Thanks, Roussette.

Notonthestairs · 14/07/2022 06:56

Thanks Rousette Brew thanks for starting a new thread.

Thanks for new thread.

The only advantage of being at home recovering from surgery is I get to watch this shit show unravel.

Lonelycrab · 14/07/2022 07:33

Morning and thank for the new thread.

Another day at the circus. Only what, another seven or eight weeks to go…

guinnessguzzler · 14/07/2022 07:39

Thanks for the new thread. At least it looks like the lying bag of lies really is on his way out, let's hope we don't get stuck with another liar.

@itsgettingweird hope you are making a good recovery.

Hello again. I wonder what Cummings et al have up their sleeves to throw at Sunak’s rival Mordaunt?

She’s now got a massive target on her back, and all the blatant lying and making crap up … she’s very weird.

She is a Tory MP in the current parliament. Is it necessary to say she is very weird as well?

itsgettingweird · 14/07/2022 07:54

Thanks everyone! I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and doing really well.

I'm back to work next week (for 4 days as then we break up for summer Grin)

The Conservative party leadership election wouldn't be everyone's choice of viewing whilst recuperating Grin

I'm finding journalists/media are just parroting whatever candidates say. I appreciate that the candidates are not giving much away - it's all going on behind closed doors - but it's very frustrating.
When do the debates begin?

I think there's a live debate on Monday night on Channel 4? Should be interesting.
I am very disillusioned with the lot of them. If I had to pick one it would be Tugendhat... but I think we know he isn't going to nail it.

It will be a Sunak/Mordaunt/Truss race. If I had to pick one of those, it would be anyone but Truss. Her channelling of Thatcher is doing my 'ead in.

Thanks for the new thread.
Hope you feel better soon 'it's getting weird' it's a big op to have. Be careful
I read online that a few people thought Penny Mordaunt was Adele! I can see why , but I think she resembles a blonder Jane McDonald myself
A couple more are knocked out tonight I believe?
There is a Labour lady on sky news now with Kay who is talking sense. Not seen her before ( Denonnaire?)

Thank you for the new thread!

cakeorwine · 14/07/2022 08:32

Liz Truss seems to be claiming she is from the Red Wall area of Roundhay in Leeds...

I lived in Roundhay at the same time she did. Most definitely not a Red Wall seat - in fact quite an exclusive area of Leeds

No, you are likely to burst your stitches in anger.

BoreOfWhabylon · 14/07/2022 08:40

Morning. Thanks Roussette. It's a low bar but anyone other than Mordaunt or Badenoche as far as I'm concerned.

When is the Welsh cross-dressing slime ball stepping down, do we think?

ClaudineClare · 14/07/2022 08:51

Someone mentioned this at the end of the last thread. It is depressing but true.

Morning all and thanks Roussette Brew

L1ttledrummergirl · 14/07/2022 08:52

Morning all. Thanks for the new thread @Roussette. I've a feeling these may go on for a while yet.

It's so depressing that the majority of those candidates are so bad it's just going to be more of the same. The fact that the frontrunner broke the law while in the cabinet says it all for me. They are holding us all in contempt with their poor judgement for supporting those candidates to get on the ballot in the first place.

ClaudineClare · 14/07/2022 09:03

I am actually quite scared of some of them, they are so right wing.

DuncinToffee · 14/07/2022 09:03

Truss is launching her campaign some time today

ClaudineClare · 14/07/2022 09:16

I wonder what costume Truss will choose?

ClaudineClare · 14/07/2022 09:17

Thanks for the new thread btw @Roussette

tobee · 14/07/2022 09:21

I see Sky News app reporting that Tugendhat and Mordaunt campaigns furious with Hunt for throwing his lot in with Sunak. And Penny Mordaunt attacked over her trans stance. And Lord Frost heavily attacking her by saying he has "grave reservations" about her becoming next PM.

So who's got Lord Frost to do that? And who is it intended to benefit?

tobee · 14/07/2022 09:21

Ooh and thanks @Roussette for the new thread!
