[Politics] Who is actually running the country ?

[Bodian]

Last I checked it's the bloke who came 2nd in a leadership contest to a woman outlasted by a lettuce.

And have you seen him since - don't seem to have heard from him much.

 

[rogersix]

not sure reacting to the unfunded not-a-budget was "control", more fright. all reversed btw, doesn't make for headlines, bonds rates back to mid September levels.

so it didn't happen at all?

did everyone give all the money back?

 

[BBassic]

And have you seen him since - don't seem to have heard from him much.

I actually think that's to his credit.

We heard way too much from Truss, usually whilst she was defending taking a barbed wire dildo to the economy. Johnson was in the news for all the wrong reasons, relentlessly.

I don't trust him but Sunak being relatively anonymous might mean he's just got his head down and is concentrating on the job.

 

[RandyWanger]

I thought everyone knew it is the ERG.

Very much this.

In a couple of years time, it'll be the unions.

At least nobody will have to work as they will all be on strike

maybe king charlie could cover for us whilst we rest

Its a myth pedalling by right wing newspaper owners that can see their non-dom status will soon be toast. Enough them telling us what we should to think from the Channel Islands, Bermuda and Monaco

Except they are nearly all working from home.

but that’s good isn’t it, as it means none of them will need to claim travel expenses etc
how comforting it is to know they are all looking out for us.

 

[Eeyore]

New “New Labour” are gearing up. Brown, Blair, Mandelson and Campbell all currently offering words of wisdom. Starmer will go with it for sure.

Think of it more as 'Labour re-mastered'

 

[Eeyore]

I mus have missed something. I thought the country was run by the media and big business. Oh, and Chelsea.

 

[Guinness Boy]

In a couple of years time, it'll be the unions.

Christ, that’ll be awful. Strikes every five minutes in every sector, huge pay increases, rubbish rotting in the streets, immigrants landing on beaches unopposed. I can’t imagine it.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Unless I've missed something it's the dregs of Johnson's Brexit cabal, playing musical deckchairs on the Titanic, with a rotting lettuce setting strategy, isn't it ?

Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite

 

[Eric the meek]

'Who is actually running the country?'. Bit of a redundant question isn't it?

When a country is as well run as this one is, all that is required is a gentle nudge of the rudder now and again with a sunkissed toe, to keep everything on track.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I do struggle a bit with the anti-union narrative from a purely ethical perspective although I appreciate some of the individuals heading up these organisations can be polarising. Unions however have existed and continue to exist to prevent the exploitation of their members. I think that's a pretty noble thing.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

As far as I can make out, no one is.

Probably for the best, given the last few years.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

As far as I can make out, no one is.

I am, but I'm not telling anyone.

you are right, the sort of thing you might think your MP may like to take an interest in

 

[vegster]

The current government are a pitiful collection of racists,shysters, bullies, sexual predators and idiots. Their one unifying policy is just to stay on in office for as long as possible and hope something turns up. Just at this time of year it gets darker and colder until the Solstice, so this country spirals further down the drain before the next government arrives.

It might take three parliaments to put right the huge damage done to our culture, our democracy and our society .

 

[banjo]

I recon we should give the lettuce a go. Couldn’t be any worse.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

And have you seen him since - don't seem to have heard from him much.
