Suella's coup is going well

from SKy News

As we reported earlier, the New Conservatives grouping of right-wing Tory MPs is meeting this evening to discuss how they intend to respond to Suella Braverman's sacking.
But according to our chief political correspondent Jon Craig, who is in parliament outside the room where the group is convening, fewer than 10 MPs have turned up.
They include deputy Tory party chair Lee Anderson, as well as backbenchers Miriam Cates, Tom Hunt and Simon Clarke.
One person there has told Jon more have joined virtually on Zoom.

I hope he's got a glass handy and is listening intently

Esther McVey has fabulous hair.

There is literally nothing democratic about our society and political system right now.

Maybe her hair could become PM? Probably be more effective than Rishi!

Hahahahahahaha McVey as common sense tsar. Someone’s been at the House of Commons coke stash haven’t they.

So who was thinking 12 short hours ago that David Cameron would be front page news?

Dave the solution to all our woes.

It just beggars belief.

Didn’t they try that with Boris?

This week’s first week in Tory is out. I’m sure there will be more this week.

Rishi Sunak is reshuffling his cabinet - here are the moves so far:

In:

• James Cleverly appointed home secretary
• David Cameron appointed foreign secretary
• Steve Barclay appointed environment secretary
• Richard Holden appointed Conservative Party chairman
• Victoria Atkins appointed health secretary
• Laura Trott appointed chief secretary to the treasury
• John Glen appointed paymaster general
• Greg Hands appointed business and trade minister
• Lee Rowley appointed housing minister
• Esther McVey appointed cabinet office minister without portfolio

Out:

• Suella Braverman sacked as home secretary
• Nick Gibb quits as education minister
• Neil O'Brien quits as levelling up minister
• Will Quince quits as health minister
• Jesse Norman quits as transport minister
• Rachel Maclean sacked as housing minister
• Therese Coffey quits as environment secretary
• Jeremy Quin quits as paymaster general
• George Freeman resigns as science minister
• Paul Scully sacked as technology minister
• Steve Double quits as lord commissioner of the Treasury

Is this a night of the long blunt knives?

Whatever can you mean Duncin? Suella is massively popular, and people are begging for her to return to office and lead the Party. I'm sure that's what the Daily Mail said. And with 30pLee on side too, what more could she need?

Sorry, I forgot about the shy new Tories, the silent majority......

I want to hear how the chosen Tory on breakfast news spins the Minister of Commonsense anti woke appointment. Should be a laugh

Have they appointed the Minister for Silly Walks yet or have I missed that?

I seriously hope he’s to do every single Bushtucker Trial. All of them.

Oh. Just realised that I can vote for Farage to suffer the trials. I dont watch it but that would be worth it. Every one, every time. If that's possible. Money well spent.

Is it though, or is he best ignored?

He won’t be ignored.

He will be ignored by me, never watched or voted for Hancock either.

Any chance of doing a thread reader on it and copying it here? I came off X because it’s too toxic.

I should have linked to that instead it’s easier to read anyway

I can't stop laughing at the appointment of a Minister for Common Sense.

Monty Python were ahead of their time.

I can't believe they've brought Andrea Leadsom back 😲

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Like that woman would care a jot about social care

Dear oh dear

This has come from Robert Peston but she has written a long letter VONC that I have read. Is this to shut her up?

Farage won't necessarily do all the trials. It'll depend on how he handles them. Hancock got voted to do them to begin with, but viewers quickly realised he enjoyed doing them so stopped voting for him.

The best approach to Farage on IAC is just not to watch it. He wants the attention.
