He will I guess, he'll try and fight on for as long as he can but basically he'll be without a cabinet soon bar from the sycophants. Dead man walking now.

Excellent as long as he takes the party down with him..keep lying Boris

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Gove will be plotting, but I cannot imagine a worse PM other than Starmer……

What, worse than Boris??

Cant imagine there is even one of these that applies to anybody in the party. What a sorry state of affairs.

For some balance, Barbara Cartland's younger brother Ronald was a Tory MP. His first speech in Parliament in 1936 saw him attack Baldwin's government for screwing over the poor, and he further blackened his card when he spent most of his time after that vehemently attacking the policy of appeasement publicly. Backing up his rhetoric he joined the TA in the late 1937, went to France when war was declared, led his unit in helping to protect the Dunkirk evacuation and was shot dead during the retreat. His brother had died fighting the day before. In his last major speech before war was declared he said this (when Chamberlain tried to adjourn the Commons in August 1939):

The right hon. Gentleman is the head of a strong Government. He has an immense vote and he knows that he can carry anything through the Lobby. He has only to consult his right hon. Friend the Patronage Secretary, and he can get anything through. How easy it would be for him, when the whole of democracy is trying to stand together to resist aggression, to say that he had tremendous faith in this democratic institution. Personally I cannot see why he could not come down and say, "We will decide to meet on 21st August, or on a certain date, and if, after consulting with the Opposition Leaders, we are all agreed that there is no reason to meet, then do not let Parliament meet." Everybody would accept that. We are in the situation that within a month we may be going to fight, and we may be going to die. [Hon. Members: "Oh!"] It is all very well for hon. Gentlemen to say "Oh." There are thousands of young men at the moment in training in camps, and giving up their holiday, and the least that we can do here, if we are not going to meet together from time to time and keep Parliament in session, is to show that we have immense faith in this democratic institution. I cannot imagine why the Prime Minister could not have made a great gesture in the interests of national unity. It is much more important, as my right hon. Friend the Member for Sparkbrook said, to get the whole country behind you rather than make jeering, pettifogging party speeches which divide the nation. How can the Prime Minister ask for real confidence in himself as Prime Minister, and as Leader of the country rather than Leader of a party? I frankly say that I despair when I listen to speeches like that to which I have listened this afternoon.

That was someone who met all seven principles. The current shower are unfit to even be mentioned in the same post as him.

Turning on each other now

I think her time involved with professional wrestling will stand her in good stead.

This is not a joke post.

Anyway lads, I think we can all agree that Rishi wasn’t up to todays challenge with cost of living, and the other fella was just playing along. Good to see the back of both of them and we shall see what tomorrow brings….

Another scandal, Johnson lying again, some different ministers denying knowledge and lying for him and the story changing four times in two days, just another day for your hero Pete, I can see why you like him said the blind man...

So is the country......

12% of Labour voters don't think he should resign. Bloody hell. Didn't realise so many people didn't have access to media. ?

 

[mahermi1]

And another :

Another one bites the dust, another nobody, another whose suddenly remembered I had dignity and honour once and then I met Boris...

 

[Naisy'sCharitableLeanings]

My main concern with all this is that Mosh is probably watching developments and is ready to offer Boris some kind of job. Everton that…

 

[Yarrgh]

Barclay in as Health Secretary.

Health secretarily.

I'd imagine they think he's an asset to the Labour Party.

The education secretary has been chosen to replace Rishi Sunak, who quit earlier this evening.
