@DGRossetti

I was horrified to hear it in the Hof

Maybe we need a special person to oversee debate in the House ? Someone who doesn't take sides in debates, but just keeps order ?

I guess since they wouldn't vote, they would just be a "speaker" ?

Might suggest it to my MP. See what happens/

Good idea. Even the speaker has to follow rules though. This might mean occasionally that he/she makes rulings you don't like.

I have it!!!!!

BREXSHIT: THE MUSICAL
Ruin everything, and pretend you meant it

I wonder if Mel Brooks is available.

Springtime for Boris and Albion ....

It's rather sad and worrying to speculate that "The Producers" would never get made these days.

Or The Graduate, come to that ...

Especially as you can't help but feel a new "Carry on ..." franchise might just outsell the lot.

I've been watching a thing called "The News" recently. It seems on "the news" that the new normal is to ignore rules you don't agree with. BUt only if you make them.

@Opal8

I'm debating turning the heat off....

Maybe my awful peri menopausal hot flushes will be of benefit!! 😬

You could charge people to sit near you and get warm.

@DGRossetti

I'd also be a little more forensic looking at all this "aid" dishy Rishi is dishing out. I suspect the T&Cs will mysteriously preclude a lot of people. And that's before you realise these are all loans which we will be paying back. (as indeed all government spending is recouped ..)
But he doesn't mind if people don't repay loans does he. I thought he was happy to write of billions.

A character was asking if there was any news and the other character said:

"Oh, just some truly awful news"...

And there is more,
BREAKING @ukhomeoffice @pritipatel & @BorisJohnson have been rebuked by UK Statistics Authority chair Sir David Norgrove for misleading use of crime figures after claiming offences had fallen when in fact they increased.

Oh, like tory voters give a shit

Yes we all know that but it is just another thing to add to the shit pile.

Has Carrie on Partying come out yet?

jgw1 · 03/02/2022 19:42

When considering who could be a future Prime Minister I think people should watch this.

The thing is, they know they can get away with it Angry - and make the callous calculation that it's work it Angry

It's like misleading headlines: people hear/read the "headline" and are influenced by it but they never read the detail or hear the retraction/rebuke Angry

AuldAlliance · 03/02/2022 20:02

That's a lot of resignations on one day now... I'm starting to lose count.
Soon there will just be BJ, Nadine and Rees-Smug left.

Has Fabricant been promoted yet, to reward his loyalty?

Johnson did promise a shake up of No 10 staff. This was not quite how I imagined it.

The cynic in me is wondering if they are jumping now as they are all implicated in Sue Grey's report.
