Sultana Corbyn party...

[Ian H]

I could agree with Corbyn's policies, but he shouldn't be in charge of delivering them.

Hmm, I'm wondering if this thread's title will outlive the shelf-life of a lettuce (is this now an international unit called a 'truss'?). Could be a close-run thing.

I suppose we could have a range of terms for relatively short time spans, including a 'Siddiq', a 'Rayner' and at some point soon, a 'Starmer'?

Hmm, in that case, let's call the lettuce-based unit a 'trusse', both to distinguish it and to wind up the Europhobes.

The Kwasi is a good one.
Having lasted a full 38 days.

Don't be such a pessimist.

No my friend, that's optimism. Do you seriously want a Reform government? A party willing to admit Nadine Dorries?

Difficult to measure a Siddiq as she never held a cabinet position. A Rayner would presumably be 14 months and a Starmer 5 years.

These don't seem to be relatively short time spans when compared to previous right wing governments. We have a Sunak (24 months), a Truss (45 days), a Johnson (36 months), and a May (36 months).

We can also add in Chancellors of the exchequer with a "Hunt" being 24 months, a Kwarteng being 38 days, and Zahawi being 59 days

I'd suggest you want to look to the Conservative Party for short measures.

We'll likely get a Reform government whether we want one or not. Although do you seriously think there is a good chance of a Liberal government? You may call it optimistic but it isn't realistic.

You're over thinking this.

TBF he was never in charge of delivering them, even when he was nominally in charge.

I know you disapprove of people taking the p1ss out of leftie politicians, but sadly you won't stop it like this 🙂

You need something more substantive than shouting leftiebollocks repeatedly if you actually want to criticise. Otherwise it just reads like typist's tourettes.

I'm all for taking the p1ss out of leftie politicians. That isn't what you are doing though. Let me give you an example:

"One in, one out" says Cooper
With record numbers still arriving in small boats, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced it's now One In / One Out for failed government policies to deal with the crisis. "We've already tried to smash the gangs and that's resulted in record numbers of migrants arriving on our shores. With that having failed, in come curbs on successful asylum applicants, with the tightening of rules for migrants granted asylum bringing their families to the UK" she said. Critics say that despite the One In / One Out policy plan, the number of failed government policies to deal with the small boats crisis are still expected to hit record levels this year.
