This is very unkind and puerile. And so am I
And now all eyes on Friday next week and the fall-out from three by-elections:
One of the best ways to sink a troubled ship is for the bridge crew to go overboard prematurely.
OTOH, waiting too long is a great way to go down with the actually doomed ship.
Decisions, decisions. Who’s a panicky wuss and who, if anyone, is made of sterner stuff? We shall see.
And who’s either a gambler or has a spectacularly bad sense of timing?
“That’s not grease…”
Well, ha ha.
(Low turnouts suggest a lot of Tories stayed at home, so it remains to be seen what happens in the General Election, but still, one in the eye for the government: cabinet reshuffle by Monday?)
Greenpeace draped black fabric over his house in protest of his environmental record. Does the UK need another deep coal mine? I don’t know.
Looks like Rishi just lost a big issue, and that Keith Starmer is serious about being the next PM, and not in a minority government:
The author of that piece is deeply deluded if they think ceding ground on trans rights means the issue is over. They just handed the bigots a victory, they aren’t going to stop now that they’re winning.
A flounce delete for the ages:
My favourite bit of her resignation letter to Sunak is:
“You have no mandate from the people …”
As she flounces because she has been denied an unelected seat in the upper house of parliament. A fitting farewell. Politicians almost invariably have at least a whiff of Dunning Kruger about them, but this was surely the poster child.

It’s hilarious. Shame HIGNFY & The News Quiz are on sabbatical; they’d
have a field day. The total lack of awareness is … to be expected, i suppose.
She accused Mr Sunak of abandoning “the fundamental principles of Conservatism”
ie, not giving your mates peerages.
And they wonder why people think they’re scum.
It’s been a busy old summer for Rishi Sunak, as he rolled out a calculated series of PR initiatives designed to showcase Conservative successes and put Labour on the back foot. We had Immigration Week, Crime Week, NHS Week and maybe a couple of others that passed me by. And what has been the result of this diligent focus on these voter-critical issues?
And he’s had to appoint a new Defence Secretary, who probably thinks he’s an expert on camouflage:
Lots of shocked incredulity about the appointment, although frankly it will get lost in the noise of all the other shit going on.
He thinks he’s an expert on everything.
I still have to question the sanity of about 23% of the population then. 1% I accept are extremely rich and also without an altruistic bone in their bodies, but what about the rest?
I would guess, older home owners insulated from mortgage/rent rises and benefitting from increased interest rates, who believe a lot of what they read online and in the Times about the scourge of wokeness. Basically, the sort of people who are now somehow very worked up about ULEZ, despite the fact that their cars are new enough to be exempt.
True. You should probably add in the Mail, Express etc into that. The front page of the Mail today made my blood boil. The state of the NHS is down to all those callous docs, nurses and other medical staff apparently. Nothing to do with the Govt, definitely not.
From the article: “His new cabinet position will be his fifth in less than a year, having famously served as home secretary for six days under Liz Truss before becoming business secretary and then energy secretary under Sunak.”
Doesn’t it fill you with confidence? And subjectively “he has a daughter and son twins Tabytha and Noa”. I know, shallow of me. But those names…
