Big Dog - Going, going, not quite gone. Thread 14.

Will it be Continuity Truss or "Socialist" Sunak in charge?

I’ve ceased to be surprised by anything they do, let alone shocked. When they kicked off their term by proroguing parliament and booting 19 of their sanest MPs out of the party they hit my shock threshold. Nothing they do now has much effect on me. Arrogant bunch of born to rule bastards.

My only hope now is they will continue to tear themselves apart.

Yes I suppose it's not a surprise. Of course they'd waste time selecting a candidate that will be blocked whilst there are only a few days of Parliament before Conference Recess. It's not like they should be getting on with anything.

Argh.

Dorries has resigned.

Badenoch in Culture?

Nadine Dorries has turned down Culture Secretary - she's going to backbenches

Penny Mordaunt linked to role but still tbc

Kemi Badenoch –> Trade

Anne-Marie Trevelyan –> Transport

Educaton/ NI Sec/ Leader of Commons still up in air

Small relief to see the back of Patel and Dorries although their replacements aren't much to celebrate. Still, 2 down. Bye ladies, it's been, different. Don't rush back.

Dorries is heading to the HOL

By-election coming up in her constituency

No, she's worse, because she's thicker.

Who is getting to become the education minister ?

How long before Boris Johnson starts on Ms Truss ? I give till next week!

So glad to see the back of Dorries, I knew more about her job than she did, she was very ignorant. And cow eyes at BJ was nauseating. At least Channel4 will be safe for now. Both Sunak and Truss said they had no plans for it.
She's gone off to write more puerile books and may well lose her seat in time

Nadine Dorries will probably pen another novel about unrequited love for a Prime minister , but not based on her own life of course.

It is a relief.

Also is showing how much they totally supported Johnson and how much their really is a split down the middle of the party right now as the votes showed.

Oh god, we've got another Johnson farewell speech again. I thought he did that. Will Dorries start weeping? She's just walked out with Rachel Johnson.

I dread to think what he'll say.

She achieved 59.8% of the vote in 2019. With significant numbers voting both Labour and Lib Dem. If there is a by-election, will the good people of mid Bedfordshire swing behind one of them?

Nadine Dorried looked like she was about to cry while she was waiting for Johnson to come down.

The nauseating thing is that Dorries will draw her minister's pension plus pocketing House of Lords allowances for continuing to do fuck all that's of any use to anyone. No doubt she'll be on Strictly next year.

Ye gods. Johnson lies lies and lies again. 40 new hospitals by the end of 2030? 14,000 new police officers (so we are now down 6,000 as they got rid of 20,000).
Usual stuff.
He is calling himself a booster rocket. It's like an open mic moment at the local comedy club

Well this is a load of self serving twisted crap.

We can all sell a line. The thing that worries me is the people who buy it.

"This is it folks… I’ll soon be passing on the baton in what has unexpectedly become a relay race. They changed the rules half way through, but never mind that now.”

You'd never think he'd agitated to get rid of Theresa May would you?

They changed the rules half way through

no love, lying and breaking the law has always been frowned on.. talk about victim mentality.

He is a victim.

Of his own horrific ego.

Well if it wasn't for those pesky woke lefties and Corbyn with their cake ambush, Johnson would be world king.

Now he just has to hope that Truss tends the pot plants in his absence.
