    The Hospitality sector is rightfully getting a lot of headlines, but its not only pubs, restaurants, nightclubs etc that are suffering. There are many other industries crippled with cancellations without even getting a mention.

    He's only in power due to protest votes.

    Our lead Scientist basically told people not to socialise and seriously consider going out and prioritising what social occasion they want to attend. Or words to that effect. Our PM stood next to him and said he 'wouldn't cancel Christmas Parties'.

    Add to that the work from home directive, re-introduced testing for travel, and the general rise in cases and hospitality is 50% down this week so far vs. 2019. The industry lost £100 billion in sales value from March 2020 to June 2021, where it had four months of restrictions free trading. Some pubs and restaurants have shut the doors yesterday and today as they can't afford to open and pay staff, order food, etc. The knock on effect to the supply chain, such as breweries that have brewed beer based on late November trends, is huge. When you connect the dots of hospitality it has such an impact on far more industries than just it's own.

    See a separate post of mine. Many people are unaware of how the hospitality industry can be at the centre of many different sectors performing well. Taxi drivers, security, food producers, drinks producers, cleaners, etc.

    Then you've got aviation, the travel industry, etc.

    The significance of this is that all the Tory seats with small majorities, there at5es will fall out. They know that if a huge Tory stronghold like North Salops can be over turned... Even in protest... That they are finished.
    Make no mistake Borris is finished.. his own back benches will knife him now.
    But who will replace him..?

    All the competent ones have been moved out of the public eye cos they weren’t swivel eyed Brexiteers. Have you seen this cabinet? The vast majority would be nowhere to be seen in normal times. Could you imagine Cameron nodding along to Patel? I can remember thinking May was to the right of the cabinet when she was HS.

    There’s no room for doubt, we have to cling on to the power of Brexit or we allow the rise of UKIP.

    Sunak’s wife is one of the richest women in the country. So he’s not in politics for his salary. What do you think his motivation might be?

    Who knows ?I’m certainly not going to slander or second guess him based on his wife. Some people want financial independence, others are driven because they look for personal success, it’s certainly not as obvious as you are implying.

    There’s no hope even in this little victory .
    John Redwood (I refuse to call this chancer Sir) has said they list because of Tax hikes and should have lowered taxes to have any chance of turning the voters round .
    Ffs hie much does these ***** want to decimate the already under siege NHS?

    True. As one non voter said in Shropshire.

    "I won't be voting, I never vote. I just do as I'm told and follow the rules."

    And that's how fascism takes hold.

    As someone once said. "Always vote - you never know when it might be the last time you can."

    Are you seriously saying you’ve sat there for the last 2 years and watched this government give away billions of ££s of yours and my taxes and thought ‘fair enough, who am I to judge?’

    DePfeffel has just done an interview with Sam Coates on Sky (you can tell he's in deep trouble, just on the basis he's actually facing a serious journalist).

    It was bizarre. All over the place. Arms flung in the air. His shoulder jumping as he eagerly tried to interject and change the topic. Deflection and delusion as he followed the line of saying how amazing his tenure was, blaming the electorate and the media for bringing up such things while saying he'd heard the voters.

    And finally, when pressed about tory MPs openly talking of leadership change, DePfeffels body language and tone changed to be aggressive, snarly and directly attacking Coates for having the audacity to ask such a thing, before mid sentence backing down and trying to get back on track.

    Any tory MP's watching will have even bigger concerns having seen such a shambles of an interview.

    Johnson is done. The question will be, are the tories done too?

    There's no denying it Johnson is a dead man walking, but whoever these sleazy Torys put in charge of the country, he/she will do F'all for the likes of us plebs, it will just be dejavu.

    Won't go into depths but agree. The wrong rosette colour to worry the Tories. Nobody takes the Libdems seriously or trusts them after what Nick Clegg did.

    In our system, its pretty important that parties outside of the main two pick up seats. LibDems are more likely to take support away from the tories in certain seats. For the Tory majority to be weakened and ideally eliminated, the country needs the LibDems to take seats off the tories as well as Labour to regain some of their former seats.

    The latter (Labour) is the problem. If you don't vote for us you're opinion doesn't matter you're just a fascist protest voter.
