Just saw the nonsense about national service in the #UK that the #Tories have come out with. 🙄 I presume this is primarily designed to get the attention (& votes) from old codgers who come out with shite like "Young people today don't know how good they have it!" and "In my day we did our national service barefoot uphill in the snow in both directions & it never did us any harm, I'll have you know!"
“Labour has said there will be no rises in income tax or National Insurance if it wins the general election - but some spending cuts have not been ruled out”
…The UK has be ransacked, looted & vandalised by the tories for the last 14 years
Sunak takes a "day off", and this is what he comes up with.
Tory twattery. Might appeal to the 80-year-olds, but it's not going to win them any votes in the 18-25 age group. Or anyone who isn't likely to die in the next decade...
“Under Ofcom rules, Conservative MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Esther McVey, as well as former Tory deputy chairman-turned Reform MP Lee Anderson, are unable to continue in their presenting roles while they seek re-election”
Desperate #Sunak tries to revitalise flailing campaign by opting for a swipe at his favourite punchbag - teenagers.
Not content with suggesting they study maths until 18, be banned from having a smart phone, banned from yesterday’s vice of smoking…he now wants them to plug the gaps carved out by #Tories in NHS and military for free…so he can get the vote of their grandparents
As Michael Gove joins the nearly quarter of Tory MPs standing down at the election, the joke that 'would the last person leaving the Tory party please turn off the lights' seems to be ever more apposite.
For many Gove's departure will be welcome, but it also reinforces the notion that the post-election Tory party may be very different from its most recent manifestation.
The Q. will be, will they swing further to the right, shift to the 'centre', of collapse into fragments?
@TallVenti That depends on the independent -dont assume they are better just because you dislike the other parties
Equally some "#labour" candidates are #tories with red rosettes - literally in the case of #NatalieElphick and one other
@TallVenti
I agree about independents - mixed bunch, due diligece required
As for #NatalieElphicke , I dont want to vote for a party where nasty racist #tories are welcome but leftwingers and those objecting to genocide are vilified
You may consider it a "blinder" , I consider a stupid, childish prank and a sign that #Starmer is an unprincipled opportunist with no moral compass
