New Tory leadership/ PM campaign - It's Theresa May

Despite (or because of) the accusations of xenophobia the policy on making firms say how many foreign workers they employ is quite popular, which is surprising considering Ed Miliband proposed it a few years before the Tories stole it.



They way it was announced was fucking appalling and even worse was the idea that once the increase in UK trained doctors are working in British hospitals then the foreign born ones will no longer be needed.

 

Current opinion polls:

Conservative 49%(!)
Labour 29%
Lib Dems 7%
UKIP 6%

 

I'm sure JEZ is going to pull it back any day now!

 

Let's see if he can get it down to 25% for Christmas!

 

There's three stories there.

1. Theresa SLAY.
2. UKIP DEAD.
3. Corbyn BOUNCE. LOL.

 

29% is a bounce? It's in the margin of error of Labour's lowest poll ratings isn't it?

 

I was being DEEPLY SARCASTIC.

 

Those polls are RIGGED. It's just part of a LARGER MEDIA CONSPIRACY

 

The only bounce Corbyn's going to experience any time soon is when he resumes rumpy pumpy with Big D.

 

Much SPECULATION of a SNAP ELECTION GOD FORBID.

 

It's a two sided coin for TEZZA. On one hand she'd get a personal and (no doubt vague) Brexit mandate. On the other Corbyn would HAVE to go (surely?) and then there is the potential for a far more interesting match.

 

But BIG DI says LABOUR will WIN!

 

Well if OUR DI says it.

Seriously I don't need TWO GENERAL ELECTIONS AND A REFERENDUM during the span of my degree.

 

The prospect of GEORGE FUCKING OSBOURNE and Nicky Morgan providing a more effective opposition to Terri is just surreal.

I've no idea what calibre of MP is being selected by the Tories in the marginal seats (Hard Brexit or neoliberal pink soft Brexit?) but maybe a bigger majority will mean Terri is liberated from the chains of disgraced Liam Fox and David DD Davis.

 

Indie's going iiiin!

 

That worked out well for her.

 

GOSH this thread is an interesting read in 2017

 

Loving the minor right wing outrage over the Queen's "EU hat"

 

This is amazing!

 

That's incredible.

 

So this bitch reckons she's staying on to fight the next general election. Oh I DO HOPE SO.

A couple of media training course away days and she thinks, she's the next Thatcher.

 

Surely they won't let her, but it would be the best thing ALL ROUND.

 

The Tories bring down their leaders at a whim. Her dismounting will probably be simple, quick and right after the cold sad mess that is Brexit leaves her dangling like a lynching victim.

 

How lovely!

Oh Jenny, what a beautiful baby! Who's the father? OH IT'S MY DAD'S

 

He's a stalking horse - they want to see how odious they can be whilst not losing the crowd. After fucking up a good few dodgy policies at the election, this is clearly the new strategy.

 

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a walking totem of the country's bizarre soft spot for these ludicrous upper-class toffs in politics, he could have turned up at Good Morning Britain and endorsed feudalism and people would still coo at him for being just like the people off Downton Abbey.

 

I know. It's one thing to boast about not helping Ofjacob around the house but this is some next level cuntery.

 

Absolutely. They are testing the waters to see how vile they can get away with being.

 

God I hate him. We're very close to the border with his seat so he pops up quite a lot on local tv and radio. And his niece was the Tory candidate here in May. She conveniently lied about living on his estate and her local connections, though.

 

I think it's probably overestimating the party's capacity for coordination on this to think this is a strategy rather than a sign of Jacob Rees-Mogg's all-consuming self-importance.

 

It might not be planned, but I wouldn't mind betting elements of the party are watching with interest.

 

I always just thought he was a posh twat, rather than a bigot via religion. We certainly don't need a Catholic PM.

 

His voting record BEGGARS BELIEF.

Well it would, if I didn't think he was such a massive bell-end already
