Just how long HAS Rishi been plotting to take No 10?

[Colemans Left Hook]

Sunak has released a slick video pushing his claim to be next PM.
It also promotes his 'Ready for Rishi' website. The domain name for 'Ready for Rishi' was purchased in Dec2021, a few days after the pics of the Garden Party in Downing St were leaked.
Coincidence?

thanks to mugnapper for the initial post   - but this topic deserves its own thread

just how long has "Sun -Pat" been "raisin" his hope of becoming PM ?

Just who leaked those photo's ?  surely  it isn't really that taxing to work out

and as for the phrase " non dom" it suddenly becomes "non domain"

"Just how long HAS Rishi been plotting to take No 10? Ex-Chancellor registered his leadership website domain name in December - four days after Boris Johnson's wine and cheese Partygate photo was published

    Records on DomainTools show that his website – readyforrishi.com – was registered on December 23, 2021

Does it say in the Daily Heil that they took at story from Robert Peston who discovered it on Friday?

If it wasn't for the yellow press johnson would have been long gone or maybe not offered the role

[BillyStubbsTears]

His campaign isn't THAT polished though.

When you release a hostage statement, you're supposed to put a paper with today's date under their chin. As it is, how do we know that this, clearly terrified, MP is safe?

Is it just me, or does Sunak look like Norman Wisdom?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Speaking of people's well-being, I do hope Selby is OK.

I'd have thought he'd be all over this betrayal. Stabber Sunak and all that. I can only assume he's not well.

 i see what you mean

in that Norman Wisdom's pet phrase was "swinging , dodgy"

since Sunpack "social distances from his wife" he could be" alleged" to have "the opportunity" for the former   and he certainly is the latter

What's clear is that there's no unifying candidate to replace Johnson .

Something I suspect is the main reason Johnson survived as long as he did as PM .

The Conservative Party are in deep trouble , to prosper the Conservative Party have to create enemies only this time the only enemies are each other .

I'll give Keith some credit he's managed to lead the opposition without offering up anything the Tories can make stick and allow them to paint the picture of " an enemy of the state " .

He's managed to offer up absolutely nothing to support him either in my opinion but inadvertently perhaps he's taken the wind so much out of the government they've absolutely nothing to regroup behind .

This may look like an inspired tactic by Keith but what happens when the election campaign starts in earnest, this guy, the leader of the opposition has managed to duck under the radar so long he almost disappeared, it would not surprise me  in the least to think that all the hoorah in Durham was not a carefully planned and scripted episode to get this faceless man into the public domain and generate some publicity for this grey leader.

This is the Labour party, they have been handed a once in a lifetime opportunity to really stick it to the Tories and make a very strong case for anything that is not Tory to run away with the next GE, instead what do we have, Keith too scared to announce any sort of policies, ideas or opinions on anything in case it attracts attention that he can't bat away. We've just had the worst possible leadership demonstrated in what could turn out to be the worst times for this country since the general strike of 1926 and he's still hiding under the coattails of the ginger manc.

What do we have to do in this country to get some decent and representative government?

[SydneyRover]

conspiracy theories to boot aye

[BillyStubbsTears]

Still reckon you're politically neutral DD?

Tyke.

Sounds like you are slowly starting to get the plan.

Easy to forget now, but just three years ago, Corbyn had taken Labour to its lowest polling share in a century and a vote share of 13% in an actual national election. He'd lost something like 5 million supporters to the Greens and LDs in the space of 4 months.

It's astonishing how that is simply airbrushed out of recent left wing history, but it's a fact.

Starmer forcing through a Ref2 policy in summer 2019 (with help from McDonnell by the way, who was tearing his hair out at Corbyn's full on embracing of Brexit) was essential to save Labour from annihilation in the 2019 General Election. I get that you don't agree because that lost YOUR support. But the point is that for every one of you, the were 4-5 other Labour supporters who were actually rejecting or considering rejecting the party because of Corbyn's position. Ref2 policy was essential to prevent a full on implosion of the Labour vote. Yes, they might have got you and Branton to vote for them in 2019 with a Brexit policy. But they'd have been lucky to get 20% of the national vote and 100 seats.

You may disagree, but before you do, go and look at the 2019 opinion polls.




Look at that graph. Remember that Corbyn embraced full on Brexit in Jan 2019. And look at how Labour's share collapsed and the LDs rose. Then from Jun 2019, Corbyn was put back in his box. And in Sept 2019, Lab Conference adopted Ref2 as policy.

Look at the graph. Think what would have happened without that change of policy.

If you are going to understand Starmer's work over the past 2 years, you've got to start from that understanding.

