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

994 replies

In the voice of Cpl Jones.

"Don't panic Capt Sunak"

"Hold your nerve"

"They don't like it up em".

Yes. And that’s bloody rich given the number of his MPs currently under investigation for alleged sexual crimes.

Odds on Sunak being mysterious absent when it comes to voting on Pincher's suspension?

Caroline Lucus - "Once again this has become an opportunity for many on the right to have a go at the BBC... like 30p Lee Anderson saying the BBC is a safe haven for perverts.. this is such a distraction from some very big issues we ought to be discussing."

I suppose a Tory MP would be well qualified to recognise a safe haven for perverts when he saw one.

Sunak is hosting a BBQ for all Tory MP's on Wednesday to boost their morale ahead of the July 20th by-elctions.

Here is to rain and thunder Cake

The nice thing is after the next general election such events will need far fewer burgers.

Blossomtoes · 11/07/2023 13:51

Boosting their morale isn’t going to stop them getting trounced next week.

Efacsen · 11/07/2023 13:52

Carrie Johnson has had a baby

jgw1 · 11/07/2023 13:52

Next week's trouncing will though boost lots of people's morale.

Will we have the CCHQ interns in, or will they remain in the fridge with Sunak?

How many more children is Johnson going to have??

Is this 8 or 9?

No idea. He doesn’t seem to know either.

Great fun at work today.

Some staff decided to announce they liked Johnson and Hancock.

Most people couldn't understand why and were happy to point out exactly why they were universally disliked.

Only defence from staff who wishes he'd come back.

Oh he's funny and most importantly - they don't actually follow politics. 🙄

There is apparently a superinjunction on Charlotte Owen's parentage, so who knows

Surely some Tory donor or other would have happily taken the money to put in an offshore tax haven?

Notonthestairs · 12/07/2023 09:11

"It has also given back £245m meant for improving building safety after the Grenfell fire"

Eh? Are tower blocks cladding all fixed now? Nobody is living at risk?
