Damn... we're going to have to mention Brexit again if we want to discuss this speech... it's all he's got, isn't it. I don't think I can be bothered, personally.
The only thing I’m taking from this speech/conference is that it’s a missed opportunity, Inglorious Bastards - specifically the cinema scene, lock the doors and set fire to the bastards.
All he's got is attacking the opposition. No substance whatsoever.
I'm glad someone is watching this for us so I don't have to.
Here it comes...
The opposition is the "status quo", don't you know. Just ignore the government and who runs it... blame "all this shit" on the opposition. Cheeky $$$$, isn't he.

See also; SKS.
And there we have it...
The worst kept secret in conference history
Now let the lying really get going...
Network North, my arse!
I'll file it with those 40 new hospitals 🙄
"Ambitious scheme for northern transport"... [ that's how you announce YET ANOTHER cut to rail plans in the North ]
Roads, roads, roads.
Hundreds of Northern transport projects. When these can't be realised under the next government will the Tories be able to blame Labour for not realising them?
Building the northern section of HS2 first doesn't make sense. You don't extend infrastructure like that by building the quieter bit first. You build the busier bit first.
Binners is letting his chippy Northern prejudice show by blaming southeastern pensioners for the Tories. London has had a Labour majority for 30 years. Sunak is a reet proud Yorkshire MP. 30p Lee is Notts through and through. And so on...
What’s “bullshit”
That he donated $1m to keep his green card "warm". Once you've got PR, you have got it. Once he gave it up - someone like wasn't going to have visa problems in the future anyway. And a university donation doesn't affect that anyway.
Will any of these projects have started before the next election?
I didn't think he'd actually do it, that is an unbelievable own goal.
So his commitment to change is cancel everything and make the next government do it all.
Bravo you entitled rich c***
Will any of these projects have started before the next election?
Define "start"? Money thrown out to some favoured consultants yes. Anything useful rather unlikely.
This is pathetic.
It's the tory party conference and he's blathering on about Corbyn, Starmer and Labour.
Why? Because he has little to say about tory achievements and policies.
Here comes the knife to kill HS2 north of Birmingham - it's done; ****.
Network North?
How little of this will ever happen?
Empty promises designed only to persuade voters to support him and his party.
Euston development zone?
That will happen while Network North withers and dies.
He's setting things up so that when labour gets in they can berate them for not delivering these things that he has promised but can't deliver.
Complete and utter ****.
From the Grauniad
Sunak is now talking about the NHS. He says the fact that hospital doctors timed a strike for this week shows their motivation was political.
- it's because it is a political issue - politicians set wages and t's&c's
Not as much enthusiasm for his 'nanny state' measure.
Smart policy on smoking.
- costs the state nothing (saves money arguably)
- doesn't effect anyone who votes Conservative (no votes lost for his party)
I think Penny is self-sabotaging. She don't want the job right now..

Long Covid? Get back to work…
Now the trans bashing…
“You know who’s had it good for far too long… Trans people!”
Do 16 year old kids still smoke in the same numbers or do they mostly vape? Is he just announcing a measure that matches reality. Or did I miss him say that the age of buying vapes would also increase each year as well?
£300m of Ground Investigation contracts to quickly cancel a week after award.
They're going to stop Universities enrolling students on courses that 'don't add value'
Who's going to be the judge of that then?
Rishi, I presume?
And we're back to everyone doing maths until 18 again, are we? What a surprise!
****!
There's going to be a LOT of contractors wanting a LOT of compensation.
Be cheaper just to build it cos now the country is literally paying them not to build it.
God the man is an utter arse.

I made that point a few pages back but was told it doesn't work like that.
God the man is an utter arse.
God the man entire Conservative Party is an utter arse.
I've never known a conference like it. It's like a bunch of rats fighting in a bag to see who can be the biggest & nastiest right wing
How dare he say all this about love and family and opportunity. How ****ing dare he?
Time for a change? Correct.
And no, you are not it.
"Time for a change"
Who is this new guy? Why don't we make him PM? Got to be better than the current one. Anyone would be.
Its time for a change... and we are it?
WTF?!! Thats the most nonsensical thing I've ever heard!!
Advanced British Standard?
Didn't he know the acronym ABS is fairly well established already
Look, I've just released £37 billion pounds for me and my mates to try to pilfer before we get kicked out
The BBC are ripping it all apart.
Not really following this too much, but surely labour will just reinstate HS2 as soon as they are voted in? Obviously that’ll cause huge delays and additional costs, but ultimately it’s still going to be built?
if I was a northerner I wouldn’t be too worried just yet, the tories are finished for a good few years to come (hopefully decades)
