What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Contrary to what people might think, I don’t want Boris back. I didn’t think it was the right time for him to resign for the reasons given. It’s in the past now. I suspect Sunak will get the job. Old fashioned Tory budget management will not go down well though even if it’s the right way to go. 

What exactly is "old fashioned Tory budget management"?

No they haven’t. The Tories have imploded.

TBF I used the expression and I am thinking more John Major than Liz Truss.

Course they have. And the Tories have imploded. 

Which is nice.

And if fucking off Johnson at that time and for what he did wasn't the right time, then fuck only knows when would be.

Black Wednesday Major or Mini Budget Truss. Tricky.

Why?

Because it's not a good thing for one party to be so dominant.

Democracy relies on a healthy opposition in order to function properly.

The FT is reporting Boris might be open to a deal with Sunak to avoid a run-off between the two of them.

Maybe he's not so confident of winning.

This thread has become like a twatter place.

Which, in fairness, reflects a lot of society.

The hidden danger with all this, is that without a proper centre right option, more extreme options will begin to coalesce. 

We're seeing just this playing out in Europe; France, Hungary, Italy and now even in Sweden. Varying degrees of moving to the right.

 

Equal and opposite reaction to years of creeping US leftism. As predictable as the sun coming up (not in Bolton, obviously).

Irrational Conservative versus International Socialist. I'll take the former every time thank you.

Fancy letting the Tory party members make the final vote again. Utter madness. 

Bear in mind that all of the previous polling the first time around had the party members heavily in favour of Mordaunt but the parliamentary party engineered a Sunak v Truss contest where the pro Boris membership were never going to choose a backstabber. If Penny is in the running, I am very happy to have the membership vote.

What happens when the boomer generation die off in the next 20 years? 

Apart from this place being decimated, do we expect the now middle-aged millennials to skew Conservative as they grow older?

Yes. It is as natural as going grey mate. You become more conservative as you get older as you observe what the younger generations seem willing to piss away.
