Steve Bray our new manager? That's a bit left field.

😁
Didn't realise until earlier that he's from Splott. Local boy - could be good!!!

Are you joking? Apart from consistent rising bills, mortgage payments have rocketed. Perhaps you don’t have one.

I do have one. What's your point in response to the point I was making?

Re: 5pm press conference from the PM

Jon Curtis seems to be predicting a leathering for the conservatives

Just getting them out of office would do for me

The likes of Braverman need to be voted out.

Not fit for Parliament.

I think given the ineptitude of starmer and the labour party's form for screwing it up I am starting at the foot of the mountain

Small boats policy solution now a deterrent

I can't believe they cancelled The Chase for this meaningless shit.

Re: 5pm press conference from the PM

Am surprised by today's news.

The reality is that the last four years have been very difficult economically. Nearly all of that has not been caused by the govt, although of course an argument can be made they made it worse or whatever, but the reality is that the news this year is, and will be, better than has been the case.

I'm surprised they aren't waiting til early autumn for more of that to feed through, whilst still benefitting from any general feel good factor that summer brings.

Ladies and Gentlemen

This was a party political broadcast by the conservatives

Presented by the chairman of Cardiff Young Conservatives

That's why it's so laughable and full of excuses

Re: 5pm press conference from the PM

I hope so. We want something to believe in.

So people will vote for one thing.

And then get a Government that does things they may not want?

Just been looking on You Tube, Sunak’s announcement is getting some awful reviews even from the likes of the Spectator with the general consensus being that the whole thing was a farce - as Andrew Neil pointed out, this Government spent a lot of money building a room in Downing Street/Whitehall designed specifically for such occasions, why not have the announcement made from there given the weather forecast (he wouldn’t have been audibly drowned out by a Labour campaign song then) or, at the very least provide an umbrella for him?

He's hopeless

Totally inept

He looks cowardly then. Him and his team would have agonised over this exact point. It did almost look like he wanted to get out and back in the door as quickly as possible.

I thought they would go in May before the migrant route started up with good weather, maybe they were banking on rwanda being blocked by the lords but this looks like one of two things now:

- They aren't confident Rwanda will work as a deterrent and want to fight the election without it being in place, essentially a 'get flights done' platform.

- Rishi was pushed into it by letters going in

May also might have improved their council results as people are more likely to leave their houses to vote.

I actually think he believes 'things' will actually get worse in the coming months. Immigration now 680,000 pa, interest rates probably going back up, Rwanda plan failing, and - mistakenly - believing that Farage would join Reform and this would leave them ill-prepared. He's toast.

Sunak is toast ?
