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!

What an absolute shit show, we are now entering the "Stop Sunak", "Stop Truss" and "Stop Mordaunt" phase of he leadership elections.

Cabinet minister Simon Clarke on @Tobias_Ellwood's revenge whip withdrawal: "There are very pressing reasons often why colleagues cannot be there", but a bomb threat at your war zone departure airport and a melting runway at your UK Return airport, are NOT among them. 😬~AA

Best for Britain

Oh calm down Roussette with your 'FFS'.

Well that’s you told.

Did he really say that? He got into a real mess on the Today programme this morning. He was eviscerated.

Did anyone else read that in Gove's voice

I'm quaking in my boots I can tell yer

Roughly what time was that @Blossomtoes? I'd like to have a listen.

It was the last 20 minutes or so. It was very funny.

😁

I like to be consistent with my outrage

…and yet you’re not. You were gunning for KS to get a FPN even though your stance was that BJ shouldn’t have (to anticipate - yes they were both fairly innocuous events outside pandemic restrictions but they each took place at different levels of restrictions making BJ’s illegal and KS’s not).

if your interests were about fairness and balance surely your stance should have been neither should be fined.

As it goes, the police took the actual law at each time into consideration rather than the intention of either individual.

@Cornettoninja I think the poster you refer to is consistent. Consistent in their defence of Big Dog no matter where it poos.

Fair point

God almighty. He's just finished PMQ's with Hasta la vista, baby and left to rapturous applause from the Tory benches.

-…and yet you’re not. You were gunning for KS to get a FPN even though your stance was that BJ shouldn’t have'

My point was they either both should have or shouldn't have. Eating and drinking at work was either breaking the rulez or it wasn't. Consistency.

Ah wasn't my 'hero' (who I've got the hots for as I'm his number one fangirl) magnificent in PMQs!! Keith can't carry off humour at all and those bulldog chewing wasps SNP crew well, I've no idea why Hoyle let's them all have so much airtime they just all repeat each other.

JaniieJones Just get it in your head , at the time Starmer and his colleagues stopped to eat , at ten o' clock, after campaigning for the Hartlepool by ection, the law was not broken. They then carried on working. At the time Johnson was partying in Westminster, the law was broken.

I really don't understand this churlishness. You've got your wish BJ's gone

"He's just finished PMQ's with Hasta la vista, baby and left to rapturous applause from the Tory benches.'

Yes. As I said magnificent. Does beg the question why they got rid of him, we can only hope Penny, Rishi or Liz can keep Cummings and the msm on side.

I quite liked Sir Keith is 'a great pointless human bollard' comment

Janiie your goading with the silly nicknames is getting seriously tedious now. It's so childish.

Still here! Still despairing!

I absolutely cannot bear Truss, I really think that she would be the worst of all worlds. I then did also think, if she got in, would she give Johnson 'a big Cabinet job' surely not? I think he'll try to sidle away at the earliest possible opportunity.

Twitter seems to think that there has been a late surge for Mordaunt today. Let's see.

'your goading with the silly nicknames is getting seriously tedious now. It's so childish.'

Bozo? Nads?

I am absolutely delighted I won't be seeing BJs face and hear his lies on the front bench at the Despatch box again

Something to rejoice about whoever takes over

(Cue the comments about how much you'll miss him when he's gone, and in months ahead...being told you wanted him gone, it's your fault Truss/Sunak/Mordaunt is not doing so well, he wouldve done soooo much better.)

I, for one, am relieved to see the back of him in the HoC

I have never ever used those words.
BJ (his initials) and Dorries

'ahead...being told you wanted him gone, it's your fault Truss/Sunak/Mordaunt is not doing so well, he wouldve done soooo much better'

I'll start. You wanted him gone, I'm sure <> Liz, Truss or Mordaunt will do soooo much better. If not we'll have a pointless human bollard running the show in 2024.

Election

Or Rishi even
