I know there’s a lot of choice but I think David Cameron is up there - he cut the green crap leaving us behind the game, he inflicted austerity on the poorest, he gambled with brexit and lost and inflicted -4% growth with the promise of jam some time eventually which could lead to the break up of the UK - any counter offers ?

Is everyone happy for the 600,000 who will benefit from the abolition of the 45% tax rate?

Yorkshire Bylines has been maintaining a list of the upsides to Brexit, and the downsides, all cross-referenced to source articles. Currently their list is standing at 22 'up-sides' and 754 'down-sides'. They are continuing to add to the list, so if you are looking for something specific, this could be a good place to start.

A few myths dispelled

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMNv5Fku4/

I found this possible solution from an organisation. I've left their name out so it doesn't politically influence commenters.

It's an energy war. Government must take control of UK energy production pricing.

UK energy producers obliged to sell to UK suppliers at 2021 average price or be nationalised.
Domestic cap returned to circa £1750 per year
Business cap at circa 35p per Kwh
Extra help still required for most vulnerable
Exists until normal market conditions return
Still exposed to global prices for circa 50% of gas needs , so approx 20% of total UK energy production.

I have no idea about the legality or otherwise, but its simplicity stands out.

By forcing all UK energy producers to sell at a fixed price, based on 2021, all the other parts of the jigsaw fall into place. As acknowledged, it still leaves the problem of imported gas, and for that matter electricity. Obviously gas power stations, for example, could not afford to sell electricity at 2021 prices, if they are now paying higher prices for imported gas. This could be resolved though by subsidising such imports.

It is also a much more comprehensive and a cleaner solution than the windfall taxes proposed, which don’t cover all energy producers.

Best of all, this proposal ensures that renewable generators do not get away with fleecing consumers, as they are now.

On my rare forays into Scooploop these days I am often criticised for quoting James O'Brien, or the Guardian; for being 'leftish', and for criticising the newsworthiness or political stance of such 'august' organs as the Daily Mail. I am told that our absent PM, Mr Johnson, is still doing a bang-up job, got all the big calls right, and is beyond reproach; that the current government is the answer to all the country's woes (rather than the cause), and has our best interests, rather than their's, at heart.

Well, I was delighted to find this article - written by a businessman - that entirely supports what the other people I trust are telling me.

OK, so I could be criticised for 'confirmation bias', but here's an independent source also describing how 12 years of Tory rule has completely stuffed-up* this country. (*Language moderated for publication!)

There's evidence Trump is losing popularity. Here's why.

" Increase in blaming Trump for Jan. 6: A Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that 40% of Republicans said before the last Jan. 6 hearing that they now "believe Trump is at least partially responsible for the deadly riot." That's up from 33% before the hearings.

A drop in Republicans saying the election was stolen: Reuters/Ipsos also found that before the hearings began, 67% of Republicans believed the election was stolen, now it's 55%.

More Republicans saying they don't want Trump to be the nominee: 55% of Republicans in a recent CNN poll said they don't want Trump to be their standard-bearer in 2024, up from 49% in February. Similarly, Reuters/Ipsos found a third of Republicans said Trump should not run again, up from a quarter before the Jan. 6 hearings."

This photo says it all. This group informs and is very interesting, full of facts and not biased political leftist rankings. I for one am very disappointed that we have lost Boris as a leader. Look at the positive things he achieved
Got us through Brexit
The Vaccination Program
Is a very respected world leader
And many more.
In his personal life, during his term as PM, he nearly died from COVID, his Mother died
The negative thing was that he lied about a meeting and having a works drink, incidentally so did Rayner and Starmer.

Who do you think might become leader of the Tories and PM, based on last night's debate?

I wonder what our country would be like now if Rory Stewart had become Tory leader?

However, the Tory Party is having sleaze allegations every week.

It proves that the electorate are fickle and have short memories

"Boris Johnson has dismissed as "crazy" suggestions that he’ll resign if he loses the by-elections in Tiverton and Honiton and Wakefield.

Speaking to reporters before he flew to Rwanda for the Commonwealth summit, the prime minister was asked how much responsibility he’d take if the Conservatives lost both seats.

He pointed to last year’s Tory win in the Hartlepool by-election, saying governing parties did not usually win by-elections, especially in mid-term. He has also said he'll be watching the results "with interest".

With expectation rife that losing both seats could further undermine the PM’s beleaguered leadership, the Conservatives have been careful to manage expectations ahead of tonight’s declarations.

Asked what he thought of suggestions that the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs could change party rules to engineer a second vote of confidence in his leadership, Johnson said the less you talked about Westminster issues, the more you were serving the country,"

Unfortunately for Boris, many voters want to talk about Westminster and want you removed.

Your thoughts....

I found this so sad and utterly depressing. There’s no easy answers but I can’t help thinking all the money we’ve supposedly saved through Brexit somehow hasn’t arrived at the door of the NHS.
