Thread 27 - Sunak : the Ship is Sinking, Hold Your Nerve!

[DuncinToffee]

In the voice of Cpl Jones.

"Don't panic Capt Sunak"

"Hold your nerve"

"They don't like it up em".

We have a choice between extremely bad alternative outcomes

They will probably say 'boring', just like their hero himself who pretended to snore when asked about it in an interview today (I have put a link on the johnson thread)

Wow!

I'd love to hear, @Piggywaspushed

I shall peep at Scotsnet but I imagine the clues lie there!

Wow

We’ve really struggled to get Tory MP to come on #Newsnight to talk about allegations of sexual misconduct around HoC. Offer still open. One female tory MP messaged to say:

Tone deaf

The event was arranged by the Conservative Friends of the NHS group, which says it represents "enduring values shared between the NHS and the Conservative Party
.

That's awful

Who the hell thought a £150 a head lunch was a good idea? It’s almost as if they’re intent on pissing us all off.

Shall we just post this each time we are told that at least they know what a woman is?

I think we’re duty bound to.

The Standards Committee recommends an 8 week suspension of Chris Pincher for "completely inappropriate" and "profoundly damaging" behaviour which was "an abuse of power"

So yet another by election and another Tory seat bites the dust.

I quite honestly cannot keep track of these any more.

Yes. Groping is a very common tory word now.

Although Tamworth, Pincher's seat, was Labour in 1997, Chris Pincher had a majority of nearly 20,000 in 2019. Second place was the Labour candidate. Pincher has held the seat since 2010, when he beat sitting Labour MP Brian Jenkins by over 6,000. Pincher has increased his majority each time he's contested the seat.

Wasn’t Owen Patterson’s majority about 23,000? It’s LibDem now.

Was it patterson’s or tractor porn guy’s seat? That’s Lib Dem now too.

Owen Paterson's majority was 22,949 in 2019.

New MP, LibDem Helen Morgan, has a majority of 5,925

By elections are interesting.

Thanks tobee. Wow a swing of nearly 29,000! That’s even better than I realised. I hope she’s working her arse off to make sure she keeps that seat.

Neil Parish had a majority of 24,239 in 2019. LibDem Richard Foord now has a majority of 6,144. The seat is Tiverton and Honiton:-

Patterson's majority was a few votes under 23,000 in 2019.

I live in a neighbouring consitutency. She appears to be a hard working and well like constituency MP. Which is contrast to my MP who wants to represent Riyadh and Moscow in parliament.

Icymi: Immigration minister Robert Jenrick has been rebuked by the statistics watchdog for misleading parliament over the number of foreign criminals who have been referred for help as suspected modern slaves.

Lies, lies and more lies. What is wrong with them?

NEW: The government will find out TODAY at 2:30pm whether it has won or lost its legal challenge against the Covid 19 inquiry

Boris Johnson himself is backing Lady Hallett, rejecting Rishi Sunak's argument that the messages are irrelevant

What’s wrong with them is that they wouldn’t recognise the truth if it hit them over the head. The default is lying.
