Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

The blind and severely disabled communities still have not been paid any income since june 2022 since the collapse of the DWP payment system for the blind…..The abuse and discrimination of the most vulnerable in society historically rises as economic conditions under failed governments deteriorate. The Disability Enforcement Act 2023 has been approved by parliament has not been signed into law by King Charles ..why Not? The police have requested additional powers to arrest and fine anyone who abuses severely disabled blind adults who have been experiencing physical and verbal assaults on average twice a week. Matt Hancock now wishes to include the recognition of Dyslexia people in the legislation too a sensible suggestion. Sunak has taken responsibility as minister for civil service failure and abuse of the blind sevrely disabled but has done nothing for one year taking take pleasure in watching disability genocide of these people in modern Britain. the European committee of human rights have told the government that it must immediately make the payments with criminal prosecution of those responsible and a group compensation scheme covering these 1.8 circa people these people are waiting for money to be paid under law amounting to… March 2020 pandemic assistance for food which exceed inflation of 19 %' The incomes have dropped by 180% since 2010 with inflation hitting this legally protected group by 19& 2020 22% 2021 39% 2022 41% est 2023 Historically inflation for the severely disabled blind rise by between 3 and 5 times the average inflation rates. The incomes paid to this small group are determined by law, not MPs, Not bureocrats. They are set in primary legislation at the above average wages or higher inflation rate on a monthly basis. Human rights charities are seeking criminal prosecution of this unelected prime minister with a minimum 3 custodial sentences on each of the 16 charges. The Tories are pancaking as no one can hold public office if they are convicted for discrimination or disability genocide in the UK. Sunak must resign this week. Jeremy Hunt has been warned by the charities to make provision for at least 3 billion pounds to settle this legal group compensation scheme. Sunak has been warned by the high court they will do there level best to prosecute him, civil service, and other MPs responsible The police will be looking at further evidence to continue their existing investigations.
Kier stream has called for a judicial enquiry Whilst Michael Gove has demanded has parliamentary enquiry as the Secretary of state and the Joseph Rountree foundation was told in January 2022 in parliament they would fix this problem for the blind….clearly Thyree Coffee SSWP is accused of misleading parliament and must resign also. The NHS call this disaster of the governments own making, liberty wants sunak to stand n the international human rights court to explain his part in this international disaster ! the blind are starving to death whilst sunak chooses new trainers for his children in Knightsbridge and supports ascot race goers to buy French champagne at 200 pounds a bottle whilst he watches blind and severely adults and children de of starvation.

Do you really have to ask that question? He is unelected for the post he is doing nothing for the people he is helping the rich including foreign rich.

The whole world needs to stand united against Hindu terrorism in Canada. Deport all Indian immigrants from your country before it is too late. Everyone knows that the Indian debt trap is the worse. Let us not forget that this is the Indian origin Prime Minister (also ex-Chancellor) who is responsible for the bankruptcy of Birmingham City and soon the entire Britain. He engineered this financial time bomb when he was the Chancellor/Prime Minister. Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of UK, would probably ask financial help from India so that they (Britain) would be caught deeper in the Indian debt trap to the point of no return 🤭I have a feeling that Britain is under the Indian debt trap ages ago…. That is why they surrendered all the key positions to India/Indians. Who is the ex-Chancellor that is controlling the country's wealth and who is the current Prime Minister who is controlling the entire government and who is the Home Secretary that is controlling immigration? Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel and Suella Braverman….All of them are Indian descents?🤭Mark my words. This vengeful Indian, who is still harboring hatred for the British Raj, will destroy Britain.

Sunak's done a great job under the circumstances, he's held together a country that was on a fast downward trajectory. With the Russian war, state of the global economy, and Brexit, there's nothing anybody can do to save this country any more, but he's slowed down its descent as much as anybody could.
The Conservatives are paying the price for their terrible decisions over the past 10+ years.
The working class never liked them anyway, the only argument that went in their favour is that they would bring stability after the 2007/8 debt crash, but look how that turned out! Would you describe the last 10+ years as stable?
Remainers blame the conservatives for Brexit, Brexiters who aren't too proud to admit they were wrong also blame the conservatives for Brexit, and the stubborn blinkered Brexiters need a scapegoat so are trying to blame the conservatives for HOW it was implemented (lol, like it would've ever worked).
There's nothing Sunak can do. Changing leaders would only weaken their position even further.
@wulla2
December 19, 2023 at 9:47 am
Sunak keeps trying to play his Goldman Sachs silver bullet – find the magic solution, and everything will come good. This week, attack zero carbon climate plans, next week war on woke, week after that stop the boats. But it doesn’t exist for a government in such dire straits as this one. They could only turn things round by showing genuine competence and empathy for the issues the public cares about. Both goals are way beyond them

Why is Sunak’s Polling Getting Worse/Dropping Further?
Well, in one of the first interviews he did when he became prime minister, he mentioned about showing compassion to those in need.
This uncannily coincided with another right-wing leader's ideals back in 1939 Germany, which resulted in millions of deaths of "those in need" as a result of "compassion."
@danielebowman
December 19, 2023 at 9:47 am
His polling has got worse ebcause as poeple's lievs are getting worse and systemic problems aren't being dealt with, he literally has nothing to offer and gets caught with useless fake attempts at PR in place of policy that say offers cheaper more plentiful housing, increased wages, lowers cost of living, increases more opportunities to suceed etc.
