As the Rishi Sunak stands up to speak today, he will be in now doubt that time is running out for him and his party.

Veterans Affair minister Johnny Mercer up next. "If it’s any consolation, I was quite surprised they gave me this slot as well," he says.
He goes on: "Everybody wants change after 13 years. Just ask my wife."

Try the Rish.
Not nearly as funny as Mordaunt's '[Labour] will undo everything we've achieved'.
Reintroduction of capital punishment
or
Postponement of General Elections for 20 years.
Nice intro by Mrs S.
He appears to stand for nothing and even does that incompetantly.
Sunakism thus far seems to be coalescing as 'opportunistic populism' (probably the most positive framing I can muster). Still as close as evens for me that there'll be a proposal to bring back the gallows.
If his speech is simply. "Thank you and goodbye", he will have had a good conference.
It doesn't work, to pull it off you need to be the kind of person who would call up a child at Christmas time and tell them there's no such thing as Santa.
The public at least until recently saw Sunak as a dull but safe pair of hands. A election campaign may well show up his petulance and irritation at being asked difficult questions. We've already seen a bit of this during conference.
Probably doesn’t help she was more recently a non dom, and extremely wealthy
She was very effective.
They doubt he has the slightest inkling of how to make things better and see him losing the plot in an attempt to work it out.
He is also apparently going to talk about long term decisions at the same time as cancelling a long term infrastructure project.
Just a pity he's the PM.
I know! I know! He's hired @TheScreamingEagles as adviser and he's going to announce PR for Westminster in the next few minutes.
The years since have not improved him. Admittedly the party he is in has been tearing itself apart for years. Even Solomon would struggle. But I can see no-one in the party who can articulate any sense of what Conservatism should be.
Frankly there are posters on here who could do a better job of spelling out what such a political position should be - and who could almost certainly make it more attractive than anything on offer from current Tory Ministers.
You have to admit he is a bit of an expert on this
It is already very, very bitty - it's not a building narrative yet.
Why is he calling into question Labour's reliability on that ?
So far, utter shit.
Quite remarkable how bad Tory MPs are at selecting leaders....
Sunak - like a a lot of people in the City - is not used to being challenged and has not had a lot of experience of this in politics. It shows. It's a mark of inexperience. I know that we don't want geriatrics in power as in the US but too many of our politicians are put in senior positions too early: Sunak is one such and has not been able to learn from his mistakes, possibly because he has been dazzled by his early PR coups during Covid.
Clearly he has to go for "Time for a Change" and everyone is nodding, you're dead right it is. He has an impossible task.
And he's a boring speaker.

Football's coming home. Another success for Rishi.

In the older site individual authors had individual entries, but that's stopped. So the following links no longer exist- https://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/author/corporeal/

If the site cannot create an entry for all the contributors, then there should be an "other", thus- https://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/author/other/
But there isn't. So at the moment Kieran Pedley's articles are accredited to mike-smithson. Hence my point.Bizarre
Right now he's trying to take the piss out of Starmer - and the rise in his voice at the end of each phrase is so half-hearted. It's almost as if even he can't be bothered any more.
Why would he or should he?
Two fingers to Cameron and Osborne.
Crossrail 2 confirmed
This is their three days to focus on whatever makes them look good. It's a baffling piece of news management from which I can only conclude that they saw an upside for themselves in this.
I hope it's more than lines drawn in Crayon on an AA map.
Well I'll have to vote for Phillip Davies now.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
He's got Bart's vote...
Shipley bypass? That's not going to be mired in planning for 20 years, oh no.
This one described as Network North, as opposed to NPR is this:

Agreed.

Rishi Sunak’s central argument appears to be that Keir Starmer changes his mind, and that is a weakness of leadership. But also that he changes his own mind, and that represents strength of leadership.
