Hi All,
A bit of political opinion. Sunak is slick and as arobaticTony Blair, but he is too much of a bank manager, rather than a real leader or someone with confident charisma in his own right. He is basically there to keep the seat warm & try to manage things for Labour to take over, to wit we will be in the EU within a few years. Not surprising given the relentless propagandaof the broadcast media, the Guardian and others as well as permament obstruction from the woke civil service & the targeting of anyone remotely conservative under the accusations of 'bullying' , who are still in the Blairite mould, of which that creature is certain to make a comback after his disasterous war in Iraq. In fact I think the labour leftists and co are going to be disappointed by Starmer or we are all going to be in shock if he goes far left. But I can't sense anyone wants more leftish woke. It is just that people feel they are fed up of the conservative party and that it has failed. It is continuing in a mixture of neo-liberal policies, when there is a worldwide drift away from such ideas. It isn't conservative in the social sense of community or family values either. It has failed on Brexit. Maybe we need Labour to go on full woke as a way of overturning the blob and the whole rotten thing? That's if we aren't all nuked beforehand.
In any case back to Sunak, who has managed to break all of his own rather modest pledges, but thinks that we just have to sit back and accept the 'pain' over mortgage rate rises, while the Governor of the Bank of England slams people for wanting to have pay rises at inflation or above. This is the guy who earns over £500,000 a year, courtsey of the same taxpayers he is hammering. Oh and it is his and Sunak's fault for this mess in the first place. As it was put to Sunak on Sunday, he is living in alternative universe.
At this rate the Tories will be out of power for a long time, because what they've done is appease no one. They tried to keep house prices high by not building, but at the same time allowing half a million people to enter the country in net terms. That means a population the size of Leeds every year coming into the country. How is this a sustainable trajectory? And incidentally I would suggest the real thing isn't the gap between the rich and the poor, but the gap between those who have a stake in the system and those that don't. If more people can buy their own homes, it produces more people who do have a care for the system, but if almost no-one can own their own property, then this means that the siutation is ripe for turmoil and far left or far right politics, as people simply don't care about preserving the status quo. Hence a key motivator of Brexit. If people can own their own homes, which by logical extension means people becoming more wealthy, they will naturally become more conservative and this is the foundation of the conservative party. Having failed to do that, then the conservatives represent... who?
