Does Sunak and his PR team, in scrapping all these things they know will anger protest groups, have a plan in place to connect Labour to the groups once they all start their more disruptive protests again?

Insulate Britain will now start up again.

It seems to me that Sunak and co want protests up and running as they see that as something they can use in the election campaign.

Don't get me wrong, it is a policy that when New Zealand bought it in I immediately said we needed (and I was a smoker for 21 years).......................

It is just the double standards of a man that says he does not want to tell people what to do re climate change and then wants to tell people what to do re smoking and has told people what to do re protestiing....................... but then he is a politician and they have different standards to a mere moral like me.

Maybe he’s creating another rule that he can cancel in a few months time?

He has a PR team? He is about to announce the cancellation of HS2 to Manchester just as he is having a conference there. You can't make this sh*t up.

As a smoker I would be in favour of this. It's a disgusting habit and one I wish I didn't have

25+ weeks in hospital can cure a lifetime of smoking, i can also say the patches work, if the patch fell off i'd notice cravings

my little cat will be hugely upset, cos she always enjoys seeing Larry on tv.

doubt Larry will be replaced, he's not popular with the political staff, probably too competent. 🙂

My dog hates Larry. Used to complain about the feline twat while I was moaning about Boris.

my cat loves an animal on tv (watches the nature programmes), then looks behind the screen to see if the animals are there.

Bet Larry could tell a tail  or two about the party’s he’s been to

Maybe a lot of that "don't know" is to do with general disillusionment. So yeah, there is the angle of "playing to win," but it will inevitably turn some others away. I didn't think that was a significant number, but maybe its bigger than we think.

They wouldn't have done the net zero target scrapping thing if their focus groups and polling hadn't indicated it was a vote winner.

Or Rishi Sunak is just very bad at politics and putting measures in place that benefit his family business.

[steviewevie]

Tories have got 12 months left to f**k everything as much as poss.

I said ages ago that the Tories will spend a year putting the nastiest of nasty Tory policies in place so:

1) It forces Labour to keep them and thus become more 'right'
or
2) It forces Labour to scrap them and be accused of hating the rich and being bad with the economy as it costs the tax payers money

Win win for the Tories..................

or a triple win as they put all the vile policies in place and win the election.................. then they know they can pretty much do anything they want.
