The Israeli regime army issued a statement this evening (Wednesday) claiming that it has gained operational control over the axis known as "Philadelphia" on the border lines of occupied Palestine and #Egypt.
Remember the BS talks by Al-Sisi, #Biden, #Sunak, #Macron and other assholes about the red lines in Rafah?
None of them lifting a finger about the slaughter of the innocent Palestinians who are stuck in #Rafah with no where to go.
Ministers critiquing the back of the envelope policies of their PM, taking their holidays during the election campaign, MPs throwing in the towel and backing Reform candidates, a peer and former minister claiming the PM will be off to California in a few weeks…
Kind of gives the impression that #Sunak’s own party loathe him and can’t wait to see him gone, no?
I guess he thought setting the date for an election was kind of like planning a suprise birthday for someone…he thought he was doing his party a nice favour, but he kept everyone in the dark because he doesn’t trust anyone and consequently has few political friends…so no one is quite sure who the suprise party/election is for…other than for #Sunak…and hang on, who plans their own suprise birthday party?
“Labour has said there will be no rises in income tax or National Insurance if it wins the general election - but some spending cuts have not been ruled out”
…The UK has be ransacked, looted & vandalised by the tories for the last 14 years
Sunak takes a "day off", and this is what he comes up with.
Tory twattery. Might appeal to the 80-year-olds, but it's not going to win them any votes in the 18-25 age group. Or anyone who isn't likely to die in the next decade...
“Under Ofcom rules, Conservative MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Esther McVey, as well as former Tory deputy chairman-turned Reform MP Lee Anderson, are unable to continue in their presenting roles while they seek re-election”
Desperate #Sunak tries to revitalise flailing campaign by opting for a swipe at his favourite punchbag - teenagers.
Not content with suggesting they study maths until 18, be banned from having a smart phone, banned from yesterday’s vice of smoking…he now wants them to plug the gaps carved out by #Tories in NHS and military for free…so he can get the vote of their grandparents
"You’ve eaten eggs that were harder than this pair’s careers. Rather than wear out their Italian shoe leather trudging between doorsteps, they have been primped and counselled and focus-grouped into place. And, as every bad-tempered interview suggests, it has left them without killer political instincts."

Neither of them believe in anything (with the exception of power for its own sake) but are strangely influential in their own parties. It is difficult to see them having come into politics with any interest in serving either their constituents or the country. Other politicians such as #Sturgeon can be, rightly, be criticised but they have their countries interests at heart.
#Sunak gave himself a glowing self appraisal of his time in government during #Covid yesterday, proclaiming his furlough scheme as an act of morality (that incidentally was far from unique to the UK)…but what about his ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme.?
Not discussed with the chief scientific officers or the cabinet secretary.
My favourite take on #Sunak and #Elections is by Ian Dunt (inews):
Sunak outlined his election stategy — to vote for him and him alone, as the only leader with a plan. Standing outside in the rain without an umbrella and getting soaked — a perfect example of a man who hasn’t planned at all.
