King Of Paisley Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 57 minutes ago, aaid said: All kicking off - literally - in the HoC. Reports of Tory MPs being physically manhandled in to vote for the Government. Chris Bryant just claiming that Therese Coffey and Jacob Rees Mogg were involved. Apparently Bryant has photos of this which he will hand to the deputy speaker. Unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger intae them Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 not a happy Tory, and while almost all of what he said was admirable and sounded genuine in his disgust at recent events and leaderships……. kinda ruined it when he sounded even more concerned at back bench tory mp’s going on the buroo.

kumnio Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 This would be tremendously funny, if only they hadn't completely fucked the economy. The average person will be paying for this for decades to come, well your relatives in generations will still be paying for this. Most of these fuckers should end up in jail, or worse. This country needs a revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 The political system lends itself to this kind of nonsense. Could easily be another Tory leader and another…. Until GE day in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories best bet is to get rid off Truss asap and distance themselves from the current chaos. There is a line of thought that says the Tories could call an election and let Labour inherit the shambles that they've created and make Labour unelectable for the next 20 years but I still feel the first option is more likely.

Orraloon Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Apparently Liz Truss herself didn't vote last night. Does that mean she should lose the whip? This is now breaking into Kezia Dugdale levels of incompetence. Remember when she forgot to press the button? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Where it became shockingly obvious just how insane it was for the tories to topple Bojo the Clown was when all the candidates emerged to replace him... wow, what a collection of lightweight arseholes. I could not believe how poor a field it was. And that really is about the best they could muster it seems. (I have never seen the tories in such bad shape, shocking.) At that point the men in grey suits should have been hammering the brakes on and calling out "Whoah everybody, Boris!, hold-up mate! change of plan...'. This mess was so predictable yet they all went ahead with it. How can they have fucked a landslide victory so badly, so comprehensively and so quickly. It is astonishing. Can't be long before Slitherking Gove emerges from his lair to 'save' them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 What a bloody disaster. Grant Shapps made Home Secretary after openly criticising Truss and sacked as Transport minister 6 weeks ago. Never mind Yes Minister we have now entered Blackadder territory. What will be the next cunning plan I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
