I see Therese Coffey is getting the respect she deserves... :lolol:
If she gets a headache you can bet she'll have some spare antibiotics in her handbag to cure it.

I know Wallace is popular and was an ardent Remainer but I'm afraid not for me in the current climate
  • Generally voting against measures to prevent climate change - seven votes for, 12 votes against and 14 absence between 2008 and 2020
  • Generally voting against equal gay rights - two votes for, nine votes against and three absence between 2000 and 2019
  • Almost always voting for a reduction in spending on welfare benefits - 45 votes for, zero votes against and eight absences between 2010 and 2016
  • Consistently voting for university tuition fees - five votes for and zero votes against between 2010 and 2017
  • Almost always voting for stronger enforcement of immigration rules - eight votes for, zero votes against and one absence between 2015 and 2016
I'll stick with Mad Nad. We're already up shit creek without a paddle and that isn't going to change, but at least Mad Nad would be funny :lolol:
Being interviewed by Nicky Campbell at nine in the morning, still pissed from the night before, would make great radio. But there is a fair chance that we'd wake up the next day and find she'd flogged Network Rail to the Glazers, and the NHS to Prince Maktoum Al Killja of Quatr (with a special dispensation for the Vatican to oversee Obs and Gyny). So I'm out.

But, unlike the rest of the remains of Johnson's cabal who would likely do the exact same but via a few mates and backhanders, at least she could honestly claim she was totally pissed at the time, and that's what everyone wants in politics, honesty :wink:

Mad Nad - You know it makes sense (y)

(Well there's f*** all else we can do for the next two years other than find our laughs where we can)

It will be Rishi won't it. He came second and the person who came first has given up !
Either him or Mourdant. Don’t see it being anyone else TBH.

I've just watched someone on TV news saying 'we need someone experienced like Rishi'.

7 years as an MP, 2 years in cabinet, I can see my Mad Nad for PM campaign gaining momentum (y)

I gained a bit of respect for Sunak during the previous leadership campaign in that he didn’t take the route of campaigning purely on populist fiscal policies - ie low tax - and accurately predicted what would happen with Truss’s disaster.

I could just about tolerate him for another 2 years and he probably wouldn’t completely f*** up the country. Thankfully he appears to be odds-on favourite.

He's the very definition of a 'left wing' cabinet member since the Johnson cabal took over :shrug:

BBB, (Bring Back Boris).

Would see the end of the Tories as a political force for the next ten years.
I can see I have serious competition for my 'Mad Nad for PM' campaign. That BBB slogan is an absolute cracker and will undoubtedly get a good response from the Conservative membership (and British electorate, if he gets that far), may the best person win :wink:

Whoever can lose a GE fastest hopefully! The time for Labour is now, the Tories are electorally spent, the UK needs a change of direction.
