Westminster Politics

Think he's always been Deputy PM - part of the reason why it was mental that both him and Boris were on holiday at exactly the same time. Also Justice Sec definitely a demotion from Foreign Sec.

Edit: I'm totally wrong, no idea where I got that idea from.

Raab and Patel have to be the worst, when you combine sheer incompetence, awful ideology and power. Hopefully Patel also gets the boot (unlikely).

I thought the same as you! Wasn't he the one that stepped in while Boris had covid? Did they have someone else that was deputy PM that they decided they didn't actually want to deputise when the time came around? :wenger:

I don't see what's wrong with that tweet? Apart from the outright hate spewing bigotry, whataboutism and lack of class or intelligence, that is.

Let's face it , dude. Unless one of them has said someone worse than "watermelon smiles", which apparently is a standard we've now set for what a PM can get away with saying, these feckers will never be in trouble for what they do it say.
 
May 2023 election?

To be honest I woudn't be surprised by that as it would probably let them get to the next election with minimal tax rises and they are changing the fixed term parliament act to allow them to call early elections so seems pretty logical

Think the SNP were pushing for indy ref2 by the end of 2023 so would set up the narrative of a hung parliament will break up the UK nicely for their campaigning

Wouldn't surprise me.

Ironic because the Tories have done for the breakup of the UK than any party in recent history with Brexit.
 
In the UK, we have been encouraged to keep changing our energy suppliers to get a better/cheaper deal.
And new energy suppliers have been encouraged to enter the marketplace.

And now we are seeing a large number of smaller energy suppliers going out of business due to the massive price increases.
It would not surprise me if we end up with the same big 6 suppliers dominating the market again.

Why has there been a surge? I haven’t really been following the last few days….

It's a real mixture of reasons, a backlog of maintenance not done in covid, less windy weather(!) and no more coal power stations to help with surges, but mostly Russia exporting less with various claims being made as to why that is so.

'We're raising your taxes, increasing your Council Tax, reducing your UC payments, but don't worry, we won't remove the price rise cap (yet) because we care about you!"

Fecking parasites!

I'm sure it'll be a "difficult decision" like all increases are.
 
Top rated comment on the Beeb article about this.

It's strange times. A Prime Minister comes out and tells us not to worry about food shortages at Christmas or whether we'll be able to heat our homes. This along with gaps on the supermarket shelves and massive supply chain disruption. The majority of the British media doesn't question it or ask why it's happening on this government's watch. Blimey, imagine the uproar if it was Corbyn.

There might be hope after all.
