Thinly veiled threats to continue the dismantling of the NHS and attacks on peoples wellbeing and mental health. Is this what the country wants? Has the world just turned into one giant episode of the Apprentice? I reduced the NHS spend by £4b by stopping most cancer treatments. Where’s my bonus?

Good point. 3rd unelected Prime Minister in a row in the last 6 years is it now? I can’t keep count with how unstable the Tories are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Surely for the love of McGrath we’re not going to end up with Liz fu**ing Truss as PM?!? Think I might just end myself there and then if this comes to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a massive problem with the process - the candidates are pitching to a small group (relatively) that is wholly unrepresentative of the wider country or electorate, and so they are essentially obliged to pitch their message to a narrow set of interests and prejudices and beliefs in order to get the job, even if they don't actually believe what they say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apprentice bit was more about the type of society we live in. Brand, Flex, success, money, money, lies, lies, lies, undeserving horrible people getting to the top etc… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll come down to Sunak and one of the lesser known that can distance themselves from the recent shit show as much as possible. Probably Mordaunt.
