Again, I'm only asking because this really ain't my thang but aren't JR's used to challenge precedent?
Yep, just like I’d like to go back to May 2015 and see what was in the Ed Miliband chaos box, I’m not falling for that again. Bust for me too please
You have to laugh out loud at some of them. It's so pointless showing them often. About the only interesting thing is seeing the people who are Tories as I often wonder what those people look like. Elderly and gammon like is the answer. There was one last night where they stopped a crazy elderly man on a bicycle to get his opinion, which they thought they ought to share with the rest of us. He said that he thought Truss was doing a brilliant job and she should just ignore the detractors and carry on. He was sure she'd survive. The reporter told him she'd resigned....."Ooooooooh..." he said. "Well ah didn't know that..."
Is that real? JRM has successfully shifted from Viz Comic stereotype posho to evil villain with nothing but contempt for truth, democracy and people's lives. The longer he is at the forefront of politics, the better imo.
Whilst it’s outdated given events yesterday, there was a great line by Starmer in PMQs this week: "A book is being written about the Prime Minister’s time in office. Apparently it’s going to be out by Christmas", Starmer said. “Is that the release date or the title?”
They're definitely going to pick Boris, aren't they. We'll have an even-ish split between Boris and the person who decides to oppose him, and the members will pick him. We're regressing into a developing country.
Johnson, the Sequel, promises absolute car crash entertainment. Tory Roger Gale MP, the first to say that he would immediately resign the whip if ‘disgraced’ Johnson returned. He wouldn’t be the only one. Add in that Johnson no longer has money to spaff around and will need to cut services or raise taxes even further and that he remains under investigation, it all looks quite barmy. Sunak also promises a continuation of Tory civil war. If he wins, cue hearing the term ‘globalist’ grumpily delivered by all of those nutcase IEA, 55 Tufton Street talking heads and Faragists. Every day.
Tend to agree. Boris will scrape over the 100 mark and then romp home with the members (if he stands). But there’s enough MP’s coming out supporting him that I think they’ve heard something. Suspect Ben Wallace backing him will bring good numbers. All eyes will be on Tory MP’s to see if they quit in disgust (especially Red Wall ones) and reduce/decimate his Parliamentary majority. Somehow I suspect many don’t have the back bone to back up their words with actions.
Yes. They can easily lose 20 MPs and Johnson will shrug that off as a win. However even 20 Tory MPs of such high principles doesn’t seem especially likely.
Since Johnson resigned, he's spent months sitting on his hands 'quiet quitting'. Then he went on holiday to the Caribbean. No thought of doing his work for his constituents. None whatsoever. But there are plenty of people among the Great British public who think he's just what the country needs. That, really, tells us everything.
People disillusioned with the ability of politics to change lives latch onto signals, gestures, flags and emblems, empty figureheads, enemies. The Right are devoted now, not to governance, but fighting other citizens. We can’t have a better health service but we can stop the Woke. Johnson is our man. We know he’s a liar, but ‘they’ are Woke and we hate them, even though we’ve forgotten why.
The fissure between Tories who believe in old-fashioned Tory things like business and government and the disrupter, conspiraloon, nationalist freaks is about to split wide open.
No chance, the majority of us are either boot licking cucks or think this is funny and should be joked about.
One reply to this tweet asked if JHB talking sense was one of the signs of a forthcoming apocalypse. Nevertheless, she’s not wrong.
The international trade secretary, Scabi Rottenkoch, has told allies that she is “very unlikely” to run for leadership.
Devil Woman? Shang a Lang? Chanson d'Amour? OK, one by Elton... Stones were 1969 so there must be at least one other.
