2024. The Tories have been polling well below Labour at least since Liz Truss. Now they are dealing with a major schism and infighting with recently sacked Suella Braverman angling to oppose Sunak. If I didn’t live here I would find this level of drama fascinating but it’s really all been quite horrifying (needless to say, I do not vote Conservative).
The problem the Conservatives have is there's very few conservatives in the parliamentary party, never mind the cabinet. They have done little in the way of conservatism since 2010. Even BREXIT was forced on them by UKIP and the public.
They have done very little traditional conservative actions since they copied Tony Blair's centralist stance . In some areas they literally stole labours position , this has become more difficult of late due to starmer incapable of making and sticking to a decision. Most of the current Tory MPs should be new labour MPs
I think you could (and should) have said a lot more about Cameron's involvement with Greensill Capital and the extent to which a UK Foreign Secretary could be compromised by an awkward relationship with the Chinese Government. This could be Sunak's biggest risk - and the most serious misjudgement - in bringing Cameron back into Government.
Cameron, causes a total s**tstorm due to his unbelievable arrogance then legs it and leaves someone else to sort the mess out. Thinking about it Cameron could actually be a metaphor for recent British foreign policy. Has there ever been a time when the UK has been so bereft of any political heavyweight talent, including opposition parties?
Probably not. Because most people get their opinions from the news, panel shows, and social media it means the problems of the country are always filtered through the lens of people entirely consumed by optics. The disconnect between what is optically viable and what actually matters was highlighted during the Brexit era where the Optics-minded politicians had no idea how deep the resentment for the EU went and how badly their handling of EU influence in British culture had gotten. Then the Tories futzed about trying to appease the extremely vocal retainers who predominated throughout the media spheres only for Boris to come in and clean house by appealing to the exact OPPOSITE of what the media class were invested in because he appealed to the people on the ground level. But even then Boris was just his own kind of optics-obsessed buffoon and he either lacked the will or the skill to deliver on anything he promised. Likely both. So yeah we're effed until people start voting for problems rather than optics and that's only going to happen once the problems get too large for the media to continue hiding and once the voters get energised enough to vote *for* a candidate rather than *against* all the others.
The new Home Secretary is 1) not brought back - Cleverly was Foreign Secretary before his move to the Home Office, and is 2) not a fossil - Cleverly is currently an MP, most recently re-elected to the HoC in 2019. The fossil is in the Foreign Office.
@@ShakwacklaWhat benefit was membership? Leeds East Constituency voted Leave as we know what membership is- skyscrapers surrounded by slums. Even Labour accepts it now and the regeneration programmes of building supermarkets and retail parks to lesuire complexes didn't work. Instead we ended up with a low wage economy.

You mentioned benefits to leaving, tell me abou.........oh wait, you did not mention any benefits because there are none. Whoops.
@@ShakwacklaI live in The Leeds East Constituency and when I sit on The 56 and see The Headrow on it I see why people voted Leave. The jobs are poorly paid, lack mentoring and coaching, 121 and tuition to personal development. Leeds is so deindustrialised no wonder it has a high rate of unemployment and the vanity skyscrapers are surrounded by slums and it doesn't benefit anyone at all levels. It's just poor people serving meals and good times to the already super rich who come from Spofforth and the server has to live in some redbrick slum house on Leeds York Road Gipton Approach. Nobody denies The EU did bring peace to Northern Ireland a major achievement of membership however nothing else was convincing to stay in.
In essence, the UK is in a mess, as it has been the case for quite some time now. Sad situation.....it is becoming a textbook case of mismanagement and self-inflicted damage
They shouldn't have sacked Braverman....just moved her to Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. That would have been a much crueller punishment and a a fate worse than death for anyone's political career

@@asphyxiafeelingjust being in favor of remain doesn't equal having a good name. After all, - he was the nutter who went overconfident and arrogant to the EU to make demands for more English exceptions under the threat of a leave referendum, - he was the one taking the UK out of the more moderate group in the EU parliament to side with Hungary in a much more rightwing group - he was the pm thdt blocked certain eurozone specific regulations to deal with the "eurocrisis" so the EU had to waste time and money to go around the UK - he was the pm proudly declaring that the UK would not contribute one penny to Greece when they had an existential crisis. I'm sure I've forgotten half of the topics why Cameron/UK is not liked much in the EU.
I can only see a conservative split benefitting the Lib Dems, or centrist voters who have been left somewhat politically homeless for the past decade or so.
The left destroyed the corbanites and the right is pushing out it's radicals. That's why your country has no useful politics, just rising debts, non-existent borders and a wealthy elite running both sides of parliament robbing you blind while your service collapse. Hopefully you lot find somebody anybody to break the grip of the bureaucrats and billionaires, but I doubt it.
