He pretty much mate it up didn’t he? Mad stuff.
He ****ing lied mate. Blatantly.
Also, he'd never be read in on UKSF operations as a member of the opposition or a non-defence/security portfolio minister.
Fair play to Turgidhat for calling it out.
Even more so when I explain to curious work colleagues that the ECHR has little to no bearing on military operations
And leaving it would explode the Good Friday Agreement, amongst many other things, and instantly make the UK an international pariah. Well… even more of one than we are already after all the Brexit bollocks. Proper rogue state status
They're completely ****ing mental!
Aye. It's like they've heard STW saying this is the most mental the Tories have been and gone "hold my beer".
It pained me when I read a headline refering to Turgidhat and Beverley having served.
One has, the other attended cosplay cadets once or twice.
Whatever Labour does it worries me we're going to have an absolutely ****ing abysmal opposition. Again.
So Laura got caught helping Boris with his interview prep then.

Hiya,
Cleverly, or not so cleverly. "We got Bre5h1t done" ! Clucking bell that's nothing to be proud of what total grollocks. You would've thought the lurch to the right would be the opposite they should do. Mind you, when all that is left is a bunch of pound shop enoch powell's, after Blotuses cull it's not a shock is it 😉 Keep loony Tory's 😉
JeZ
and been shocked that they don’t realise or care that the ECHR also protects *our* rights too?
I was amused to see some people switching from talking about JSO sentencing (very in favour of very harsh punishment) to when the rioters were being sentenced (why so harsh it was just fun and games).
I think in some cases they would think that it simply wouldnt be needed for them since the legal system will be always be in their favour (as the quote goes it stops both poor and rich men sleeping under a bridge) but then many others rant on about the two level system or whatever. I guess they just assume the ECHR doesnt cover them at the moment anyway?
Even more so when I explain to curious work colleagues that the ECHR has little to no bearing on military operations.
What about when special forces are sent into Europe to capture some vaccines? Oh, wait, that was just a Johnson fantasy to sell books. Carry on

I'd honestly love to hear more about that. It's like the plot of a primary school kids summer writing project. ?

Maybe he got his draft "memoirs" and his entry for this year's 500 Words mixed up?
With Boris, that's probably true.
He probably lifted it when visiting a school. There's some poor kid who got an F and nobody would believe the PM stole his homework.
Is "Boris stole my homework" the new "Dog ate..."? Actually no, don't answer that, it gives the lying sack o'shite more airtime and oxygen and the less of that he has the better.
I had the misfortune to catch the last few minutes of Badenoch’s so-called speech at the Tory conference.
It's astonishing how, just when you think the whole shitshow couldn't possibly be any worse, the next Tory leader (leader-in-waiting) manages to lower the bar again.
Badenoch is full on insane. Like, clinically bonkers, full on window-licking, howling at the moon insane.
I see that James Cleverley is being very critical of the UK giving back the Chagos Islands to Mauritius
A policy that was put in place by…
*checks notes*
… James Cleverley

He's the consomethinge Army Reserve officer, has a short memory and overestimates his ability by a long mark.

He needs dropping down a deep dark hole and forgetting about.
I'm glad Kuenssberg got rumbled giving him the heads-up. It shows that she's a Johnson stooge and it also means the so-called interview has been pulled completely. Result.
I can’t see the problem. Wasn’t Johnson famous within the civil service for never ever reading briefing notes?
Why start now?
binners

That was exactly my first thought.

