Let's Get Political!

Lots of people, me included really like peanuts though.....

Can't stand them, but I shouldn't have taken my frustration out on the little fellas, its just not cricket. I apologise.

We basically have a new Prime Minister don't we? Except a Prime Minister who is also the Chancellor. Will she step down? I don't think so. I expect the senior Tories who call the shots will want her to stay as a kind of figurehead who doesn't make any of the important decisions rather than trigger another leadership battle. The only thing they want less than that is a general election

Suella Braverman gone as home sec

Grant Shapps tipped to take over

The men in grey suits strike back.

Braverman was properly nuts, even by the standards of the current government.

Send her on the next dinghy to Rwanda

Sharing security information by a private phone apparently

Can’t imagine letting slip in parliament that the government had in the past sold golden visa’s to Russian oligarchs helped either

What an idiot. Absolutely stupid thing to do.

She "resigned" I see. Oooh Liz, you're so decisive.

The Government walls are a wobbling.

The Gernmental merry-go-round....its Grant Shapps (aka Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath and Sebastian Fox)

It's a Mutiny of the Mutiny.

[Jimmy Quinn]

It has to be the weakest most farcical government in decades. "Their all gone so why she still here"🤣

No-one gets on the wrong side of big tofu and survives

Vote at 7 has been three line whipped and is a proxy vote of confidence in the government. Only needs 30-odd Tories to go against it for their majority to be gone

Which is to trap them.  Their No Confidence letters won't count if they have the Tory Whip removed, so they are having to vote with the Govt.  Seems a few are planning on ploughing ahead though.

Forgot to add - Tory MP’s are being whipped to break a manifesto pledge to support a Prime Minister neither they, nor the party members, nor the Nation want

We’re one of those tinpot nations people would thumb their noses at pre-2016

[Batch]

seems they are now struggling to organise a vote in a voting lobby ...


"MPs variously describing tonight's voting process as "total carnage" and "utter madness", with Cabinet minister Jacon Rees-Mogg reportedly shouting "it's not a confidence vote" and Tory colleagues apparently telling him "fuck off""

Chris Bryant says he has photos of Tory whips manhandling MP’s to get them to vote with the government