Who's Suella unpopular with exactly? If you're going to say that you need to qualify it, as she isn't unpopular in a lot of circles. She's got the virtue of speaking truth and speaking truth to power - two things guaranteed to get you the sack.

Inaccurate to say Suella is unpopular, the party membership and a good degree of backbenchers love her. In the two days after she was sacked, 700 people switched party alignments to Reform which then hit 3rd largest in the polls
I appreciate what these guys do, but I think it would improve the professional impression if jack would lose a childish pronunciation like "sec-you-tree".
Shame back to the Soft left Tories and the Hard left Labour narrative. Nothing will change, both of your parties spend too much, have open borders that allow limitless parasitic invaders rather than useful professionals immigrants to pour in and they are both made up of university educated elites that don't give a damn about the people of Britain. Britain has a future of unlimited borrowing to rob the young to pay the poor, increasing taxes, no national story other than apologising for existing and now no hope of return. Britain is a laughing stock even here in Australia now.
oh thank god they threw the rwanda plan out the window, truly a cost saving measure to fly thousands of people to africa instead of just dealing with our own issues
There is no U in "Secretary". Its not pronounced "Secutary". I know its small but it grates. On next week's edition of annoying youtube pronunciation checkers: "it's nu-clee-err-" not "nu-cu-ler".
Tories: "This party ain't big enough for both racists AND insider traders, it's time we split!". Liberals: "So... none of you ever actually cared about liberty then?" Everyone else: "LOL ofc not".
Great summary - thank you. Carrying on from your point about Sunak ending his pandering to the right of the party, how about this idea for a follow up video? First, what is the breakdown of existing Tory MPs in terms of Far Right, Right, Centre Right, Centre? Then how many of these MPs have already said they will not be contesting the next election, and how many more are likely to lose their seats? In other words, would Sunak have done this analysis and knows that the Far Right and Right MPs will be too weakened by losing their seats? Sunak himself has a 19,000 majority which should be enough to keep him in place next time around. Personally I don't think he's that clever politically and I also think that Far Right MPs may have bigger majorities than moderates (just a guess on my part).
The best hope is for the Tory party to split. There are some fair minded people who prefer a moderate conservative party but there is no such party. They are as a result disenfranchised. Sunak needs to try and get his party back from the nutter populists.
The problem for the Tories is that they need to unite the moderates and the nutters to stand a chance; they're basically the only choice for the right wing vote as compared to the fragmented left wing vote.
It's not as bad as in the US, where only a husk of a conservative party controlled by the Trump movement remains, but I fear that such a split will only help the populists.
The anti democratic appointment of the foreign secretary who can not be held to account in the commons means the whole lot must go. Accountability is the foundation of democracy.
Don't you have votes of confidence for specific ministers in the UK? Also, considering the conservatives are dominanting the house, what would be the point?
@@2Links No, there are no votes of confidence in individual ministers. The prime minister has the right and authority to appoint whomever he wishes to be ministers. Under the principle of collective responsibility, if the House of Commons voices its lack of confidence in a minister, it is expected that the entire government will resign.
@@LordDim1 Interesting, didn't know that. Here we have specific confidence votes. I suppose there's not that huge of a difference though, as long as parliament is controlled by the ruling party. I guess the problem is that this is nearly always the case with FPTP.
As someone who usually votes Tory I can say that this guarantees I will vote for The Reform Party. It literally makes no difference whether Labour or the Conservatives are in power. Anyone who has a strong attachment to either is a mug
0:51 That letter is painfull to read. Do MPs no longer learn to write clear English that isn't littered with grammatical and stylistic errors before entering parliament?
Cleverly instills no hope that he's going to do anything as home secretary. I get the feeling he's just an entity that fills a post to pinch a wage. A man of status quo and not enough substance/backbone to hold much of an opinion, let alone putting into motion any actions. Too afraid of doing anything remotely controversial.
He's potentially quite a smart appointment as he gives the government an easy route to walk back the shipping container on RAF stations asylum policy with one of them being in his own constituency. Better for the Tories that he walks it back than letting the courts decide that it's not legal/in breach of planning rules etc.
He's a middle manager. Something like John Major. To be honest indint mind this. Non ideological go through the motions management. It could work in our favour.
