[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[The Clamp]

Listening to Sunak on the radio this morning. His response to being asked whether he’d knowingly lied about Labour’s “£2000 tax rise” was laughable.

“Nooo, I haven’t lied. I’m not lyyyying”

Like a kid who’s been caught stealing sandwiches from another kid’s school bag.

Nothing that I didn’t expect but one thing I am sick to the back teeth of is hearing one successive Tory minister after another denying their lies. Time and time again.

It’s boring now. Just f*** off.

 

[The Clamp]

The latest from the Ministry of Truth.

Who's the narrator ?

A litany of lies and half truths

If there was one leader I certainly wouldn’t want in charge of defending the U.K. it’s quivering voiced Sunak with his jelly spine, U-Turns, and soft, clean hands.

He’s an utter poltroon with the exact qualities of a failed military man.

 

[Jim in the West]

I like the fact that the BBC are referring to Sunak’s £2,000 claim as “dubious”.

Initially I thought the £2,000 claim was a smart move by the Tories - regardless of its veracity it has got loads of airtime.

But now the airtime seems to be focusing on the lying. Hopefully many people’s take-away from the debate is that Sunak is a liar.

Sunak knows he has the right wing press on his side, he will just continue to double down on the hope he will win more votes than he loses.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The man behind the campaign to bring Angela Raynor down who has written more than a dozen Daily Mail front pages about the issue is not happy about the something else.

The Tory’s sniper has turned the gun on his paymasters.



The Tories will go supernova at the election. I’m wondering how much left of them there will be after the Great British public have had their say?

 

[ROSM]

Dan Hodges and Tim Montgomery both going for him now over leaving d day events for a political interview.

Tory candidates in meltdown over it.

1st he lied, then he was caught lying, then he disrespected the d day events to try and get him off his lying.

This will rumble for days, a slow burn, until even the mail, express and telegraph will jave to say something. It's almost like he has a bet on farage being leader of the opposition after the election (and don't forget he bet against the country before)

Game over ?

 

[Jim in the West]

Game over ?

Interesting - I’m assuming that’s a genuine tweet. That’s what you call a desperate attempt at damage limitation.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Game over ?

Not me, but I agree with her.

 

[ROSM]

Zelensky has issued a video of his time at the events. You will be pleased to know that the section showing him meeting his strongest alllies has him shaking hands with Keir Starmer.

 

[A1X]

Sunak’s just a dick. No awareness of anyone or anything other than himself. Proper entitled rich boy.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

That is unbelievably disrespectful to our allies, all for an interview that is embargoed until Wednesday anyway.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Talk about an error of judgment. So desperate and rattled that decision making all over the place.

Even Fiona Bruce has evidence of the Treasury letter but Mark Harper doubles down on the lie and then triples down it.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Shirley he hasn't been this incompetent while he's been PM or before that when he was the Chancellor who oversaw 11% inflation, or somebody would have said

 

[A1X]

Good grief it somehow gets even worse...

 

[pb21]

Not going down well with Tim Montgomerie, calling it "undignified".

 

[Pevenseagull]

Even Fiona Bruce has evidence of the Treasury letter but Mark Harper doubles down on the lie and then triples down it.

I lying to support Johnson was 'Operation Save Big Dog' are we now seeing 'Operation Save Little Weasel'?

 

[KZNSeagull]

I concur with Tim Montgomerie 100%. Whoever is advising Sunak is a bigger idiot than Sunak himself. At least the King was there to show some dignity and decorum on behalf of the UK.
Shameful behaviour from Sunak.

 

[Berty23]

Is sunak trying to lose Richmond? His constituency has a huge army base in it doesn’t it? My aunty spent some years at catterick garrison and lived in a village not too far from Richmond. I can’t imagine this will go down well there.
