I bet they've announced this just to collect more subscription fees from fools who think they'll actually do something.

Expelling all your enemies from the Tory party in this situation sounds like a great way to lose your majority and be painted as marginalised by your own actions; like it sounds like an unbelievably stupid thing to do. Am I missing something?

They locked themselves in to striking for some pretty wild demands at the last conference and they've been working with other unions to coordinate an early 2023 NHS-wide walkout since. Maybe they'll flake or get dealt with by the govt somehow but iirc they want 30% pay rise and funding in all areas to be restored to pre 2012 levels, so they might be serious

Suella Braverman has said she's going to rewrite the slavery laws to prevent Albanian boat people from coming to the UK... just as we're going to be rewriting human rights so we can attack the <cough> immigrants <cough>... nothing of this will affect YOU!... honest...

I gotta say, for someone who survived in three PM’s cabinets and rose to the top of the party/country, I’m impressed by how bad Truss appears to be at politics.

tereezer managed to hold onto the Home Office for over six years but the skills that enabled her to do so didn't transfer to the role of PM, in which she was as effective as a shithouse made entirely from poo poo

When I was obsessed with the Roman Emperors I got the sense that there were some people who didn’t really get that your power is always constrained by the possibility of losing it, and that this was still true even if you are supposed to be the person in charge of everything. This feels extremely true here

This feels extremely true here Augustus was just way ahead of his time. For example the way he would let people have their lovely little protests where they speak out against him, as a pressure valve.

Nenonen posted:Before there was modern office of prime minister, the lord high treasurer held the same role. At least Edward Seymour, the King's uncle, was beheaded. His brother shot the King's dog. Ehhh not really, no. Hell, monarchs in the 18th century were a lot more directly involved in the day to day of politics, the Prime Minister then really was a Minister not the head of government. As the name suggests, ''Lord High Treasurer' maps more closely onto the modern role of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for most of the period. Unlike now, the monarch always had the option of firing them at their leisure and taking direct control if they wished to. Lord Protector, like Seymour, is a whole other thing, if Charles were 8 and not in his 60s we'd probably have something of the sort now. That's virtual-king so is the head of government. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Oct 2, 2022 |

Just thinking out loud here, but are all politicians not subjected to that sort of all of the time? In a country of 60 odd million, I'd have thought that they'd be pretty much protestors who hate your gut at every single event you ever go to.

I hope people are starting to realise their 'plan'. Redefining human rights and slavery laws. Cutting 'red tape' (aka rights and protections), Freeport tax zones.... We've already lost our right to protest any of this poo poo. In a nutshell, George Orwell was an optimist.

The question, though, is which 'them' would re-invite the rebels after an ideological purge this major. Truss and Kwarteng will be going for some really stringent tests of loyalty to cripple or drive out their internal opposition.
