Re: Tory Watch
The D Day Commemoration event, attended by world leaders and being the last one which will have survivor veterans present, and the Prime Minister abandoned it to fly back and do a political interview with ITV. An interview to deny that he lied about Labour's tax increases, which won't even be shown until next week.
Even senior Tory cheerleaders are turning their backs on him now. But who advised him that doing such a thing was a good idea? Has Starmer got a saboteur inside Sunak's team?

Re: Tory Watch
Is it cynical to suspect that the Tory election strategy is literally “present Sunak as an exaggerated version of an incompetent, so that after the election the Tories can recalibrate by drawing a line under the Sunak era rather than having to fully address the 14 years of power”?

Re: Tory Watch
I think you're giving them a lot more credit than they deserve.
Everyone knows that the core tory support and the olds generally love the wars and d-day and all that and not being there was suicidal electorally.

Re: Tory Watch
Something tells me that this isn't going to cut it. Sunak has seriously f*cked up here, and this is going to roll on.

They're proper panicking. I had actual work to do today but it now looks like I'm going to have to get the biscuits and get scrolling.

If he wasn't already nailed on to lose, and lose incredibly heavily, this would undoubtedly be a moment where you go "he's toast".

Re: Tory Watch
It does indeed look like he’s being set up. It makes perfect sense to reduce him to an even bigger tw*t than he is in order to blame all the Tories woes on him.CEB wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:02 am Is it cynical to suspect that the Tory election strategy is literally “present Sunak as an exaggerated version of an incompetent, so that after the election the Tories can recalibrate by drawing a line under the Sunak era rather than having to fully address the 14 years of power”?
Ridiculous of course. The Tories have fecked us over for 14 years and Sunak has been a bit player at best during that period. But the ploy will go down well with many.
The Politics of Personality - it’s all one person’s fault and it will be better when X takes over instead. As long as you have Charisma you’re the one for the job! Love Island meets Westminster. I suppose they’re both about feckin as many people as possible.

Re: Tory Watch
I’m reminded of a moment in the 2010 election campaign, when Gordon Brown called a life-long Labour supporter a “bigoted woman”, unaware that what he said was audible to the media. He later apologised – and rightly so – but it demonstrated to me just how out-of-touch he was with many traditional Labour voters, and the election was subsequently lost.
Rishi Sunak leaving early from the D Day event is astonishing, as with Brown, as apology issued, but if anything demonstrated how out-of-touch he is with the majority of voters, including traditional Conservative voters, it was that, and the disastrous campaign reaches a new low. Great for Labour and Reform UK I’d think.

I asked how it was going and he replied "Good. But people are so racist tho"
It looks like you're onto something there EDO. If Starmfuerher Keith was to do more public racisms Labour would walk it.

Would have been forgiven if he had to leave due to a family emergency, but just for an ITV interview, wow!
This, the apparent lying about Labour putting up taxes, what they got up to when we weren't even allowed to see loved ones and no doubt plenty of other stuff, even if Tory is the only party you would ever vote for, how can anyone stick by them now.

Re: Tory Watch
Has a sitting PM ever resigned during an election campaign previously? I don't see how he can survive this. His non-apology on Sky a little while ago seems to be making things worse.