The Starmer project has 4 stages.

1) Saving Labour from suicide in 2019.

2) From 2020, distancing himself from Corbyn and "de-toxifying" the party in the eyes of people who should be potential Labour supporters but who rejected it because of Corbyn.

3) Turning fire on the Tories and hopefully fatally wounding them.

Thats brought us to today.

Stage 4, from this autumn, will be the rolling out of policies.

You just need to step back and see the big picture.

Had Sunak insisted that Johnson take up a policy that led to his, and the party's downfall and then replaced him as leader and backtracked on those policies, Sunak could be called a stabber.  As it stands, he's no more a stabber than Gary McSheffrey was to Richie Wellens.

Stabber Starmer, on the other hand..........

BB.
No, Sunak only resigned stating that he was doing so to force his boss out.

Whereas Starmer saved Corbyn's party from an electoral annihilation in late 2019.

I know you struggle with logic when you get in this mood, so let me spell it out in condescendingly simple terms.

Labour got hammered in 2019.
Labour had Starmer's Ref2 policy.

That doesn't mean Labour got hammered BECAUSE OF the Ref2 policy.

Nor does it mean that they would have done better without that policy.

Nor does it mean, right...stick with me...nearly there...that Starmer was trying to do Corbyn in via that policy.

Sunak, on the other hand, overtly and deliberately resigned in a way that was calculated to finish off Johnson.

Got it?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Meanwhile.

Remember all those Tories who said Labour spending plans were unaffordable because there's no magic money tree? Those who said that unless we balance the books, the country would go bankrupt?

They're going to go mad when they see these PM candidates saying they'll cut taxes by upwards of £100m and not explain how they will pay for it.

[Filo]

There’s going to be back stabbing onna scale never seen before in this leadership contest, everyone of them is tarred with the Johnson brush except Tom Tugenant

Yes, I've got it BST. Always have. What you've yet to get, though, is that kidding yourself is a lot easier than kidding me.

Hmmm. Interesting now to look both at the details of this article - but also the date of it - they day before he registered the website CLH mentions in the OP:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/22/brazen-treachery-rishi-sunak-sabotaging-boris-johnson-policies

Hmmm...

I see that bst has soon forgotten the furlough scheme that Sunak introduced that helped him negotiate his business through the covid epidemic.

i have evidence he is a closet conservative either that or an "infiltrator" into the party

 the question is what was BST doing there ???

[Colemans Left Hook]

You want his number CLH? I was talking to him yesterday.

by combining "your definition of him" and "my definition of you" we have "common ground"

could say "one kitson talking to another kitson"   

lest we forget hesaid he was speaking (well maybe listening) to him last week at a Conservative doo

[drfchound]

Aha, maybe Labour do send spies into Conservative territory.

Right on, Raven. All us old'ns know that Norman Wisdom's usual line was "Mr Grimsdale".

[ravenrover]

Interesting to hear Javid say that the final 2, himself included if he made it, should declare their tax details. He then went on to declare when he worked abroad he paid tax abroad but since entering politics he has paid tax in the UK Very pointedly he refused to comment on other candidates position ie Sunak, Zahawi that is for them to decide mmmm!

Raven, as I said yesterday:

“I have realised what a shitty job it must be to do and that everyone, including political supporters of all persuasions, put their spin onto anything that they can to sway things their way.”

#allthesame.

I am not surprised that he didn’t want to talk about Sunak.
Very dignified in my opinion.

[wilts rover]

Apparently Penny Mordaunt has released a slick video that is gaining a lot of plaudits.

Apparently Penny Mordaunt is having to go back and edit the slick video as she didn't know you had to have permission to use other people's copyrighted material or images of them in anything you publish.

Apparently Penny Mordaunt wants to run the country.

Get Ready For Rishi

My father in law is a billionaire founder of a gigantic Indian tech firm who outsourced all your kids jobs to India .

I've got a US Green Card so as to edge my bets and do one over the Atlantic at any time .

My wife is not British and doesn't pay UK taxes .

You might also remember I was fined along with Johnson for breaking Covid rules .

I've literally wasted billions of pounds of your money on a track and trace system that didn't work .

I spent £4.9bn on an eat to help out programme that caused a huge spike in covid infections and so prolonged the furlough scheme and allowed even more billions of pounds to be fraudulently claimed .

I've increased  taxation in this country to its highest level since 1947 .

I remained loyal to the previous PM right to nearly the very end when I could no longer support him any more although I registered the domain " Get Ready For Rishi " last December .

[SydneyRover]

how do you get that message through to those that think they are all the same?
