Trussterfuck is amazing! Grin

And here we find ourselves with an anti-education government to tackle the anti-growth. Just when you think they’ve hit peak arsehole they bend over a bit further.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So truss is now best buddies with Macron who is going to sort the channel crossing debarcle. The one they've taken money to sort and done fuck all about.

Wonder what's changed 🤔

Thanks Duncin!

Conor Burns dismissed from government - Breaking News. Serious misconduct.

the80sweregreat · 07/10/2022 16:40

Bournemouth west by ejection then ? Maybe ?
How does this work ? Will they have to wait ?

the80sweregreat · 07/10/2022 16:40

Election ,

Piggywaspushed · 07/10/2022 16:44

I prefer ejection.

Blimey. Well at least she's recognised the Government should act quickly in cases of misconduct.

Wasn't Burns reprimanded for misconduct previously?

the80sweregreat · 07/10/2022 16:55

Fair play, that's good
Boris Johnson would have held off for a few days I bet !

tobee · 07/10/2022 16:55

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee

Wasn't Conor Burns big buddy with Johnson? Can't remember his story. (So many to remember)

Notonthestairs · 07/10/2022 16:58

Yes Burns was closely allied to Johnson, he was Johnson's PPS.

They need EU to cooperate on energy perhaps 🤔

Thx Duncin LOVE thread title!

WTAF Conor Burns? He has form and was sacked in 2020 for writing threatening letters on official notepaper to a constituent.
Truss re appoints him. Sacked again inappropriate behaviour

"He has form and was sacked in 2020 for writing threatening letters on official notepaper to a constituent.

Johnson reappointed him last year. But he was kept on when Truss was elected.

tobee · 07/10/2022 18:13

Good old Johnson and his loyalty! 👍

Yes, knew it was something like that!

DuncinToffee · 07/10/2022 18:37

Yay for everyone liking Trussterfuck, it just was too good to not use it Grin

Conor Burns is of the 'ambushed by a cake' defence and allegedly knew about Boris and Carrie's office shenanigans

I seem to think it was Burns whispering in Johnson's ear just before he suggested Starmer had deliberately avoided prosecuting Savile.

ClaudineClare · 07/10/2022 19:15

Well, well. More sleaze.

Cornettoninja · 07/10/2022 20:45

I feel like this is an appropriate time to be reminded of the leaked whips list

Intriguing tweet from Melanie Brown. She was at a conference fringe event to speak about domestic abuse.

😮
And we're talking inappropriate behaviour...

the80sweregreat · 08/10/2022 05:56

Politicians and sleaze (and worse ) for some reason this particular profession has always attracted the worst type of person over the years.
I think it's the power trip they go on. They start to feel they are invincible somehow ?
