Nobody Voted For A Billionaire Goldman Sachs Prime Minister

Image
Rishi Sunak, the Goldman Sachs Prime Minister, should have his feet - and those £450 Prada loafers - well and truly under the desk by now.  I ask you, what do you have in common with a Prime Minister that thinks absolutely nothing of blowing £3,500 on a tailored suit? Believe me, you have more in common with a builder, a nurse and a street sweeper than you ever will have in common with a billionaire.  Sunak’s rise to the top wasn’t accidental. It has been meticulously planned with the help of a well-oiled PR operation and regular appearances from a £45 Everlane hoodie - because that’s what us commoners wear, apparently.  The idea was to present super-rich Sunak as some sort of poster boy of voguish success and prosperity - someone for Joe Public to aspire to be like.  Again, I must ask, What do you have in common with the Prime Minister that studied at the £42,000-per-year Winchester College and later at Oxford University? You have more in common with a cleaner, a call-centre worker, a

The Contemptible MPs Wanting To Bring Back Boris Johnson: They Must Lose Their Seats

  I must admit, I didn’t think Liz Truss and the tyranny of the talentless that surrounds the former Prime Minister would last until Thursday lunchtime. “Talentless?”, scream the few outraged Tories that are still brave enough to declare their unequivocal support for the crestfallen Truss.  Yes, talentless.  James Cleverly , the Foreign Secretary, is talentless. If stupidity was a talent Cleverly would score full marks, every time.  Grant Shapps , the new Home Secretary, is talentless. If making up pseudonyms to sell shit on the internet was a talent, Shapps would have a golden turd-shaped medal hanging around his neck.  Therese Coffey , the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and the Deputy Prime Minister, is talentless. If getting a top job in government simply for being a close friend of the idiot in office was a talent, Coffey would park her backside on a platinum throne and spark up a big Cuban cigar in celebration of her unrivalled talent. Jacob Rees-Mogg , the Secreta

No Credibility And No Authority - Truss Has Got To Go

  The Conservative government - Liz Truss’s shambles of an apocalyptic shitshow masquerading as a government - is in complete and utter disarray.  Don’t you just love to see it?  The only people that detest the Tories more than us would seem to be the Tories themselves going by the fact the very cornerstones of government are collapsing around Truss’s ears as the blue-on-blue civil war rages on.  I have waited years for this. I expect you have too. Sure, we can go back to way before 2010, neoliberalism didn’t start with the pig fancier and the coke sniffer with a thing for sex workers. David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Jim Davidson, Liz Cundy, Ken Barlow, and Margaret Thatcher, your boys, and girls, are taking one hell of a beating, and I hope it never stops. You see, they were still pretending the catastrophic fallout from Kwarteng’s disastrous bankers mini-budget didn’t have anything to with Kwarteng’s disastrous bankers mini-budget - which was fully agreed by Liz Truss.

Calamitous Truss Will Keep The Conservatives Out Of Power For A Generation

  Coming along and saying you stand against the “anti-growth coalition”, just days after crashing the economy - and currently presiding over Dickensian living standards - really does take some brass neck, even by the Tories standards.  I have heard some unconvincing nonsense over the years. “Get Brexit Done”, breaking laws in a “limited and specific way”, “I didn’t attend any party”, and how could we ever forget, “nothing has changed”?  The Tories are in a whole world of shit - a bit like our sea and rivers - but don’t you just love to see it? The Tories collapsing I mean, not the free-flowing sewage.  I heard earlier this week that Liz Truss is already even more unpopular than Boris Johnson was at his very lowest point, which is quite some achievement so soon into her reign of pain.  But get this, friends of the left, Liz Truss is even less popular than our own Jeremy Corbyn ever was, although you wouldn’t know that if you only ever rely on mainstream media as your news source of choi
