British Politics
Been on holiday for a few weeks, surprised to find no general discussion of British politics so though I'd kick one off.
Tory leadership contest is quickly turning into farce. Trump has backed Boris, which should be reason enough for anyone with half a brain to exclude him.
Of the other candidates Rory Stewart looks the best of the outsiders. Surprised to see Cleverly and Javid not further up the betting, but not sure the Tory membership are ready for a brown PM.

Regarding the LD leadership contest, Jo Swinson is miles ahead of any other candidate (and indeed any of the Tory lot). Should be a shoe in.
Finally, it's Groundhog Day in Labour - the more serious the anti-Semitism claims get, the more Corbyn's cronies write their own obituary by blaming it on outlandish conspiracy theories - this week, it's apparently the Jewish Embassy's fault...
See above
If you're saying uk has no value to trump then i disagree.
Minimal/negligible value then. Good for one's ego to parade around with a monarch on TV. Not sure how well that plays at home, though.
But I was referring to your remarks about Starmer.
That was bitter commenty not saracasm. It's very important to starmer to let trump know he will bend the knee
I dont agree on the other bit. We're a valuable asset to trump
Only if he intends to do some military stuff abroad, which last time around he showed little interest in.
In this respect Harris the prosecutor cop is more of a concern imo.
The new tory leader will help
It's going to be very interesting to see what he will do to save his own skin if it doesn't turn round in the next few years. Will he go left or further right?

He will go quietly imo. He's done the job he was chosen to do ie oust Corbyn and be completely useless while billionaires ransack what's left of public services. Lots of perks in the HoL. Will suit a gravy train slurper down to the ground.
Get ready for PM Reeves, god help us all.

Don't worry it won't take much to make it so that there are no billionaires left in the UK.
They will still visit and perhaps sometimes tip though, so not everything is lost.

'You shall be pm' the blair witches whispered in his ear convicning him that he would be great. Having believed it I'm not so sure he will go quietly. may need someone not born of women to oust him
"I am in blood / Stepped in so far, that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o'er "
Shakespeare references are always elite in this thread. Especially Macbeth.
Then there's this
Apparently ex-Tory MP Jonathan Gullis, crazed far rightist, has been complaining how hard he's finding it to get another teaching job.
LOL
Possibly the first time I've ever agreed with Tom ****ing Cleverly
He never imagined anyhting as batty as truss' reign but starmer is a classic macbeth tragedy in the making. They really did wisper in his were he he would be a great pm if he would just betray everyone and everything he belieevd in
If he doens't win the next election with a working majority then it will absolutely be a shakesperian tragedy. He really will have thrown away the greatest opportunity. The sort that comes about once a century.
Another candidate proudly parading his intelligence for all to see:
