[747man]

Oooopppsss ! Rishi for PM,You Say.....Well

[vidmaster]

Precisely 🥸🥸🥸🥸

[jackspratt]

So Jumbo and vid, seeing as Sunak seems to be on the nose, who would be your choice?

If it helps, a lot of sensible people would suggest Starmer.

But don't let that deflect you.

[Whistler]

Dissolve parliament and invoke monarchist rule, the devine right of Camilla's handbag.

[Giggle]

Ohhhh, look at all the Americans sticking a boot in, proclaiming the UK government a dysfunctional dumpster fire ....

[jackspratt]

Goodness ....... the more I read of this, the more my eyes are opened to the desperate (or is it depraved) depths of the UK Tory press.

This. (indirectly) from the Mail:

When Johnson eventually did decide to stand aside on Sunday night, it was just in time for a rapid rewriting of newspaper editorials. The Mail described his decision to exit the contest as “a remarkable gesture of magnanimity from a remarkable politician – perhaps the most brilliant of his generation”.

In a glowing editorial it praised Johnson, suggesting it was in his gift to choose whether he wanted to be prime minister. “With his formidable campaigning skills, optimism and vision, and ability to woo parts of the electorate that had never voted Tory before – to great success in the Red Wall – who would have bet against him? But for the good of the party and the nation, he set his dream aside. This was a gesture of wisdom and statesmanship. By withdrawing from the race, he has spared his party a bloody and fatal civil war.”

or alternately he was 40 votes short of getting into the race and didnae wanna look any more stoopid than he already does

[dezzer111]

Sunak voted P M.

[stattointhailand]

The ERG have already released a statement that they couldn't agree amongst themselves which candidate to vote for, so despite saying they will support whoever wins, everyone knows the knives are out already in the far right. Classic case of making sure the "winner" is screwed before he/she got elected, by publicly stating both candidates supported their screwed up Irish beliefs and their 3% defense ideas ............. might be a good idea to put the redecorating on hold

If anyone else is needing an emetic this morning, try this.

The adults and technocrats are now running the asylum.

And probably Michael Gove as well.

[Earnest]

He's a funny little fella.

[Aardvark]

Big money wins the day. Germany and France can't afford the EU on their own ...

[stattointhailand]

Just what UK needs, an ex Goldman Sacks banker running the country ...... perhaps someone can remind me , who was it who fooked the whole world economy a few years back? oh yes, Goldman Sacks bankers

[Earnest]

No, I think it was Goldman Sachs.

[stattointhailand]

Jacob Rees-Mogg has resigned Do us all a favour and take the rest of them with you

[jackspratt]

Rats .... sinking ships ......

Get out, before you are pushed ......

Is Rees-Mogg real - surely just a caricature.

[stattointhailand]

Unfortunately not Jack

Statto, nice Youtube video. Proves he is an unprincipled idiot. Always did make my skin crawl, so nothing surprises me.
