Don’t forget the email your Tory mp
my mp only got round to producing some shite in response to me today after several weeks. Still might give it a go but since a pile of shite would get voted in here if it is wearing a tory badge it really doesnt bode well.
@dissonance, North Shropshire must be lurking at the back of every “safe” Tory scumbag’s brain.
He’s got that ‘why is everyone picking on me’ look on his face again
He’s obviously the victim here in his own head
The lack of awareness is off the scale
Scottish independence campaign just got another shot in the arm today
thanks @kimbers - I haver it on pause so hopefully will work later.
Boris Johnson, the one time he actually promised to lie (in front of a bulldozer at Heathrow airport IIRC) he didn't - he lied about that too!
Kinda says it all 😀
**** off Suzanne Webb! Sucking up to Bozo, us residents of Stourbridge want him, and you, gone!
Tory MP for Stourbridge just got humiliated by the Speaker for an obsequious question!
For the next Tory leadership vote, they should add some COMBAT to the mix.
Winner takes all .🙃😜
He doesn’t even look like he sees much point carrying on with this ridiculous and embarrassing charade

Thunderdome - It's what the people want to see. Subscriptions would pay for some of the mess the party has made.
Given the number of his own MPs having a go at him, one would think Graham Brady's postbox is getting quite full.
I see he’s doing the old “Well Labour!”

Maybe the soundtrack for the tories next election campaign could be the lighthouse families 'lifted' with a few words replaced:
'cause we could be Grifted, Grifted, Grifted
We could be Grifted
From the shadows, Grifted
Oh we could be, Grifted up today
Grifted all the way, you and I forever
Baby, Grifted, Grifted, Grifted, hey
I’m properly riled by ‘my’ MP, so much so I’ve just sent this email to her
Good Afternoon,
This is the first time I’ve ever felt need to contact my local MP, having just this moment watched you try and suck up to our useless, self-serving, lying Prime Minister, I can safely say that you are wrong. Us residents of Stourbridge want Johnson to resign, he, and the rest of your party are failing us locally and nationally. The Tory party have made the United Kingdom an international laughing stock. Brexit is a failure, Johnson is a failure, the Tories are a failure.
Yours
Just seen on Sky News - so much for "bringing the West together to combat Putin"
While the prime minister is on his feet, it's reported that his promised phone call with President Putin about Ukraine this evening has been cancelled.
Perhaps Mr Putin is watching the PM's discomfort, wriggling and bluster on TV in the Kremlin, and is not impressed by what he's seen and heard.
Minutes later, challenged by a Labour MP about why world leaders should trust him, Mr Johnson boasts of "standing up to Vladimir Putin". Oh dear. Nobody's told him.
Shame I've missed this.

Truss isn't going alone to Moscow now... just announced that Johnson is going as well... run rabbit run... he gets to hide and get to say he's getting on with important stuff and make his biggest rival look like she can't be trussted.
Refrigerated private jet?
I've just been listening to the statement and debate and frankly what a responsibility dodging ****. The Tories need to grow a pair and get their letters in - it's damaging to politics and to effectively running the country generally for him to continue
The award for Top Tory Toady is hotly contested today, with their planted questions

You are not kidding.
But, they must realise that Johnson will combust sometime soon and being as far away from that might not be a bad idea.
Or maybe toadying scores Tory points under any circumstances?
I was going to say prior to this that Blackford would be expelled for calling Johnson a liar. Obvious move from him.

It's quite interesting (in a perverse way) if you think about it - He must be damaging the party in the polls A LOT.
So they should want him out ASAP to help thier chances in the next GE, fresh leader, water under the bridge and all that.
BUT they gotta balance that with; who in the party wants to inherit the shitshow before it's calmed down a bit?
Timing is obviously key, any new tory leader needs time in office to distance themselves from the current regime.
That's what the tories are currently attempting to calculate. They are not concerned with Ukarine, NHS crisis, energy crisis, climate crisis, brexit crisis or anything else.
The focus will be 100% on staying in power.
Accusing the Labour front bench of taking drugs is a bold move.
Guardian article today about how other countries in Europe are dealing with the energy crisis - compares starkly with what our government is currently up to and what they consider important.
300 photographs! How arrogant were they to be doing that? I assume some for revenge / blackmail / ass covering but in reality I am sure most were phone snaps of folk having fun like folk do.
"Wait for the conclusion of the police enquiry" ... is the new "wait for Sue Gray" batting away of all questions.
The tory back benches will be meeting and discussing things - and as above weighing up tactics. do they want Johnson out for moral reasons? Or is it to get their own contender in? Whats best for them?
I don't expect a flurry of activity from them for a day or two and indeed I expect a lot of it to be done by stealth. I will be very suprised if there are not enough letters to Brady by the end of the week.
They need a "bullshit" button installed in the house like on the last leg.
That'll liven things up a bit

i think you will need to be prepared to be very suprised. The Tory whips will keep them all in line.
nothing will happen as Johnson will just wait it out.

i think you overestimate the average tory voter. I'd put money on a tory majority if there were a snap election this week. a reduced one, but still a majority.

A QI style Klaxon alarm. I'd vote for that.
Van Halen - it only needs a dozen or so more. There is already 40 or so there by all accounts. tory whips are having trouble getting folk into the chamber to ask sycophantic qurestions

Sorry, I didn't mean a snap election, you would be correct. I was more refering to a tory internal leadership contest.

to be fair, that's only about one photo per party....
A year to investigate some parties!! FFS!!!
Police investigation 'won't take longer than a year'
More lines now from the Met Police commander leading its investigation into parties, which Boris Johnson has repeatedly urged MPs to wait for over the past hour.
Catherine Roper has told the media:
Her team will start contacting people soon to ask them questions and expect "that people will tell the truth"
The investigation will not last "more than a year" and she wants to fast-track it
The police wanted Sue Gray's report to hold back certain information because it would otherwise make it harder to interview people and have them provide "their account from their own memory"
Police officers on duty at Downing Street could be questioned if appropriate
After seeing the report earlier I thought it was bad but easily manageable and Johnson would keep his MPs happy enough for now
But he was just awful in the commons, Starmer nailed him, Blackford stunt was we timed, some of his own MPs, including May nailed him. His response to it all was dire.
I appreciate that I am very biased against him, but after that I can't see how he won't avoid 54 letters
This was funny tho

When the Tory Toadies blather on about Boris's successes during Covid, why don't the journalists respond with:
"Do you mean the highest death rate and the slowest post covid economic growth rate in Europe?
Just sayin'...
A year to investigate some parties!! FFS!!!
There are a lot of parties that need investigating.
Looking at the longer game. Perhaps having BJ keep on as PM serves to keep these parties in the forefront of peoples mind come next election....also plenty of time for him to be caught lying again between then and now...
here's hoping anyway..
I'm so angry at what has happened today that if Johnson isn't out of No10 by the weekend I'll have trouble controlling myself from not going down there myself and dragging the little shit out of there by his ballsack.
There is no way that we, as a country, can criticise any other country for the way they go about their business as we are now World Leaders at destroying the idea of democracy. I genuinely no longer recognise the country I live in.
