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

Incidentally, has anyone noticed that minister for turnips is T. Coffey?

I thought that was rather comical.

Imagine having R. Sole as a prime minister.

Oh....hang on....

And the home-made ketchup I put on my chips was disgusting.

I think we just need to believe harder and it’ll be a taste sensation

Big Tesco in Hove haven't got any turnips

Coffey has obviously spiked a rush on them!

Funny how that poor weather in Spain hasn't affected mainland Europe's supply of fruit and veg isn't it?

Glad you are still happy with your voting decision though. You must be starting to feel a little lonely though

I hope we can have an argument over what colour our ration books will be like there was with the passports

As long as they are blue (and made in the EU, like the passports) everyone will be happy with their spam.

Sadly it appears that it will be a little while yet before the Conservatives get their party back from the extremists

Tory activists draw up deselection target list of MPs responsible for Boris' downfall​

Conservative activists who back Boris Johnson drew up a target list of MPs who resigned from his government triggering his downfall including Rishi Sunak's Chief Whip Simon Hart. The list contains Tory MPs from the left and right of the party who resigned en masse forcing Mr Johnson to announce his resignation. The revelation comes after Damian Green, Theresa May's former Deputy Prime Minister, was blocked by activists for being a candidate for the newly created Weald of Kent seat.

Ironically a lot of them probably claim they’re pro-family too

Lol. Good comment.

 

[Bodian]

Just bought some tomatoes and cucumber from my local greengrocer - who had plenty. Even had turnips, both the white ones along with the swede type. Loads of peppers too.

Popped into Tesco to get the evening's beer - and noticed that they had none of the above.

Greengrocer tells me that the problem isn't actually the shortfall in produce, but that the supermarkets are unwilling to pay the increased prices being charged by the suppliers to meet their own increased costs.

 

[sparkie]

They've managed to create a run on tomatoes. Lol.

Buy 'em all up folks !

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Lol. Good comment.

The people of Fareham have had enough of her.

She is Rees-Moggs niece, so it may be an excuse to get rid of her.

Lol. Good comment.

I know someone who had dealings with Suella when she was plain Sue-Ellen and first became a junior minister. Their verdict ? 'Face like a smacked arse and demeanour to match'

Seems several Tory MPs are members. Which should be shocking yet somehow isn’t.

 

[clapham_gull]

I've read that the deselections have as much to do with infighting between Conservative Central Office and local associations over the selection of candidates than the individual MPs politics.

Fancy being named after a Dallas chuff-monkey? Then changing your name to ersatz suet? What an absolute mess.
