Liz! Truss!

Different types of intelligence again. On some types ernie is one of the smartest on here and i generally enjoy his posts even arguing with him.

He wont like me saying that tho. Usually runs rings round me rhetorically. 🙄🤣

Anyway… ladies and gentlemen, meet your new Health Minister who’s going to sort out the NHS

Oh.my.god

Muffin man i mean the pile on where everyone jumps on some poor sod who does not agree with the group think. A bit different from not letting folk especially ernie getting away with a non answer🤣

Even a slight deviation from the script isn’t tolerated.

The problem isn’t with disagreeing. The problem is with all the vitriol and hyperbole dished out.

There are some people who appear to think that the way to deal with people with whom you disagree is to hurl abuse until they go away.

I rarely agree with you but you present a case well

Yup, that is very much my opinion too. So why doesn’t mefty post anymore – he’s suddenly lost the ability to present his case well? Or put off by the childish ranting about hating all Tories and everyone who votes for them?

One by one every Tory supporter on here has been either driven out or silenced, it seems pointless for mefty to remain and bother to engage.

FFS just look at the grief I received for daring to suggest not every single thing that Johnson did as prime minister was wrong!

Couldn’t back it up,though, could you. 😉

She hasn’t listened a thing from Boris filling the cabinet with yes men/women has she?

Also…

Therese Coffey has been appointed secretary of state for health and social care.

She is a nasty piece of work, appointing her to oversee the NHS and social care gives me chills.

We need to be a bit more like bonobos

So why doesn’t mefty post anymore

@mefty – why don’t you post anymore?

We need to be a bit more like bonobos

Who, the Labour Party?

With three female prime ministers and the use of sex as a cultural prop, I think the Tories might have cracked it.

Bill – are you referring to sexually promiscuous behaviour?

You didn’t get grief ernie. I just wated you to back.it up🤣🙄

Accoding to Ernie its my fault mefty does not post anymore because i refuse to hide my loathing of the tories.

The man who can prove normative determinism is bunk James Cleverly, is foreign secretary. Wow.

i refuse to hide my loathing of the tories.

There’s refusing to hide it; and there’s indulging the desire to shout about endlessly. To be fair you’re not too bad for for that.

Holy shit, she’s found someone who makes Patel lol like a cute fluffy bunny to replace her.

None, then?

I haven’t edited anything.

Quoting part of what I said is editing.

Kept Ben Wallace though so there’s something going on between the ears! 😀

On giving her a chance, I think of the popular saying :

Fool me once shame on you,
Fool me twice shame on me,
Fool me…

…wait, what are we up to again?

Left bollox?

Deserves recognition. 😂

Not offering any odds on Kier?

There’s no need for that. Starmer might be right-wing but to suggest that he would stand in a Tory Party leadership election is a bit below the belt!

Dunno, they’ve just made a former Lib-dem the Tory leader. At the risk of derailing things further could we get odds for Corbyn to replace her?

Don’t mention the C word !!!

I’m looking forward to a good fry up and a couple of beers twice a day on prescription given the new NHS leader.
(It’ll solve the long term pension problems – as everyone will be dead by 53)

Oh I think she HAS. Mates together for 2 years. Just cross yer fingers you don’t get ill or crash and need treatment.

Johnny mercers wife 🤣🤣

The new health secretary is only 51?? What kind of paper round did she have?

So she’s going to spaff money like a pissed sailor on shore leave while simultaneously cutting taxes?

IMF and raging inflation here we come. Brace, Brace, Brace!

jake berry – minister without portfolio; more like minister without principles or minister without a brain

Really liking the media’s oblique references to truss and kwarteng being…friends or good friends.
How long before more ‘detailed’ comments emerge?

Anyone else noted a weighting of appointments towards east anglian MPs?
Yes, I know her constituency is in the region; is this her way of thanking the turnip taliban for not forcing her out when her extra-marital thrusting with mark field was exposed?

‘Pork bayonets!’ Bonobos was a reference to a remote and long distant debate on here.

The ERG has now completed its takeover of the government and is now running the country

Ironic that it is a remain campaigning former Lib Dem that has been their vehicle for doing so

That new cabinet is as terrifying as expected.

Ah, possibly before my time.
Bonobos, truss, kwarteng – naked arses going up and down, up and down, up…

That new cabinet is as terrifying as expected.

Aren’t you rejoicing in the fact that our new Deputy Prime Minister is a Northern lass who looks as if she might have visited Gregg’s a few times binners?

jake berry – minister without portfolio; more like minister without principles or minister without a brain

That useless piece of shit is my MP, lives in Anglesey ~100mile away from his constituency of flat cap doffers who keep re electing him on doing **** all.

Aren’t you rejoicing in the fact that our new Deputy Prime Minister is a Northern lass who looks as if she might have visited Gregg’s a few times binners

I’m thinking I may follow her lead and start smoking again actually

Getting the smoking ban repealed is just one of her views, alongside restricting a woman’s access to abortion

Nice

We are now ruled (and it is ‘ruled’) by extremists in all departments

Truss is an absolute sock puppet who hasn’t yet realised that the ERG cannot be either reasoned with or placated and nothing will ever be enough.

I expect she’s about to find out if she tries to instigate anything they regard as ‘socialism’, which will be anything seen as ‘handouts’

Think we knew today was coming, but now it’s actually here and happened i’m pretty much of the mind to completely ignore politics and just stock up on tinned goods and ration packs, to think a few years back we were laughing at the US with Trump, now look at where we are, i’m starting to look back at the Cameron era as being reasonable!

ernesto – ah yes, ms coffey; such a ‘northern lass’ that her first name is a french affectation which she’s chosen to retain, complete with acute and grave accents.
Pretentious? Oui.
So much of a ‘northern lass’ that, on getting a uni place, she went to oxford and has stayed away from liverpool and the north ever since.
Pronouncing support for a local footie team and regional causes doesn’t make her a ‘northern lass’.
She is no more northern than I’m a member of the landed gentry.

The Guardian’s reference to coffey being ‘…convivial’ caused a smirk; it’s code for…likes a drink and is noisy with it.
Let’s hope her ‘conviviality’ doesn’t get in the way of improving the NHS.

likes a drink and is noisy with it.

Are you sure she isn’t Northern?

french affectation

She is a catholic, there are a few of them in Liverpool, probably named after Thérèse of Lisieux.

So much of a ‘northern lass’ that, on getting a uni place, she went to oxford

You think that northerners shouldn’t accept a place at Oxford?

Pretentious? Oui.

Using the name her parents gave her? Outrageous.
