Johnson has come out against Sunak's NI deal, there may be trouble ahead...
Jean-Claude Juncker has also chipped in and said "I think that the European Commission will have more authority than it seems. And as the European court of justice has been reconfirmed in its role as an arbiter when it comes to internal market questions concerning Northern Ireland.
So I think that, although the deal is giving a response to the major British concerns, there is a part of European Union in the deal some in Britain are trying to hide."
Let's see how little Rishi deals with the latest, inevitable ructions within the Conservative party before trumpeting his wonderfulness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course there is - the whole point of successful negotiation is both sides ceding some ground to meet in a middle! Did anyone expect different?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the context of Sunak's premiership, imo, neither example will be regarded as helpful for the current PM by his own handlers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. Mischief makers and he should be calling their bluff. They got the big ticket they wanted in Brexit and should now be ST FU. Any BoJo return will merely guarantee Starmer in #10 next time as moderates abstain or vote against 'their' party in protest at the return of the clown.
FWIW, I don't think the deal has one iota of difference to Irish reintegration which feels inevitable?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunak (understandably) raised taxes as chancellor and that in the eyes of many conservatives was unforgivable, that's why he lost out to Truss. A lot is riding on the budget in the next few weeks, Hunt has already flagged up the fact he isn't thinking of cutting tax, that will just reaffirm their dislike for Sunak.
Johnson is hovering and if Starmer, as expected, wins the next election he'll make his move and will replace Sunak.
Sunak doesn't have the clout within his own party to take on the factions.
I agree that Irish reunification is inevitable some time in my lifetime, ironic that it's the Conservative and unionist party that created the circumstances for it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is saying he seems to be doing a reasonable job, the same as trumpeting his wonderfulness?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Putting feathers onto caps before the deal is passed through parliament seems a bit presumptive.
Who gets the credit if he has to rely on Labour votes to get it passed, him or Starmer?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He would. And rightly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe for the national interest, not to his political benefit.

What is the OP on about? He has been a shambles, so bad that half the conservatives are plotting behind the scenes to get BoJo back in power
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tbf that just tells you everything that is wrong with the Conservatives, rather than any comment on Sunak’s ability as PM.
My interpretation of Hunt / Sunak raising taxes was the hope that things improve, recession isn't as deep, Starmer makes a rip roaring cant of something and they ride into the election with a sleight of hand pseudo-giveaway budget to convince the purple rinse brigade all is well.
January 2025 is the latest they can call an election, who knows it that will be a long enough period for them to get us to a place where they can organise a giveaway budget and even if they did, would it be enough to distract from the last 18 months never mind the last decade and a bit?
Tbh I think the COVID enquiry is gonna be the final nail in their coffin, once it gets to the PPE billions and writing off the billions in fraud, which Sunak was directly responsible for....eek!
The tories will cease to exist as a significant entity after the next election. They’ll be obliterated by Labour and then in the subsequent years I suspect Reform will emerge and the foil to Labour.

They won’t be obliterated but they’ll lose.
Even losing by a few seats will constitute a Labour landslide.
Sunak enjoyed one good day of decent headlines, and since then we’re back to their disastrous handling of Covid, getting caught slagging off teachers and today Sue Gray and partygate.
There’s 13 years of scandals, lies and poor decisions to pick from

Yeah, I was referring to them ceasing to exist and Reform emerging as the second party in Britain. Not gonna happen, even when Labour win a landslide.
