‘D-day was the final straw’: Sunak’s blunders ignite Tory party fury

The spads and clown advisers who are making these decisions will never work on so much as a Tory councillor’s campaign again in their lifetime,” said one irate Conservative source.

The scene- A depressing looking street.
Action- The road explodes and a piggy bank appears.
Moral- Labour bad.


Sunak’s team are the Ed Wood of political campaigning. Pink Floyd would have fired them 50 years ago for producing that for promoting Animals.

Two things people are moaning about:

Underfunded NHS
State pension age rise

Sunak's answer? Knock another 2p off National Insurance

The Conservatives are launching their election manifesto later, with a promise to cut a further 2p from National Insurance if re-elected.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak claimed the Tories were the party of "sound money", and that another Tory government would help working people "keep more of the money you earn".

He said Labour would instead do "what socialists always do - take more of your money".

Labour have described the Tories’ ideas as "the most expensive panic attack in history"...

That'll really help with the underfunding. :roll:

Tories were banging on about mysterious money wasting quangos nearly 50 years ago. And yet it was a new right hobby horse in the 80s to proliferate them under the guise of contracting out dead hand big government responsibilities to nimble private agencies. A Blairite thing as well.

John Crace sat through Rishi’s launch speech
First manifesto launch I have been to where the leader has given a demotivational speech.


Sunak did a fair bit of disassembling as well. Liam Byrne’s note put in an appearance, everything was shit under Labour, don’t let them ruin it. Woeful.

I remember a lot of Tory matrons, the likes of Lady Howe and Lady Hurd and so on, had posts on their boards, like modern day Lady Birlings.

Didn't realise they were a political issue that far back.

As with everything else, we're made to wonder why they didn't make these savings before. It's not like they didn't go big on quango consolidation before.

Per the Institute of Government, 80% of spending through quangos is done by just three of them- NHS England, Education and Skills Agency and HMRC. These aren't obvious targets for cuts.
