Tells you all you need to know about the members

My thoughts exactly.

Rishi’s vote amongst members was actually rising against that of Truss in the tail end of the leadership campaign - it just came too late for him to win. A poll released yesterday of the membership gave Rish a two thirds share of the vote.

The issue for him is not the membership at large but the pro Boris camp who are refusing to support him.

Edited to add.

Against who?

I commeneted at the time that governance by three-word slogan is never good.

Stop the boats!

Build the wall!

Get Brexit done!

Same vacuous shite the world over…how utterly unsurprising it always comes from the right.

I agree with your sentiments, but this bolded bit is incorrect. We know a decent chunk of the Conservative Party have had anti EU leanings, and it is pretty clear that amongst the left of the Labour Party there are anti EU supporters.

Actually I thought Cameron was an excellent PM, he was the statesman. May was very good too IMHO, she tried BREXIT light but the party wouldn’t wear it so was replaced by a pig headed twit in a china shop who’s grasp of fact and reality only equaled his grasp of monogamy. Either of them would be a billion times better than Truss. My gran would be better than Truss and she’s dead!

You must have missed the part where he and Gideon imposed austerity on the entire country and sent it into its downward spiral.

Oh, and Brexit.

LBC on for Mr Left’s take on this. I’ll be honest, I quite like James O’Brian. Disagree on pretty much everything but he has an educated and knowledgable slant on it and is as deeply opinionated as me. All good.

Regarding the top two, it’s two for the price of one if you build a wall. About 15-20 km out at sea, from Brighton to Hull and the boats wont be an issue. Also stick on massive turrets, housing motion detection triggered machine guns, sporadically and maybe also mine both sides - just in case the wall is breached…

He didn’t vote for BREXIT, he facilitated the majority of the country to vote for what they wanted. Demonstrably. As for Austerity, imagine having a functioning financial plan right now to put the economy back on track. These fuckers are pouring petrol on the fire one minute then water the next.

Which British PM had the shortest tenure?

Pitt the even briefer?

That could quite easily have been a sketch from The Day Today.
