And they so very badly need to learn that lesson, yes. Hopefully this nonsense motivates a new generation of young people forming a habit of voting, and of voting against the Conservative Party.

The Conservative Party is notoriously unforgiving of leaders who lose general elections, and currently pathologically addicted to leadership elections. I'd be very surprised if he's not gone by the end of the year even if he does exceptionally well in the general election.

Very much so, yes.

Well in that sense, they've been remarkably successful. Literally billions of public money gone through the VIP lane and unrepaid business loans during covid. Nearly every tax cut giving more money to the already well off and less to below average earners. Wealth inequality soaring to help them feel superior.

OK, but he did claim he was going to stay on as an MP. Come to think of it, that's a bit of an admission that he's going to lose the election and then be replaced as leader of the Conservative Party.

Hopefully considerably less powerful soon.

It's only a story because it's so incredibly rare that members of the public get the chance to criticise his crazy policies to his face, in terms ordinary folk can relate to.

Ah yes, because another five years of the Conservative Party is just what the country needs. Spoken like a true leftist.

Alongside squawkbox, it's one of the popular media outlets designed to appeal to left wing folks that regularly work to oppose the Labour Party (who they call "red tories") winning.

I had a leftist explain to me earlier that it would be better for Boris to win because Labour was too right wing and it would put people off voting for a properly leftist party if the centrists got into power again.

It's not just Brexit, it's also austerity and stealth austerity, massive and chronic cuts to public services, stagnation of minimum wage, underfunded NHS and health and social care, underinvestment, Trussonimics, waste of government money on contracts for cronies (aka the VIP lane) and of course don't forget systematic, sustained and deliberate suppression of wages in the public sector alongside deregulation and lack of regulation in the private sector in the face of the growth of the gig economy, which is just tech companies circumventing almost all laws about workers rights. But yes, definitely Brexit too.

The truth is that Rishi Sunak is very happy to sacrifice the young to bad outcomes because he doesn't think they'll vote for him anyway so he can punch down without fear of electoral impact.

I don't see anything correct in spending £20k of their election budget on a logo. No one likes new logos and everyone thinks they're not worth the money. Well thank goodness this one is!
