The Conservative Party

[Octavian]

Pep for me as PM

All fun and games until he plays Dianne Abbot in goal and leaves Starmer on the bench in the CL final

Were laughing but he would do a lot better than the clowns we currently have

Ole Gunnar would run this country better than Liz Truss

Thing with it is Johnson was ousted by the PCP - the very Party you suggest he could lead. He is wanted back by the membership - the same batshit crazy membership that wanted Truss over Sunak.

If thats what is happening anyone can surely see how its all just swirling around the plug hole and heading down the drain. Its just not feasible.

Great imagery but as the saying goes some turds just won’t flush

Don't really have an understanding into politics/government so a question...

Is this likely to drag on for another couple of years until the general election?

I'd assume the Tories calling one early would be curtains for them, so therefore won't do that? Or can it be forced?

The only people who can force it without a Commons vote are the governing party.
It's possible that a vote of no confidence from Labour would pass, but it would require a lot of COnservative MPs to not vote against it

I would imagine the pressure to call one would force Tories to act within 2 years. They will struggle to hold together as a party and they will be better of dictating events than possibly losing an opposition led vote of no confidence. They can't go on like this and any new PM will still be on shaky ground. I suspect new PM will call one soonish.

The Welsh can fuck off as well.

And the scou..... - oh, wait....!

Cheers. Halloween's going to be fun

Remember, remember,
The 5th of November...

And the scou..... - oh, wait....!

Careful now

 

[Grassland Blue]

They should just cancel HS2 for me. I’ve yet to meet one person who is excited about it. It would save an absolute fortune.

We are committed to HS2.
The costs of cancelling contracts and compensation for those means that to cancel it would cost more than continuing with the project.
Ask the yanks....

 

[remember arthur mann]

Lisa Nandy just handed Steve Baker and the Tories their arses, pity Perry Mason can't do the same.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Tories trading in ethics complaints as currency....

 

[mat]

Wasn't Ronald Regan an actor?
Marjan Sarec is president of Slovenia?
Why not here?

Yet the previous poster suggested I was smoking something

Vote Hugh Grant!

Nope - thats the point - the Tories have no-one better - she is it - that is them - bereft of any talent - hollowed out by Johnson - did you see the Cabinet coming out of Number 10 yesterday?

That was the Cabinet? Who are those guys?

It does mean that companies will expect far more hours to be worked or they will get rid of you.

Absolutely doesn’t in my experience.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Absolutely doesn’t in my experience.

Wait until the directive is removed and then let’s see what happens.

If it didn’t mean that, nobody would want the directive lifting.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Hunt wants departmental savings - here is my plan - MP's salary cut to £40k. Expenses restricted to £25k total. No 2nd home if the constituency is less than 60m from Westminster. Claims on 2nd home restricted to cheapest property - Capital Gains Tax levied on sale of property claimed for. Parliament begins work at 9.30 am - half hour recess for lunch - restarts then works through until 6pm.

Its only fair that they enter into the thing the same as we will have to.

How about, an M.P.s relatives are not allowed to work in their offices?
How about a hotel where M.P.s can stay over for free when working in Parliament instead of a 2nd home?
How about if you're an M.P. that is your job. No additional jobs, directorships etc. can be taken on?
How about removing the alcohol licences from the bars and making them comply with drugs and alcohol policy in the workplace?
The c**ts would be in for a shock if I ran the show!

What's David Lloyd George doing these days?

You can't object to government spending on transport infrastructure in London (like Crossrail) then object to tunnelling under Manchester.

Geology may be different, but tunnelling techniques are sophisticated now.

You meab the crossrail project that has been beset with problems and is way over budget?
THAT crossrail?
Ask the yanks...
