How to be the most useless PM in history held in contempt.
At least the Tories are being consistent. For fourteen years, they have been utterly disinterested in what the people want and need. The fact that this uncertainty is damaging the country is of no concern whatsoever to them.
Agreed, they've always had their own agenda which takes priority over being a government.
Party before everything. That has always been the case.
They have wrecked your democracy
Sold us out on brexit also.
The Tories will not go until chucked out; they enjoy power too much.
Digging the Tories' grave even deeper.
They enjoy enriching themselves at our expense and to the detriment of our country.
It's a shame we the people can't decide when an election takes place.
They serve us, not the other way around.
Exactly we pay for them, we should decide we should be able to decide these left wing clowns are not fit for the job
it's a joke it really is most countries have a fixed date and it's usually 4 years , 5 years always shows the government is scared to face the people
The sooner the better,in order to stop the terminal decline under these clowns!!
Labour wont be better though . Probably worse .
He’s just milking it for as long as he can !!!
I honestly don't think Sunak will call an election. Circumstances will force the date.
If he doesn't do it by December, then parliament will automatically dissolve. one has to happen by 28 January.
But a lot can happen by then
@@marigoldwhite867 Whatever does happen it better be a miracle. because he and his party are Toast, and he knows it.
It's not an "early election". An election now would be at the normal time.
The Tories (and their pro-Tory client media chums) are trying to move the goalposts in the minds of the public so that we don't consider a GE being held after May 2024 as being anything other than perfectly normal. When, in fact, holding out to the last possible second, before calling one, is political cowardice of the highest order. Shame on them.
"Early election" The election should have been called 2 years ago when Truss failed the country.
Sunak will hang-on to the very last. He knows they won't be reelected for many years. Sunak is hanging-on to make deals and line his pockets and use his position as P.M to get whatever he can.
Tories are finished & they know it,But can't accept it.
The longer they put it off the worse it will get for them.
An election today would not be early enough.
Of course he will not call an early election. It's in the English. An early election would have been last spring, at a time when the Tories still had a chance in the GE.
He won't call an early GE because, even if he called the GE tomorrow, it wouldn't be an "Early" one. That's because, no matter when he calls it, it will be way too late for the Tories. The party has effectively one sweet FA since BloJo's tenure. which is, I suppose an improvement of doing everything out of venality, hubris and greed, but it is hardly any better. And the longer they continue to sit down on the job, the longer the public realise that they are the least effective, most corrupt and laziest bunch of Sh*t-eating wasters that the country has ever seen. The longer this goes on, the longer the country see this.
That suits me fine. The longer he leaves it, the more devastating the results are going to be.I honestly hope that we never see the likes of them again.
He won't go early as he hasn't milked the country dry for his families benefit or that of his inlaws benefit.
He's going to hang on in there until he is forced to call a general election, or he's dragged out kicking and screaming from No 10
Why not local and general election same time and save taxpayers' money and time too.
Good idea
GENERAL ELECTION NOW thats the peoples top priority ...............
Why would Turkeys vote for Christmas ?
The same turkeys voted for Brexit 🗳 💩
@@simonwood1402Best decision made! Only fools like you think it was bad!! The powers that be, made issues, created issues, to give the illusion that brexit was a bad decision. What do you think happened to England before going into the EU? wake up dopey!!
hahahahahaha
😂😂😂😂
Gt it over with before your polling drops to near zero
There is no comeback Rwanda will only fuel the crazies to vote Reform
It is too late for an "early" election. It's already late.
If he had a single ounce of integrity he’d step down but his ego would rather ruin the country and it prospects further, he won’t be living here anyway so why would he care.
Even though traditionally a low turn out, I think if the Tories get hammered in the local elections, I wouldn't be surprised if Sunak resigns due to pressure or he triggers an election. It's clear from the low by-election turn outs the Tory voters are firmly staying at home.
The only way I can see the Tories having any chance in a general election is to offer a series of vital referendums within 12months of being re-elected. Net zero, immigration, Proportional representational voting, Bill of Rights. Even then I would give them a slim chance. Actually surprised Labour or even reformuk haven't actually offered this up to the public yet.
He's to ignorant to resign
We're past when there should have been an election so no matter when they call an election now, it's a "late election".
The longer the delay the worse it will be for them !
He’s not robbed enough of our money yet
Indian trade deal.
An early election is less than four years into a Parliament. The four-year point of this Parliament was reached in December of last year.
If it's not called on Monday it'll be called the following Monday
Hanging in there hoping for some sort of miracle to happen
Does not matter which party…. It will ultimately be the same outcome.
He knows he won’t win ….then the ministers must get rid of him NOW
In my opinion I have doubts over the integrity of the voting system in this country. It is most probably as dodgy as a lot of politicians are again in my own opinion.
Most clearly Torie Party Hacks. Could you please tone it down? It is embarrassing.
It wouldn’t even be early now, it would be a normal time now
Election on now
Because he is delaying the Inevitable and grasping power ( which he no longer has ) . The man is delusional.
Get him out ..
Rationally, the PM will wait until between Nov 24 and Jan 25. However, events may force his hand to call a GE sooner. I don't know whether it's possible and it'll be cutting it extremely fine. If the Tories do very badly with the local elections, could the PM be spooked into asking for an audience with the King on Fri 3rd May at about 7am or 8am to call for a dissolution of parliament, before enough letters of no confidence in the PM get to the 1922 committee?
January is very unlikely as it would mean campaigning over Christmas. Trying to motivate demoralised party workers into campaigning over Christmas (especially in what looks like a hopeless cause) would likely lead to even worse results. November is certainly possible, though.
