It's tragic given how horrifyingly shit Sadiq Khan is (as I'm sure all of us on here can agree on) and yet this is the best the Tories can offer? Anyone with an ounce of competence, passion and/or intelligence would annihilate Khan. He will continue to run London into the ground for many years to come. What don’t you like about Khan? He is well liked in London generally.

Bloody hell! I have a 90 year old relative in a nursing home with advanced dementia who is better able to express herself than that! It is utterly staggering that idiots like this have made it so far in politics. She is absolutely thick as mince, how could she not know the difference between perception and evidence? I truly hope she never ends up doing jury service! Thinking of getting into politics myself off the back of what I’ve seen these last few years

Oh what a surprise, nobody saw this coming did they?
The incompetence is utterly staggering and just how much of the tax payer's money has been wasted on this ridiculous charade?

It's tragic given how horrifyingly shit Sadiq Khan is (as I'm sure all of us on here can agree on) and yet this is the best the Tories can offer? Anyone with an ounce of competence, passion and/or intelligence would annihilate Khan. He will continue to run London into the ground for many years to come. What don’t you like about Khan? He is well liked in London generally. He will cruise to victory (much like Starmer) because of his opposition, not because he is "well liked". Werent polls before Christmas showing 50% of Londoners thought Khan was doing "badly"? Albeit that still leaves half of Londoners who think he's not doing badly, but I think to say he's "well liked" is a big stretch. The better question would be what do I like about Khan? He is literally the polar opposite to what I would want in a politician representing my country. Starting with his painful levels of arrogance and massive ego, evident most recently in his decision to stand for a third term, his constant snarling towards over 50% of the UK that voted for Brexit, his total disregard for working class drivers and the utterly cringe worthy fireworks display on new years eve. In terms of policies or lack of, he has presided over significant rises in gun and knife crime, a met police force that is totally hopeless, his abject failure to deal with the London housing crisis, failure tackle council tax rises, his absurd ulez scheme, his continued endorsement of more immigration, his disgusting, unforgivable support of lockdowns which totally destroyed businesses and livelihoods in London - to name but a few. But then again, it's subjective isn't it? You love the EU (so does he), you love immigration, you were a huge supporter of lockdowns and you're a green enthusiast - So maybe that explains why you like him? Just thirdly to finish off, on the culture wars I couldn't disagree with him more. From his belief that Trans can indeed be women and use female facilities (ironic given his previous feminist stance), his relentless race baiting (how can we forget his ill judged comments that a "white family doesn't represent real Londoners") and he throws "fascism" around like its going out of fashion. Let's also not forget his creepy nanny state campaigns ("say maaaate to a mate" comes to mind) and the fact he's a total eco zealot. Again though, you love this kind of stuff, I imagine we have very little common ground on politics so whatever I think is bad, you're going to think it's good and vise versa. Enlighten me, tell me why you like Khan?

Possibly their most expensive dog whistle exercise to date, they'll do anything to keep the Daily Mail/Express on their side. Not that they'll give two shits about the amount being spent, the budget won't be theirs to worry about for much longer 😡

Oh what a surprise, nobody saw this coming did they? The incompetence is utterly staggering and just how much of the tax payer's money has been wasted on this ridiculous charade? If the Rwanda Bill can ever be tested in a UK Court Cameron's words in the debate may come back to haunt him. Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron urged his fellow peers to back the bill. "It's not acceptable to have people travelling from a perfectly safe country - France - to another safe country - Britain - and to be able to stay, and that's what the Rwanda plan is all about," he said. The UK Human Rights Act 1998 is a cut and paste of ECHR which says precisely this is what an Asylum Seeker can do It would therefore be necessary to amend HRA to make Rwanda Bill compatible with UK Law as it stands.

If she’s the best that can be offered there’s a huge problem. She didn’t know how much police officers got paid but wanted more of them on the streets. You’d have thought she’d have briefed herself.

So none of its the mayor's fault? Interestingly that's what Khan says! Party politics is painful. Just accept that other people and parties can be shit as well as this Tory government. Believe it or not, the two can co-exist. Khan has been a disaster.

Anyone would think these dumb mp's have suddenly realised they are 8 months away from being out of a job if they stick with Sunak. He'll be very lucky to see it through to the election.

They won’t have a job anyways. Honestly, who next? Who is even left? 😂 It’s pathetic. Any leadership change now is just for a desperate attempt to get more peers in the HoL and another asshole on a lifetime pension.

It is an incredibly sad state of affairs we’ve managed to get ourselves into. As a developed nation to have these levels of poverty, these low levels of living standards and genuine risks to peoples health is a scandal.

Genuine question, where would Truss and Kwasi sit on your spectrum? Would you consider them “actual conservatism”? I think Hunt is happy to appear centrist, as it would make him a potential choice as a successor but he is definitely a turd.

One was a member of the Liberal Democrats and changes their tune more time than a dodgy record player and the other has barely ever voiced his stance on any number of issues. Certainly not conservative/right of centre/right wing if that's your question. This idea that there is a "right of the Conservative Party" is comical. They would all betray their principles and alleged conservative values if it meant climbing the greasy poll - excuse the pun. 😎 Many on the left can't distinguish between incompetence and actual conservative policies. We've seen barely anything of the latter in decades.