First past the post helps the two main parties both of which have undergone existential change. The Labour Party once had heartlands in areas of the country with blue collar industries. Those industries have declined for over a century. The Labour Party have concentrated on London, the metropolitan cities and some university cities and have doubled down on woke issues. The Labour Party has splits with Semites and Anti-Semites. The Conservative Party is, also at risk. Do they go Red Wall or Blue Wall? Trying to ride two horses is problematic. The Reform Party must be rubbing their hands but face the problems third parties do.
Sunak: blaming the last 30 years of government for today's woes.

The new Home Secretary is 1) not brought back - Cleverly was Foreign Secretary before his move to the Home Office, and is 2) not a fossil - Cleverly is currently an MP, most recently re-elected to the HoC in 2019. The fossil is in the Foreign Office.
Read this as an 'orrible fossil t' b' the 'ome secretary
Braverman wasn't unpopular with the Tory voter
The way he pronounces Secretary is mad! 😮
“Cameron has to take at least some of the blame for Brexit “ has got to be Understatement of the Decade. The entire catastrophe is his fault
Cameron doesnt need to be blamed since the Brexit was and is the best thig ever hapened
@@alexlehrersh9951What benefit are you finding most helpful in your everyday life since leaving.
@@ShakwacklaWhat benefit was membership? Leeds East Constituency voted Leave as we know what membership is- skyscrapers surrounded by slums. Even Labour accepts it now and the regeneration programmes of building supermarkets and retail parks to lesuire complexes didn't work. Instead we ended up with a low wage economy.
@@shanjanusman9974 cheaper food. Cheaper energy. The fishing industry would have survived. Farming was viable. Dover was passable. The rivers were not full of human excrement and many many more. You mentioned benefits to leaving, tell me abou.........oh wait, you did not mention any benefits because there are none. Whoops.
@@ShakwacklaI live in The Leeds East Constituency and when I sit on The 56 and see The Headrow on it I see why people voted Leave. The jobs are poorly paid, lack mentoring and coaching, 121 and tuition to personal development. Leeds is so deindustrialised no wonder it has a high rate of unemployment and the vanity skyscrapers are surrounded by slums and it doesn't benefit anyone at all levels. It's just poor people serving meals and good times to the already super rich who come from Spofforth and the server has to live in some redbrick slum house on Leeds York Road Gipton Approach. Nobody denies The EU did bring peace to Northern Ireland a major achievement of membership however nothing else was convincing to stay in.
In essence, the UK is in a mess, as it has been the case for quite some time now. Sad situation.....it is becoming a textbook case of mismanagement and self-inflicted damage
I think the host has a problem with the pronunciation of the word ‘Secretary’.
They shouldn't have sacked Braverman....just moved her to Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. That would have been a much crueller punishment and a a fate worse than death for anyone's political career
We don't need to restart the troubles
@@jamesduffy7549 xD she does a bad job it will only annoy the DUP and benefit Sinn Fein. She does a good job noone will notice and the DUP will still find something to be bitter about
Typpical British view on NI right here. 😂
Jenkyns letter was hilarious and she was the minister of skills!
When the news broke, I was waiting for this video to come out!
The funniest thing is that the Brexiteers claimed the EU is not democratic enough 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The funniest thing is you assume us brexiteers are happy with what's going on, we aren't we are bloody furious
Well, it's your party and its illustrious representatives that do this to the country - already making you proud to be British? What to do with all that exceptionalism ...
@@sabinehahn9774 funny how you say my party.... I didn't vote tory

Such simple tribalist thinking from these hateful people.
@@SaintGerbilUK yea even the centre are considered far right to these people 🙄
The EU, for one, don't have a high opinion of Cameron. We have dodgy Dave back
Why not? Wasn't he in favor of Remain during Brexit?
@@asphyxiafeelinghe argued for Remain, but he was an exceptionalist pain in the arse in Brussels
@@asphyxiafeelingjust being in favor of remain doesn't equal having a good name.
After all,
- he was the nutter who went overconfident and arrogant to the EU to make demands for more English exceptions under the threat of a leave referendum,
- he was the one taking the UK out of the more moderate group in the EU parliament to side with Hungary in a much more rightwing group
- he was the pm thdt blocked certain eurozone specific regulations to deal with the "eurocrisis" so the EU had to waste time and money to go around the UK
- he was the pm proudly declaring that the UK would not contribute one penny to Greece when they had an existential crisis.
I'm sure I've forgotten half of the topics why Cameron/UK is not liked much in the EU.
this will split the tories and this will not go well for them
I can only see a conservative split benefitting the Lib Dems, or centrist voters who have been left somewhat politically homeless for the past decade or so.
The left destroyed the corbanites and the right is pushing out it's radicals. That's why your country has no useful politics, just rising debts, non-existent borders and a wealthy elite running both sides of parliament robbing you blind while your service collapse. Hopefully you lot find somebody anybody to break the grip of the bureaucrats and billionaires, but I doubt it.
