The rise of ukip was dealt with very sensibly and gave them their 80 seat majority last time. Brexit being done effectively was the carrot for ukip to depart the polling booths and what a cluster f*** that’s been for most that wanted it. How many tory voters do you think defected to labour compared to reform. The Tories put very little effort into defending their positions so either they lost on purpose or weren’t bothered if they lost. There must be some big doo doo on its way for a party to put little to no effort in.
All Sunak had to do was get the RAF to get rid of a few thousand illegal migrants and he was a shoe in. Why he didn’t has to be questionable as other countries are doing it and the lords and legal aid mob would have no way to stop it. Think about that and realise that to get back in they need to turn right.

Lammy as Foreign Secretary....

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

For me, I suspect not much at all until October/November. If I understand things correctly, Parliament effectively goes on its summer recess almost as soon as go back so I cannot imagine much legislation.

Key, is what happens at the Labour Party conference. That is when they pulled the second referendum stunt back in November 2018 and when I suspect they might try it again. Or at least sound it out.

If my hunch is correct, they will sound it out and then push for a second vote in 2026, possibly doing it on the basis of three options rather than two.

What begins?.This is a non story riddled with supposition and inaccuracies.

Troup is not as described at one point 'an HMRC official,' he left that role many years ago. He is not even a civil servant any more he is retired.

He is also not an adviser to the Chancellor.

All he is saying is what everyone knows. Pensions as they stand are a huge cost and as such any government of any colour will always looks tbpe Sion reform.

As suspected yet again on here folks will always see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe.

That’s rather standard for you Willo. 😒

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Agreed
