Sunak's essential problem is that he seeks to appeal to moderate voters put off by Boris Johnson, but his views on things like the environment and the role of the state are actually further from theirs than Johnson's.

The best way to stop judges preventing you from breaking the law is to stop trying to break the law.

Reminder that leaving the ECHR would breach the Good Friday Agreement, and end law enforcement cooperation with the EU.

The House of Lords is getting very tired of Govt Bills that are cruel, illegal and unworkable. We know that we are often wasting our time, hours, days, weeks, trying to improve such legislation, but what choice do we have?

Our ‘system’ is thoroughly broken. We need a written constitution and a judiciary independent of political influence, public, not private funding of political parties, and PR as a minimum.
Currently we are an oligarchic and corporate playground not a democratic nation

The more I reflect , the more I think we should push back against the outrageous bullying of the Brexiters. It’s failed. Democracies change their minds. We need Europe. Europe needs us. It matters that the Brexit case was built on lies by a man banned from the Commons for lying.

Worth reading again… The title and every single line.

You forgot normalisation of lying in government and enabling media, cronyism in public appointments/abuse of honours, corruption in public contracting, shittification of seas and rivers, loss of power and standing in the world due to own goal, and much much more.They’ve got to go

Irvine Welsh British Gas, British Rail, Royal Mail, water, BT, housing: our great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, then us, paid into them. They were our investment and inheritance. They were sold without consent or compensation. And now the NHS is being stolen. Privatisation is theft.

Just why did the Conservatives put this man in power who was prepared to overrule security advice? His appointment as PM was a catastrophic error of judgement.

The fiction that privatisation of a utility is “for the people”, to keep bills competitive has been totally dismantled. Nationalise the utilities.

Corporate greed playbook:

💵Load company with debt

⬆️Dividends, exec pay and debt finance up

⬇️Investment, worker pay and customer service quality down

💀Company goes bust

💰Shareholders and execs walk away with millions

🏛️Taxpayer picks up the pieces

🤢 Rinse and repeat.

It simply beggars belief that Sunak has spent the last few days saying he's doing the unpopular thing on public sector pay because he needs to curb government spending when he's also doing this which won't work and is just for headlines. Billions for headlines.

Boris Johnson committed a “clear and unambiguous breach” of the ministerial code by taking up his role as a Daily Mail columnist without first seeking the advice of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments. Lord Pickles, ACOBA chair, says Johnson was familiar with the

Why did we allow the Tories 1993 to sell off British Rail to 100+ privately owned companies?

Result? 23.5% train fare increase in real terms.

Infrastructure falling apart. Huge dividends to fat-cat shareholders.

Shameful.

Imagine bringing in an import tax on EU food items now, on top of everything else, on top of undercutting your own industries with your ridiculous Australia deal. The Tories would rather see the country fail than Brexit… it’s the culture war sop that just about keeps them alive.
