I haven't but a clue here are a few suggestions.
1. Totally discredit Angela Raynor, priority 1.
2. Train a harpoon squad to stop the boats, they've tried everything else.
3. Get new jobs.
4. Proscribe the Labour party.
5. Scrap traffic lights and road markings.
Any more suggestions?

Promise whatever you want, anything, just name it.
Oh and clear up all the disasters the last lot have made. Conveniently ignoring the last lot were also Tories.
But different Tories.
Bad Tories
Not at all like us good Tories.

I predict that the Tories will appeal to the more mean-spirited instincts of their base, by promises of welfare cuts to fund tax cuts, a war on supposed sick note culture, promises for tougher sentences on this or that, attacks on so called "woke" issues, promises to stop the boats and reduce immigration, tougher sanctions on the unemployed, more pressure on the mentally and physically ill to get a job, transferring the power to sign people off sick away from medical professionals to private companies like ATOS. And all accompanied by the rhetoric of getting tough on supposed freeloaders.
It won't save them of course but it might sound good to some of their elderly supporters who are never going to be on the receiving end of this shit.
And there will be zero recognition that the main cause of so many working people on benefits are too many part time jobs and not enough full time ones, low pay, high rents, and exceptionally high living costs re gas, energy and water. Do something effective about all these things and the benefits bill for working people will fall dramatically and tax paid will increase.
But there will be nothing about that in the manifesto, just more promises to give more target groups a good old kicking. It's the sort of thing elderly Daily Mail readers like to hear.

Work remembering SRB that it was Labour that brought in those Work Capability Assessment that Asos run. And it's been the Tories that have sacked them.

Isn't the sh1t we're referring to the rules bought in by Ian Duncan Scrooge. Well he has a huge part of the blame for how it turned out. His continual denial, despite all the evidence, that the DWP had set internal targets for claimants denied benefit (sanctioned) and that the official appeal system was not fit for purpose were criminally negligent. That said it appeared that his specific (junior) ministers Miller, McVey, Grayling were only playing lip service to him and actually doing the Treasury's 'just stop spending, don't care how you do it' instructions as that would be what advanced their careers more. |

That's actually a pretty good tory manifesto pledge..
"We will just stop spending, and we won't care how we do it."

It massively reinforced my decision not to vote Labour in 2010. Because by then it had triangulated itself so far to the right that it was effectively trying to out-nasty the nasty party. Very similar people are running Labour again now. They will gladly try and out-nasty the Tories again if they think they would gain more votes that they'd lose by doing so. They are not going to get my vote this time any more than the Tories are. |