I always assumed she'd given him the questions and probably some suggested answers in advance anyway. She's basically the Tory MP for the BBC.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa ha ha
And breath....
...then there were three.
I'm still laughing. Cleverly, oh what a guy!
He's gonna choose his opponent and his team lend votes, it's gonna be jenrick, badenoch will go nuclear.
Oh the humanity
I'm hoping Badenoch and Cleverly in the final, both effing useless in their own ways. Jenrick could be dangerous and I want to see his face if he gets knocked out. Question is where where will Tuggys votes go?
I want Cleverly to win... just for Honest Bob's face and Badenoughs flouce
However getting the Party Members to vote for you is like raising the dead.
So a persistent Tagnut has been disposed of.
Now it's a contest between:
Robert 'Honest Bob' Jenrick - a man so crooked and of so few actual principles (good or bad) that he probably gets out of both sides of the bed simultaneously each morning.
James 'Jimmy Dimly' Cleverly - the embodiment of reverse nominative determination. Slow-witted, doughy and a proven misogynist who is a sitting duck for any Labour politician with an ounce of political nous.
Kemi 'Bad Enoch' Badenoch - at least twice as tetchy as Sunak, utterly crackers, and with all the charisma of an insufferable 6th former who has just been made a prefect to stop her whingeing about not being one.
It's magnificent. It is the inevitable outcome of courting Brexity populism. Utterly fantastic. 100% deserved.
It'll be Generic. And as he messes up Al J will have another go.
La crème de la crème du merde. In the way that people get the governments they deserve, the Conservative Party also appear to be electing the leadership they deserve. Bravo.
I’m in the unfortunate position of knowing one of bad Enoch’s advisors. They’re a truly awful person as well: full on legatum volunteer and latterly employee, vote leave minion and fawning Bojo groupie. The rot is not merely a show. You wouldn’t have them over to dinner. Or if you did, you’d be awfully tempted to be careless when serving their dessert.
Headbangers be headbanging!!!
Badenoch or Jenrick.
Jesus wept.
Hopefully whichever of them wins will manage to keep the Tories far from power for a good time yet.
Sweet Christmas! Never expected that!
Well if who ever is chosen stays the course then the conservatives wont get back into power at the next election. Both are as mad as a bag of badgers. They are about to be lead by another Liz Truss
They are about to be lead by another Liz Truss
Was Truss ever politically conservative rather than just economically?
Cleverly done.
And yes, you can read that in a couple of ways....
Labour’s fortunes to revive from here if that is the choice to be offered to the electorate
Phew, nearly done - at least we are closer to knowing who to get behind.
Tories and Reform will now most likely merge. Will it be after another wipeout in 2029 as the arsehole vote is split again?
Looked at like that, it might as well be Badenoch now, merge in 2027-28 and Farage takes over if it looks like Badenoch can't win at the head of a combined party.
Shit the bed. We could end up with a fully fascist party as one of the two main ones.
Was Truss ever politically conservative rather than just economically?
Do you mean "socially conservative"? Even that's a polite euphemism, isn't it.
Check her USA appearances since losing the PM position to see where she is on "social" issues.
This is hilarious

Starmer, Reeves & Co will be ecstatic
The result nobody in the Tory parliamentry party wanted apart from badenoch
It's calamitous for them. But great for the lib Dems.
And of course starmer
I don't think its as clearly good news as you make thing. Conservative + Reform share of vote is more than labour in this election, and it'll likely swing further from labour (as the party in power often suffers some). If the right manages to unite, things could prove interesting come the next election
The reason they've kept Farage at arm's length is that they know that whilst approx 20% of the electorate love him and 10% could be won over the other 70% despise him with a passion. Having him join would drive away the last remnants of the socially liberal pro-business support that they've already hemorrhaged chunks of to the Lib Dems and hugely drive voter turn-out against him.
Especially now Brexit is widely regarded to be the disaster it was always going to be and he remains the enduring face of it.
Any party with him at it's head will have a certain floor in their support and almost guaranteed to be in the mix but hugely unlikely to ever have enough support to contest for No.10.
That's the electoral calculation, there's also the personal factor being that he's a weapons-grade arsehole who's spent the last 3 years lagging them all off and who will expect to run the party as his own petty fiefdom with zero bandwidth for anyone else.

I agree somewhat, however the unknown is how many current Tory voters would stay if it lurched (further!) to the right - many have already defected to the Libs, and equally how many Reform could vote Tory, since many are disaffected Labour voters. Hard to see how they can square that circle.
