I guess amongst the blatant and sometimes gratuitous nepotism/cronyism during the pandemic, we should remember that we were in effect on somewhat of a war footing. The billions that were lost could be chalked off to an extent. This is not to excuse the events but I wonder how efficient this war was with to others.
Labour has plans to try to get some of the publicās money back:
Until Starmer performs another u-turn, at least.

I donāt expect the Liberals and Trudeau to get the 240mil back from the telecoms. that money has already been paid in dividends to shareholders as āprofitā.

Labour has plans to try to get some of the publicās money back:
I hope they delve a lot deeper than the more obvious stuff hiding below the stealth blanket, of the fast track short-cut routes taken during covidā¦ I hope they dig into the underhand lobbying that has been going on for a long time, and what excess monies was mispent down that road - The likes of David Cameron oiling up his greasy palms even further springs to mindā¦!

Loose change to them, but sleazy nonetheless

I think I read a week or two ago that Sunakās personal poll ratings had now fallen below that of Johnson.

Obviously it wonāt happen, but if these patterns were replicated across the country the Tories would only be left with 29 seats.
Hereās hoping!

SNP seem to be on shaky ground themselves, how likely is it they will win most of the seats in Scotland?
How many of them are realistic targets for a resurgent labour vote?
Iām curious what the likely make up of those Tories who do win their seats will be. How many will be of the Braverman/ Anderson wing and how many traditionalist or Social Conservative factions.
If Labour position themselves as a realistic alternative to the Tories, they could do well. If they are just sniping at the SNP they are likely to benefit the Conservatives as they did in the 2017 GE.

How many of the traditional One Nation Conservatives actually remain? Johnson and his mob forced most of them out. There are odd names that keep popping up so they may just be keeping their heads below the trenches and relying on being a popular local MP.

Thatās why i was wondering. The smaller the parliamentary party the greater the voice of remaining MPās?

It will speak volumes if the only (or vast majority of) Conservatives to retain their seats are traditional āOne Nationā blues.