😅I hadn't thought of that when I believed he would wait until Jan, the last possible minute, but no it wouldn't work would it because of Christmas
@@lizbull4263 I think whatever the Tories do, it's all about damage limitation. There's going to be a massive anti-tory vote, most people voting for Labour.
There won't be a no confidence vote. Changing leader again at this point will do way more harm than good. No one will want the job of steering a sinking ship. The only one who will take it is someone who had 0 chance of becoming PM under normal circumstances... so another Sunak pretty much.
@@johnpotts8308 Christmas is a single day. There will be an entire month of campaigning after Christmas day. A day off isn't going to do anything.
the sooner hes voted out the £billions saved, everyday he is costing the country 1 billion, drag him out now
What about what the people want?
The bit on Scotland's First Minister turned out to be wrong then.
It’s said that people get the political leaders they deserve what the F-ck did we do to get this lot.
Brexit!
We voted for them we have asked for every thing we get British people are obtuse
Sunak doesn’t make decisions they are forced on him.
He won’t call one he knows he out in next election we want tories out for good.
We are stuck with them till November. Poss even January.
I don't think he will last till Nov. He is needs to be a man and call an election.
@@MissMarceline-wp6oq Tories have yellow spines.
He’s trying to take us down with him don’t let him !!!!
He needs to finish us off completely..ergo November .
Selected Prime minister behaving like so and so. About time he calls the General Election, and let the public decide, who they want their Prime Minister to be.
Please just call a election then you Rishi can go live your life in cali and let us recover from you 😊
a remember when Mengele thought he could escape to Argentina well think again do you think for 1 minute he wont be hunted down for the damage to the country
No really 🤡 and there’s me thinking being 22 POINTS behind in the polls he ll call one this week
The system needs changing we should have had an election when Boris the lair was kicked out not just shuffling deckchairs on the titanic .
Before worrying about Ukraine worry about it own house first as it were
Well said my sentiments exactly giving money to one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. Did you know if zelensky stood on the shoulders of rishi Sunak they would be smaller than napoleon.
A Prime Minister ought to handle situations, not sit on the fence. This is beyond weakness, he is treating the country like he would his next door neigbour going for a round of golf.
Am I the only one that gets a sound volume drop when Times Radio video play?
If I knew I wasn’t wanted ,I would have an early election,for my own worth
Correction his puppeteers will not allow an early election.😊
Wrong, he already has !!
Sunak is delaying the inevitable end of the Conservative
stop leaving the country in limbo and get on with it
Will there even be another election?
Monday it is
Get him out!! & khan. 🍋
No one to vote for
Because he knows he will lose
Might have to.
There will likely be an election, just after my postal vote drops through the letterbox, Labour may want an early election before any real momentum of the Reforms Party's success increases.
Sunak won't call an election until planes have left for Rwanda (probably filled with mannequins).
The defence spending policy went down well… yes maybe but then it’s easy to announce something that won’t happen until 2040. And the Tories’ standing won’t improve between now and January, it’s too late for that. I disagree with the idea that “they’ve had a good week.” They are burying their heads in the sand and next week will be disastrous for them.
Regrettably, voting is no longer a question of voting for what you like. Now it's all about voting against that which you hate! Realistically, your only hope is to vote for the workers party, independent candidates or reform, there's no other choice!
Of course not, why relinquish any shred of power they Cling onto
The man is desperate for power. He's not going to allow something like the will of the people to get in his way. I mean honestly, why is the will of one party pushed over the will of the people?
Uplift to 2.5% ? we need 3.5% to undo the damage they have done and that rules out tax give aways.
I recon the tories also want an election to put themselves out of this misery
Even though Sunak has the ability to call an election when he wants, he's still to go for it.
Irrelevant... The Tories are done....permanently please God!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Sunak and Yousless know the ship is seeking but would rather go to the Purser Office than the lifeboat.
Pockets to fill
He will......
December
Stop voting Tories and Labour Party enough is enough
Early elections may give safe passage
He'll call an election when Joey tells him to & not a day sooner 🐩. 0:08
whoever is working Inside / Outside IR35, please don't this idiot, who's stealing our money..
Sunak won't call election at all
Don't vote end of
God is watching 👀 rishi sunak, do the right thing. Conservative has cost millions of people too much pain, including you rishi sunak.
Bye Bye
What is it with these unelected people? we have hamza and sunak both clinging on to jobs that neither got voted for.
Umm no Prime Minister is elected by the people, you vote for local MPs representing parties and the parties select their leader. Why do people keep saying this? Maybe know what you're talking about before speaking? There's no such thing as an elected PM.
If you ent vote then dnt complain at the outcome get out and vote
Why bother their all thieves
Call an election what are you worried about labour getting in government xxxlol ❤❤❤ best wishes
SUNAK, IS NOT BRITISH. HE HOLDS A US GREEN CARD.
HE CANNOT BE, OUR PM.
He is a Monster abusing and bullying poverty line poor and sick in pain weak vulnerable people who don't know how to cheat and lie to become rich
No election before first flight takes of and Nigel becomes new PM
Nigel isnt currently an MP so thats not going to happen any day soon.
I hope he doesn’t call an election yet
It looks like he's single handedly solved the migrant crisis as they are all abandoning ship to Ireland now and he's backing Ukraine so honestly I don't see what your problem is with Rishi Sunak?
coconut
It is only right that Sunak stays as the rightful and most able PM of UK 🇬🇧. There is nobody more capable, more honourable and most importantly, more decent.
