So Kwasi Kwarteng has been fired as chncellor after a month in office and now Tory admit some UK taxes will rise after all :lol:

 

@GrassmarketI suppose the next elections will be moved forward since I can't believe this mess will be tolerated for two more years?

They have to hold on otherwise they’d all be fired.

Ain't they all dead people walking at this stage anyway? Starmer appears to be a less polarising figure than Corbyn so all Labour needs is to lay low and watch Tory implode in the next two years? :p

And that is why Tories will try and delay the elections. The way they are imploding, it is not just a question of losing government, they could be looking at a historic wipeout in next elections.

Problem is that apart from Starmer, all the rest of Labour are Marxist loons, so I wouldn’t write off the Tories completely.

Wow, if Labour manages to lose the next election, they need to seriously introspect.

One of the polling organizations is predicting that Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister, has a 94% chance of losing his seat in parliament at the next general election.

1) That is exactly what I am expecting: Conservative leaders losing even their seats. Labour party getting huge majority.

 

2) I would be surprised if Boris Johnson contests the next election.

    • Would you believe......Southern Hemisphere outdoor season starts tomorrow!  Live meet from  here     https://m.youtube.com/@coparaguay/streams  
    • 200m / 400m runner Jodie Williams.   Had a great record at the Age Group level but never quite got the big solo wins as an adult.  Relay bronze in Paris was her finest moment.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/articles/ckgl7gwvj8go
    • This is the World Senior Championship final, not a high school match   and this kid is under 20 (won the world U20 this year) and destroyed everybody (including  Olympic Champ Uguev and World Champ Arujau) in his senior debut.   injuries and lack of motivation play a big role, but if this kid stays healthy and motivated, I don't think anybody beats him in next 10 years. he is lightening fast, his gut-wrench is deadly and he can throw at will. that's the complete package.   not sure what Olympic weight he picks. Japan has the current Olympic Champion in both 57kg and 65kg.   I think it's fair to say Japan is currently the best men's freestyle team in the world. (despite being weak in heavier weights)    
    • Sport is not only about the Olympics (which is somehow ruined by the IOC, mixing it with the politics and for this specific sport limiting the number of athletes to just 16 per weight)   it was a great competition (despite having a terrible host) . yep the freestyle competition ended up very badly for our team but it was great pleasure watching Masanosuke Ono and likes of Abdulrashid Sadulaev, Jordan Burroughs, David Taylor and Zavur Uguev.   watching Masanosuke Ono itself makes my day.
    • Only WCh 2016 was worse than this one. I saw some great bouts but overall, this Ch was unnecessary.
    • There might be modern tracks for lots of sports in Ashgabat actually. They organised some Asian martial arts competition some time ago and for that they built all sort of megalomaniac infrastructures (you see the picture of the gigantic horse head? That’s part of the main stadium), all in white (there’s some rule from the president that everything needs to be white in that city), and all pretty much abandoned since that time.   According to the delusional/brainwashed local people we met, “all those investments are understandable because Ashgabat will organize the Olympic very soon”.    That’s because the dictator is obsessed with huge buildings, if you see my third last photo, that is actually an indoor ferry wheel (yes, it’s a thing apparently), the largest one in the world (Guiness world record), and it looked really abandoned. Me and my wife were the only ones going on it.   Everything in that country (but especially in Ashgabat) is bizarre.
    • Baku is a large resort. There is a modern track in cycling in Ashgabat. The World Championships were supposed to be held some years ago.
    • There are some government allowed routes that go to the West, but the usual one is just around the two main cities (Ashgabat and Mary) and then crossing the desert to that gas fire crater.   thats what I did, entered from the east from Bukhara (Uzbekistan) and left again to Uzbekistan but in the Khiva border.   Not sure how’s the caspian sea there, but the only time I saw it , in Azerbaijan, didn’t look very clean to swim.
    • ...and this is how I learned Costco sells poutine in Canada    Is it a food court item there, or something you buy and prepare at home?
    • I don't see any photos from the Caspian Sea? I wonder if there are swimming conditions there?
