Will Sunak still be PM at the general election – politicalbetting.com
Will Sunak still be PM at the general election – politicalbetting.com
Every week or so it seems we get a new rumour about plots for a different CON leader to be in place for the general election. This, of course, requires that there are enough Tory MPs ready to demand a confidence vote and for that to go against the incumbent.

Get on with the GE Rishi, 2 May please.

More importantly tonight best wishes to the King for his cancer treatment
It is a very private issue, but maybe the Palace will be more specific on the type of cancer
It is interesting that Sky have said it Is not prostrate cancer, but you can have an enlarged prostrate and at the same time cancer cells can be present in the prostrate gland
No doubt @Foxy can comment
I have a feeling Sunak’s going to double down on his bet, because someone will tell him it helps to keep immigration in the news and they can try to taunt Labour with it. So don’t be surprised if he makes some lame attempt to bet with Starmer, or some off the cuff planned remark about Starmer always cashing out of his bets before the event.
Obviously later in year will be no choice as five years are up.
Genuinely hope he gets a break here. After so long he deserves at least a few (ideally quiet) years.
‘Not prostate’ is not good, though.
Just at the first stage of life where you can't take health for granted ourselves and merciful for getting this far relatively unscathed.
As for Sunak, the Neil Warnock of PMs. I've seen worse caretakers but you wouldn't interview for a full term, would you?
All the best with your operation - I'm sure we all look forward to having you back soon and fighting fit
This is separate to my pacemaker operation tomorrow
Lasted about two minutes before I paid to make them go away.
I haven't tried watching anything yet. I expect that with uBlock and a PiHole it will be possible to make them go away.

However, they are in the mid-20s while Labour are in the mid-40s which is a significant gap with barely nine months (presumably) until polling day.
I suspect Levido will be hoping the spring and probably autumn budgets will have plenty of nice tax cuts but I fear he has misread the public mood as political strategists often do. The anger against the Conservative Party is bordering on visceral and needs to be expunged via the ballot box.
It may well be Wellingborough in particular will be a sign of things to come.
(Also, about the millionth example of Rishi Is Bad At Politics. All you need to do is be one step kinder about your opponent than the interviewer. "I wouldn't go that far Piers, but I do think he has his priorities wrong...")
@SpeakerJohnson, the US Congress is preparing to abandon them.

“Christian Horner, the Red Bull team principal, is under investigation concerning an allegation of “inappropriate controlling behaviour” by a female colleague.”

Remarkably, the level of stake agreed would be enough to see the loser face an enhanced financial check under the government's proposals if it had been placed with an online bookmaker

I think productivity has generally fallen. We have had a lot of veteran clinicians retire, and it takes rookies a while to achieve the same productivity. There has been a massive turnover of staff with covid, and major disruption of training programmes producing less experienced clinicians.
As ever fixing NHS productivity is much the same solution as elsewhere in our economy. Invest in capital equipment and training. It isn't brain surgery...
There will be many failures along the way.
Just like when the motor car first started. For every Ford there were many many losers.
The technology may be destined to dominate, but that doesn't mean the current companies will do so. The history of disruptive technology is that there will be lots of failures alongside some meteoric rises.
The problem is with so many projects on the go it's clogging up everyone's favourite - the planning process - and sometimes you get the situation where one Council department objects to another department's plan. For example, the main property department might put in an application which gets objected to by the Highways department on the grounds of traffic management.
The other part is the consultation process which some on here would cheerfully abolish. The problem is it's not just about building houses - there are applications submitted for other things. One example might be a pupil referral unit on a site formally occupied by a residential home for the elderly.
When the NHS worked and waiting lists were at an all time low
When homelessness was still dropping
When the economy was actually growing
When public duty meant something
When the government wasn't run by incompetent fools
Let's go back to square one. Please Rishi.

(Me? Nothing serious. I've been lucky to start out adult life skinny (close to 6 feet, less than 10 stones), and have exercised regularly. I think all the cross country skiing I have done over the years has done a lot for my health. I am not joking when I urge Nick Palmer to try to bring that to his community.)
I tried skiing at Methow in the Cascades once. They had their warmest January week on record.
Sadly.
At which point I realised I was actually a firebrand revolutionary. Down with this sort of thing.
My sister was convinced that balls scored off someone's head were not allowed
So there’s again a massive rise in piracy, not helped by governments like Russia wanting to encourage it in the West.

Haley/Pelosi … easily confused, too.
A very quick search found snow machines for sale for less than 300 dollars.
I would guess something like that would be less expensive than a heated, indoor swimming pool. (Swimming and cross counry skiing are about equal in cardio benefits.)
I admit I have been lucky in living so near to Mt. Rainier (height >14,000 feet) for the last 2 decades. I have skiied there in every month except October. Did get a nasty sunburn once skiing in shorts on a day in July. (Hadn't put on enough sunscreen.)
Should add that the park is going to be requiring reservations this summer.)
It is true he has less experience as an MP, though only by a few years in the case of Cameron, and if Keir takes over this year he will be almost as inexperienced as Rishi was.
Giving Arcelor-Mittal millions of pounds effectively to remove our capacity to create the virgin steel necessary to manufacture weapons would be the 'final straw' if such a phrase now had any meaning. It's completely irrelevant environmentally - they are building a vast blast furnace in India to make up for the lost capacity. We've fucked the taxpayer, fucked our own national security, and the net outcome will probably be more carbon released than before. What is the use of a Government that fails in its most basic duty to secure the nation?
Sunak showed a glimpse of realism around Net Zero, and was rewarded by his only notable polling bounce. He then went right back to standard form as a banner, taxer, wrecker. SKS is more of the same. Someone needs to upset the applecart.
