BBC saying Steve Barclay tipped to be health secretary.

Desperately trying to buy off the backbenchers on the 1922 committee so they don't change the rules to have another no confidence vote immediately. So transparent.

It’s Steve.

Nadine Dorries has shown herself to be utterly incompetent in her current post. She cannot even grasp her brief. I don't think I have heard anyone sound so utterly ridiculous. The fact that people on here think she should be in charge of the health service is completely baffling.

Penny "trans men are men and trans women are women" Mordaunt is a favourite to replace BJ if he goes, so it may well be battle stations soon, ladies. Again.

I'd even take Jacob Rees Mogg over her if it came to it.

Penny Mordaunt is a good MP but she doesn’t have the experience to be PM, aside from the obvious GC issue.

Agree, she would be a disaster for us. Caroline Nokes is another one who would be very bad news so I hope she’s not a contender either.

Caroline Nokes! Ha!

No, I don't think so.

Ah I see the boris post has been deleted. Savid and Rishi get a lot more flak than BoJo off rascist ignorant pillocks.

Boris needs sacking. He and other MP's partied while our queen mourned alone. I know The Queen seeked legal advice to sack him when he suspended parliament

Well Boris can only go if he resigns. He’s technically safe for another year, because he already survived a vote of no confidence.

They’ll change the rules. They’ve U turned on just about everything else.

It would be a shame for Starmer to have to resign over a beer. That’s not what democracy is meant to be. But he said he would, so he’ll have to if he’s fined.

Looking pretty clear Johnson is going nowhere. Zahawi just walked into no 10 and he’ll be Chancellor or Health Secretary tomorrow. He’s a fairly good egg.

JuSt watched Keir Starmer speak about to his response. Setting aside everything else, he was just in a repetitive loop. That weird, political soundbite, response. No honesty to it at all.

And with Durham Police yet to announce whether he and Angela Rayner et al are to receive fines for Covid breaches, it could be we have leadership battles on both sides of the House very shortly.

Agree, it is a fucking gift what the Conservatives are giving the opposition and yet they are weak, disinterested and frankly making themselves unelectable.

ElbowGreaseLightning · 05/07/2022 20:28

I like Savid Javed. I don't think he has major baggage either and is a decent bloke. I'd like to see him as PM.

Dave20 · 05/07/2022 20:21

Whatever happens I just don’t think Kier Starmer is the best alternative.

Stolen from twatter:

Who is in charge of Vice in the Conservative Party now the Tory Vice Chair has resigned?

Obviously he wasn't doing his job properly and wasn't doing enough vice!

My first thought too. Plenty of Chairs for vice in the Tory party. I was however, very surprised to learn they even had an ethics advisor. I hear he’s not being replaced (obviously not much for him to do)

FortonServices · 05/07/2022 20:18

Sunak has resigned because he’s realised the country’s finances are going up shit creek. He’s been borrowing billions and can’t see a way out of it balancing the books. If he quits, it’s not his problem anymore.

Agree but he's left it too late. He will be blamed for tanking the economy.

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2022 20:14

I just heard the phrase democracy ruined by the media

I find Brexit, Covid and this all depressing for various reasons - but the role of the media has played a big part we lose our heads
