Raab standing down at the next election. Not very surprising given his majority.

Did not have him on my list for secret Tory. 😂

Raab is secretly a Tory and not just a playground thug?

Roussette · 23/05/2023 06:41

That thread is amusing in that it is 95% the same as we think.
I couldn't resist......

Raab standing down, poor chap 😂🤣😅👍

Secret Tory has confirmed that they are not Dominic Raab. I am almost disappointed.

I’m thinking roger gale but I’ve no idea. If he turns out not to be a Tory MP when he announces next week I’m going to be disappointed.

It'll need to be a big squirrel to distract from the inflation figures.

RafaistheKingofClay · 23/05/2023 08:50

Do you mean inflation isn’t halving? There goes another one of Rishi’s 5 priorities.

What about immigration numbers, are they out today too?

Thursday I think.

Just checked what the 5 priorities are. It’s not going well so far.

Another one standing down at the next election, Philip Dunne MP for Ludlow.

I don't know anything about him but the number of Tory MP's standing down is creeping up.

Dunne is a reasonable constituency MP and doesn't have as many loony views as many of the current Tory MPs. Quietly gets on with doing a reasonable job, was I would have thought likely to be re-elected next time.

Clearly unsuited to the current government then

Certainly a stark contrast to his neighbouring MP #dklemon, MP for Riyadh and Moscow.

Matt Green being painfully accurate about government scandals.

Only just watched this! Very funny and alarmingly accurate.

It just doesn't stop.

It also makes you wonder if they do any background checks.

Apparently Sunak said, if I want to be prime minister I have to have 'fucking Suella' podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vdGhlLW5ld3MtYWdlbnRzLw/episode/YjM3YjJmMjYtYTBlNy00YzBjLTkwMzAtM2ZlZTZlZjNmYWRj?ep=14
