If things are looking bad for de Pfeffel he can always call on his cabinet of clowns to step into the fray and make fools of themselves. We had useless yesterday telling people to just buy value brands and good old Nadine who suggests that to be PM you need to always be honest and transparent in what you do.

CHOMP.

They're gaslighting constantly now.

Every single thing they and their supporters do now is about getting one over on 'the libs' and winding people up. They simply don't talk about policy or the consequences of their policies. It's so pathetic really that a European conservative party has imported this stuff direct from the Republicans in the US. It won't end well for them I feel - although the voter suppression/dog whistle and authoritarianism is deeply concerning because they're actually getting some of that enacted.

Imagine actually thinking that you don't like a candidate for Prime Minister because he's not entertaining enough. There's a weird personality cult around Johnson which is hard to fathom. Freud would have a field day with some of his fans.

Could not agree more, I'm just comparing them not defending him, as for dodgy car salesman, the less said the better about him the better, gets far too defensive.

I'm not worried about Starmer in either direction.
He is most certainly a different character to our current PM (understatement).

Johnson has more flannel than Dunelm.

Do you mean his flare?

The only time that Johnson has actually apologised was saying "sorry" multiple times during his Peppa Pig speech. He starts with "I would like to apologise...." and then never actually says sorry.

Style over substance started with Blair. Another unfortunate import from the USA

Another fine bit of whataboutery.

They were when he had them on, but I was referring to his Jenesequa his flair do keep up squire, he talks the talk because that's his job, like most of them , it's what they do best.

Sorry Chis.
Rather than (alleged) flare, he'd be better off swallowing the truth pill and doing something meaningful about the cost of living crisis.
10% inflation, plus interest rate hikes will certainly make the public sector pay settlements interesting.

As usual, the MP's will be ok but, the rest will be expected to accept 2% if they are lucky.

Expect the "we're all in this together" nonsense coming out again.

Strikes in the Autumn anyone ?
