Thread 41 How many more MPs will Sunak lose?

[BIossomtoes]

New thread. I took the liberty - the old one was at 999!

Christ, that didn’t occur to me. How dare they?

At least the King did appear to support them this time.

Dogwhistle politics. They are all in on the Anderson strategy imo

That's a disgrace to the memory of the suffragettes

I suspect the subtext is that the suffragettes fought for the right to vote Tory.

It is, isn’t it? I’m livid now it’s been pointed out to me. And cross with myself for not noticing.

You aren't hanging around on FWR checking out the "Let women speak" events etc.

It grinds my gears that the colours have been co-opted. Not least because I have a lovely suffragette necklace and now I think people will think I believe things I don't

They won’t. I plant my garden in purple and white every summer, nobody would ever suspect me of being a Tory.

Plenty of the suffragettes, I'm afraid to say, were pretty awful women with pretty abhorrent views.

But , yes also to the belief that we can be confident of what they would think on modern issues. Not all the same as each other for definite.

The bolloxometer is in the red 😂

Trade envoy to Columbia please reassure me that's a joke.

Thought we weren’t allowed to used the word bollocks? Are we now?

Btw, your average Tory voter (I’m not in that group, believe it or not) won’t notice any relevance of the suffragette colours.

Your thread is fantastic, although I did have to take a break for a while.

I know lion. It's to subconsciously look friendly to people who already have a positive association to the colours and feel part of the tribe.
Very good marketing. But NAfeministsALT. So some of us notice.

It's a quote from the article. I suggest you read it. John Crace is funny, yesterdays was good too.

Its higher status than trade envoy to Mongolia which is what my MP is.
No really.

I wish I was married to John Crace. 💕

Fortuitous! Break the trade barriers

Dear god its true. Are they buying it in bulk at Westminster then? Not the coffee.

Oh maybe. I hadn’t thought about giving their marketing folk that much credit.

Oh? He used the word bollocks? And it’s ok in this case?

Anything John Crace writes is acceptable. Wanted and admired in fact.

Columbia is our 73rd largest trading partner (0.1% of total trade). I wonder how much of that is directed to Westminster.

I might have to join the queue for Crace.
