Yeah but your dislike for the Tories is creating a none factual view of the world.  There isn't much between Tory and Labour in this area.  SNP are a mess as well.  Your just saying stuff without backing it up.

 

I’m quite happy with my the Tory’s are c**ts reason tbh … I’m happy it doesn’t need further explanation either

Good old Tory deflection. When the Tories are in trouble deflect, deflect, deflect.

Call the tory c**ts...

If you want to say the Tories are more corrupt and be taken seriously then you need a little evidence I would suggest

I’m out ..  I’m sure I don’t need evidence to show Tory corruption … 😂😂😂😂

Guardian has Mordaunt with best chance of being next PM...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/05/who-are-the-favourites-to-succeed-boris-johnson

Mordaunt's position during PMQs is telling. As far away from the front benches as possible is symbolic and that area of the benches has long been associated with MPs distancing themselves from the Government. Conversely she has not resigned as a minister of state and still a part of this cabal so she is clearly keeping her head down ready to emerge when she judges the time is right. 

Had considered her some time ago and still think that the base love her but are some of the anti woke lot are put off by her views on trans issues.

What telling is that those resignations have come from all areas of the party. The only strong support base seems to be the cabinet most in the knowledge that they will be out under a different PM

I don't think Barry is saying the Tories aren't up to their gills in sleaze - he's just saying that it's rife in parliament, so it's a bit of a glass houses situation.  To call all tories and their voters c**ts is just lazy.  

There are plenty on all sides of the house there for wrong reasons, but also there'll be lot on all sides trying to do good - though their methods will differ.

Granted Barry may not always adopt the right debating style, but him, Stevie, lost, etc are generally fair in their view.  Ironically, you're one of the most dogmatic supporter of Labour / Starmer and will deflect til the cows come home if there's criticism aimed at poor Kier.

But let's not argue today, we're all here to share in the downfall of Boris....it's like the football match in the war, let's just enjoy it, then pick up our rifles again when he's gone! 🙂

"Does the PM think there are any circumstances in which he should resign?"

Brilliant.

This was my favourite moment. Although Starmer landed some zingers. Can't take my eyes off the news now, although I'm technically working...

Gove leading a delegation to go and gently speak to Johnson. Quietly wielding the stiletto.

Where did I mention their voters ? I just can’t be bothered with a back and forth with Barry at this point … simple really … I’m enjoying the Tory party and Boris self destructing …

Early reports of Gove adding his name to the list. 

[hodgey123]

Genuinely must now be approaching position where there are not enough MPs to even begin to fill all of the ministerial/PPS positions that have been resigned?

We must be now at the point  where he has lost more than 50% of the party ? 

Also he won't be able to fill those vacancies unless Dorries and co do 10 jobs each, it's all over.

Definitely. I was actually quite surprised Zahawi did it considering he seemed at least competent as vaccines minister.
