That’s capitalism for you. Didn't Jacob Rees-twatface's dad write a book on disaster capitalism? You mean this one? "The time to buy is when blood is running in the streets" or, if you can't achieve that, get the chancellor Kwarteng to tip you off just before he fucks the economy so your hedge fund can make maximum profits from it.

I absolutely wouldn't but equally don't quite know how Farage is being painted as the lesser of two evils? In a hypothetical question where you are asked choose one option or the other, it's very difficult not to make one option the lesser of two evils. If someone asked me if I'd rather eat a shit sandwich or spunk on toast and I chose spunk on toast, it doesn't mean the next morning I'm clearing out the corn flakes to make way for jars and jars of fresh jizz. So what you're saying is that you like spunk on toast. Personally, it's too salty for my liking.

Struggling to understand how anyone thinks Farage should be anywhere near power. A racist a bigot and an extreme free marketeer. Oh and he's a twat. I’m struggling to think of anyone in politics in the U.K. i’d have any trust in or find likeable. The last leader / PM I liked as a person was John Smith though I didn’t mind Major just he was a bit grey. That's hardly surprising if you don't follow politics or the news, though.

If you mean I don’t study it and obsess about it I guess I’m guilty as charged. I guess work, gym, golf, homelife, having fun and other non essential things get in the way.

To be fair if you added up the time it took you to type out your “I didn’t do politics, they’re all as bad as each other” posts on here you probably could have done a Politics open university degree…… 😂

That's pretty damning for both parties. I wonder what the answers would be if you stuck the Reform party in there..even though, to my knowledge, they don't have much of a manifesto. Would they take a significant share of the 40 odd percent who don't trust either party on the 4 issues?

I agree that it's hardly an endorsement for either of the Party's most likely to form the next Government I'm not sure why Reform enters the equation when it's Leader has failed 7 times to get elected and the Party is running neck and neck with the Greens on 6%

Only one poll but 'not sure' has the biggest numbers That’s the failing of the Labour Party. With a ruined economy and a failing health service, people are still not sure that a change to Labour is the right way to go. It’s also the interesting thing about scandals today. In many ways, I feel like one, well-timed scandal is so much more powerful than 10’s of others across a campaign. People desensitize.

It may be like always. They get a reasonable share of the votes but win no seats but may be able to stop Tories winning marginals. All for Green increasing their share. The more parties winning seats the better I think it will be for everyone.

In many ways, I feel like one, well-timed scandal is so much more powerful than 10’s of others across a campaign. People desensitize. That's true, it is the failure of the Opposition. But it's also a reflection of the rather immature nature of England's society, that many will look to the comfort blanket of the Conservative Party regardless of what they've done to the country over the last decade and a half. It takes a lot of reinforcement from large sections of the Press to get to that point, constantly drumming home the sanctity of the royal family and the upper classes, Oxbridge and Eton, they know best, don't question too much, peasants, otherwise the other lot might get in and imagine how much worse that might be than all the shit we've served up over the last ten years. But that's where we are, I think. As I've said many times on here, there are a lot of people who don't mind if the Tories burn it all to shit, so long as it's "their side" that does it, it can be forgiven. We're seeing that already with how Sunak, despite being at the heart of the Tory government for most of the last five years, is now the "electable" face of the Conservative Party because Johnson and Truss are, somehow, no longer associated with it!

Laura Kuenssberg: Can we avoid a summer of strikes?
Maybe just me but a strangely worded headline. Just the use of "we" suggests it's as though us the public can do something to avoid it.
Surely should be:
Laura Kuenssberg: Record breaking strikes continue to disrupt country. When will the government get their act together?

You mean this one? "The time to buy is when blood is running in the streets" or, if you can't achieve that, get the chancellor Kwarteng to tip you off just before he fucks the economy so your hedge fund can make maximum profits from it. Lovely, friendly and thoroughly Patriotic family. The tories are about class... not the country. The biggest trick this lot ever pulled off was convincing the man on the street that the likes of Rees-Mogg (whose wife benefitted from a 7 million pound grant to do her house up) was one of them and on their side.
