Sunak was the only option for the Tories short term. The problem they have is that he is far from appealing to the electorate. He may gain tracton with policies in some quarters though his undoubted aim is to pass on as much money to the elites as is possible. Will he go all out in that before the next election or will he risk getting a second term?

I think his ego will push him towards thinking of a second term. Beyond him being so unappealing as a person, the big elephant in the room there is racism. Just as I think was his failing amongst Tory members when he was up against Truss, there are a lot of people out there who won't vote for him due to his colour and race.

If he was a personable candidate he would stand a chance, but he isn't. As to how much of a factor that will be we will see, but it most definitely is a factor even amongst Tory voters.

Wasn't Mordaunt a more personable candidate?

She would likely have delivered the same policies with either Sunak or Hunt as chancellor. I think they've made the wrong choice again.

But one thing in his favour, he's absolutely open and honest about who he is in politics to help.

More of that honesty please.

After one almost mature post, Billy quickly reverts to his norm.

Whereas yours never vary in nature.

Sounds like Belton is having another one of those periods where he takes offence at people posting facts.


What the f**k are you blathering on about now?

Yes, i think she is a better option for an election but don't think she had enough support amongst MPs right now and especially after the Truss fiasco, that was where Sunak won out.

Sunak will seem like a ‘breath of fresh air’ for the tories at the dispatch box after Bojo & Truss.

The avatar is unnerving, and I can't imagine him looking like anything but that in real life. It has been one of my dreams to meet the real BST in person even if only to slay that monster of an avatar and see the sweet human himself.

I agree, but I don’t think Starmer has it in him. Judging by the amount of open goals he’s failed to put away over the last two years, he’s not suddenly going to start scoring against a sturdy defence.

Have to agree. I think Raynor would have Sunak tied in knots. Will be an interesting watch when she gets the odd PMQ opportunities.

Starmer has seen off two Tory PMs so far. Judging by today's effort, I somehow don't see Sunak putting up much of a defence at PMQs.

Not that PMQs matters that much beyond political obsessives.

No, Sunaks big problem is the grim outlook for the economy.

Come on, Sydney, own up. You've been rumbled as a passionate lefty hating liberalist.

Don't be too ashamed; I liked Jo Swinson as well. Although in my case it was only her pendulous t*ts that impressed me.

Do you EVER offer an constructive comment Belton?

BobG

Again, Bobby Gee - try reading ALL the posts, you silly man.

Oh, and do you know how to construct an sentence?

Have you had anything you have ever written published by a national publisher Belton? I have. Have you had anything you ever have written placed in a university library as a reference work Belton? I have.

As I asked: have you EVER contributed a single costructive post? It's a logical  impossibility for you isn't it?

Sunak spunked loads of money on furlough , BBL etc. A lot didn't get paid back, even his wife's businesses bailed on certain government coffers committments.
The banks and markets were fine with this.

Johnson oversaw billions being spunked on dodgy PPE contracts and track and trace.
He then kept sending millions upon millions to Ukraine.
The banks and markets were fine with this.

Truss and kwasi wutang planned a little "mini budget" to lower some taxes for the plebbs but the banks and markets didn't like this.

They are stealing and funneling our money  and it's going to get a lot f**kin worse with the WEF puppet and his communist chancellor w**k sock in charge.

Levelling up, food banks.

When you say important question for Sydney, do you mean to be asked of or to be addressed?

Because if it’s the latter, get out of that sun my friend!!

If he tackles the inequality by genuinely addressing the above then he will be governing fairly and for all wouldn't you say Col? can't see it happening myself like. And just because he calls for unity in the tory party will in no way magically make all those problems disappear either. The fact that it's harder to make money for many many businesses in the UK due to brexit exacerbates the problems he has to deal with, but the fact that you have to ask shows you haven't really been paying attention?

I don't ever remember him being that good as chancellor. He gets very tetchy when challenged or corrected - as arrogant, over-entitled people tend to be. That was ignorable when you are presenting good news - but he wont be doing that very often. Mordaunt is much better.

Well perhaps we might say outlasted?

Still, Starmer did wipe the floor with Johnson at PMQs most weeks and he was the fella who started asking questions about party gate.

Truss I accept pretty much self destructed.

I was amazed last night watching the news. 

There was nearly as much time spent highlighting the fact he was not a white male and his heritage and religious beliefs.

Love him or loathe him, agree with him or disagree with him, trust him or distrust him. What the hell has his skin colour got to do with it. It is about him as a man, a politician and a leader. I for one don’t give a monkeys about his heritage.  All I’m bothered about are his capabilities. He’s a British male who has done well for himself

In my view it’s this type of unnecessary reporting that helps to fuel divide.

Did you ever see Starmer toying with Johnson at PMQ’s? It was like a cat playing with a mouse.
