I can't see how she can continue but who next? We need a proper Government to promote stability. It is all such a farce and Hunt coming across as competent - when he is responsible for the state of the NHS is sickening.

I was thinking re Johnson. I haven't seen anyone speculate whether he's want to return if he thought he might lose (and potentially badly) a general election.

tobee · 20/10/2022 12:12

He might be fine with that of course

tobee · 20/10/2022 12:15

I see Sky have got their resignation counter up

tobee · 20/10/2022 12:18

I mean calling for her to resign

Brady has gone in to No 10. She's done.
I'd love to know what is going on in the Tufton Street offices right now.

Lots of shredding?

Notonthestairs · 20/10/2022 12:20

For #TheWeekInTory I bookmark things as they happen, then open the bookmarks on a Friday and write. Usually there are around 100 - 120 bookmarks a week (not everything makes it).

For this week I currently have 709 bookmarks. And it's only 8am on Thursday.

Give me strength.

😁 Shredding! I bet they don't shred anything - it will all useful ammunition to use against Ministers at a later date. I bet they record everything!

Absolute shitshow

For those that enjoy a bit of Dorries..

🔥 the cross-party culture committee has just flambéed claims from former cabinet minister Nadine Dorries that Channel 4 used actors pretending to be residents in a deprived housing estate

“we do not find the origins claims (from Dorries), or the clarifications to be credible and have seen no corroboration of her claims….”

we are concerned Dorries appears to have taken an opportunity under the protection of privilege to traduce the reputation of Channel 4"

"had Dorries remained Secretary of State, driving a policy of selling the channel, we may have sought a referral to the Privileges Committee"

So Brady is in No 10 and LT getting her cards. The abysmal quality of replacement candidates is obvious. Can they shove in someone from the Lords as a temporary measure or is that a step too far? God forbid we end up with Dr Coffey gladhanding the medication.

tobee · 20/10/2022 12:32

Well apparently Truss called for Brady to take the temperature

Also Braverman positioning herself to run for pm

Igotjelly · 20/10/2022 12:34

Fuck Braverman for PM, that woman is a total snake!

Called for Brady to take the temperature? Did she really need someone else to do that for her? Can’t she feel the scorching heat from everyone around her as well as the country at large? She’s barking.

That's putting it kindly

L1ttledrummergirl · 20/10/2022 12:40

My MP is still waiting to find out if she is now an independent.

newnamethanks · 20/10/2022 12:44

Braverman? Impossible, surely?

We need a laugh, Matt Green on Chaos in Parliament

Beth Rigby

Senior party source tells me they understand any change of rules to impose a candidate or change thresholds for nominations wld need to go to the party board so it’s not clear cut. Source reckons Truss PINO [PM in name only] until that’s sorted.

“…and Hey Duggee has released a very catchy song, calling for armed revolution”

😂😂😂

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2022 13:09

I'm sure they could change the rules if they wanted to ! They just don't want to because there would be a GE maybe?
Which they don't want

DuncinToffee · 20/10/2022 13:18

Downing Street statement at 13.30

🍿

Notonthestairs · 20/10/2022 13:20

Technically does she need to speak to the King before she resigns?

You'd think I'd remember from last time but I can barely remember last week.

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2022 13:24

I'm
Not sure about the King visit !
She'll have to see him at some stage I guess

DuncinToffee · 20/10/2022 13:24

Can't remember what happened with Johnson.
