Here we are.

No.

The fact that some of us here would prefer Sunak means it's less like to happen. I'm not sure we're in tune with the majority of members.

Vote winner?

One of Liz Truss’ biggest achievements in government is ‘reintroducing beavers,’ according to Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey.

Dorries can trash Ch 4, the BBC and God knows what else if she's left in situ.

On the flip side whoever they put in place will be similarly motivated by Murdoch, Barclay, Dacre and pals and she provides endless amusement so swings and roundabouts.

Yesterday's news I know but confirmation (if we needed it) of the dogged refusal of the Met to fully investigate. Given Johnson's confidence he'd only receive one FPN it is pretty clear a back room deal was struck. Corruption. No wonder he's desperate to appoint Hogan Howe before he leaves office - someone has to keep a lid on it.

I did read ( might have been in the guardian? ) that RS wants to sell off Channel 4 too.

What will Sunak and Truss say about it tonight.

Why won't they just stop bloody lying. Honest to god, it's reaching the point where my laptop is danger of being smashed to smithereens.

Liz Truss was NOT the first person to reintroduce beavers to the UK FFS. Why lie about easily verifiable stuff. They really do think were fucking stupid.

Beavers were reintroduced to the UK in 2009. Liz Truss hadn't even been elected as an MP at the point. It's straight out of the Johnson school of governing, take all the credit for things other people have done while doing fuck all yourself.

I wonder what Liz Truss thinks of Nadine Dorries' comments?

Is anyone watching them on BBC1 tonight 9pm?

You know that Friend Of A Friend on a night out? The one who gets louder and louder and embarrasses the fuck out of you?
She probably feels like that.

I'll tune in tonight even though I am not one of the ones who will be able to vote
Lol at Nadine Dorries being the loud friend on the night out ! There is always one.
She's loyal though to her friends though , I'll give her that. I doubt it's reciprocated in that job and environment though.

No

One of Liz Truss’ biggest achievements in government is ‘reintroducing beavers,’ according to Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey.

Therese Coffey is a nincompoop. I’ve honestly never heard her say anything sensible.

Is Therese Coffey a Tory MP?

I am just wondering if it might be quicker to list the Tory MPs who are not nincompoops.

Tobias Ellwood. End of .. as Brexiteers like to say.

Hoping to but promised the dc that I'll play a board game. We plan to pause it if we are still playing.

The Telegraph is campaigning to put Johnson back on the ballot, what next, storming tge HoP ?

NEW: Boris Johnson would “wipe away everything that stops me being PM in a second” @christopherhope reports.

Lots of Tory MPs very uneasy about the rumblings around him wanting to stay on.

Boris is going to wipe away his incompetence, laziness and lying?

Cos it is that which is stopping him being PM

It's an interesting question: if Mr Johnson stopped being a lying bag of lies, would he still be Mr Johnson?

Is Liz truss wearing the nice earrings tonight ?

Oh good grief. Liz Truss has padded power shoulders on. Not sure that bodes well....

They are both grinning a lot

.

Well, that Lady is for Gurning.

I don't really know what to say! But just checking in to say I'm here and I'm watching! 😳
