Rishi Sunak’s Hall pass

Rishi Sunak’s Hall pass

I am really starting to worry about Rishi Sunak on a personal level, he is utterly deluded if he thinks Susan Hall can win the London mayoralty and help Sunak win the general election. This is a bunker mentality, Sunak is investing a lot of hope, like a former Chancellor of Germany did with Felix Steiner during the Battle for Berlin, and Hall’s victory will save him from the man of steel Sir Keir Starmer’s oncoming Red Army. Bunker mentalities…

Ayrshire hotelier’s troubles mount

Ayrshire hotelier’s troubles mount

PM for PM

PM for PM

Both the Telegraph and the Mail are reporting on a plan to install Penny Mordaunt as Prime Minister which has at least underlying logic behind it. As we can see from the latest Ashcroft polling she’s the only Tory who is seen as net asset rather than a net liability.

Sunak and stopping the boats

“Our priority is to stop the boats, which is why we have taken robust action to crack down on vile people smuggling gangs, deter migrants from making dangerous crossings and, alongside our French counterparts, intercept vessels. “This relentless action reduced crossings by 36% last year, despite numbers soaring by 80% in the Mediterranean, and more than 26,000 attempts were prevented.” UK Home Office, 8th March 2024.
