Robin Walker - Minister for School Standards has now gone.
This is a good exercise in finding out who these low level Tories are, and the names of random government departments.
Also, Javid will be making a statement to the house later. That will be top viewing |
Isn't it PMQs today as well?
That should probably carry an '18' certificate. |  |

The ones who are remaining loyal to the fat oaf are now worsening their reputations as they are endorsing his behaviour. |  |

The ones who are remaining loyal to the fat oaf are now worsening their reputations as they are endorsing his behaviour. |
But as pointed out the ones who have resigned were endorsing his behaviour only a few days ago.
They're only disgusted when we find out. |  |

I don't think it matters.
Imagine you are paid £25k to do your job and a mate suddenly takes over the whole company and makes you your managers managers manager on £75k.
Are you going to report him if you see him stealing or touching someone up or getting drunk?
These people know that, if he falls, they go and they'll never have a chance to be in this position again because if it was on merit they'd have no hope.
Boris has surrounded himself with people that have to be loyal to him for that reason or people that have done wrong and whom he has dirt on, so that he has this little following of loyal soldiers that protect him as much as they can and go out and face the media and lie to defend him.
The ones left at this stage like Dorries, Truss, JRM and so on and so hopeless they won't have any place in any proper Government set up by any half competent Tory, so I don't think it matters at this point.
The only Tory I have liked in recent times (and there may be all sorts of dirt about the bloke I'm not aware of) was Rory Stewart who seemed to get out early and speak about how awful this government was. Moving forward, if they stay in power, you'd hope they'd go for people that were a mile away from this whole debacle.
But it'll be someone like Sunak, who has had his own issues, but by comparison seems scandal free.
What's mad is May was shocking and out of her depth and just awful and she's like Paul Jewell to Boris' Hurst at this point. So much better. [Post edited 6 Jul 2022 10:19]

Boris did promise to get things done and you can't argue with the speed at which he works.
Treehousegate was last week. But was also FOUR scandals ago! We've had Carriegate, BJgate, Pinchergate and Quitgate since then.
Have bought an extra big bag of popcorn for today. It's wonderful watching these b*stards slowly fall.
The best bit is that Boris won't go. If he had walked, there was a chance of someone just as evil coming in but at least someone slick enough to fool enough people to vote Tory, but the fact Boris will have to be dragged out of number 10 with his pants around his ankles and Dorries probably hanging onto one of his socks, means that it'll do a load more damage yet to the party.
Finally able to enjoy the ride. We won't stop the scum hurting the country or the people in the short term, so we have to take what little joy we can from watching them lose the jobs they were never fit to have as they slowly realise that even their blind loyalty to the idiot has to stop at some point before they completely ruin what chances they have of salvaging some career as an after dinner speaker when they are no longer able to blag a top job just by being prepared to turn a blind eye. |
I have been contemplating whether it is worth this bunch of corrupt, dishonest incompetents hanging in there for a while yet, if the end result was a wipeout of the tories at the next election.
On balance I think the short term pain would be worth the long term gain. |  |

Likewise. As I just don't trust any Tory to make anything better long term.
We all know by now that a new PM would waltz in, give everyone a bit of extra money to combat the cost of living, they'd win the next election and 5 minutes later they'd cut that money from somewhere else for the next 4 years, blaming covid legacy or brexit or something else. | | | |

And in all fairness, wouldn't care if they did.
'At least he's not hanging with pooftas'. |
Our new chancellor Didn’t he get caught out fiddling his expenses, or more accurately inadvertently claiming for the cost of heating ridding stables attached to his constituency home . [Post edited 6 Jul 2022 11:26]

Totally disagree.
The country cannot take two more years of this incompetence and selfishness. Things are rubbish at home and we are a laughing stock on the international stage.
Labour need to be able to win on their own merits, not win by default because Boris is PM (although any replacement is likely to be just as rubbish so it shouldn't be an issue).

I agree that we need a new Labour government now.
The issue for me though is that Boris has to go and there are enough stupid people in this country that will buy the BS from any vaguely new Tory PM that gives them the whole 'I am here to clean up the mess' rubbish and they'll stay in. I genuinely do fear that.
I saw something yesterday with a Tory politician on and one of the fuel protestors. He started rambling on about Tory policy and what they were doing by 2030 etc and it all sounded great but as the protestor pointed out, 12 years ago they made promises about everything and have delivered nothing and it's all they ever do. Talk about what they are now going to do, then not do anything when attention has moved to the next promise.
I would love this shower to go, but do you honestly believe enough of the Labour supporters who were hoodwinked into vote Tory for Brexit have enough about them to realise what the next Tory along the production line is also a load of rubbish? I don't have that kind of faith.
In the meantime, so many people are being absolutely destroyed by the current government to ensure the rich get richer. | | | |

How cynical is it to think that a lot of the junior ministers, are only resigning (or loosing confidence) because they are Rishi or Saj supporters. And now want BJ out so they can get their guy in |  |

What's wrong with Labour exactly?
Almost all of the people at the top come across as excellent. Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, a lot of very decent, very clued up people there.
Then there is Starmer, who whilst not exactly coming across as brilliant as the leader is probably doing what is necessary because they had a decent one in Corbyn that appealed to the common man and was clearly a decent man of integrity and look how the media treated him and some of his own party.
Starmer is doing the bare minimum which might be the right call. Let the Tories rip themselves apart, don't give the media much to try and hurt him with and keep picking up those extra votes here and there.
If Starmer went full out on the offensive, the media would perceive him as a bigger threat, tear into him more and convince the idiots on the fence to vote against Labour. | | | |

I didn't realise Ipswich had a Tory MP, (I'm not from the area), I sort of thought going by the comments in the General section here that Ipswich had a Socialist Workers MP ;) [Post edited 6 Jul 2022 11:35]

And that’s the sad thing, the state of the opposition. I find myself thinking I’m still not sure whether I would vote for Labour at the next GE. They have had a huge opportunity over the last 12-18 months to stamp their authority and show they are the only real alternatives especially with this Government’s misdemeanours, but bottomline Labour don’t fill me with a lot of faith or confidence and that’s a huge own goal on their part.

Cameron was Hurst - basically ruined the country through his own hubris. Boris is Lambert - fooled loads of gullible idiots with soundbites about improved football whilst getting us relegated without a fight. | |
