Kwasi Kwarteng might know

He's a Tory, he'd still put people on a plane to Rwanda (and has said as much)

They don't think it's as shitshow. It's all part of the plan

Some ambience from Pye Cormer Audio. Latest album - Let's Emerge!

This isn't even aimed at Tory Voters, this is Tory Members who are such a very thin slice of the electorate they don't represent anything

Just think how absolutely stupid this process is I can't think of any other election that is held this way and remember it's only an election to be a candidate in an election They could easily have got the nominations phase out of the way. Right you lot have reached the threshold. Hold one round of hustings (somewhere in Westminster) and Single Transferable Vote to whittle it down to the final two. Put the final two down to the membership with one round of Hustings on say Russia Today for the membership to watch where the people who really support the MPs are coming from and thats it Just remember, this is the way they want it but no-one else is allowed this luxury of perpetually whittling down the candidates one at a time and the dirty tricks and getting people to vote for different candidates is what they actually want. So Mordor complaining about the smears and the dirty tricks, should have raised those concerns with the 1922 committee at the start or before this processs began. It's what they and she wanted.

All these debates do is make the membership hate their elective representitives a bit more, sew a bit more division in the Tory Party and give the rest of us a laugh (or the horrors, if you're taking them too seriously) All the candidates are Tory, they are all still words removed, just some of them are clearings in the wood too Tories are still going to be Tory and do Tory things

Welcome to the tinnitus club

Great band EDIT: and after spotting you posting this I noticed their first album has been repressed and that got bought, plus, they are playing in Jerkinbed in August

Nah, these debates or hustings or whatever they are mean close to zero, the Tory Plebs will get the choice they are given and thats that WordremovedHome.com has Truss currently in second place with the membership (Badenoch first) which is actually upward movement because they have seemingly dumped Mordor like a hot brick (she was clearly top by a long way before the first debate). You can get 5/1 on Truss right now, I'm actually tempted. The bookies seem a little out of touch on this one, they still have Sunak favourite with Mordaunt second. Could be a nice little earner

Doubt it, she won't get presented to the Tory Plebs as a choice. I really don't think these tv hustings are going to change the minds of many if any actual MPs If anyone loses votes as a result of them it's most likely to be Mordor but I doubt she'll lose much I think the most likely matchup is Truss vs Sunak but a lot depends on Tugendhats votes, logically they will go to Mordor but suspect some may actually go to Truss, they are highly unlikely to go to Badenoch which will be her getting knocked out in the following vote and her votes will most likely go to Truss

That was definitely The Morning Star. Owned and run by a workers collective in line with the polices of The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). Started out life as the Daily Worker when it was actually owned by the CPGB. It currently follows the policies of the Communist Party of Britain (CPB), yes another Life of Brian moment on the left when the Tankies and the Eurocommunists split. This lot are the Tankies as they were back then Anyway, phew its slightly hot out

Nuclear winter maybe My Grandfather was a member of the Communist Party, in fact he was one of a team that helped translate the Communist Manifesto into Welsh so I'm led to believe. It was the only daily paper that got delivered to his house.

No idea I was an 11 year old who read the Morning Star every morning

My recollection of 1976 is that it was hotter than this and for a very sustained period, like weeks on end The roads melted, we wrote our names in sticky tar It started well before I finished junior school and ended sometime after I started comprehensive school I think 2020 generally had nicer more sustained hot weather than this year Genuine conversation from last night with a man who was at least 65 "This heatwave is dreadful isn't it, people are going to die" "You've been stood in the local park all day at a festival, you appear to be still with us"

In other news everyones favourite crater that was formally an airport in Chernobaivka has seemingly gone Boom! for about the 4th time this week Yes it's Groundorc Day

You could always try Vessel FInder the marine equivalent of flight radar to look for a carrier in the Med (don't bother, it's shit for military) Sorry, no clue.

Not sure NATO membership is a requirement there. FInland and Sweden would do the same inside or outside of NATO

Sunday morning breakfast tunes

It was an introductory offer when I bought it

Not cheap but worth it

I b ooked the day off on Mondfay, I might go in, just for the aircon

Pleased with that, first time doing it for a while Wordle 392 3/6*
