Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Wonder if Mick will be doing one of his pre- election CF Polls? Results might be different this time.
Where is he btw? I miss his cheery disposition

Mick’s on Facebook from time to time, busy with family stuff as far as I can see.
CF election opinion polls are however my domain, and have been ever since this site’s first general election way back in 2005.
And yes, there will be election opinion polls for the 3 weeks leading up to the next one, as well as an exit poll.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
I think Sunak needs to set a date for the election. This uncertainty is not good for business and the economy. He can improve the economy and thereby his electoral chances by making a decision.

You are making the assumption that he cares about any of these things…

I'm only assuming he cares about his electoral chances and that the more successful the economy is, the higher those will be. And vice versa.

Unless hes the most optimistic person ever (or just plain stupid) he already knows his chances of winning are zero.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
It is interesting to compare the Tories interest in Labour's anti-Semitism with their interest in their own Islamophobia.

No it isn't.
You must think the Speaker Islamophobic then, as it was he that threw out parliamentary procedure because of the risk of an Islamist retaliation to the way MPs might vote.

Now there's an interesting word. What phobia? There's Hoyle talking about protecting MPs from the baying Free Palestine mob and they call it a phobia.
Make no mistake, Lee Anderson expressed himself badly by going for Khan personally without sufficient evidence.
But the threat to our democracy is entirely rational and we are witnessing before our eyes.

Regarding your last statement, what anxtual facts exist to support this statement ? Note an op ed in the telegraph and the beliefs of Tory MP’s do not constitute actual facts

Are you blind? "From the river to the sea" displayed on Big Ben? 300,000 demonstrators ostensibly promoting Free Palestine in the context of the Hamas war?
You're missing my point, deliberately or otherwise. Why is it Islamophobia when the fear of Islam is entirely rational (stated by the Speaker) and we are witnessing it before our very eyes?
Tory MPs, many of them fools, are nothing to do with this.

Are any of the politicians you remember still around now?
Maybe at least give Labour an opportunity to mess things up first before judging what nobody yet knows.

How is what you’ve said a threat to our government ? Please show your working out

You only need to look at Labour's pool of talent to see the next 5 years will be as big a dumpster fire as the last 5.
It makes no difference, UK politics is in the toilet, and there's no alternative.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
If that works for you then cool but I'd rather judge on what we know as opposed to what we think may possibly happen.
