All the while this caravan has been rolling along, the voters attention has been happily (for Sunak) directed towards all the gossip and in-fighting and away from the enormous problems confronting Sunak.

His 5 pledges

Grow the economy
Reduce debt
Stop the boats
Reduce hospital waiting lists
Cut inflation.

Well, not a single one has yet got off ground zero, and it looks at the moment that none of these targets will begin to be met by the end of the year.

Just like that strange South Korean game, the big dolls eyes are beginning to turn towards Sunak, and he is in the firing line.

And so the Bank of England will push up interest rates again to add to it because they've no idea that inflation has more than one cause and you can't control supply side inflation by making everyone poorer.

Oh dear... ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I'm puzzled as to why some posters say they couldn't possibly vote for Labour ?Why not They couldn't do any worse than the shambles we have in at the moment and will more than likely turn out much , much better.
