General Election on 19:13 - Jun 12 by majorraglan | So it looks like the 12 month military secondment /national service may actually be 25 days! What b@@@@@@@ is this, itās unreal. What is the point in 25 days āmilitary serviceā - itās a joke and they are making it up as they go along and gaslighting us as they go along. I think the concept of a years military service could work, but it needs a lot of thought. Any kid not education, training or employment should be compelled to contribute - or no benefits. |
Well that announcement will please those against y the idea , I'm just wondering why the criticism of the news now ? | |

General Election on 19:52 - Jun 12 by raynor94 | A private aid to Sunak is being investigated for placing a bet on the date of the election 3 days before Sunak announced it! They really are doing a great job of handing the election to Labour |
It beggars belief. Iāve seen the story but donāt have the detail, but how on earth did this guy expect to get away with it. This is the caliber of the people running the country, - itās frightening. Heās potentially committed a criminal offence, if he wins his seat at the GE thereās a possibility the ongoing investigations could carry forward in to the new parliament and he could still be done on a disciplinary and be recalled. | | | |

It's going from bad to worse, sh1t creek without a paddle and boat. Just full out sinking deeper and deeper as every day passes!!!! QUOTE "Rishi Sunak refuses to say if he had told close aide Craig Williams the date of the election before he placed Ā£100 bet on when it would happen - as Tory candidate faces 'inside information' gambling probe." Is it any wonder why many are speculating whether or not Sunak will make it to polling day! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13527177/Rishi-Sunak-Craig-Williams-dat | |

General Election on 17:41 - Jun 13 with 1161 views | Dr_Winston | Let's be honest here. I doubt Sunak gives much of a toss if the Tories lose the election. He's probably actively hoping for it. Nothing he is doing or saying suggests that he genuinely thinks they can or wants to win. If you had a missus worth as much as his is, homes all over the World and a lifetime of easy cash on the lecture circuit why the hell would you put yourself through even more of this? He hasn't stood down as an MP yet because doing so would make it even more obvious, but I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see a by-election in Richmond & Northallerton within the next twelve months.

General Election on 15:04 - May 22 by johnlangy | Thank you major. I was planning on starting a thread with a similar list. My plan was to point this out so people know exactly where we are and are totally aware of what the Tories have done to the country. Then i'd save the list in order to repost it as and when needed. That's because people forget so quickly. I would hazard a guess that this lot will be blaming Labour for the state of the country within 12 months, complaining that they haven't fixed the problems which they created over the last 14 years. So i'll save your post and use that instead if that's okay ? |

Posters maybe creaming themselves at the prospect of the Torys being demolished next month but the thought that this country could well then be in a position of not having a credible opposition should be of a concern to everyone .The thought of any political party having a free rein is not good for democracy and this could happen if the polls are correct . | |

I think the Conservative Party got rid of a fair chunk of its more middle of the road MPās on the altar of Boris at the last election. This has left them with many inexperienced MPās which, coupled with the rampant dishonesty and disregard for the rules/laws has seen them plummet. Boris and the Trusster have left bad tastes in peopleās mouths and while I think Sunak is a safer pair of hands than the other 2 on economic matters etc. Sunak certainly hasnt got the personality and the astuteness to be a Prime Minister, his choice of aides etc is extremely questionable given the debacle of the D Day business, Sky TV etc. if the Conservatives didnāt have the backing of GB News, Sky, The Times, The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express and the Telegraph heaven knows whereād theyād be in the polls. We defo need a strong opposition, but the current Conservative Party canāt stop arguing amongst itself yet alone scrutinise Labour. | | | |

It needs a reset. In this election theyāre fighting for second place with Reform for the red wall type seats and against the greens in the heartlands. How on earth are they supposed to create a manifesto to do that? | | | |

I just wonder if Reform get 3-4 points ahead of the Conservatives, will the British public get behind them and they form a real challenge to Labour in the last week. Meaning no overall majority for Labour. | | | |

They could get 6 million votes and only get three or four seats. They are currently projected to win zero. | |

I'm no advocate for Reform, but our current system could see them have millions of votes but be an irrelevance, and that isn't right. Farage will win in Clacton though I'm sure. My prediction is they then get adopted/take over/amalgamate with the Tories and become a further right wing Tory party once Sunak quits to watch Sky TV on July 5th. Under Prince Nigel and Princess Suella. That could finish them off eventually. I know I'm a stuck record but we have to have some form of PR and people actually have to vote. Especially those under 25/30. We also have to end donations to political parties from dodgy people and break the right wing stranglehold on the media but that's an entirely new thread.

I suspect that with a large majority, we could see some light being shone on the political donation issue and potentially some form of action taken against the press, potentially focussing on privacy. I fully expect to see Ofcom focussing a lot more scrutiny on GB News. | | | |
