Dodgyknees Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The concern is we could get Patel next, who is possibly just as dangerous if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the eat out to help out - which increased COVID - cut fuel duty - but the price rise out stripped it - seems to make a lot of mistakes.

If so, I'm sticking with my prediction of 'no brown people with funny foreign names'. Only when get whittled down to 2 IIRC. Until that stage the MPs vote as to who is picked. Nice to have a say in who will be the next PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 One thing is for sure, Johnson filled his cabinet with top talent to choose from for the vacant position. Dorries, Zahawi, Braverman, Raab, that one who lasted a day before resigning. The list really is endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've spunked so much of our money into their chums' offshore accounts already. The majority are really shafted long term, whilst the finance parasites lick their lips and chuck wads at Bentleys and watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Like many on here, I managed to reach the ripe old age of my mid twenties before seeing the fourth prime minister in my lifetime take office. My daughter (unbeknownst to her) is now witnessing her fourth PM take charge. She’s six. Edited July 7, 2022 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Sunak would hopefully not lose because of his skin colour, rather his wife's ties to Russia, his fine for partying during lockdown and his obvious flaws connected to high finance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently if anyone other than Boris was in charge we'd all be living on the streets as energy costs would be £40k a month, with fuel prices at £400 per gallon. I can't believe that some MP's are still supporting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 7, 2022 17 minutes ago, Davkaus said: I wonder who's next. Climate-change denying Steve Baker has thrown his hat into the ring. Borius was a danger to the British economy and our reputation on the global stage. Steve Baker in a senior government position is a threat to humanity. He's got no chance, regardless of the politics, there's a good chance he won't even get elected at the next election. His Wycombe seat is a very interesting watch. He's been losing vote share for a while, his majority is only 4k now, Labour in a very poor election year did maintained their vote in Wycombe and the LibDems increased too, tactical voting in that seat and he's toast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
