I remember ehrn the Tories didn't give us a GE and how much the Labour front bench whinged and said it was outrageous and how they represented a new kind of politics.
These people from the shrinking comfortable middle saying “a little bit off your energy bill” etc, are so completely tone deaf. The problems are deep and structural, requiring urgent fundamental reform not patronising BS about “putting a little bit of money in people’s pockets.”
I agree that things need to be made easier for workers but not at the expense at small businesses. Bigger business need to pay higher tax and regulate international transfer pricing to stop moving profits.
Bouncy enthusiasm said Tigger. Bouncing is what Tiggers do best. With a fair wind, he might be capable of running the country too.
Time to pray methinks.
A Sky journalist at the Liz Truss C-Pac event was asked of the thin crowd.."where's the crowd at it's densest" to which the journalist replied "Where ever Nick Ferrari is stood" 😆
No Prime Minister has a mandate in the UK other than that of their constituant MP status. What many people confuse as a PM mandate is not it is the mandate of being the leader of the largest party in Parliament. If that leader changes the mandate of being the leader of the biggest party passes to the replacement leader. We do not have Presidential style elections in the UK and no MP stands on every ballot in every constituency even the eventual PM is only standing for one seat in Parliament.

Spot on, Theo. He's got the energy, but without a clear national mandate, he might run out of credits faster than he thinks.

Burnham stepping into Number 10 is a massive power move, but that mandate question is the real final boss here. Definitely feels like a high-stakes level change for the country. Do you think he’s actually got the credits to pull this off, or is he walking into a game over?
