[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Herr Tubthumper]

If he loses then this will be the 4th Tory PM in 6 years. What a mess. And this is the party which brough in the 5 year fixed term to, in part, bring stability. Next they will be telling us they are the party for business.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Why keep him there then? If your constituents want him gone, you're the one who's going to lose your seat as a result.

If you're going to lose anyway, might as well give him full public support, get a ministerial job and use that to get nice directorships after the voters turf you out.

Couple of decent PPE contracts as well.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

This is at least entertaining lol

Hunt is awful as well.


Nadine Dorries
@NadineDorries
1/4 On afternoon of 23rd July 2020 when I was health minister you telephoned me to tell me that we had to handle the pandemic following the example set by the East/China. That people testing + should be removed from their homes and placed into isolation hotels for two weeks.

2/4You said yr wife’s family had experience of this during SARS. I said that British people would never tolerate being removed from their homes and loved ones at which point you demanded I show you the evidence for that. Your handling of the pandemic would have been a disaster.

3/4 Your pandemic preparation during six years as health secretary was found wanting and inadequate.Your duplicity right now in destabilising the party and country to serve your own personal ambition, more so.

4/4You told others that PM and Gov would swiftly collapse on back of Brexit and you would swoop in. You told me as much in Victoria St after GE. If you had been leader you’d have handed the keys of No10 to Corbyn. You’ve been wrong about almost everything, you are wrong again now

Chris Mason was saying on the World at One on Radio 4 that a number of MPs who were going to back Johnson have changed their mind because of Dorries' tweet. Well that worked well, didn't it?

 

[Stato]

How the hell Nadine Dorries is in the cabinet and not on Loose Women or some such I'll never know.

Perhaps Loose Women’s standards are higher. The main reason to want him gone is to stop ASAP the damage being done to the country by people like her, Patel, Rees-Mogg, Shapps. The kind of people who no other leader of the Tory party would have in positions of authority

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Someone pointed out the vote is at 6pm, on the 6th of June. The beast!

 

[MJsGhost]

Nadine Dorries has arrived at No10 with a fishing rod & a bag of chicken saying she is a friend of Boris Johnson


stolen from Twitter.

I reckon Gazza would be a more capable minister than Nadine ****|ng Dorries. He'd certainly speak more sense!

 

[Surf's Up]

And what price on Dominic Cummings to deliver the Coup de Gráce I wonder

He also apparently said, Boris Johnson won the biggest majority since 1979, well apart from 1983, 1987, 1997 and 2001. Even then in 1979 Thatcher's majority was only 43 so you'd need to go back to Harold Wilson in 1966.

No, no, I agree. The UK has given huge amounts of kit to Ukraine. However I'm not giving any special credit to Johnson for this. All he did was sign the cheque. My point in that regard was that the chap on the radio was saying Johnson is a winner in part because they love him in Ukraine, as if this is reason for us in the UK to back him. The whole narrative is to ignore all the bad things he does and give him credit for anything positive associated with the UK, whether Johnson was instrumental or not.

If we were looking for a real example of leadership, as opposed to simply signing another cheque (which he has been more than happy to do - using taxpayers' money - much to the chagrin of many on the tory right), Johnson would have petitioned to define the contingency for when the troops should be sent into Russia. Instead he delayed long enough over sanctions to allow all of those with money tied up in Russia and, (allegedly) all the Russians with money tied up with tories, to get their affairs in order.

No, the man is a chancer, a ruthless gaslighter. People love it, of course. Winner. We have the worst Covid death rate in Europe and yet to many he is a Covid vaccine hero.

Cast your mind to the last part of Lord of the Flies. When the adults turned up they thought they had found resourceful children surviving and at play. In fact they had formed a mob and were about to kill the peculiar boy. At some point, we will get our country back with an honourable leader, an 'adult', and some of us will look back at when the Johnson gang ran the show and think - wow. How the **** did that happen? Others may look at their hands and wonder how close they came to having the nation's blood on them. Others will of course bimble on regardless. I quite like that analogy and will revisit it the day after Johnson goes.

borderline genius, scroteface

recisely ! Dorries knows she is promoted way above her abilities and is toast under a new PM. Thats why she's fighting like a rat in a barrel.

Wasn't it Raab just before the weekend who was on the air waves telling us all that he didn't think there was any where near 54 letters? Whoops.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

She knows that no sensible PM (or even Jeremy Hunt) would put her anywhere near a Cabinet or Ministerial role, making her £80k/year worse off. She's fighting for her purse.

Exactly, and the realisation that her daughters may have to actually get proper jobs rather than the £28k per annum they receive from us, to run her office.

Raab also wants the top job, been less sneaky about it.

 

[JBizzle]

What a w****r Raab is.

Unfortunately we now have a government that's so used to not being held to account that doing so is routinely dismissed as partisan or "playing politics". They've a bunch of cowards hiding behind politically charged buzzwords to avoid answering questions that put them under any pressure to justify what they say and do.

Quite what Derbyshire said that's anything other than factual is beyond me.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Well, off the back of Brexit Cameron's government collapsed, May's government collapsed and now Johnson's is floundering around with the NI protocol, so it wasn't a bad shout by Hunt.

How the hell Nadine Dorries is in the cabinet and not on Loose Women or some such I'll never know.
