Michael Lambert: Everyone Knows Rishi Sunak Is Finished

Jun 12, 2024 | At Silverstone motor racing track yesterday, the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, launched the Conservative Party manifesto. It featured tax cuts and spending which is to be funded by government efficiency, cracking down on tax evasion and a squeeze on benefit claimants together with growing the economy. Immigration is to be substantially reduced depriving the UK economy of essential workers.

The Spanish government has built a high speed railway from Barcelona to Madrid at a cost of less than one tenth of the cost per mile of HS2.

The CEO of South West Water has received a rise of £300,000 per annum taking her annual income to £860,000. The company lost £9 million last year and yet went ahead with dividends of £127 million.

A driver bringing plants into the UK from Italy was kept waiting for 55 hours at the government border check facility at Sevington in Kent.

John Pienaar’s Brutal Analysis of the Tory Manifesto

Jun 11, 2024 | “That manifesto looked very like the last throw of the dice which is looking at poll after poll pointing to disaster.” Rishi Sunak is being “weighed down" by the “baggage of incompetence and dishonesty” under Truss and Johnson, says John Pienaar.


The last thing this country needs is more incompetent governance by the Tories! Kick Sunak out of office! He has had his chance, and he has blown it. Fourteen plus years of Tory mismanagement is quite enough. The country is crying out for a fresh start and a new approach to governance. The Tories are stale. – © Mark Alexander
