I reckon it will be Liz's old job of foreign Sec.

Erm….no it’s not Dave. Not at all.

//bhg, you've been listening to the lefties wet dreams again.//

No, I've been around long enough to see what happens when a party upsets the electorate; they've already broken their promise on the Triple Lock, upsetting the Grey Voters; Teresa May felt the pain from that one. It doesn't even have to be a real policy, just a perceived one such as inflation taking off and people vote for another party. It doesn't have to be Labour, just not Tory, and the majority evaporates.disappears.

[davebro]

yes it is Zacs - yes it is.

[davebro]

I can do this as long as you can!

//So white people are the default colour are they, from which we must distinguish all other races? Jesus talk about ignorant! Have you ever heard a black person refer to themselves as non-white?//

You ever heard a Hindu refer to themselves as black?

[Zacs-Master]

Crikey someone turned the ‘childish’ control to 11, I see.

BHG There has been a teenzy weenzy bit of a series of crises you know, almost since Boris won in 2019, there has not been normal times. There is plenty of time to get back in shape to kick Labour's April in 2024.

For any vertebrates out there my offer of a wager still stands, the PM after the next GE will be a Tory £20 to chirridee.

[Zacs-Master]

Fatti, you need to have a think about that one. To call anyone who isn’t white ‘non-white’ is pretty ignorant. So you think a Hindu would say, if asked their ethnicity ‘oh yes, I’m non white’. ?

[Ken4155]

Yeah, i know, a week is a long time, etc, etc, but still......

I’ll leave the semantics to you me old china, unless you want to have a go at addressing the issues in the New PM thread that I highlighted, ToraToraTora is not speaking to me so perhaps you could have a go?

[davebro]

there are a multitude of ethnicities who aren't classed as white - if you want to refer to that grouping specifically you say "non-white".

[Zacs-Master]

And how do you think non-white people feel about that, Dave?

[THECORBYLOON]

"So you think a Hindu would say, if asked their ethnicity ‘oh yes, I’m non white’. ?

They wouldn't, if they were white.

anneasquith asks the right question.

UK leadership contender Rishi Sunak indicated he would not serve in a government run by his Conservative rival Liz Truss if she becomes prime minister next month.

“One thing I have reflected on quite a bit being in government, in cabinet the last few years -- you really need to agree with the big things,” the former chancellor, who is expected to lose the Tory party leadership contest, told BBC Radio 2 on Monday. “Because it’s tough, as I found out, when you don’t and I wouldn’t want to end up in a situation like that again.”

Frankly my dear I don't give a damn!

[davebro]

Good.

no reason for Sunak to go down with a second sinking ship.

[davebro]

[ToraToraTora]
