In other news, apparently the 50-60 ERG fruibats who support Cruella are now referring to themselves as ‘The Five Families’. A reference to the five families who control the mafia in the states. The assertion - probably correct - being that they run the party
Instead of it being laughably pathetic, they probably think that’s scary or something. I suppose it is if you’re little Rishi, as they’re all going to write to Graham Brady if he sacks Braverman, and it’s a vote of no confidence in the little fella and another leadership election.
They’re actually insane enough to do it too, aren’t they? They don’t give a shit about anything or anyone other than their own little psychodramas that we’ve all had more than enough of
We just need this lot gone, for the good of everyone
I think if Rishi resigned snd forced another leadership election, there should be protests in the streets demanding a general election.
I know thats not how our version of parliament and democracy are meant to work, but 3 unelected PMs in a year is taking the piss.
he's gone full trump
He says he condemns the "violent, wholly unacceptable scenes we have seen today from the EDL and associated groups and Hamas sympathisers attending the National March for Palestine".
What a totally spineless little shithouse.
He should have just written ‘I am now nothing more than a pathetic little sock puppet for Suella and her far right friends’
He is a piece of shit, equating chants and slogans with racists fighting police.
Absolute meltdown on ConHome comments section atm
not only have they lost Braverman- champion of the anti-woke brigade
but Remainer Dave is coming back!!! he who bravely ran away, isnt even an MP and will now be shoehorned into the HOL so he can join the team...... I can see why Sunak has done this & as a foreign secretary he has a higher profile than many others, but still seems nuts, all his Greensil lobbying is going to be raked over again
I wonder how many letters to Graham Brady have gone in already?
can a non elected person be given a ministerial position? surely not, this paves the way for everyone getting their mates into the cabinet surely?
Yes they can be. Plenty of previous of using the HOL to fill cabinet positions. I don't remember anyone tho being appointed to the cabinet who also had to be made a peer at the same time.
can a non elected person be given a ministerial position?
They just have to be a parliamentarian.
Well, the country has pretty much stood still since 2016 so Cameron coming back is kind of poetic I suppose.
Silver lining
Johnson hates Cameron, he will be hating this
Yes they can be. Plenty of previous of using the HOL to fill cabinet positions.
Eg Lord Carrington as Defence Secretary during the Falklands War.
Poor turtle. Who put it up there?
A source within the Labour Party apparently messaged a GB News (I couldn't resist) pundit when asked for comment about Cameron.
He said, "The Tories have given up on Sunderland, this is all about Surrey now."
He has a point.😁
Interesting that more moderate MPs like Tugenhadt are completely ignored to bring back a non MP for one of our biggest Offices of State.
I suspect a moderate with any talent is hiding on the back benches not wanting to be associated with Sunaks government as it will harm their reelection chances if they are. also being a back bencher gives you more time to do constituency stuff and campaign
megalols if this happened
TWITTER.COM House of Lords Appointment Comitte could block him because of his involvement in the Greensill scandal
A few nonentities standing down as well
I don’t remember anyone tho being appointed to the cabinet who also had to be made a peer at the same time.
Peter Mandleson! (After being sacked from cabinet twice before hand, and standing down as an MP to become a European Commissioner).
@nartinhutch Carrington was Foreign Secretary and resigned on April the fifth 1982 for the failure of the Foreign Office in not anticipating the Argentine invasion. Your main point remains accurate though.
THEGUARDIAN.COM The UK government is being challenged over whether it will join Labour in supporting an international criminal court inquiry into potential war crimes committed by Israel, with the shadow foreign secretary, David Lammy, calling for all parties to uphold international law.
An interesting issue for Lord Cameron to deal with.
Previously the Tories have argued that because Israel is not a signatory to the international criminal court, and Palestine is under Israeli occupation so therefore not a sovereign state, that the international criminal court has no right to investigate Israeli war crimes in Palestine.
With the amounting slaughter of civilians and evidence of war crimes our new Foreign Secretary might struggle to maintain the policy that Israel does not need to be held accountable in the international criminal court.
That Guardian link's a good read Ernie, thanks.
Mrs Doubtfire is gone too. Jumped before she was pushed. Seems harsh... she did such a great job. Her genuine concern for the environment she carried out with such passion
That's one ray of sunshine. Who has she been replaced with?
Please say Mark "SoS for Drivers" Harper has gone too?
Sunaks gonna need to find a few more ministers now - I've lost track of how many resignations now - mainly juniors it must be said.
Oh I am enjoying this
Mail online comments are glorious. I suspect chemists will run out of aspirin by the end of the day. How many sessions can a defib be used for?
Their hero has been dethroned and they've not even got over Boris yet! Or Liz!
How long do we reckon Cruella will stay quiet for before she comes out swinging then? I imagine she's feeling mightily aggrieved and keen to vent her furious indignation
She should really leave it until Wednesday so she can blame him for the failure of Rwanda/take the credit for Rwanda, but when it comes to keeping her gob shut she's like a teenager with tourettes who's just necked a can of Red Bull
Sunak seems to have cut off the head of whatever devil he had done his deal with.
This seems to be quite a reset.
They must of realised that the culture wars weren't going to cut it.
Let's see what the ERG/Tufton Street/right wing nut jobs do next.
I see party girl Therese Coffey has chucked it in.
I do wonder who's in the pipeline for that jobby?
Steve Barclay, ex health sec, has now got the environment jobbie.
So. Cameron making a second run for PM in the near future?
Just looks at the daily mail comments through a vpn. Oh man they are going into meltdown, one even suggested that all tory mp's from the last 13 years should be hung for treason
I dunno that sounds like its worth thinking about
"Laura Trott made Treasury chief secretary".
Will the real Laura Trott stand up?
Very similar looking TBF.
How long do we reckon Cruella will stay quiet
interviewed by Johnson on GB news first thing Thursday?
Thats the first time I've ever read the Daily Mail comments section
I mean, I expected it to be bad, but.... WOW! 😳
They don't like Rishi much, do they? Whereas they bloody love Cruella
With the parade of utter dimwits that are now being announced as ministers, Rishi is well through the bottom of that barrel. Victoria Atkins has just been appointed Health Secretary
It must literally have been like the episode of the Thick Of It where they're desperately trying to find anyone to appoint as Minister for Social Affairs before finally getting Nichola Murray to take it as 5th or 6th choice