In case things couldn’t get any worse for them
'Secutry'
"Controversial" is NOT an argument.
Just bring on the next General Election and vote REFORM UK.
Lol those clowns who got us in this mess, farage is dead
How long before Cruella is back again?
Well last time, she "learned her lesson" with a week's paid leave.
Who's Suella unpopular with exactly? If you're going to say that you need to qualify it, as she isn't unpopular in a lot of circles.
She's got the virtue of speaking truth and speaking truth to power - two things guaranteed to get you the sack.
Turning to a disgraced former prime minister for credibility really shows the state the tories are in.
When Cameron retired in 2016 he should have stayed retired.
It is incredibly stupid to see British worrying on interventionism on other countries when in fact their own country is an absoolute Mess.
THE USA...
I hope so. Brexit could not save them, and Cameron will go down in infamy for that disastrous act.
The man played chicken and lost.
Running away like the coward he is?
@@notjustforhackers4252 I mean, if you made a gamble that massively blew up in your face, wouldn't you run too?
The dumb Pigfucker thought he could get himself a better negotiating position, and didn't realize how many people were willingly to lie, cheat, and steal to get the thing he was bluffing with passed
The laugh at "competence" at 2:58 is perfect
Inaccurate to say Suella is unpopular, the party membership and a good degree of backbenchers love her. In the two days after she was sacked, 700 people switched party alignments to Reform which then hit 3rd largest in the polls
People talking of split parties, when (soon) there is an Islamic party there will never ever be a split vote or split party.
There was an islamic party in Britain.
Allied with trotskyists and some far-left jews, and collapsed.
I was awaiting the reshuffle on Twitter on the Tory page. When he showed up, I checked twice to make sure I wasn't looking at a satire account.
I appreciate what these guys do, but I think it would improve the professional impression if jack would lose a childish pronunciation like "sec-you-tree".
You're rocking the jumper!
Great video. It's a shame that I've got all of the type of products Bellroy offers as having previously bought some of their things, they were great.
Braverman has been thrown aside, and the court has just thrown aside her Rwanda plan.
Shame back to the Soft left Tories and the Hard left Labour narrative. Nothing will change, both of your parties spend too much, have open borders that allow limitless parasitic invaders rather than useful professionals immigrants to pour in and they are both made up of university educated elites that don't give a damn about the people of Britain. Britain has a future of unlimited borrowing to rob the young to pay the poor, increasing taxes, no national story other than apologising for existing and now no hope of return.
Britain is a laughing stock even here in Australia now.
oh thank god they threw the rwanda plan out the window, truly a cost saving measure to fly thousands of people to africa instead of just dealing with our own issues
David Cameron returning is like an anime plot twist. ^^’
There is no U in "Secretary". Its not pronounced "Secutary". I know its small but it grates.
On next week's edition of annoying youtube pronunciation checkers: "it's nu-clee-err-" not "nu-cu-ler".
Sunak must be replaced as soon as possible, as for David Cameron we all know what he is.!.. A liar.!!
So, he just fits in with the rest of them.
I thought that fascists want their Cinderella back...
Cruella 0 - Snake 1
I love the cat showing up at 2:00
Tories: "This party ain't big enough for both racists AND insider traders, it's time we split!".
Liberals: "So... none of you ever actually cared about liberty then?"
Everyone else: "LOL ofc not".
Groan.
Net zero is social policy?
Not in and of itself but a lot of net zero measures involve tinkering with society in a way that gets a lot of people's backs up
@@Cunnysmythe Such as what? Let's see how many urban legends and Daily Mail headlines you come out with in reply.
@@paulgibbon5991 Grinding up infants for consumption
Great summary - thank you. Carrying on from your point about Sunak ending his pandering to the right of the party, how about this idea for a follow up video? First, what is the breakdown of existing Tory MPs in terms of Far Right, Right, Centre Right, Centre? Then how many of these MPs have already said they will not be contesting the next election, and how many more are likely to lose their seats? In other words, would Sunak have done this analysis and knows that the Far Right and Right MPs will be too weakened by losing their seats? Sunak himself has a 19,000 majority which should be enough to keep him in place next time around. Personally I don't think he's that clever politically and I also think that Far Right MPs may have bigger majorities than moderates (just a guess on my part).
Love your jumper! Where did you get it?
@1:31 - Monday the 14th? What happened to Tuesday the 13th?
Won’t be voting Conservative ever again.
Will the Tories split? No. The Tories always act in the best interests of their bank balances.
