I hope James Daly gets charged with wasting police time when the police draw a blank.

She definitely needs to keep associating with the Far Right and putting off centrist Tory voters. Bravo, Suella! Keep up the good work!

4 years ago Tory MPs were disciplined for speaking at the same event -

"When Kawczynski attended a similar event, the party did not remove the whip but did give him a formal warning that his attendance “was not acceptable, particularly in light of the views of some of those in attendance, which we utterly condemn, and that he is expected to hold himself to higher standards”.

The difference now isn't that the politics has shifted further to the right.
It's that Sunak has zero party discipline. He can't reprimand Braverman (as I am sure she would like to be) because it will stir up the nutters.

Please can we go with fuckity fuck off for our next thread title?

Notonthestairs · 13/04/2024 12:13

There are no rules about swear words in titles is there? Posters are free to post equally sweary threads about other political parties.

And I doubt anyone could argue it's "not in the spirit of MN" - I've just read a post calling Barbara the gardener a cunt, so it's not like we aren't free with a good swear.

I'm just trying to work out why it might be reported.

The least we can do, I feel.

The fuckwits in FB keep encouraging her to be more RW.

She sees, to think it's what people want.

Instead she's just becoming more of a nasty piece of work than she always was before.

If you surround yourself with people with similar opinions, you can lose sight of what most people actually think - which is probably what happens to a lot of politicians.

Also, Sunak can't reprimand her (or anyone else for that matter) because he is totally incapable. Absolute zero leadership skills.

Is the risk more it will attract attention to our otherwise gentle thread?

I think there may be a deluge this weekend. It'll be masked by the Rayner story.

tobee · 13/04/2024 18:47

lol at reading reports about the Liz Truss book. The bit that struck me about her reaction to the Queen's death "Why me? Why now?". Does come across as incredibly self involved to include.

tobee · 13/04/2024 18:47

Fits though with my perception.

It's a sociopath's response. No self awareness whatsoever.

I think it's just that there are some report happy people on MN and they don't care for these threads.

Yes, totally. Best not to risk it.

itsgettingweird · 13/04/2024 21:45

How about something back to the ship and rats?

More rats jump Sunaks ship (and they can't get planes 🤣)

pointythings · 13/04/2024 21:51

Sunak: Still going down with the ship

L1ttledrummergirl · 13/04/2024 22:16

Excellent. The world is going to hell in a handcraft, and we have to rely on Sunak to get us through.

We are fucked. I hope cobra is well stocked, although as it's a weekend, I doubt it will see any use tomorrow...Confused

Zonder · 13/04/2024 22:44

Sunak aka Billy No Mates (as everyone is jumping ship?)
