Current Affairs The Conservative Party

Clare Short was the last minister I recall resigning. In Northern Ireland when Arlene Foster was giving evidence to the RHI inquiry she said that as a minister in government she was responsible for the things that happened in her ministry but not accountable. Most of us just dismissed it as nonsense, little did we know that she was right. Now Westminster has gone one step further and you are neither responsible or accountable for your Ministry or your actions provided you say sorry. I bet you Hancock regrets crying on TV a few months ago, he should have saved that one for this situation.

Could be wrong, but always seemed a decent person Clare Short.

Yeah she is sound. My formative boozing days were in her Uncle Paddy’s bar in Crossmaglen.

As for the Tories, delighted to see them exposed yet again. Go Matt!

Embarrassing he had the choice to resign and it took this long to do it.

Should obviously have been instantly sacked.

 

[Lapeno77]

Guess there is more to come in tomorrow's paper.
In the space of 24hrs we've gone from
'he's apologised, the matter is closed' to him quitting.

[JimmyJeffers]

Still trying to big himself up right to the end. What a scumbag.

 

[ForestBlue]

Shut up you tw*t Hancock! The patronising arrogance of them is unbelievable!

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Cummings getting the update.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Shamelessl scum that Hancock, should have resigned/sacked last year.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Finally, that utter scumbag Handjob has gone.

Just the rest of them who need booting out. Mad how the outrage has been about him cheating rather than how horrific he has been as a minister.

Does he have B&B rooms above the pub?

We stayed in a B&B in Cross, circa late 90s, and it was a pub.

I often wonder was it Paddy Short’s pub.

We had a great night in the Rangers club

Shut up you tw*t Hancock! The patronising arrogance of them is unbelievable!

Did someone tell him resignation was the same as an Oscars acceptance speech?

 

[Tubey]

It's the arrogance of Johnson/the Tories in saying "the matter is now closed" that irks me the most.

May as well have said "shut up plebs, your masters have spoken."
