Tories already backing down. Apparently Frost rewrote latest speech to strike more moderate tone after US intervention and phone call from a shit scared Bojo. Boys against men

Just keep praying that Trump doesn't get back in because if he does it'll turn the whole thing into a shit show, the Tories and Trump will bend over backwards to formalise Britain as the 51st State leading to a lot of short term pain for Ireland. Tump and the Tories won't give one f**k about the collateral while they line their pockets and push their particular brand of racist narrow self interest front and centre.

Doesn't sound a backing down type of speech.

Unionists are being gaslit 24/7

This Tory government has had a brutal last few weeks in terms of ongoing allegations of sleaze and corruption and if the media turn on Johnson then he could be toast at any stage of their choosing. The problem is that there is no obvious successor, they are a cabinet full of mostly power hungry, right wing bluffers whose only concern is self interest and any of the more reasonable Tories are long gone since Johnson took centre stage.

Johnson having to stand up at COP26 and give a speech stating that the UK were not a corrupt country just summed up the current state of the UK government at the minute. They look like a nation who are increasingly isolated with no real clue of where the end game with Brexit is taking them.

Don't worry about the Tories, they're masters at regeneration. Rishi Sunak, Lynn Truss or that slimy man-reptile Michael Gove would be in line once BJ gets heaved.

Truss as PM would be something else.

The Tories are in a similar state to the one they were in in the early 90s. They have been in power for too long and have run out of ideas. FF had a dose of it in 2008-11.

However, in the 1990s Labour had an able and popular leader in Blair to take over things.

It shows how absolutely banjaxed Labour are when they cannot turn the tide in their favour after Tory screw up after screw up, Brexit, Covid itself, Covid contracts issued to their mates - some of the goings-on are criminal, the Patterson affair etc. The list goes on and on.

The Tories eviscerated Corbyn as a perceived risk to their stay in power, Starmer getting no such treatment as no risk of winning a general election, almost as if he was hand picked by the Tories themselves. They are a horribly cynical election winning machine, reptilian as correctly pointed out in a previous post.
