Tugendhat would be a sensible pick, although he’s rather Starmer like in his charisma. Appears principled, but he’d have to get rid of the absolute tripe in the current cabinet. I think it will be Truss or Wallace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an element that the leader of whichever party keeps potential usurpers out of the limelight. It's hard to know how good some of the back benchers might be if they are kept away from cabinet.

Popular Post foxile5 Posted 27 May 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 27 May 2022 Good grief. Amending good practice documentation instead of being remotely ethical just screams of abuse of power. Is there nobody that'll put this right? It's horrendous. Arrogant and offensive. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozleicester Posted 28 May 2022 Share Posted 28 May 2022 its 9 years old now... but nothing has changed. If you want to know why the corrupt tories remain in power, the explanation is throughout this book...from Thatcher till today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local Labour (and other parties) need to put a good campaign together at the next election and get rid of the useless Hunt and Tories. They’ve done nothing for the area since 2010, except sell off land for housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely shocking in its transparent intent. You’ve been found to break the rules so just rewrite the rule book. Remove any potential for accountability. It’s not even just corruption anymore. It’s a chilling lurch towards fascism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tempted to say that even with the literally incredible amount of shit he has pulled in the last 2 and a half years that this is the worst, but I am sure that somebody will remind me of something abhorrent I’ve forgotten. Either way I agree this is not getting enough traction, this is outright dangerous. Where the **** are the backbenchers here? Get off your arses and get him out! The rest of the cabinet might be in his thrall but there are dozens of “normal” Tory MPs that will lose their seats at the next GE if he carries on, and that’s just appealing to their selfish attraction to power, not their duty to their constituents and the country more generally. I was previously of the opinion that it would be better for the Tories to gorge themselves for the next 3 years and then not see the light of day for another 20 but I am really concerned about the damage that is being done every single day at the moment. The precedents being set here don’t bear thinking about, we need to make sure that this is a one-off and that we’re not creating an ongoing template for poor governance.

It’s possible for there to be a minimum sentence length as a penalty, perhaps one year, and a maximum length of sentencing at five to 10 years per charge. Absolutely correct. But guess what. No jail sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
