Dear Lord above, I've seen people removed and banned from pubs for less. She's the Home Secretary. What have we come to?

Good for Chris Bryant getting some of the details of the farce and the bullying behaviour entered into Hansard. Physical manhandling apparently, pushing MPs into the Noe Lobby. Ffs.

Prob not happy there are no jackboots or concentration camps

hesbeingabitofadick · 19/10/2022 19:37

Kwazi didn't vote.
Boris is on holiday.
Priti Patel and Liz Truss didn't either, nor Chief Whip.

I’m currently watching ‘Make me a Prime Minister’ but really, what’s actually happening in front of our very eyes is just so crazy you would barely believe it, either on a reality TV show, or in a dramatisation. Just WTF is going on?!

If times weren't so difficult for most people, this would be so entertaining. Well actually it is.

Will they all be given Beta Blockers and everything will be alright tomorrow again?

GE unlikely before the Tories sew up the consituency boundaries anyway. Truss must have hide like a rhino.

I believe the Deputy exited the lobby yelling “I am fucking furious and I don’t give a fuck anymore.”

True story!

this is a crazy situation.

the Tories are like a sack of rats biting one another.

people being manhandled into the chamber. bon-kerzzzzzzz

Boris - strong and stable .....

40 Tories voted against the government. No wonder there was a massive climb down on the no-confidence - SNP didn't bother apparently.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 19/10/2022 19:40

oh dear oh dear indeed

SNP would have voted had it actually been a confidence vote.

pompomdaisy · 19/10/2022 19:46

They are all unwell. Tory dregs.

vera99 · 19/10/2022 19:47

TBH the opposition should boycott Parliament until a GE is called and instead send shadow cabinets to rallies all around the country to demand it happens. Flood MPs surgeries with folk saying the same.

hesbeingabitofadick · 19/10/2022 19:47

also non-voters>

nigel adams, stuart andrew, greg clarke, geoffrey cox, david davis, nadine dories, IDS, vicky forde, theresa may, alok sharma, mark spencer, ben wallace, bill wragg...there were others but I missed them (read out on sky news)

Moggy doesn't know if the chief whip has quit or not. 🤦‍♀️

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 19/10/2022 19:50

No indeed he doesn’t! Being smarmy as ever🤮

Shitting Nora, if this was fiction it would be unbelievable.

Well this thread aged absolutely brilliantly in the course of one day!

Johnson of course is taking the piss in another holiday after earning mega bucks in the US. He will never be able to have a normal life with the 'people' he will be shouted and abused in this country if he ever tries it. Like Blair before him. Meanwhile, Jezza will get glad-handed and stopped for selfies and bantz wherever he goes. Karma in action.

VioletTopaz · 19/10/2022 19:52

Apparently chief whip & deputy have both resigned. According to the BBC.

It still is. Off the fucking scale

disgraceful rant aside, how awfully xenophobic (although that is to be expected) towards Japanese and Chinese people for whom tofu is an important cultural food. what a horrible woman, just like the rest of them.

This thread has moved on a bit since this morning...Grin

I may have underestimated the fuckupability of the Government

itsgettingweird · 19/10/2022 19:56

She's my MP.

I can confirm is an unintelligent racist smarmy useless waste of space.

VioletTopaz · 19/10/2022 19:57
  • or no longer in post (resigned or sacked) who bloody knows what the Jeff is going in Westminster tonight!
IndigoC · 19/10/2022 19:57

BREAKING - I’m told Liz Truss herself FAILED to vote on the Fracking Ban that her own Government presented as a confidence motion earlier.
