Conservatives unveil new advisor to help with a cunning plan

Realising that they have had a few mis-steps with the election campaign so far, the new advisor is set to steer the Conservatives to election victory. The new advisor is reputed to be as cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford.

The prime minister is right to make the question of protecting Britain in a more dangerous world a central theme for the campaign. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/27/japan/uk-election-rishi-sunak-defense/

The Conservative Party said it would revive a decades-old national service mandate for every 18-year-old Briton by the end of the next Parliament, a striking political gamble. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/26/world/politics/sunak-national-service-election/

As an aside, this has been a cornerstone policy of the #BNP and #NationalFront for decades.

"Conservatives plan to bring back mandatory national service

"...It said 18-year-olds would have a choice of either joining the military full-time, or volunteering one weekend every month..."

"...#RishiSunak said he believed [this] would help foster the "national spirit" that emerged during the pandemic..."

In 2016, Britain voted for Brexit and America for Trump, heralding a populist wave. Both countries face pivotal elections this year — but their paths appear to have diverged. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/25/world/politics/uk-conservatives-us-elections/

I just heard someone call our PM "Rishi Soon-Axed"...

... That's it - he mustn't be called anything else until after 5 July (except a variety of four letter expletives, obviously)...

..Thereafter there will be no need to give him a second thought, so no one should be referring to him!

It was an inauspicious start to the U.K. Conservative Party's election campaign as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that Britain will head to the polls on July 4. Heavy rain fell as he spoke, and D:Ream's "Things Can Only Get Better," best remembered as the Labour Party's theme song for its 1997 election victory, blared from a member of the public's speakers at the gates of Downing Street. Deadline has this writeup on what it calls the "farcical scenes."

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calls for a July 4 general election, as polls show Conservative Party in trouble.

NBC News reports: "Most polls suggest that if the vote were held tomorrow, the opposition Labour Party could enjoy a landslide win that would make Sir Keir Starmer the country's leader."
