Starmer is a better tory than most of the tories.

 

I can't see that ultimately working out any better either if they were in power.

 

That as it may be, he's pressed from a similar mould to the likes of Cameron, Major, Ken Clarke, Rory Stewart.

 

Today's Tory party bears little resemblance to that of 10-15 years ago.

But the point is, the Labour party are every bit as disjointed and dysfunctional as the tories, indeed possibly even more so, with him as leader epitomising that situation.

 

If they had a sniff of power they'd rip themselves to shreds due to infighting and disagreement about policy and political direction just the same as the tories are doing.

[Mick Dempsey]

They’re going to get more than a sniff of it pretty soon.

 

I’m so tired of people trying to wave away the collapse of the Tories and the governance of the UK into farce by trotting out the old ‘but Labour will be worse!’ 

[coppice cutter]

And some people thought we couldn't have a worse pm than Boris!

 

Never a good idea wanting rid of something just because you think that that what'll replace it just has to be better.

 

If Labour weren't such a complete political sh!t show themselves, the tories wouldn't be getting away with being this dreadful.

[Steve Bullman]

At this point it doesnt matter who gets in. Like most of the world, this country is on a way way trip to bankruptcy and collapse. Best case scenario is a party might be able to put off the inevitable for just a few months more.

Well we disagree on the character of Starmer, and that's OK, but I feel that after 3 new Tory PMs that haven't been elected, it's time the public had a vote.

Yeah for sure J but that BLM knee taking is enough for me to never acknowledge him as worthy of being PM. I look at the likes  of Wallace and Mercer etc as possible candidates but in reality I agree with a previous post in as much that the last couple of years fiscal insanity has proven to be the straw that broke the camels back. I’d say a shit storm is coming very soon and the nanny state won’t be there to pick up the pieces.

You couldn’t make it up, the very same people who put her in the job six weeks ago now want rid of her.

Consider this: Liz Truss sacked her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng for doing what she told him to do. But she has not sacked her new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt for undoing everything she told her Chancellor to do. Who voted for this idiot?  

[Doug Tait]

A tiny minority from a single political party voted for her.

The sacking/not sacking thing... she's not making the decisions now, but is doing whatever she's told to do in the hope of staying PM a little bit longer.
