An early GE seems very likely - but I think most of us knew this when they got rid of Boris. Truss wasn’t voted in, nobody really wants her - even many in her own party it seems.
At least Starmer wants to build a state owned energy company!

Yeah right, I can see them voting themselves out of a job earlier than absolutely necessary.

An interesting article Cinders. Although it focused on the Tories, the lack of the role of Labour’s own position and activities, for me, was an unfortunate omission.
I thought I’d just ‘Bob in’ and have a quick skem, but I found myself reading it until the end.
What an interesting and exact piece of writing, although there were a couple of long words I didn’t understand (I’m only a secondary school educated miners son from Yorkshire) But it certainly made a lot of sense to me, and just shows how we are manipulated by the politicians aided by the media to abandon long held beliefs.
So where do we go from here I ask myself?
Those long held beliefs prevented me from voting for Boris and the conservatives despite me wanting to exit the EU so I voted for some no hoper from some obscure independent party.
I had thought about not voting at all in the next general election, but I enjoy the walk down to the polling station, so I shall select some other ‘no hoper’ and vote for them. I couldn’t possibly vote for labour after the mess the last lot left us in. And I don’t like the look of the slimey Sir Keir…Although his thoughts on nationalising the energy companies sounds like a plan…He might also consider Transport and utilities also, there is far too much foreign interference in national institutions already and I doubt that will change anytime soon.

There are over 1,530,000 registered unemployed in the UK - perhaps it’s them …

Save the Children estimates there are over 870,000 stay-at-home mums in England who would prefer to work if they could arrange good quality childcare which is convenient, reliable and affordable. That’s half of all out of work mums in the country.
Perhaps it’s them …

Perhaps Putin has used a load of conscripts to create false email addresses and got them to vote.

Yes childcare is a huge issue - even up here. This needs to be addressed (along with a myriad of other things)

Well whaddya know? Nadine has come to the rescue
Her attack on Truss will have given the new cabinet a degree of credibility which wasn’t there before Nadine opened her mouth.
