    Wowsers. Penny saying Truss is a leader of courage and in essence that Starmer is a coward...

    The audience is behind her; we’re incidental to all of this

    Mordaunt now trying to abuse Starmer.

    Doesn't sound too good, tbh. Not really relevant to the questions. Sounds like playground insults being traded, especially when she accuses him of waging economic war on schools and hospitals.

    She's owning him @ydoethur !

    Well according to Christopher Hope, reporting the WhatsApp message from tories it's:

    "Rishi PM, Hunt CX, Penny FS. Done deal."

    Probably their best way of mitigating losses. If the last 3 years hadn't happened it would be a good triumvirate. There are some godawful Nasties on the Far Right of the tory party.They need to be shown the door, never to return to wreck this country again.

    If you look at the net figure it’s quite a bit better for Starmer (+15) than it was for Cameron (+6).
    This is significant because it indicates a shift in the window rather than a polarization.

    🚨New from @IpsosUK: Very important numbers. 47% now say Labour ready for government. 🚨

    - Highest figure Labour have recorded since losing in 2010

    - In fact - last opposition leader to register scores like this was Cameron. Just before he won.

    This is significant

    Technically, it should be "Just before he scraped a win via a coalition with the Liberal Democrats"
  • FairlieredFairliered Posts: 5,588

    Farage, Tice and Hamilton have no chance at the moment.

    Farage is a spent force, his time is up.
    Tice seems reasonable enough on a personal level, but I don't think he'll be able to get it together and I don't think anyone will want to listen.
    Hamilton is a joke. I'm surprised UKIP is still going, but there we are.

    None of them will get to 5%, let alone 30%.

    Farage will if @HYUFD and all the little HYUFDs vote for him. Listening to HYUFD recently, if he was an MP he would be in danger of losing the whip for promoting another party.

    Penny tried hard to defend the impossible there. Probably won kudos from backbenchers.
  • They appear to have decided that "this UQ is a disgrace, its preventing us from hearing the chancellor" and that Starmer has changed position.

    Anyone seen Dougie Ross?

    He must be trembling in the foetal position under some rock at this point.

    Didn't he support the Kamikwazi budget and demand that the SG follow it instantly? And then praise the first u-turn as well? He has sure gone quiet on all that.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-63119596

    I mean, even the Romford Recorder is reporting what's going on, complete with the SG saying "look, we were right to ignore it" at least one Tory MSP fed up (albeit diplomatically) nabout their Westminster colleagues and the Party choosing PMs.

    Memo to L.T. from B.J.


    Friends colleagues and voters....

    I've fucked up big time!

    I got it all wrong and I'm sorry.

    But unlike the 40 Tory leaders before me I didn't go to private school.

    I went to a greasy spoon Northern comprehensive.

    We ate peas with a knife.

    We weren't taught how be Prime Minister.

    It wasn't an option.

    If we got a job in a nail bar we thought we'd made it.

    So please give me one more chance.

    I promise to consult on everything from now on

    And I'll do my best not to screw up the economy again.

    I'll get the best advice I can even if I have to get my Mum to pay for it...

    Thank you

    Lizzy

  • rcs1000rcs1000 Posts: 59,353

    The best way to do universality is to do it literally universal. Flat grant to every household, as Sunak originally proposed with the £400, but at whatever rate is deemed appropriate. But keep the unit rate as high as it goes, giving the incentive to cut usage still.

    Poor households tend to use less energy. If they end up with a reduced or negligible bill then that's OK, they can use that money for any other spending they may have. Richer, bigger households tend to use a lot more energy, so while they'd get the same grant they'd be paying a lot more unit rate.

    Anyone heating a personal swimming pool or something similar shouldn't have a reduced unit rate to make that more affordable.
    This is - of course - absolutely correct. It would maximise the reduction in energy usage, by keeping the price signal, while softening the blow of increased rates most for the poorest.

    It mostly says "Yes, I would make a good Foreign Secretary, wouldn't I?".
  • Not just that, but sound judgement;

    Early in 2016, with the approach of the European Union referendum, Boris Johnson was wavering between Leave and Remain, and Wallace advised him strongly to support Remain, as taking the Leave side would mean being allied with "clowns".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)
    So THAT was the argument that pushed BJ off the fence, in solidarity with his fellow bozos?

    No, honestly, this is crap.

    Of course at some point in the future it is going to come out about what exactly Truss was doing when Penny was covering for her. The Tory MPs are I'm sure massively regretting voting for Truss over Penny. "Look what you could've won".

    No chance. The Conservative Party, not to mention the country, would be in a massively better place than it is now. As I wrote at the time:

    The party is no longer recognisable as the pragmatic, business-friendly, economically-sound, reality-based party of government which I have supported for decades. It will justifiably get the electoral blame for the consequences of the disastrous course it has chosen, and will probably never be forgiven by younger voters.

    The election of Boris Johnson as leader is irresponsible and unworthy in itself: many of those who voted for him are fully aware that he is unfit to be PM. But, worse than that, it is a symptom of a much deeper malaise in the party, one that goes to the very heart of what the Conservative Party should be about. It is a choice of denial as well as of desperation, showing that party members have lost interest in dealing with the world as it is, not as it they would like it to be.

    If the Conservative Party no longer wishes to be a serious party of government, living in the real world and striving to act in the interests of the whole United Kingdom, what is the point of it?

    I have no axe to grind with Hunt. But I find it implausible that he would have won a majority in 2019. We would have had a Starmer/Sturgeon double act as we went into covid.

    In sharp contrast to Thatcher who the day she resigned took Kinnock apart on the floor of the house.

    She's doing a reasonable job in egregiously bad circumstances. But the "this question is a disgrace, its very important that we hear the (new) chancellor destroy the old chancellor and the PM right now" line is absurd.

    Tremendous fun, but not remotely related to how actual piles of votes will look.

    For one thing, if it still looks like Lab Landslide going into the final week, an awful lot of folk will feel safe voting for their real first choices, especially Green and LD.
    The Lab (particularly the SLab variety) mantra is vote Labour if you want a Labour government.
    I guess it's deliberate but they seem to be ignoring the large number of voters who very much don't want the current bunch of weirdos and incompetents in charge any longer and aren't that much bothered who replaces them.

    Nah. For a start (as you have already corrected) it would have been Corbyn not Starmer and, far more importantly, if it had been Hunt vs Corbyn then Hunt would still have won. Corbyn just scared the horses way too much. It is a sign of how bad May was that he even got close to her in 2017.

    What Hunt would then have done I have no idea. Judging Hunt by his actions today in a crisis when effectively all he has to do is stabilise the markets to be a hero is no real judge of how he would have handled the internal party politics 4 years ago, not how he would have handled Covid. I suspect he would have done better than Johnson on the latter but that is just my own anti-Johnson bias really.

    I think sending Mordaunt in to bat here was an OK move by Truss.

    Clearly Sunak is desperate for the job, so by giving various other contenders a chance to shine (Hunt, now Mordaunt) the plan must be to create disunity amongst those advocating a coronation.

    But, if not, she also wants to block Sunak.

    She is head and shoulders better than Long- Bailey who has just been put back in her box by Penny!
