Picking the next Conservative Party leader be like.. which sexually transmitted disease is my favourite?

First off - the loss of civilian life in Israel and Gaza over the past week is a tragedy.

But let's not forget that since the mid-2000's Israel has killed over 5 time more Palestinians, mainly civilians, than their own losses.

Israel is a bully and innocent Palestinians are paying the price.

Sunak says..

"I'm not being overshadowed by Truss or HS2 row"

I think we will be the judge of that fella. When you're not lying you are being weak and ineffective. You are pointless and this is evidenced by the headlines from the past few days and your inept pithy responses.

Pathetic.

Call a GE now and let's get the UK back on track with a non-Tory government.

Sunak is taking the public for idiots.. he is overtly trying to buy votes with populist policies to appeal to the uninformed.

This whole 'backing drivers' nonsense and new oilfields to protect our economy are just thinly veiled attempts to make the Tories look like they are on your side.

THEY ARE NOT WORKING FOR YOU.. THEY ARE WORKING FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT.

Rishi Sunak could limit 20mph zones to target driver vote

The PM is expected to order councils in England not to lower speed limits on main roads.

2/2 people with dark skin and funny accents are accused, wrongly, of stealing their wealth and opportunity. Otherism is about pitching groups against each other while the government makes policy and runs the country for their benefit and I blame those seduced by this rhetoric as much as the government itself.
So Tory voters.. I blame you too for why I am deeply ashamed to be British.

1/2 Apparently black Britons are not patriotic.

I'm not sure that your cultural heritage has much to do with your patriotism.

I am a white middle aged man who has undoubtedly benefited from privilege, yet still I am deeply ashamed to be British.

I blame much of this on the current government but it is not just their fault. They have simply uncovered a national self loathing brought on by otherism. The notion that there are groups in society responsible for all of the country's problems.

Yet more gaslighting by our Tory government saying that we should row back on net zero rather than bankrupt Britain when we all know that it doesn't work like that.
If the climate was a failed bank then we would bail it out in a heartbeat.

Rishi Sunak ‘planning to water down net zero pledges’ to win over voters

Weakening plans to phase out gas boilers and delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars could be scaled back

So Starmer says that he will rewrite the Brexit deal but not seek to rejoin the EU. Why is he so scared to say that he will aim to repair the damage inflicted by Brexit and if necessary would consider rejoining? Maybe this is a gradual shift in the right direction.
Surely this is the most reasonable policy.. unless he is a closet ERG Tory.

Brexit: Labour will seek re-write of deal, Starmer says

The agreement is due for review in 2025, which the Labour leader says is a key moment to reset relations.

If you haven't done so already, I thoroughly recommend checking out the 'Pod Save the UK podcast'.
This morning I listened to the latest ep, when Nish and Coco interviewed Jacqueline Mckenzie, a human rights lawyer. She has proof that the Tories have launched a smear campaign but to date, only the Guardian have reported on it.
How can this be allowed to happen?

Conservative HQ criticised for ‘targeted campaign’ against immigration lawyer

Law Society and Bar Council ‘gravely concerned’ over briefing sent to right-leaning papers calling Jacqueline McKenzie a ‘lefty lawyer’
