Some non-entity junior minister - too much bloody news. Oh Ruth Edwards aide to Scotland Office.

Women's Euros start tonight, I can't watch twitter and the footie at the same time

Two tellys?

tobee · 06/07/2022 17:08

Patel has joined the welcome home committee. Shits hit the fan!

I wonder if Zahwali played a blinder here by getting in the chancellors role. It did make him stronger to support getting Johnson out. I don't think Truss would have turned.

tobee · 06/07/2022 17:11

No problem @DuncinToffee Grin

tobee · 06/07/2022 17:12

Even more excited about England v Austria now

tobee · 06/07/2022 17:12

Adrenaline

I’m hoping in their support for Boris that Truss, Raab and Rees-Mogg have fucked their own careers. Horrid people.

Now there’s a thought.

De-lurking to say I have covid and this is the only thing cheering me up - it is TOO GOOD! DFOBJ

Beth Rigby speculating he might go for voc. surely that's wild?

I have missed tennis for this. That is a HUGE thing for me.

I have never seen anything like this in all my born days and I'm old. There have been resignations but never like this... the sheer number... the brazenness, the hanging on... it's incredible

36!

Ds says 1922 committee leave it until Monday

"Patel has joined the welcome home committee. Shits hit the fan!"

Any chance Patel, Kwarteng, Trevelyan have been called in to combat Schapps etc?

cakeorwine · 06/07/2022 17:19

I think this thread will fill up fast tonight

tobee · 06/07/2022 17:20

Yep

Cheguevarahamster · 06/07/2022 17:20

I am on tenterhooks. Been trying to keep in top of the news whilst working and now I need to take the kids swimming. I bet it will kick off then!
BTW I was impressed with Starmer today at PMQs

About the latest allegations against Chris Pincher - I think Conservative MP Sarah Dines will have to go. It has been revealed she was asked the victim, when questioning him, whether he is gay and, when he said he is, she said that was 'a problem'. This was in front of witnesses. Nice bit of victim-blaming there from Miss Dines.

WaitroseWoman · 06/07/2022 17:22

she asked, not she was asked.

Igotjelly · 06/07/2022 17:22

1922 Committee won’t be changing rules. New Exec to be voted in on Monday and it will be a question for them. Essentially then he’s safe for now.

Decisionfatiguequeen · 06/07/2022 17:24

Thanks all - wonder if he's hiding from the delegation in the fridge?!

Cornettoninja · 06/07/2022 17:24

I wonder if Carrie will do the ‘leaving no. 10’ walk with him 🤔
