Genie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 JRM will certainly be ITK on Boris’s next moves, today he’s warning the Conservatives not to block his return if he seeks to run in another constituency. Maybe the rumours about taking Dorries seat have some substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I am outside the tent pissing in so I don't get it. If he has resigned and if he is looking to stand in Dorries seat, if that's the case is it only because it's safer? Is that the only reason? If that's the only reason doesn't he think it looks really dumb, resign one month and then announce that you are standing. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 If it was the plan then it’s a mess now. It was rumoured months ago, ND steps down to accept her peerage, BJ moves into her safer seat. Now she has quit at the wrong time and she didn’t get the peerage what’s in it for her? BJ’s power is diminishing by the day. What a hilarious mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted June 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2023 just absolutely speechless. Some of this lot couldn’t be more right wing without descending into the far right. I wonder what these people actually want? Far right governance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of this lot couldn’t be more right wing without descending into the far right. I wonder what these people actually want? Far right governance? A couple of things. There's a cadre of right wingers that entirely believe the second you have any government intervention in life (at least the bits they don't benefit from - they're nothing if not hypocrites) that that isn't a right wing government. So help for energy bills, anything but the bare minimum of support for the poor/unfortunate, etc etc. Compassion is a left wing word. There's also the appeal, for some, of the right on tough guy attitude. It makes them feel good to front up to other people's troubles and insist they just get over it, and any government position that isn't in line with that tough nut posing isn't conservative. So all the shittiness of life in the UK at the moment is more a symptom of government acknowledging at all it then it is that things are shit. This also ties into the culture war shit which directly contradicts lots of classic conservative standpoints head on. As ever, these are held by those who are alright.

No wonder that knob head Harwood was laughing as I bet he can't believe there are still people thick and gullible enough who want more of the same and some. Imagine a prick like this was your dad, brother, son or husband you'd be disowning him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2023 I wonder how many of the flag shagging Jacob Rees-Farage Brexiteer types under the age of fifty would like to see a readoption of pre-decimal currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Episode 637 of “Boris Johnson tries to bend the rules” Quote Rishi Sunak has accused Boris Johnson of asking him to "overrule" a panel tasked with vetting his appointments to the House of Lords. The House of Lords Appointments Commission (HOLAC) has confirmed it rejected eight of the former prime minister's nominations. Mr Sunak said Mr Johnson asked him to overrule them, or "make promises to people". But he said he refused, adding it was "something I wasn't prepared to do". "I wasn't prepared to do that, I didn't think that was right. And if people don't like that, then tough," he told a tech conference in London. The intervention marks a new point in an escalating war of words over Mr Johnson's controversial resignation honours list. link Edited June 12, 2023 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will just have to settle for some good old-fashioned grifting in the after-dinner circuit and knocking out crappy articles to the spectator again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
