Tougher sentences for geography teachers!
Delivering lessons about economic activity in the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors, and the use of natural resources, as tongue twisters?
So the clamour is for him to go, but the party really need him to hang on till after the May elections?
the party are in a bind, not getting shot implicates them all in the "one rule for them" fiasco getting shot now lumbers the new boy/girl with 3ish years on brexit baggage.
They could change leader twice before we get to an election. This is the Conservative Party, not the Labour Party.
I had an apology from a company a few years back just like B's today.
Basically, "we are sorry you are not happy with our conduct".
A non apology.
Anyway. I want him to stay in for some time yet, then Truss to follow him.
Interesting that it took sunak until this evening to comment; his tweet was anything but a supportive endorsement.
Has truss commented yet?
Jeremy Hunt?
The moggster? He's on newsnight in a few moments.
Oh dear boris, what a mess.
I got a present.
that poll is going to raise a few eyebrows the blood pressure at CCHQ
Rees Mogg absolutely dismissing Douglass Ross as a 'lightweight' on Newsnight just now was hilarious

Mogg bombed spectacularly on Newsnight. Came across as not that bright at all.
Spoiler alert: He isn't.
Nadhim Zahawi just lost the ability to talk on Peston. He was being asked to defend BJ, I'm guessing that might have been a little difficult to enunciate.
More shockingly, there was no union flag behind him on the video call.
That's deplorable.

File under “No shit, Sherlock!”
Kimbers - we had a good chuckle at that one as well. The only sentence of value to escape his lips tonight.
Do the public think there was a party?

Do the public think that the police should investigate?

This “I’ve asked one of my staff to write a report” wheeze isn’t fooling the public.
Predictably, the moggster turned in a crap performance on newsnight; pathetic attempt to demean Douglas Ross by referring to him as a 'lightweight' -that should help to further destroy tory support in Scotland.
Will use catch-up later to see zahawi on Peston; he, zahawi,is usually full of bluster um ah so I expect more of the same on steroids.
Love that labour press office tweet ^^^
Johnson sinking but not drowned - yet; royal nonce now well out of his depth.
Just need one more for this week's
hat-trick.
As much as I'd like to see de Pfeffel unceremoniously defenestrated, in the absence of a GE, 150,000 of the very worst sort of people will pick their next leader from the list below:
Sunak = horrible. Truss = thick. Patel = horrible and thick.
I'm routing for Truss.👍
I look forward to the election of our dim-witted, flag-waving, third rare Thatcher tribute act
The Tory’s Jeremy Corbyn*
* obviously Jeremy Corbyn was the Tory’s Jeremy Corbyn as he was working for them to ensure two election victories, but Liz Truss could be Labours sleeper cell
I don't think I have ever seen a government tear itself to pieces quite so dramatically. Even the Blair / Brown briefing wars were nothing like this bad and although the major government tore itself apart I don't remember anything like this level of infighting
Its glorious to watch
Once a government starts to collapse then there is no way back - keeping on fighting to survive which I am sure Johnson will do just increases the damage
The equivalent of Corbyn would be if the stalking horse won, surely?

And yet in the latest opinion poll, as posted above by Kimbers, Labour are currently on 2 points lower than Labour managed in one of the elections that you mention.
In the 2017 GE with Corbyn as leader Labour received 40% of the vote, yesterday's YouGov poll put them on 38%.
The huge 10% lead Labour now has is entirely due to the Tories spectacular own goals and nothing at all to do with any significant increase in Labour support.
It is a measure of the total ineptitude of the current Leader that Labour has to entirely rely on the Tories shooting themselves in the foot to make any sort of headway.
Btw binners your unending obsession with Corbyn seems to be getting more bizarre that you feel the need to include a post about him on this thread at this time...... never want to miss an opportunity to have a dig at him eh?
Still, thank you for giving me opportunity to highlight how the current Labour is so utterly useless that Labour has to rely on the Tories own goals 🙂
for me one of the sad things is that labour seem to have just given up on Scotland completely now. the labour / tory non agression pact badly backfired on them but London labour seem to have just given up
the SNP would of course support a labour government in Westminster ( but never coalition - confidence and supply only) and will never support a tory government so that does not change the odds on a labour government but it seems daft to just give up on Scotland completely where not that long ago they would have 40+ seats
I say this because they will not allow Scottish labour to produce a scots manifesto that suits scotland and the front bench keep on making stupid comments about scotland that show their ignorance of the political situation north of the border - Like that one I quoted from Raynor
Why did you have to go and do that Binners?!? [ a Corbyn thread … another one ?!? 🥱 ]
Its glorious to watch
There's certainly an element of schadenfreude in it all, what gets me though is that the country is in the middle of a pandemic, inflation is at a dramatic high, Brexit is ruining everything... and our so-called leaders are busy infighting, lying, manipulating and garnering support for their own leadership bids.
You were elected to lead the country and deliver on your manifesto. Not behave like a sack of rats. It's a shame there's no way for the public to sack an MP.
While they are infighting at lest they cannot devote as much time to making stupid laws or pissing off our neighbours? so while the damage from what they have done is not being ameliorated ( not that they would) at least they are doing less future damage because all their energies are taken up with infighting
this lot are so incompetent that doing nothing is better than anything they would do
inflation is at a dramatic high,
You'd best sit down, shitty as it is, this is nothing yet.
the SNP would of course support a labour government in Westminster
Only on one condition, and Labour would never agree to it.
Tell you all what, there’s some epic bum-licking going on: Dorries
This cabinet of no talent know that if Johnson goes they won't be getting near to power for a while (excepting maybe Truss & Sunak)
Nope nickc - wrong. they have made that absolutely clear. that would be the price for a formal deal yes but they will NOT vote down a labour government but would vote down a tory one
Go and check Sturgeons speeches
You’d best sit down, shitty as it is, this is nothing yet.
Yup. 20+% in the mid-seventies according to this graph: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/inflation-rate-cpi
Buckle up.
Nope nickc – wrong. they have made that absolutely clear.
Well, if Sturgeon's made it "absolutely clear", that a new definition of the word that I've never previously encountered.
Douglas Ross had a 15 minute call with Johnson yesterday where he is reported to have said to Ross that he thinks that he has done nothing wrong.
Laura K and the Times correspondent both reporting that he said the same to Tory MP’s in the commons tea rooms immediately after the non-apology apology, with the added nugget that, to paraphrase, he was taking one for the team. He seems to believe he is the victim.
Johnson polling as badly as corbyn did at last GE
https://twitter.com/KellyIpsosMORI/status/1481243903164624896?t=Utr4jyY6byiXTP_YyWtN2Q&s=19
And the poll I posted earlier was from before Johnsons 'I didn't realise I was at a parrty' PMQs
Well, if Sturgeon’s made it “absolutely clear”, that a new definition of the word that I’ve never previously encountered.
Well she has and its SNP policy - so once again your knowledge is lacking. Stop believing the right wing unionist press
Bojo cancelled today's visits because apparently a family member has tested positive 😉
I wonder if a side effect of all this will be the Libs edging slightly to the right. They've traditionally done well picking up voters who, can't vote for their usual party, but can't quite bring themselves to vote for "that other lot".
Arguably they already have in recent years P-Jay. And dabbled in a bit of “freedom” fighting as regards pandemic measures.
I just ran those poll numbers through a swingometer and even with a 10% Labour lead it still puts them 15 short of a majority. How ****ed up is that?
So, do we think Van-Tam is bowing out for a quieter life now he has his knighthood, or is he about to stick the boot in as well?
I suspect he is tired of working with the clowns but has better things to do than join the bun fight.
