    I’m relieved to see that the corrupt and useless Braverman went to Cambridge and therefore won’t ever be PM.

    Note the latest Tory buzz phrase is ‘Compassionate Conservatism’. I’ve heard this repeatedly over the last week.

    Very Goebbels. Going to tell a lie, make it a whopper.

    Yep, not the first time it's been used in UK politics for sure.

    Ah yes, nothing shouts "innocent!" quite as loudly as saying "you can't prove anything!".

    Very funny Sunak!

    Appointing Mark Spencer as minister for food!

    We will shyte them on the beaches.

    What that sewage discharge looked like in Cornwall over the weekend. The Mail’s gaff on it was very funny, but actually the whole thing is pretty tragic.

    Sewage flowing onto the beaches and into the rivers is a big win for Breggzit, as the former honourable member Sir Michael Take rightly said (yes, I am aware it's a spoof account, unlike the Mail's reporter Elizabeth Haigh). Instead of the meddlesome EU drafting laws (with the agreement of all member nations) which protect the interests of the citizens, the UK is now free to set its own laws. In this case, that means ignoring the best interests of the citizens and their environment.

    Next: abolish any maternity rights, the right to paid holidays and sick pay. All on the Breggziter agenda. All will be pushed by Mogg and co and the ERG.

    None of this bothers Breggzit voters until it affects them directly, and that day is coming.

    The final nail in the coffin of Trussonomics. Not just cuts to public services, but tax rises. Yes, all of that bluster from Truss and Kwarteng and it ends in higher taxes than when they took office.

    And I bet Hnut and Sunak announce this while still claiming the Conservative Party is the natural party of lower taxation.

    From Sky News this morning.

    Ha, well if the plan is predicated on a rising tax take as wages grow the economy is completely stuffed. Wage growth is at generationally low levels and has been stuck there for 14 years now.

    Hancock's heading to the jungle/castle in Wales this year.

    Good for him, seems like a bloody decent bloke.




    Is what Matt Hancock believes everyone thinks about him.

    Lol. Seeking redemption big time.

    Has had the whip removed.

    Could politics get any dafter?

    At least we know who will get voted for every trial.

    It’s the complete lack of self awareness, which to be fair is nothing new to Matt Hancock.

    He will no longer be ‘that **** from the pandemic’ but ‘that **** from the pandemic who ate a koala anus’

    Hatt Mancock must have concluded his time is truly up. The ERG don’t like him, Sunak doesn’t like him, the One Nation Tories don’t like him and it goes without saying that no non-Tories like him.

    Showing he can be a bit of a sport is all that is left.

    I think he could see in the latest leadership election that he was toxic and no amount of grovelling will get him back into the cabinet.

    He needs to resign as an MP though. Before his constituents throw him out.

    A new book on the "Turnip Taliban" Liz Dross out soon.

    Apparently she had an affair with a then MP ,Mark Field?

    The local constituency party claimed they didn't know this as none of them new what Google was.

    Truss was keen to update broadband in Norfolk!

    Could the Tories not find anything less extreme than Hancock sucking on a kangaroo lollicock to take the attention away from Cruella?

    Or the Covid inquiry that's just starting?

    Although no one seems able or willing to point out the hypocrisy that Boris didn’t lose the whip, despite disappearing for weeks when parliament was in session.

    Exactly what I thought when I heard the Sunak quote about how MPs should be working hard in Parliament or in their constituencies.

    Should 100% be asked of him at PMQs tomorrow along with pressing about Braverman.

    How would that work, though? Wouldn’t he be authorising the withdrawal of the whip from himself?

    The usual PMQ public schoolboy braying, along with the usual Conservative Central Office attempted get-out of 2019 GE quotes about Corbyn. Really pathetic.

    So Boris really did reach the threshold.

    Says absolutely everything you need to know about the state of it.

    I wonder how enthusiastic Tory members are going to be, campaigning in the run up to the next GE. They voted for LT over RS, and they will probably feel that they should have had a chance to vote for BJ against RS.......

    Imagine being pissed off because Liz Truss was replaced. That you could handle all of the spite and incompetence of the Tories until that.

    I see the Times is reporting Dorries has been nominated her peerage, along with Sharma and a couple of other Tory MPs. Assuming the approval panel agrees to the nominations from Boris it'll be interesting to see if they resign and force by-elections or try and hold off moving to the upper house until after the next GE. Rumour is they're going to try the latter but that Charlie might not be happy to oblige.

    Apparently Boris has also nominated a 29 year old staffer from his policy unit for a life peerage (she's blonde, in case you were wondering), as well as David Ross and Paul Dacre.

    It's difficult to work out what someone could possibly have accomplished in a mere 7 years since graduation that would merit a life peerage.

    Outside of services to Little Boris, of course.
