I think he's right. Yup, slow the impact until some massive nerd comes up with a way to arrest the damage or manage climate better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 No prizes for guessing who'll be ultimately footing the bill for this charade. He's effectively being sacked and is being given leaving presents. Utter fucking joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44900 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Can we just remind ourselves that this bloke FINALLY lost his job for protecting and promoting a serial sex offender. Imagine being such an empty vessel that you can't see past Boris Johnson for the most important job in the land. Can they please publish the signatories to this letter, so we can tick them all off and raise a glass as they cark it.

ewerk 30620 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 This is exactly why he was confident that he could ride out any storm that came his way. That there were always enough to be enough gullible idiots who would back him come what may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44900 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Has this been posted yet? How is it possible to simultaneously hold these two thoughts: I know I don't know how to hold my hands normally AND I should be the next Prime Minister.

I might be completely wrong but I reckon Mordaunt is gonna peak out at some point and get overtaken by Truss. Well lookie here! Who's a clever little cunt then?!

That’s the other thing about Rory Stewart and the idea he’s one of ‘the good Tories’. Apart from politicians he’s stood shoulder to shoulder with, just look at the membership of the party 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44900 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Loads of patter from journalists speculating about whether Sunak has loaned votes to Truss today to "block her tomorrow", but I don't really understand their arguments. It's the Badenoch votes that matter now and it's hard to see how many of them end up going to Mordaunt. How does Sunak block anyone? They basically can't understand how Sunak didn't benefit more from Tommy Tuggers going yesterday and so are theorising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 yes, i saw that earlier - brilliantly done. the pathetic legacy of 12 years of tory government, all the more delicious as the honest appraisal is all in their own words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I think Truss wins if it’s her v Sunak. Mourdant probably beats either of them but it’s difficult to see her v Truss. I’d have picked Truss out of the lot because I don’t think she’s got a hope of winning the next GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
