JRM we have to maintain proprietary in government, just fuck off you utter ****.

If he goes his supporters may storm parliament as long as there is no fox hunt meeting that day.

Boris is busy trying to recreate this

If Fabricant gets Health you can bet your bottom dollar that hair transplants will become an NHS priority

If Fabric-conditioner gets promoted will he try and re-create the Whig Party?

JRM tonight being disgraceful in his defence of Johnson - minor indiscretion - can't remember everything - even harking back to Palmerston ( likes to keep it contemporary does Jakey ) and as news comes in of a number of junior ministers quitting he just laughs it off and says Johnson can plough on

Best thing that could happen to Labour would be JRM to become PM

Problem is if Stramer is guilty over that drinking incident
Boris resigns.
Who becomes PM?

This is an argument against everyone being allowed to vote ;)

I know this current crop of conservative MPs are spineless cowards without principle but surely making Nadine Dorries chancellor would make more of them resign.

I suspect it might make some invest in gunpowder, or at least large calibre weapons.

It really is just the hard-right of the party that is propping him up and control of the 1922 Committee is imperative for both sides. Don't wish to be vulgar, but the brain pool from which to draw a Cabinet is evaporating, so the quality of Government will only get even worse. Imagine that!

Brain pool! that's rather an optimistic turn of phrase, even before any resignations.

I wouldn't mind betting our family pet springer is slightly more intelligent than Dominic Rab and definitely more intelligent than Dorries.

The Week in Tory: a 77 part special covering just the last two days...

Fancy sending that out at 5.48, and in the next 30 minutes...

So his story is now that he forgot about Pincher's prior offences and that's why he made him deputy speaker.


Why the fuck are no journalists asking the obvious question, which is that he wasn't the only person who knew. The civil servants in number 10 and the foreign office would have known, the party leadership would have known.

It's simply not credible that Johnson wasn't reminded of Pincher's record.

I cant believe the resignations are based on the fact that he lied (Again)... And not that Boris is now also an enabler of sexual predation whilst in govn. Truly truly shocking imo.

The Police had two ways to go - they could have done Fred West for tax fiddling doing jobs cash in hand but thankfully pursued him for the more serious sexually motivated crimes that were also a bit murderery

I suspect much of it is that he's lied to the ministers who've been sent out to support him in the media (Quince, Raab). I think they would consider that to be crossing the line.
