Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[woomy]

He doesn't have the mandate. The Conservative party do.

Yep.
This is something many people forget. You vote for the person standing in your constituency. The party with the most seat wins, forms a government and the person who is the leader of that party is installed as prime minister.
At no point are you voting for a prime minister. It's just something you get given for being the leader of the governing party.

I mean, I dont think he can fill the positions.

I've not checked, but surely there is a department with no ministers

…NI Secretary Brandon Lewis has resigned, he’s one they often put out to face the press. A big hitter, I wonder if there’ll be more this morning.

Has he fully resigned or just resigned in a 'limited and specific' way?

There are a few who are low on numbers, essentially unworkably low on numbers so government business is being cancelled.

It's a Coup D'[Poor language removed]

 

[The binman chronicles]

Sky reporting he's actually going to do a reshuffle. Astonishing delusion.

There will be 22 cardboard cutouts in the cabinet before lunchtime.

"See Schwarzenegger and Stallone agree with me, why can't the rest of my party?"

"All agreed, let's bomb Moscow!"

Pensions Minister Guy Opperman walks...

 

[Rita_Poon]

He's an absolute joke. The key thing will be finding out if he's just not understood the gig is up or he's deciding to cling on by any means necessary

Its why hes had all those kids, last line of defence, get your onezies on and get out there and crack heads.

Probably borrow it from that whopper from the Marine game

He probably could but he'd be rounding up utter liabilities like Mark Jenkinson.
