The Flip-Flopping Starts In Earnest!

10 days after the catastraf*** that was the Fiscal Event…..

Sounds like she’s lost the Parliamentary party already.
Well, we knew it was going to be a roller-coaster ride…..Lol.
How to install confidence in Britain and the markets eh?

What a shambles.

[drmorgans]

Well they deserve to lose the next election if their candidate selection is so slipshod.

Drmorgans, You, like me and Fatticusinch, haven't a clue who this politician is so you can hardly claim their candidate selection is slipshod. I'd hazard an educated guess that the people who voted for the anonymous subject of this conversation don't have a clue who he is either. The 'Red Wall' put their 'x' next to the Conservative candidate not because they were voting for those people on any personal level but firstly because Jeremy Corbyn and his motley crew weren't an option for anyone with an iota of common sense, and secondly, Boris was offering what they wanted - and that's what they voted for. I have friends in the north - lifelong Labour voters - who I advised to hold their noses if necessary as they did it - and do it they did - and for those very reasons. It's an unsavoury truth for some here to accept but nevertheless it is the truth.

[drmorgans]

Corbyn was an aberration. I really don't know what Labour were thinking. However his constituents say he did a good job for them. Maybe he should have staying doing that.

[naomi24]

He's still doing it, isn't he? I understood that he's still in the House of Commons but as an Independent.

[drmorgans]

Yes. I meant stayed as a constituency MP.

[naomi24]

I think he still represents the same constituency and will until at least the next General Election when, presumably, unless Labour has him back, he'll stand as an Independent. No doubt if I've got that wrong someone will come along and tell me.

You, like me and Fatticusinch, haven't a clue who this politician is
a very welcome declaration of ignorance, and rare if I might say so

so you can hardly claim their candidate selection is slipshod.
erm no complete non sequitur - you cd look at the process alone and not the product. And so - just picking the first candidate to register would be slipshod, and you wouldnt have to see who got the (first prize)

It's an unsavoury truth for some here to accept but nevertheless it is the truth.
yeah the usual AB boolshot masquerading as the gosple troof

Now yes - did anyone notice that Liz Truss was trying to commit Tory suicide over pensions today?
I dont know what process he is using
but it ( the process) is certainly turning up trumps.....

[Peter Pedant]

yeah foo as they say on AB
no one needs to stab Liz Truss in the back
she seems to be doing a good enough job stabbing heself in the front!

er this thread is about ELizaveta making a mess of things?
It is? I thought so....

[Untitled]

it is fairly obvious if you look at their behaviour that many of the "red wall" tory candidates were scraped together at last minute on the basis of quantity over quality... they are not an impressive bunch

Yes, just like Pincher.

Some are clearly pinning their hopes on the Blond Messiah(emphasis on the Mess) making a comeback but it’ll never happen, so they’ve gone from sleaze to shambles in quick-fashion.
