How are the people of Fylde voting for a Tory, and this Tory of all Tories? Mind-bottling.

I liked the bits where he got questioned by Police over allegedly getting a dog pissed and turned up boozed at the Proms. Sounds like a stand up character.

Wouldn’t be the dying days of a long standing Tory administration without a few financial and rent boy scandals thrown in for good measure

Lots of social media speculation and rumours brewing that a big announcement could be imminent.

View is that April 2024's CPI figures are as close to good news as this government is likely to get, and that there is a risk of a further increase in Q4. Therefore, this could be the optimal time (if that's the right phrase) for the Tories to call a snap General Election.

Probably bollocks, but whatever.

When can we expect the long awaited Houthi supply line inflation to kick in?

Who knows with Sunak, plenty of form with announcements and set pieces that leave people wondering WTF was all the fuss about

The CPI numbers weren't that great and the market rate reduction expectations are not looking for summer cuts now

Not sure it is bollocks for the reasons you've stated already. A hedge fund commercial tenant who rent space in a building we manage (and apparently have big chums in the Tory Party) have been predicting an imminent announcement for the last 2 weeks.

Glad we are watching the Tories rather than Labour. They are the ones that need close scrutiny.

Latest immigration stats in from the ONS, and this is impressive.

Total net migration in the whole of the last two decades of the 20th century was 606,000. We're now doing that in a single year. And that's after the Tories took back control of our borders in 2016.

I hate to say "I told you so" (that's a lie, I live for it), but I distinctly recall posting at the time of the Brexit vote that anyone voting for Brexit because they wanted to see immigration reduce were being taken for mugs. The real backers of Brexit never wanted to reduce immigration. They just wanted more of it, but at a cheaper cost.
