He actually has some decent ideas on housing reform etc and made a decent start in role when he had it previously. He's an intellectual and political giant compared to most of the rest of the cabinet. Oh god what is happening to me. Agree tbh, as much as I dislike the Tories, Gove was doing the right things before he was ousted. See below thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I do draw the line at Hunt (destroyer of the NHS and Piss Poor Pandemic Preparation Planner) , Raab (attempted destroyer of the legal profession and Geography master) and Zahawi (will support anyone for a cabinet post and horse lover). They're still talentless willy pullers....even by modern standards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parafox Posted 25 October 2022 Share Posted 25 October 2022 1 hour ago, urban.spaceman said: Shouldn't have to give him a chance when: a) he's got a pretty bad track record while as Chancellor and is one of the reasons we're in this mess, b) he's filling his cabinet with provably unpleasant, unsuccessful and untalented people, and c) not a single person in the UK voted for him. He as no mandate from the electorate, no mandate from his own party and therefore should call an immediate general election. My question is, how can the electorate vote for a party until that party has a leader and a manifesto? He has a mandate from his own party as they voted him in as leader, albeit his only opponent pulled out of the contest. Calling an election would result in an unconsidered knee-jerk vote from the populace. With Truss and Kwarteng, it was clear from the start that they were completely clueless. I'm no Tory or Sunak supporter but I just feel we need to take a while before we judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cabinet is a collection of incompetents, failures, and those who were forced from office for serious breaches over the last 12 years. Precisely what are we waiting for?

Or it could be merely a symptom of the lack of talent in the wider parliamentary party, that his options are pretty thin.

As stated it's misreported for cheap headlines. In fairness the Leicester mercury have run the same story, also incorrectly. The original story was for another trust and it was repeated by MPs, representatives from unions and the RCN. All of which was contradictory to what the food bank said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
