Short of Rishi Sunak telling the voters they’ve never had it so good I’m not sure how he could have dealt with recent economic news worse. Looking at recent polling there’s no feel-good factor which chimes in with report in The Guardian Ahead of autumn’s party conference season, Labour is planning a dual attack on Sunak for appearing out of touch with voters’ concerns, and his vulnerability to calls from backbench Tories for unfunded tax cuts that could lead to “Truss Mark…
I am utterly amazed by the near messiah like hold Donald Trump has on the GOP, the above polling is just further confirmation. With Trump’s ongoing legal contretemps and his argument that this is all a witch hunt no wonder his support with the GOP base seems to rise with every indictment, so it makes me comfortable in backing him. I’m also convinced laying Trump for the Presidency is a sound strategy, simply because of the below polling, I think…
Yes, the headline is a shameless attempt to enter the QTWTAIN hall of fame/shame but it does raise an interesting point. MI5 are the best intelligence agency in the world, they have form for infiltrating organisations who wish break up and destroy the United Kingdom, famously with the IRA and prior to that the world changing Double-Cross system in World War II when every German agent in the UK was turned, so it would be no surprise if MI5 infiltrated…
England’s senior teams qualifying for football world cup finals are rarer than a decent Radiohead album or Boris Johnson telling the truth so the Lionesses reaching today’s world cup final is a pretty special occasion which is why the country wants Prince William to be there in Sydney this morning. The royals have erred in not sending somebody to Australia, you know the royals have screwed up badly when even the pro-monarchy Daily Mail criticises Prince William’s failure to attend….
Rishi Sunak’s use of helicopters is an issue that really shouldn’t matter in normal circumstances however Sunak’s handling over the issue is proving to be a problem. Watch the video above and listen to a recent interaction between Sunak and a journalist over the use of helicopters. Sunak, not for the first time, sounds very petulant and arrogant. During the white heat of a general election campaign Sunak will come under more scrutiny on more serious subjects and he needs…
Nothing reminds me more of how Rishi Sunak lost to Liz Truss than Sunak’s utter failure on dealing with the Channel crossings. This is a battle Sunak is losing quite badly and publicly. Sunak’s stop the boats pledge, like the Maginot Line, was designed to reassure a country about it’s safety and security, but had a huge flaw. Not only is it the failure to stop the crossings, it is the resultant calamities such as the Legionella outbreak on the…
The grass is green and the balls are yellow. This is a hill I am prepared to die on. Roger Federer said the balls are yellow, case closed unless you genuinely think you know more about tennis than Roger Federer. TSE
I was speaking to a former political strategist recently and they wondered if Sunak’s five pledges, particularly his tackling the small boats targets, would be as damaging to Sunak as George Bush Snr’s ‘Read my lips, no new taxes’ moment. Based on this polling the country has very little faith in Sunak’s five pledges being met. TSE
