Can anyone explain how Keir Starmer was able to "block" the government building more houses as Sunak claimed when Labour only have around 200 MPs?

It's referring to the nutrient thing that was blocked in the Lords. This will make it harder in the future to build houses. The idea that it's stopped houses being built now is bollocks.

Another shit sandwich left for Labour. Lots of Sunak's party are going to be very happy to see this stuff.

These outbursts are proving just how lightweight and brittle Sunak is. He is easy to rile, and his patter struggles to get above the level of a twelve-year-old. "He who smelled it dealt it." Fucking cretin.

I can imagine though that Dacre and co. will try to offer up these petulant images as some kind of proof that Sunak really is as hard as nails. The gammon and the Reform School mob might swallow it.

It's a good thing he doesn't control anything significant, like nuclear weapons.

You do wonder if, not content with ruining the economy so Labour has more mess to pick up, certain elements in the Tory party might be thinking that giving Sunak his head is the best way of ensuring electoral wipeout, meaning they can rebuild it how they want. We had to destroy the party in order to save it.

Tetchy man gets tetchy denying he's tetchy, and this in a (friendly) Spectator interview

Looks fucking tetchy to me...

Spoiled kid.

Almost Corbynesque levels of techiness, there. “Can I just finish ?!!!”

Now he's all but promised much bigger tax cuts to The Spectator. No doubt these will be "funded" (ie balanced on a spreadsheet) by some unspecified cuts after the election. The post-election plans are already absolute fantasy. I don't know what powers the OBR have to call this out.

Given up on governing.

They've pretty much given up on the OBR. To them it's become the older brother telling them not to blow all their pocket money on sweeties because they need the bus fare home.

Rishi Sunak criticised for not appointing dedicated minister for disabled people

and here's one reason why no appointment

Sunak seems to think being annoyed is the same as being passionate. Starmer’s speech after partygate was full of anger and obvious disgust, but it was anger aimed at the man who let it happen *because* Starmer is passionate about public office being an opportunity to selflessly do good and Johnson is the antithesis of that.

Sunak’s anger in his response to Starmer in PMQs isn’t because his record was being questioned - because his record is obviously poor. He was angry it was being pointed out and he was being made to look bad. But he didn’t want to do anything about *being* bad, just about the exposure of it. His ‘passion’ is self-preservation and shameless self-promotion. Which is why pictures of his gurning, and similarly of Johnson’s blotchy rage face when the mask slips for him, give out an entirely different vibe. It’s not how dare you do that terrible thing, it’s how dare you try and make me look terrible.

We raspberries only ever vote red, so what's the problem?

Keir's shit sandwich, part 902.

The newly single Georgia Faschista is somewhat taken by the overwhelmingly minted brown lad from foreign climes. Dunno how her base will swallow this.

They seem happy, mind, so that's nice.

Sunak’s currently at Meloni’s right wing nutbag conference ranting about immigrants. With special guest Elon Musk talking white replacement conspiracy theory nonsense. With friends like that..

Ah 2023, I've not googled it and I have no idea whether this is real or satire.

When he wasn’t clapping Musk, Sunak told the conference there is too many fit young foreigners coming into Europe. If liberal immigration policies aren’t solving labour shortages caused by demographic decline, politicians need to come up with something more convincing than telling women to pop out more kids they don’t want.

At a political festival organised by Italian leader Giorgia Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy party, US billionaire Elon Musk has claimed that having more children is the only way to reverse the population declines threatening the economies of many advanced countries. https://www.euronews.com/2023/12/16/elo ... es-in-rome