Thank you TLDR
Hell yea a bellroy sponsor! Doing melbourne proud
The best hope is for the Tory party to split. There are some fair minded people who prefer a moderate conservative party but there is no such party. They are as a result disenfranchised. Sunak needs to try and get his party back from the nutter populists.
Agreed. The party is already split, the only question is how the pieces are going to land
FPTP makes this not ideal for either side of the split, therefore neither side gains by doing that. dont count on it.
The problem for the Tories is that they need to unite the moderates and the nutters to stand a chance; they're basically the only choice for the right wing vote as compared to the fragmented left wing vote.
@@jonathanodude6660 but trying to stay together makes them fractious and unelectable too
Damned either way
It's not as bad as in the US, where only a husk of a conservative party controlled by the Trump movement remains, but I fear that such a split will only help the populists.
TLDR arguing for David Cameron to be in GOV. What a joke.
Bring back May, Johnson and Truss. 😂
Bringing the band back together!

The anti democratic appointment of the foreign secretary who can not be held to account in the commons means the whole lot must go.
Accountability is the foundation of democracy.
Don't you have votes of confidence for specific ministers in the UK? Also, considering the conservatives are dominanting the house, what would be the point?
@@2Links No, there are no votes of confidence in individual ministers. The prime minister has the right and authority to appoint whomever he wishes to be ministers. Under the principle of collective responsibility, if the House of Commons voices its lack of confidence in a minister, it is expected that the entire government will resign.
@@LordDim1 Interesting, didn't know that. Here we have specific confidence votes. I suppose there's not that huge of a difference though, as long as parliament is controlled by the ruling party. I guess the problem is that this is nearly always the case with FPTP.
Its like a sequel to a bad horror movie. Cameron - Dispair of the peasantry.
Is that really how people pronounce "secretary?".
Sec-yuh-tree
I say it as it's spelt: Sec-re-ta-ree.
Sidenote: during the stock footage at ~2:00, we see the real boss of No. 10 checking out the security detail on the door...
Why you saying sec-u-tree?
Suella was dismissed for speaking the truth!
David Cameron should be in *jail,* not in office...
Can we appreciate TLDR's brilliant jumper fashion‽
If the Tories are about to split, perhaps this is a good time to talk about proportional voting.
As someone who usually votes Tory I can say that this guarantees I will vote for The Reform Party. It literally makes no difference whether Labour or the Conservatives are in power. Anyone who has a strong attachment to either is a mug
Love TLDR: but the flashing grid behind the blue boxes ! It hurts my eyes! could it be cut in future episode editing?
Spaniard living in Berlin. I love TLDR channels
If only secretaries could be selected based on expertise without needing to be a politician.
Great coverage, as usual TLDR. Can I just point out though: "Secretary", not "Secyutary"
@@Besthinktwice I understand, but I’m a native English speaker too and passionate about proper pronunciation.
0:51 That letter is painfull to read. Do MPs no longer learn to write clear English that isn't littered with grammatical and stylistic errors before entering parliament?
Is that the Chief Mouser making a cameo in your No. 10 footage?

Hello

@@nadrini300 hello! Hope you're doing well too!
Cleverly instills no hope that he's going to do anything as home secretary. I get the feeling he's just an entity that fills a post to pinch a wage. A man of status quo and not enough substance/backbone to hold much of an opinion, let alone putting into motion any actions. Too afraid of doing anything remotely controversial.
He's potentially quite a smart appointment as he gives the government an easy route to walk back the shipping container on RAF stations asylum policy with one of them being in his own constituency. Better for the Tories that he walks it back than letting the courts decide that it's not legal/in breach of planning rules etc.
He's a middle manager. Something like John Major. To be honest indint mind this. Non ideological go through the motions management. It could work in our favour.
SUNAK OUT NOW!!!!
Sterling plays on the left, gosh I hate these people
I mean what on earth is going on, any government allowed to change shoes this many times is unfit to lead period.
Just a reminder, Australia's foreign secretary is a senator, not much difference.
I just can’t get over the pig-gate scandal
First past the post helps the two main parties both of which have undergone existential change.
The Labour Party once had heartlands in areas of the country with blue collar industries. Those industries have declined for over a century.
The Labour Party have concentrated on London, the metropolitan cities and some university cities and have doubled down on woke issues.
The Labour Party has splits with Semites and Anti-Semites.
The Conservative Party is, also at risk. Do they go Red Wall or Blue Wall? Trying to ride two horses is problematic.
The Reform Party must be rubbing their hands but face the problems third parties do.
Define "Woke" without accidentally making it sound like a good thing.
