Westminster Politics
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
I actually think she is dumb. She wouldn't be near Home Sec in any normal administration and is the perfect example of how ideology has trumped merit in just about every cabinet position. She has made so many stupid mistakes and been censured for it that it's crazy she's in a position of power.
Oh and she's a horrible, self-entitled, cnut too - I don't disagree with what you're saying.
I've a friend that has had some interactions with her and this was pretty much his recount of her.
You can tell after a few interviews to be fair.
I personally would rather have Johnson out as soon as possible in order to end the embarrassment of having as PM this sociopath performing as a simian version of Bertie Wooster. However awful his successor (and he/she will be awful), none of the others have the same world beating capacity for telling outright lies, nor can they get out of scrapes by tousling their hair and faking a stutter.
It will also be an ugly inheritance - massive public spending over the last few years, a party wedded to an ideal of low tax, promises of levelling up in the newly won seats, the ongoing Brexit mess…And, in terms of the media drumming up support, no doubt they will try but there won’t be the remainer bogeyman (as for May) or the Covid crisis (the current incnutbent) to fall back on.
Cummings better have irrefutable proof. Getting fed up with his little teasers.
Funny how now he is sticker for self isolating and masking.
The question is what is he getting in return for his threats? It’s not the first time he’s promised evidence and then gone quiet.
Operation "Dead Meat"? Ffs.
I want to believe, I really do. I just think they'll always find an excuse. They'll even blame it on things that they've caused and none of their media chums will ever address it. We even had Dorries come out this week and say that pensioners will no longer be at risk of fines for not having a TV license, when she herself got rid of the free ones last year. They really are a party of twats and as long as the Shadow of Corbyn looks over Labour (with their elitist "Sir" of a leader) people will always flood to the working man's party that is the Conservatives...
This Sue Gray report is going to be just like the Mueller report. It’s going to establish facts but no judgement as it never intended to and in response Boris will say “thank you very much Sue, as you can see she’s not found me guilty of any crimes so it’s time to move on” and all the Tories will rally round him shouting “TOTAL EXONERATION”.
I’m just waiting for the inquiry to release findings that effectively exonerates Boris Johnson, only for whoever’s leaking stuff to release a five minute video of him, absolutely wrecked, singing Sweet Caroline whilst wearing a party hat with a bottle of wine in his hand!
Yep. Worst thing they could do would be to give the public enough time to work out Rishi is a malevolent bluffer like all the others. They should keep the Boris train going until around a year before the next election if they can. Hopefully they can't but I'm not holding my breath.
IMO, the media haven't gone in as hard on him as they did with Corbyn and Miliband. They will change once Johnson goes
Lads hes the boss and he can do what he wants 
You better get used to it
You better get used to it
What do they need 50 letters?
The only real question seems to be if they arrive before or after sue grays report
Is it pmqs tomorrow... that might see a few more letters submitted

Generally not posted in this thread but I felt obliged to come in here and say, how does this guy continue to exist as PM? He’s more slippery than the uncleared grease on the deep fryer of a chicken and chip shop. But this one takes the absolute piss, surely? He decides the rules. He tells us the rules. Then he needs someone to tell him the rules for gun to follow the rules he made up and told us about? It’s beyond stupidity.
And frankly, a sorry reflection of why politics today is broken. Yes politics has always been about power and trying to convince voters of your credibility and plans. But now, it’s purely about party affiliation and power at all costs. How anyone in parliament can stand by this and be ok with this is such a dire reflection on where politics is.

We now read that Cummings is going to be interviewed as part of the Sue Gray enquiry.
While this is understandable, it means that the outcome could take more time.
My concern is that it increases the opportunity for the government to break some type of news story that would deflect attention away from the parties.
The longer this goes on, the more the public will become bored of this story.
I don't think cummings being interviewed will add much time as I'm sure he will head down there ASAP to stick the knife in.
That's potentially a bad sign for boris though given his conservative party connections
Hopefully you are right.
This story is pretty much at saturation level and public attention span is being stretched.
I think best case scenario for Johnson is he limps on till the covid review... announces all restrictions will be lifted and steps down and agrees to stay on till a successor is appointed
Other scenarios are the Sue grey report comes out before then or enough letters go into the 1922 committee before then
I think even if he scrapes through a vote of no confidence he's still finished
If this is true, he's finished for sure.
Ties in with what chopper said as well
Wonder if we might get conservative mps calling for him to resign at pmq's
Could the maybot twist the knife... that would be fun to watch
Understood.
I have mixed views about it.
While I totally dislike him and how he operates, he is opening the door for a Labour resurgence, at least in the polls.
And I fail to understand the appeal of Sunak. But I guess that his squeaky clean persona makes him popular. It would be interesting to see how he squares up to Starmer were he to replace BoJo.
Telegraph journo
Would be interesting to see what happens with sunak... I can't help but feel that Cummings might have some further stuff to drop ... I mean the garden where all the parties happened is shared between no10 and no11
“Boris was the only problem, we’ve removed him from leadership now, so let’s all move on and consider everything dealt with”
“Up the revolution”
These cnuts really are the absolute worst.

Boris going is terrible news. CON +999999 incoming.

This is great. It's like school kids realising that the teacher's threats actually mean feck all.
