I wonder if Braverman is about to defect.....

Nadine Dorries claiming to have heard rumours over the weekend “that Sunak’s about to fall on his sword”

And

It comes as Labour is set for a majority of 416, leaving the Tories at just 37 seats, according to a new Deltapoll survey.

That is a terrible thing to say @dontcallmelen ! Do you want to give us all nightmares!😱😱😱

Good that Labour is last, I think. Gives time for last minute tweaks.

Geoff Norcott made a waterline holing point on The News Quiz about the flurry pa parents who will have to pull their children out of private schools due to VAT ... that they will suddenly be a years worth per child of frees better off. Which isn't chump change.

It did rather reframe the situation a little bit.

@DuncinToffee theory - hear me out - but given Richard Holden thinks the private school VAT thing is an important attack line he must have been hanging out on MN which is the only place in the world which gives a shit about this. Richard Holden = Clav?

It also stops the Tories nicking too much.

She is busy attacking Starmer so probably a different poster for PS, there are a few to choose from

Esther McVey getting laughed at

It wouldn't be at all surprising if Braverman defected to Reform, but I guess it probably depends where she sees her best chance of getting into a position of power.

Advantage of being a reform candidate is you can't be deselected by anyone but Farage.

New EU Parliament projection, not much different than before. Nordic countries moving left, France, Germany and Italy moving right.

Now there’s an interesting theory.

Um, be careful everyone. There may be fingers hovering over the report button...

Hopefully they would be past the child producing stage of life 😱

I am just reading your thread about Labour's 80 new rape courts pledge Cassie, I don't know how you manage to stay calm

Thank you. I get nice PMs sometimes, it keeps me going. Also the threat of the naughty step 😂

Did anyone hear Robert Buckland when he was asked about the Farage embracement proposition?

SLAMMED Farage as a very European type of populist (Poujadist). "We are a broad church not an Amazon warehouse"

Maybe Clav is Richard Holden!

Oops didn't realise there was a whole other page on this thread already!

No Reform manifesto? Is that because they don't have any policies?

Top trolling there !

Nadine Dorries claiming to have heard rumours over the weekend “that Sunak’s about to fall on his sword”

Has Nads been following the thread of this title on MN, maybe?

Nadine Dorries a reliable narrator ?

I give you

I think they are announcing something today

BREAKING: Douglas Ross is to resign as leader of the Scottish Conservatives
