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!

I doubt Labour will win an overall majority. Neither will the Tories though. Not without their Cheeky Chappie / Rabble Rouser. Perhaps Bozo could go to the country as the Only I Can Save Brexit candidate? Will it work twice however 🤔

Honestly get the Scottish government to scrap their daft gender bollocks and have them run the entire country. I say that as an English person

Fuck no. Have you seen the state of pretty much everything in Scotland?

Just keep everything crossed we don't end up with Penny Mordaunt. She's an outsider but with a lot of support. If we do .. it'll be all over re self id etc. Anyone but Mordant.

Agree!

Not before time if he goes. These Covid parties were a disgrace.

He might be likeable but even he can’t bring about grid lock by striking.

I am aware of that being one of the many who can WFH. My point was the government deliberately didn't negotiate with him because they thought the public would be against him when actually he became pretty popular.

I don’t think they need to

he lost the wind in his sails when he saw he couldn’t get the carnage of days of old

out of all the strikes rail has the weakest position

Because we want massive numbers of drugs deaths and a shit education and health system?

No thanks

@user1471504747

People have their own perceptions. I don’t think Johnson is a misogynist or a racist. A lech and a lazy drunk, possibly. But anyway, let’s agree on one thing: the fat lady is singing.

I agree with that. I think Boris is lazy and not across detail and lets things slip and is chaotic and wants to be liked too much and is inconsistent and tries to wriggle out of things instead of taking responsibility. And is a faithless philanderer. But not racist nor misogynistic.

And his time is up - probably- though they cannot make him go if he chooses to brazen it out. It will take more than two to resign I think. Quite a few more.

I just hope women's rights survive all this. I am really, really sorry to loose Sajid Javid from health.

Huge difference between a by-election and the real thing.

A by election is the real thing. My money’s on a hung Parliament too, for what it’s worth.

That was just a protest vote - when it comes to an election it will be blue again.

Show quote history

Don’t count your chickens just yet - I’m ashamed to admit I voted for them last time. I will be voting Lib Dem next time and I’m never voting Tory ever again. I know I’m not the only person who feels this way.

The Tories will have lost the red wall that got them over the line last time and by the time of the next election the cost of living crisis will really have hit home / along with the harsh realities of Brexit.

Snoopymcsnoopface · 05/07/2022 19:36

This is encouraging news. Hopefully it's the end of the Dishonourable Boris Johnson.
I today emailed Mr Javid to thank him for everything he started with turning the tide on the erasure of women and our rights and to let him know that I would be proud to have him as our PM.

I sincerely hope the odeous Sunak is long gone, along with BJ, never to taint the Tories again, as he has done over the last several years with his horrendpus management of government funds in a time of crisis just to line his own and his greedy mates pockets, whilst rinsing the public dry.

Recent by elections show you’re wrong. Remind me how big the majorities were in Tiverton and North Shropshire?

Show quote history

Fair point about Tiverton/North Shropshire, Blossom, but there can be a very big difference between local and general elections

And I don't say this because I want Boris and his rabble to continue, just that I honestly believe it could easily happen

mrshoho · 05/07/2022 19:35

I'm betting on his resignation before tomorrow. They've handed him the opportunity to walk away and go on to lap up his perceived successes.

They hadn't counted on Mick Lynch being so popular though 😂.

They hoped he'd be demonised and by god their media friends tried. Unfortunately for them, the eloquent, intelligent, honest and downright likeable Mick Lynch handed them their arses on on a plate.

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.

Yes I am serious, I anticipate a snap election and he’ll win
BJ will hammer into the unions and public sector, instigate a hysteria about strikes etc. He was the BBC cowed and a huge right wing media presence
