    Luckily, these are just the last desperate acts of an unelected Prime Minister, who only got the job because the last one crashed the economy inside a month (who only got the job because the last one was Boris Johnson). He knows that the party will be condemned to irrelevance next year and is anxious to find anything that could possibly resonate with enough voters

    Ironically Rishi Sunak famously doesn’t really drive, and once had to borrow someone else’s car for a publicity stunt where he inadvertently demonstrated that he doesn’t even know how to fill one up with petrol. Sadly he doesn’t drive because hes a gazillionaire, not because he uses public transport

        Have you seen the polls in the last two years? Or the that a majority of prominent Conservative MPs for the last ten years have already announced they won’t run next year to avoid their own little portillo moments?

        They know they’re done and are holding on for either a miracle or something like this policy change to stick. Which isn’t impossible, but that there’s a good chance of him winning an election is what is wishful thinking. They’re done.

          God I hope so. I really can’t imagine having to put up with another 5 years of this Tory clusterfuck. I genuinely think I would rather move abroad
