Sorry but I don’t think that’s the case, recent YouGov polling shows Brits are overwhelmingly in favour of the restrictions and would even go further. 

 

I wonder how much of a “shy rule breaker” effect is in there. You’ll have plenty of armchair Dominic Cummings types advocating stricter rules but breaking them in practice.

It sounded like such good idea once upon a time. Now seems like a licence to believe any old twaddle.

Yep, there’s a big difference between critical thinking, and just making up and believing any old shite because it makes you feel like you’ve guessed the twist before the end of a film.

Lots of the libertarian MPs loving Sunak after he said his can't live in fear thing. He could well be the PM by the next election.

Waitrose isn’t full of the riff-raff so I’m not surprised compliance is higher in there 😂

likely by early next year methinks, Media has been paving the way for him for months, with their bizarre  “wow this man is so amazing!” Takes

Oh god, At the beginning of the pandemic, I thought Rishi was a stand out amongst a sea of fraudsters, but Rishi has become just as bumbling as the rest of them, yes his policies and financial help have done good. But disturbing how many people fall in love with a politician, because he's brave enough to do his job properly and do the bare minimum to help people in a pandemic.

Since then he has talking speaking exactly like bojo in court and starts every conference or speech with a ten minute summary of how ground breaking and world beating and how much money they spent of furlough and other measures. When in reality a lot of other countries didn't need to spend as much on financial help specifically for a pandemic because they already had great benfit systems in place already or just improved their already in place infrastructure. 

Also how quickly did Rishi change his tune from "we won't leave anyone behind" to "I can't save every job" and refusing to meet with the millions of self employed people he has excluded from furlough.

I predicted Gove v Hunt as the final 2 last time, ultimately they were 3rd and 2nd respectively. But that’s because Boris had much better support among the Brexiteers than I thought he would.

 

Wouldn’t rule out Sajid Javid or Hunt if the backbenchers think a clean break from the Boris administration is needed, but Sunak is the favourite for me. Gove is just a more competent Boris tbh

Gove is Cummings friend, I can see through scheming he ends up as the leader. Which is better as I reckon he’s worse in the eyes of the public.

Which is why he won't get picked for leader IMO. Tories know how to win.

Gove is definitely a clever bloke and a bit of a radical...but he doesn't have the shiny appeal of Rishi Sunak.

Plus, Sunak was put in there by Cummings.

Anyway, who knows what will happen. Cummings name might be mud after the economic armageddon we're heading into.

Yeah this. As far as I can see, the grumbling Tories hate Cummings more than Boris. If (and it's a big if - they still have a massive majority & they won't want to rock the boat just yet) there is a leadership contest, I reckon they'll want to distance themselves from any Cummings approved candidate.

I still think the biggie will come if & when there's a public enquiry & everyone gets to hear what an almighty fuck up they've made of it!

I actually meant to write Sunak's name might be mud...

I think Cummings already very unpopular amongst tory backbenchers. He probably doesn't give a shit though.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Still amazes me that people ever fell for it and thought Rishi was a good guy. He is a fucking Tory in this shower of c**ts. How could he be anything but a self serving arsehole?

My money is on Gove to take over actually. There's no election for bloody years. The people don't have to like him.
