The tories are no longer seen as competent economically.

In fact labours record is far better and that claim is a myth.

The tories hits to household budgets are going to hurt and it will be enough to defeat them imo.

Then don't?

Non answer. Either someone is ignoring lockdown laws or they aren't. You bending over when your 'favs' do it, and being outraged when women do it on account of the rape and murder of a young lady is just shows you up to be a sniveling suck up and hypocrite. Principles aren't principles when they exist solely around your own interests.

Not at all. I've posted multiple times (including today) of how they're all at it. What you actually mean here is 'why not let my preferred party off'. Well no, if you set the rules, you get to abide by them.

The behaviour itself is a glaring example of not running the country responsibility and feeds into how extreme the 'them and us' has become. Throughout the whole pandemic there have been endless examples of contracts for mates, rules that kept us away from seeing and mourning loved ones, and restrictions to business and person that apparently we now learn are entirely optional for those setting said rules. How 'responsible'. That last fact is the pertinent point here.

Your imagined idea that I care because I hate people more successful than myself in more clichéd fantasy. And beyond that departure from reality, no party would be getting my vote right now anyway.

Bang on the money. Handing out million pound contract like confetti while pished off their heads on alcohol bought on expenses.

You love telling others what they think, but you aren't so keen on being told yourself, are you.

There is no excuse for flouting your own rules, except perhaps when you are running the country.

You might say that this is counterproductive and irresponsible, and perhaps in an ideal world it is, but I find that the noisy self righteous types who make a big deal of these things are often those who are the biggest hypocrites.

In any case, there is no credible alternative for government or possibly even for a Tory leader. That is the bottom line.

Your agenda is clear. Mine is to focus on what matters right now rather than stuff that is of little consequence in the grand scheme.

I dont do testing mate, unless i need to go away one day!

Indeed.

Starmer right on the money at PMQ.

The 'inquiry' will be an avoidance exercise, but one questions an enquiry at all, as Downing Street has apologised to the Queen, thereby making the admission.

Sir Humphrey & Co will be up late working on this one.
