I hope so @RedToothBrush he's a dangerous man who's caused so much upset and devastation.

SnottyLottie · 07/07/2022 09:45

He’s going to resign, apparently.

wont believe until I see it!

while I do agree with this to a large extent, I hope the Tory voters don’t conveniently pin all the blame on him. It’s the Tories as a whole who have brought this country to the shit show level it’s at.

Adam Boulton on sky saying that it is within the tory party constitutional ability to remove johnson immediately and install another caretaker manager.

Don't get me wrong they're all rotten I couldn't name one single one who's decent.

Ewwww, anyone else watched Steve Baker on the BBC?

He has thrown his hat in to be the next PM.
But he said
"The people of this country are Tories even if they vote Labour”

Delusional fucknugget.
You can call me a looney lefty. You can call me woke. You can even call me a cunt, if you must.
But never, ever, ever call me a fucking Tory.

Ld leader

Ed Davey at edwardjdavey
The idea that the Conservatives might make Boris Johnson caretaker for anything is frankly ludicrous.

The man’s never taken care of anything in his life.

Sky talking about the Conservative Party now will be considering reputational damage limitation.

Which is very true. The Party is now looking after the Party. They will not want to continuation of the Boris Johnson Show.

RedToothBrush · 07/07/2022 09:54

Steve Baker would be a dire option for the country. As in one of the worst candidates. And thats in a competitive field.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 07/07/2022 10:00

I just don't see how he can expect to command any sort of government over the summer. Or has he got weeks at luxury villas booked that are under threat if he's not PM.
How long will Carrie hang on now I wonder?

Come on Boris pack your bags Pickford's are waiting. Even the cat's left.

’Delusional fucknugget.’

True.

I was amused by whoever it was earlier talking on College Green about wanting a One-Nation Tory; a leader who respects the rule of law. It’s refreshingly honest to admit that buying into the concept that underpins civilisation is aspirational when you’re looking for a Conservative leader.

Agreed. Steve Baker is about as far right as it gets in the Conservative Party and is vociferously against (among other things) green policies. He's not very keen on women or human rights, either.

God knows there's not a great selection to choose from, but I would genuinely have Larry the cat leading the country than Baker.

You're speaking facts 😁

I'm amused when Tory MPs proudly annouce they volunteer or have opened a food bank.
My brain can't handle it
"Hang on.....isn't it your job......WTF.......why are you proud.....surely this isn't a good thing......I'm confused"

Treaclex69 · 07/07/2022 11:14

See lots of posts on Twitter for a 7pm door clapping session to see him off

minou123 · 07/07/2022 11:22

See, I think the clapping thing is not a good idea. They will spin it to make it look like we are applauding him - as in supporting him.

I think it'll be better if we all chant "Off you fuck"..
Can't spin that.

Words caught up with him 12 years after writing this little gem 🤣
