UK Politics Thread (Part 2)

This sort of post is why I’ve said your politics is disgusting. If this is what you really believe you are a disgrace. If you don’t believe it then you are effectively trolling. Either way it would be best if you stopped.

Which publication is this?

You do realise that you’re basically taking the piss out of yourself here? I’ll stop when I’m dead thanks very much.

My wife has got me started using them again, lately.

Any why on earth would he take the job now? Sure, he might be able to hang on longer than Truss, but his political career would come to an end in about 2 years.

George Canning, early in the 19C - died in office after about four months.

Two years would be absolute best case, and a dubious best case at that. Two years of fending off a reckoning for someone else’s mistakes before taking the fall for them doesn’t sound compelling.

I answered the way I did but was thinking the same as you - why would he take the job now. It is a sure hiding to nothing and, as you say, the best outcome is 2 years in the job. The only nagging doubt in my mind is that all politicians, and more so those that seek the light, have gigantic egos, levels of grandeur that wouldn’t fit inside all the aircraft carriers put together and a massive delusional mind fog that fails to acknowledge or recognise reality, that he (or some such - I’m looking at the 3 Bs, Braverman, Baker and Boris) may still take the job!
