classic quote after yet ANOTHER photo emerges of the Tories having christmas parties last year ...........

"Grant Shapps told Today “that scene is absolutely unacceptable” and “that was not authorised by the Conservative Party”.

Hello stupid !! It's IN THE TORY HQ, there's copious amounts of food and drink, someone didn't just sneek in the back door with 6 bottles of Champers and a whole raft of nibbles, it had to be organised and delivered.......

Shapps, while being grilled on SKY news, agreed that all who were involved in this circumvention of the national rules should be canned. without exception.

Apparently when pressed on this by Kay Burley and why the PM who was quizmaster at the event was still in employment, Mr Shapps responded, "This is getting silly. ..."

The fact seems lost on Bojo that in the recent votes on all sorts of Covid AND NON-COVID rules and regulations, he relied on the Labour vote more than his own back benchers.

The 1922 committee is apparently not impressed and even the Tory's traditional media bum boys have all begun to distance themselves as the smell gets worse.

It's getting so bad that even the Brexit revokers have stopped drinking so much and getting shouty.

Im thinking Russ Dean has a great chance to win North Shropshire today .......... given the massive Tory majority in the area it is pure genius to name your party "The Party party" .......... could be pushed all the way by Boris Been-bunged though

You're right to bring Russ Abbot into it. He liked a party.

Just in case you need a reminder of who is in the running to represent North Shropshire:

Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst – Conservatives

Former army medical officer and honorary NHS consultant is seeking to hold the seat for the Tories. He now works as a barrister, and says that as an MP he would “focus on ... building back better after the pandemic and supporting sustainable agriculture.”

Helen Morgan – Liberal Democrats

Her party has said that she is the only candidate that can beat the Conservatives, after she had previously fought for the seat in 2019, and she has pledged to improve local health services.

Ben Wood – Labour

The “Oswestry-born and-bred” candidate said the by-election was a chance to rid North Shropshire of Tory sleaze, and has pledged to “bring back a sense of decency” into local politics.

Duncan Kerr – Green Party

Shropshire councillor and former mayor of Oswestry, Duncan Kerr, said he would draw only the UK average wage if he became MP and donate the rest to local charities.

Kirsty Walmsley – Reform UK

The daughter of councillors, she herself became the UK’s youngest councillor when she was elected onto the now-defunct Oswestry Borough Council at the age of 21.

She said: “The reason I have put myself forward to stand as a candidate is because I believe the people of North Shropshire deserve an independent champion who truly knows and cares about the area.”

Russell Dean – The Party Party

The consultant for a yacht broker has said he would be standing on a platform of anti-sleaze and corruption.

Howling Laud Hope – Official Monster Raving Loony Party

Party chairman, Alan Hope, is running in the by-election after his 10 nominations were collected by fellow party member Nick the Incredible Flying Brick.

...and the Lib Dems kick the corrupt and sycophantic Tories into touch in North Shropshire.

RESULT!!

[stattointhailand]

34% swing to the Lib Dems ........... as Helen Morgan said "The Party's over Boris"

The only thing missing was a candidate who wanted to say "This is my first time on TV"

If they get a swing just half as big (17%) in future elections the Libs will take 30 odd seats off the Tories

Not unusual in a mid term bye election. Just wait until the next General Election and the loonies are trying to explain how they mean to run the UK. Probably more sense talked at Deans on a Friday afternoon.

You're kidding? (rhetorical question).

When a bye election sees a 34% swing from the incumbents that held the seat for nearly 200 years to the third-ranked political party nationwide, that's unusual.

When that newly-won majority is 100% larger than the incumbents average majority in their "borrowed vote" northern constituencies at the last election, that's unusual.

Now, here's something that's not unusual.

Haven't mate been living here a few years now. Surprised you still even subscribe to the Guardian after living here so long. You must really enjoy living in TIT where Boris has no say.

So, anyone else got boiling frog syndrome?

The Guardian is a great publication.

It's a significant source of British soft power. It's up there with The New York Times and Washington Post.

Never you mind the Guardianship, even the Torygraph and Times have abandoned your foppish, deceitful oaf.

He said he accepts full responsibility for the recent train wreck in North Shropshire while observing that it was the media that made it all about politics and politicians. There you go, the self effacing master of verbal gymnastics, finger pointing and throwing people under the bus, all rolled into one, has just tried to do it with the Fourth Estate. Epic fail.

You'll need a bigger bus you idiot!

You can bang on all you want about Corbyn and Abbott and the other inept and increasingly irrelevant dinosaurs if it makes you feel good and eases the pain of cheering for probably the worst PM since Theresa May who in turn was probably the worst PM since David Cameron.

More astute audiences can see a trend here.

[GT93]

The next PM will be worse than Johnson? I don't think that's possible. Well, I hope it isn't.

When you look at the list of usual suspects, there's not much of pith and substance around is there?

Even Alex would be hard pressed to mention any single Tory with the guile and savvy to lead Britain next. Brexit machinations and their very public record in recent, successively unsuccessful administrations means they can't pad their cv's. We already know the cut of their jib.

When one can't find someone who can take the proper piss out of Starmer at PMQ's, it's all a bit sad really. More sad than Boris recently evading being skewered by the SNP's obsequious Westminster milquetoast Ian Blackford by claiming that despite their adversarial House jousts, they remain the best of best friends at the Common's bar. Suck my dick FFS.

Come on then Tam, what trends are the more astute members now seeing.

[tamada]

I said audience, not members, although from the posts of some of the latter, they can already tell the deadwood from the trees here. There's at least fifty Tory back benchers that are growing more astute day by embarrassing day. Being bailed out by your opposition on critical votes in parliament is a sign of weakness, not a shot well played.

Johnson's popularity is now hostage to omicron. The social disconnect he shares with his cabinet and sycophants will be his undoing. If he has guessed right, he may get the nod from the 1922 but the thickness of that ice has already been declared but there's still no evidence of him going on a diet, just more of his "hard workers" gobbling up more cheese and wine. If he's hopelessly wrong, it's curtains and not just the one's where he farrows.

[GT93]

After weeks of embarrassing headlines over lockdown gatherings and criticism over his failure to heed scientists’ advice ahead of Christmas, Boris Johnson has found himself the target of some rather different negative publicity.

Chants of “Stand up if you hate Boris” could be heard as spectators packed Alexandra Palace in London for the 2022 PDC World Darts Championship on Monday evening.

He must be in deep shxt if this kind of thing is happening. Dithering on Omicron too.
