Jan 2024 election?

Nah, it’ll mostly be a VONC in Sunak as Tory leader but he’ll win and carry on as normal.

I mean...Israel's response is arguably disproportionate as it is...don't think there's a need to fudge the numbers to make it look even worse...

Israel normally runs its revenge at about

Twenty to one.

Israel is talking about a hamas tunnel network in South Gaza now. So either their intelligence is ropy or they're lying to the world.

this has all come from Sunak's silly promise to STOP THE BOATS.

I remember when Jenrick was appointed, the media viewed him as a safe pair of hands to counter Suella as Home Secretary. That worked well.

What are you on about ?

Israel are now saying they're attacking south Gaza to wipe out the tunnels, same as they said for north Gaza, seems they don't know where the tunnels are.

Remember the days and days of commentary about Starmer losing the grip on his party? Well let’s see if the same happens now. 

3 headlines tonight from Guardian, Independent and Sky News:

"Robert Jenrick quits frontbench over Rwanda bill, piling pressure on Sunak"

"Robert Jenrick resigns as immigration minister over Rwanda in huge blow for Sunak"

and

"Rishi Sunak facing political fight of his life as he wars with right wing Tories over Rwanda bill"

Looks like pure opportunism to me. Jenrick looking for a top job in a Braverman led team.

I reckpn Braverman blew it with her hissy fit.

Reckon it will be Badenoch now. Mordaunt and Cleverly have a chance, but if they pick another right winger again I think Badenoch. Braverman won't make last two.

    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
