Professor Tim Wilson – Rishi Sunak: Liar Number 3

Dec 26, 2023 | Mostly, a jumble of self-indulgent and utterly worthless word games that deceive nobody but himself.

Professor Tim Wilson: Nobody Will Take Britain Seriously Again

Dec 5, 2023 | That is the risk Rishi Sunak is taking to win a general election. He is gambling with the reputation of our nation. He is behaving like a fool and he is doing so in a calculated and deceptive way. Cleverly rightly says "we can now move quickly"- like any criminal might add escaping the scene of the crime.

Professor Tim Wilson: So Ashamed of Our Present Government

Nov 27, 2023 | Insulting other parties and other countries with an arrogance that is ill-fitting to the economic and political chaos we inhabit

The Conservative Party Is Dead

Nov 18, 2023 | I thought I saw a sign of life as Suella Braverman was sacked but Sunak has confirmed that the moral leadership is missing- this is a party on the last stages of decay, what Bercow called "a rotting corpse". What is left, its zombie pretence of authority and life is controlled by the shady forces of the ERG [European Research Group] and its part-time members (each eager to stake out an afterlife in media or business) can no longer command respect. It is sad to see such a death.

History Will Ask How Long It Took for Brexit to Break Britain

Dec 4, 2022 | We can save our country and even the union but not with this sledgehammer introspective politics we have currently embraced. And if The EU was designed to stop war in Europe we can see clearly how the fracturing of the EU has led most clearly to war in Europe in the Ukraine. We need more unity and less division.

Well said! Brexit was an act of self-harm. Suicide if you will. Nothing good will ever come out of Brexit. I, too, believe that the UK will eventually break up. Westminster's days are numbered. Scotland wants its independence. If that happens, Wales could well follow suit. Ireland should be united in any case. We can blame Cameron, Farage, Hannan et al for this mess.

We need to get back into the EU (if we can) as soon as possible. Walking away from the biggest single market in the world —The Single Market—was stupid. We Brits also lost all our privileges by exiting the club. That was bad enough; but what always seems to be forgotten is the peace that the European Union helped bring to Europe, a continent which had been riven by war for centuries. The Conservative Party has a great deal to answer for. And I write this as a one-time dyed-in-the-wool Conservative voter. After the fiasco of Brexit, never shall I vote for that party again.

Keir Starmer is as good as useless, too. He is delusional. He wants to make Brexit work. Brexit will never work. At least not to our advantage. It will impoverish the nation. It is already doing so at breakneck speed.

Professor Tim Wilson: Rachael Johnson Is a Disgrace Promoting the Idea That Some Should Pay for the NHS

Nov 28, 2022 | This does not mean we should not encourage those who can pay to ease the burden on the NHS and use private healthcare where they can.

Very well said! Aneurin Bevan must be turning in his grave because of that stupid woman, Rachael Johnson. Until the Tories got their mitts on the NHS, it worked well and efficiently. The Tories—and I say this as a one-time dyed-in-the-wool Tory voter—have got a hell of a lot to answer for. Thank you for bringing some common sense into this debate. – © Mark Alexander

Professor Tim Wilson: Kwasi Is Hurrying Back and Liz Is Trying to Save Her Sinking Ship

Oh dear oh dear

Brilliant, Prof! This cloud does have a silver lining though: This catastrophe has exposed the erroneous notion that only the Conservatives know how to handle the economy, only the Conservatives can be trusted with the running of the economy for the BIG lie that it is. – © Mark Alexander

Professor Tim Wilson: Rees-Mogg Would Be Better in Silence

Indeed I suspect that silent films were invented for Mogg! He is already sepia-toned and would be so much better with title cards and health warning.

Professor Tim Wilson: Kwarteng and Truss Have Cheated the Nation

If thee are plans we can see them now- we don’t need to wait till the end of the month! Personally I do not think these plans exist.

Professor Tim Wilson: Nicola Sturgeon and Liz Truss

Doesn’t matter how much she says it, there is no evidence that Liz truss is listening to anyone.
