Chris Mason's predictions for 2023: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63990858My predictions - after bad council elections in May the Tory MPs vote to ditch Sunak. Johnson attempts to make a comeback despite having been censured by the Commons for Partygate, but doesn't reach the final two who are Hunt and Badenoch. Hunt wins but gets no new leader bounce as the Winter of Discontent turns into a Summer of Discontent. Hunt emulates Heath by going for an election in the autumn on the basis of "who rules Britain" and is told "not you, mate". Labour win a working but not a landslide majority and announce new public service pay review bodies that are genuinely independent. The unions pause their industrial action. The pay review bodies recommend big pay rises to bring public servants into line with private industry and the Labour Government accepts this, but the new Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, warns that taxes will have to rise to pay for it. |

Well it's now the 31st so answers are as above. I don't think it's even theoretically possible for most of those to change during the course of a Saturday, and as it would take at least two changes to alter the result I'm comfortable to declare that winner is.... John Chanin His tally of 14.5 points was clear of manlad and @sotonsaint on 13. John was aided by being the only person close enough to get a full point on both exchange rate questions, as well as calling two of the trickier questions (NI FM and by-election seat changes) correctly. Thanks for taking part all; suggestions for inclusions and refinements for a 2023 version are most welcome! A bit embarrassing since I only rarely log in to this site, and haven’t commented for months. However I will have another go for 2023 if you set up a similar competition. |
