UK Politics IV - In Lies we Don't Truss

[sherbz]

Cant believe Dominic Raab is on that list. My list goes:

Rory Stewart
Ruth Davidson
John Major

Cant bring myself to write anyone else down.

 

[Arakhor]

That's a fairly decent list. There's Ken Clarke, as well.

 

[Kyriakos]

Not immortal Heseltine?

 

[Samson]

I just cannot believe Tebbit is up there.

Not immortal Hesseltine?

He is at position 19, 72% have heard of and 17% like.

 

[Kyriakos]

I just cannot believe Tebbit is up there.

He is at position 18, 72% have heard of and 17% like.

How (un)popular is this one?

13th with 68% known and 18%.

What I have just found out is each famous persons page has a list of who and what people who like that figure like. For Michael Heseltine the only people I recognise were Phil Grayling and Elon Musk. The first one the thinh list is bingo, which makes a lot of sense. Lamont has Rupert Murdoch, which makes sense.

It is out now:

Kwasi Karteng Chancellor
James Cleverly: Foreign Secretary
Suella Braverman: Home Secretary
Therese Coffey: Health Secretary and deputy PM

 

[Kyriakos]

I've only heard of one of the above four, and even that one only from this thread.

 

[AmazonQueen]

Rees-Mogg for Business and Energy which is scary.

 

[EnglishEdward]

..and for the 19th century..

 

[Senethro]

A denialist in climate. Very bad.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, we don't have a single white man in any of the Great Offices of State, which is unprecedented. Just a shame that whilst the Tories are clapping themselves on the back for not being racists any more, the country is rapidly going to the dogs.

And an anti abortionist as health secretary

As a backbencher in 2010, [the new health secretary Therese Coffey] introduced a motion in Parliament which called for "mental health assessments" for women seeking an abortion.​

​

Her motion in 2010 said: "In its 14 March 2008 statement the Royal College of Psychiatrists advised that healthcare professionals who assess or refer women who are requesting an abortion should assess for mental disorder and for risk factors that may be associated with its subsequent development" and called on the government to "give its full backing to mental health assessments for women presenting for abortion".​

Personally i dont think this matters. Or doesnt preclude her from being health secretary.

 

[Kyriakos]

I dream of Jeannie.

 

[Takhisis]

A denialist in climate. Very bad.

More subsidies for oil companies paid for by taxing solar, right?

 

[Snorrius]

Russian ex-President Dmitry Medvedev's comments on new UK prime-minister:

Changing of the guard in Britain: the freak-uncle left, the freak-aunt came.

The new prime minister:

a) an incompetent and mediocre hard-core Russophobe who has no even elementary knowledge about politics, history, geography, but who wants to defeat Russia in everything;

b) cosplays Margaret Thatcher, not possessing her abilities even by 5 percent;

c) expects to overcome the energy crisis and food inflation, which have become the result of her own crazy sanctions exercises. She will quarrel with everyone, fail everything and leave in disgrace, like her predecessor, shaggy Boriska. Well, in Britain, famous for its traditions, it seems that there is another one.

 

[Arakhor]

Sorry to disappoint Medvedev, but it's not about Russia at all, and any study at all of the Tories will tell you that. They're just the flavour of 2022, and an acceptable target.

 

[Kyriakos]

Why think Med is of the view Truss/Bozo are a joke outside of Russia due to their reaction to Russia?
Another way to put it: why expect Med to not mention their stance on Russia, when he is a former prime minister of that country.

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

Suggesting if wanting an abortion implies you need your head checked.. is scary and draconian. Silly women, can't trust them to make up their own little minds!

A denialist in climate. Very bad.

Similar to an Abortionist in Health.. how is these even allowed!
