adopt sensible policies that appeal to the centre ground. Abandon rwanda, the war on the war on motorists, drill baby drill, all the red meat stuff that is appealing to the right but turning off the middle-ground, and instead deal with these real issues in a pragmatic, grown-up, responsible...

Guardian, Independent, Metro all lead with this story, unsurprisingly. Telegraph on the other hand has seven different stories on its front page but not this one. Also not on front page of the Times, nor any of the tabloids. Express does give it space to be fair. The 'news' is far more...

I can't help you on the latter as it was never going to work. I can't really help you in the former either, but it's frustrating because it should have been able to work. Of course the Tories are going way too far now trying to force it through by smashing international law, but the overall...

You're right, In the sense that having constituency MPs is clearly beneficial to voters, and also that the constituency system allows us to directly vote out dodgy individuals in a way that a party-list system does not. I believe the current polarisation of our politics and the underlying...

Thats absolutely outrageous

The SNP leaders questions were rather lovely

I hate to think how much he paid his accountants just for them to make these careless mistakes. Heart bleeds. (Love how he's trying to convince the country that he simply filled out his tax return incorrectly himself)

They did. Not really going to defend them them much on this particular issue, just they have said they would fund it, but not through personal taxes. They say that about many things though, but windfall taxes and nondom taxes will only get us so far. Still, I expect the economy will start...

Everyone complained? Arguably best thing Boris did. Labour front bench said they'd find other ways to pay for it, other than that the only people i saw complaining were Truss and Kwarteng.

But obviously not through pausing tax cuts, or applying a windfall tax on profits, but just by borrowing another 100 million that we'll all be paying off for generations

Haha! We've just lived through our version of Trump, now we're going to get George Bush in a skirt.

This aged well :ffsparr: Truss, jeez...

Yeah but she won't get to the membership with those two as her primary backers. I agree that the more right wing candidate will win the members vote, which is why its the job of the MPs to make sure the most right wing ones are filtered out beforehand. Although I wouldn't put it past them to...

I was a little concerned that Truss would win, as she would be an absolutely dreadful prime minister, but having seen that her major supporters are the comedy duo of Dorries and Rees-Mogg I'm sleeping a bit easier. Hilarious to see them on the news claiming that Truss is even more of a...

That's all true. It does feel like we SHOULD have more of a say though, no? Lot of power in the PM, he isn't just one MP leading a bunch of other MPs who are his equals. He has complete control over who is in his cabinet, and therefore control of policy. I've just realised that in my 48 young...

I thought he might have called an election, just to ensure that whoever replaced him as Tory leader won't be prime minister. But maybe he's not as spiteful as I thought

An election right now at this moment would be an astonishing thing. The Tories would do well to get 100 seats. A sight to behold

Him calling an election won't make any difference to his leadership of the Tory party, they'll still kick him out, he won't fight the election as their leader

I just think it's a shame we won't get to vote the lying c*nt out ourselves now.

Have you looked at the satellite image underneath that :lolol: I'm not saying its made up, but the Mirror has absolutely chosen this non-entity of a place that the locals don't even know, rather than saying 'near Helston' like every sane-minded publication would, because it has a funny name with...
