UK General Discussion: Rishecession

If this continues how long until we have to invoke 'America is a better place to live than the UK now'? I presume during the winter if Hunt has any substantial power and the NHS crashes.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to just wade in another country's internal politics like that...

IMO, the only things Boris really cared about were promoting bike lanes and helping Ukraine.

For the millionth time… if the election was today yes. It’s in 2 years.

Labour ceilling will be 350-360 once the election comes around

This could have been said in 1995 too. Not saying a Labour 1997-style landslide is a sure thing, but the huge damage inflicted on the Tory brand over the past few weeks is not going to go away immediately.

Labour led by any where from 15% to 35% (with the vast majority being over 20%) between 1995 and 1997. The final result was Labour +12.5… and that was with a political titan like Tony Blair.

Unfortunately the conservatives putting party before country is going to pay off for them (just like the GOP)

The Doomers have gone international.

Theresa was the only Tory PM in my lifetime whose failures weren't entirely caused by self-inflicted wounds.

The butthurt continues: Johnson backer comes out in favour of a general election, citing Sunak's lack of a "mandate" (as per BBC liveblog).

There have been a couple of claims like this from Johnson loyalists. The only MPs to come out so far are Chope and Dorries - who both have majorities so large they’d probably survive if we went to the polls tomorrow. Johnson’s supporters in seats with less than a 20,000 vote majority have notably stayed silent.

The other calls come from members of the Lords (like Johnson ally Zac Goldsmith), who don’t have to face reelection.

Notably - any Johnson loyalist who could realistically hold ministerial office again has instead rallied behind Sunak.

Goldsmith would have been a good PM choice, tbh.

Will there also be a Sunak government crisis?

At some point, yes.

I don't see why people expect Rishi to fail. The electricity generated by Churchill spinning in his grave should be enough to deal with the energy crisis.

Rishi didn't do terrible, although I guess that's only compared to Truss.

Wait I'm sorry why are people shocked that a near-billionaire would pay money for better healthcare?

Why are people complaining about studying math until they are 18? I thought that was standard practice?
