A Political Thread pt. 2

[Weldit]

Europe and Johnson killed the party. Howard and IDS were completely useless and Hague should of waited post Blair landslide.

But Brexit made them go complete bannanas on their Brexit by any cost strategy. Johnson throwing out all the moderates just left the idiots and they had no talent remaining. Sunak I just don't get his view he was a leader for 10-15 years time when they had a chance at power again.

Sunak just saw the opportunity to further himself I think. He was never really that interested in the role. It was all about finance and power.

And it's ignored that those earners are paying federal taxes, so they work at a discount to taxpayers.

MTG is certainly 1 example of a federal worker who doesn't deserve their job!
I can think of a few others...

People have thier weird thing since Reagan/Thatcher that government departments should be run like businesses. But they aren't businesses.

And then they sold off the business elements...

His televised cabinet meeting was something else. He has started inviting pastors in to pray with the cameras rolling - a bit like saying grace before a meal which will get lapped up by many of his supporters even though he's not exactly a devout christian himself.

He also claimed that border crossings are down by "over 100%" since he took office.

Would that in theory mean that Americans are crossing the border into Mexico...?

He's also rolling out the red carpet for rich Russian oligarchs who were forced to leave the UK/Europe by offering a $5m golden visa which buys residency in the US and a green card. Guess he wants them and their dirty money in America buying up Trump real estate.
