Despite a very small honeymoon boost, Rishi Sunak’s polling is looking pretty terrible. Already Labour have reopened their serious lead and the new Tory leader isn’t looking all that strong. So in this video we unpack what he’s doing & why he’s struggling

    Are you the sort of person who would sell his house rather than his car? The Labour Party would tax car owners to the hilt – all in the name of a green agenda.

    Statically his party can only win by changing the political voting system to a proportional 1.

    POV: it's 2025. the shattered remnants of the Uk conservative party have assembled together in one last struggle to beat back the hordes of starmer, now commanding 69% of the vote share in the latest polls
    they are fighting a close 5-way race for second
    currently polling at 9% they are fending off the liberal democrats, who continue to insist that "labour can't win"
    the greens have risen to 9%. nobody knows why
    reform is there as well, because why not.
    the snp is now commanding 99.5% of all votes in scotland
    besides that, david cameron has come out of retirement (is he retired) and formed a new party with nick clegg: Cameron-Clegg Coalition: PHASE 2!
    this party is polling at -1%
    there is one sound which can be heard on the loudspeakers
    shouted out by the last remaining corbynites after the great purge
    "any other leader would be 60 points ahead"
    In a hushed whisper, the last brexiters prepare to start a coup
    led by Nigel Farage, funded by his cameo money, they storm the house of lords
    unfortunately, there is not enough seating for them
    The elevtion comes. liberal democrats under eduardo davey continue to win byelection after byelection, but fail to win a single seat
    labour wins every seat in great britian, exept for brighton pavillion
    scotland falls to the SNP
    led by the charismatic O'assad
    One sound rings over the hills
    Tony Blair's wailing
    Jeremy Corbyn arises from the shadows to comfort him. after the two make out for a few minutes, they agree they are the only thing that can stop the Starmerpocalypse
    "I never thiought I'd be fighting side by side with a new labourite"
    "I never thought I'd be fighting side by side with an anti-semite"
    IM SORRY I HAD TO
    (i dont actually think jeremy corbyn is anti-semitic"
    "how about fighting side by side… with a fellow member of labour"
    "i'd like that, Jeremy. I'd like that very much."
    sex scene
    very hot
    the sole remaining conservative mp is Boris Johnson
    his last message before he is executed by thre though police (starmer's guards) is…
    "ELMO SHOULD'VE WON THERE WAS FRAUD!!!!"
    elmo was subsequently instated in his seat
    Keir Starmer, now having the entirety of the united kingdom under his control, laughs.
    the only sound that remains is the shrieks of the dying
    and the defiant shouts of rebellion instigated by Corbyn and Blair
    "it's the end, Tony."
    "we have one last hope, Jer. Don't give up. Never give up"
    he returned. over the hills.
    the one man left to challenge Starmer.
    The zombified body of Tony Benn
    and Michael Foot
    and Gordon Brown
    and Clement Atlee
    And Ramsay Macdonald
    together, this group of goofy goobers stormed the HOC
    where they were promptly shot by keir's forces
    RIP TO THE GOATS

    we are supposed to an intelligent society, yet we seems to think that replacing Truss with Sunak is gonna make a change, "if voting could make a change, they wouldn't have allowed it".

    All we have is a cycle of "elect and regret", things aren't gonna go anywhere, simply because our govt haven't fix anything at all, in fact Sunak like Trust is creating more enemies, hype up anti RF and China, one of the largest economic bloc, he is formenting and supporting continuance of wars, and just like Truss, nothing will change, because they are all still pushing the destructive policies of the USA, the real power at EU's expenses.

    Even his own party didn't want him. They had to rig the second one and bribe Johnson not to go against him. Tories are a joke just like this country has become. But don't worry we'll keep sucking off American president after American president because that's working well for us.

    I have deep concerns about our government and politics in general. We don’t produce thinkers who have a thorough understanding of honesty and integrity. There is something wrong with a government that has had

    Margaret Thatcher

    Teresa May

    Boris Johnson

    Liz Truss and

    Ritchie Sunack as Prime Ministers since 2016

    And 4 chancellors in 4 months.

    We have lost the ability to govern.

    We can’t budget. We can’t manage the Public Sector. We have made a mess of the NHS, we have let the Care System go. We made a mess of Brexit and that only happened because the public were fed up with immigration. And that’s not changed. Before it was the East Europeans and the Chengin Agreement. We had intolerable immigration from Sangatte since the mid 90s

    We can’t control our boarders. We can’t negotiate with the EU. I know Farage wanted us out of the EU because of the unelected Bureaucracy. He may have been right but we have suffered with our trade.

    I think he’s a realist who speaks the truth. Our political system is finished. I watched Matt Hancock on the Jungle program and he admitted that Ministers do not need know anything about the subject matter. They almost get to choose which ministry they want.

    He admitted that ministries are run by experts and advisors.

    It’s been said that the Monarchy is out of touch with its public. So is the Government. They said today that they can’t afford pay rises in line with inflation. Well they caused the inflation. It’s the least we should get every year. Successive Governments have seen salaries reduce and become valueless.

    What we need is honesty and integrity. The Police system is in dire straights. It seems the Fire Service is misogynistic and racist as is the Met. This party finished. It lied throughout COVID. They bailed out all the banks with our money.

    They were too quick to reduce Defense Spending.

    I know Farage is only a pundit but a lot of what he says is the truth.

    We need a new party with young vibrant people who are well educated and understand economics.

    Europe is going Right Wing country by Country.

    I feel for our future.

  23. @vidyagaems4063

    January 1, 2024 at 10:09 pm

    "We don't want those stupid, corrupt lunatics! But we're open to voting for even dumber, even more corrupt, even more insane, far-right party."
    Don't let this cancer grow or you might end up with a situation like what we have in Poland. There are fates worse than Tories.

  24. @MrIlovethisshow

    January 1, 2024 at 10:09 pm

    The Conservatives are clearly tired of being in power so they have thrown labour an alley oop by first appointing Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor and now Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister it will take years for the majority of british people to forgive them. But only black and asian people in this country know this and yes it is all about race and not about policy.

In recent weeks many people have grown frustrated by the government’s COVID regulations, leading some (even within their own party) to reject what they see as government power grabs. Some have even compared COVID Britain to the world portrayed in George Orwell’s 1984. So in this video, we discuss the new powers the government has, why some people are angry about them and whether we really are getting a bit 1984.
