The one where Big Dog is still here, and the race to be the new Top Dog. Thread 11

[Roussette]

Here is the old thread... let's keep on top of what's going on!

But it does look much more likely that it will be Sunak v Truss.

This is exactly the sort of stunt that these people pull.

"I don’t want to worry you, but it is theoretically possible for tomorrow’s supposedly final heat of the Tory leadership contest to be a dead heat. Since with Ellwood expelled, there are 357 voters and Sunak, Mordaunt and Truss could each get 119. Goodness knows what happens then"

Ellwood is a hapless, wet drip far better suited to the opposition benches so lets hope he does cross the floor. Good on BJ for doing wbat he did, making a stand to the weasel.

'They’re all utterly grotesque, but some are infinitesimally less grotesque than others.'

None of the candidates are 'grotesque'. Not ideal, no. Not to worry BJ might be back in the future you mustn't lose hope!

Rishi Sunak might come unstuck with the Tory voters. He'll be seen as the enemy by a few of them.
Liz Truss will be terrible for the economy though , she's been warned , but probably won't listen unless she appoints a decent chancellor who can make her see some sense regarding more borrowing and tax cuts.

Why is Ellwood a wet drip?

Was he a wet drip when he held BJ to task in the Select Committe about cuts to the defence budget and J's assertion that tanks and boots on the ground will never be needed in Europe again? Prior to Ukraine. Well done BJ

Was he a drip when he gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to a wounded police officer?

Interesting who you think is a drip.

Good on BJ for doing wbat he did, making a stand to the weasel

Why hasn't he removed the whip of the other 9 then?
TE was in Moldova working. Rather alien to BJ I know.

Why is Elwood a wet drip weasel Janiie?

I would love to know that.

Don't hold your breath for an answer Roussette

You are so right @JaniieJones

It is utterly shocking that Ellwood would go on an official visit to a country part of which has been occupied by Russia. We all know that this is not acceptable. Boris and his cronies are paid for by Russia and we cannot have members of the governing party upsetting Russia in this way.

Lol

i can’t decide if you or jgw1 are better at this 🤔

Because he can has some moral integrity. A concept very alien to Johnson and those who support him.

Wet weasels lose the whip and sexual predators keep it. That tells you everything you need to know about 2022 Tories.

Oh yes. You've nailed it there. Who wants a man who can perform emergency mouth to mouth at the drop of a hat, and who travels to war torn places, when you can teach him a lesson for questioning you in a Select Committee, and making you look like the ignoramus you are.
Besides which, you've got 'stuff' to do like swanning about in a jet fighter like Maverick's unfit older brother MassivePrick.

it's no. 30 on your bucket list before the gravy train stops for you in 5 weeks.

It will be Rishi Sunak, It was always going to be Rishi Sunak, just what I believe. If there are any decent Tories left, please leave the party and stand as Independents as it is looking more and more likely that Mr ex PM Johnson will wreak havoc on our Democracy and then what is left? Democracy is still the least worst option we have. Once the Tories have been voted out at the next GE we need voting to be made compulsory and proportional representation.

'Wet weasels lose the whip and sexual predators keep it'

Pincher kept the whip? www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/01/chris-pincher-loses-tory-whip-over-misconduct-allegations-conservative-mp

'It will be Rishi Sunak, It was always going to be Rishi Sunak'

It will be yes. Cummings will be back in like a rat up a drainpipe.

It isn't really an implication though is it?

We've all heard what she has to say!

I dont think that's the point though is it? It is temporarily suspended.

In the midst of a Leadership election and a VONC, you fail to return from abroad whilst in Moldova working to vote and you lose the Whip.
If you are a sex pest or even an alleged rapist it takes days to make the same decision

@JaniieJones, have you ever thought of doing stand-up comedy? You should think about it, you certainly make me laugh 😉

It is kind of you to compare me to the master @JaniieJones. I have learnt much from them.

It is important to remember that the Tory party are both the party of family values and law and order.

Ellwood is a hapless, wet drip

Oh really?
