Boo Khaki

I'm no fan of any of either Westminster Labour, or their Scottish branch office, but I couldn't sit with a straight face and claim a Starmer government would be as bad as this Tory shower. It's true I'd be just as fucking angry and frustrated with Westminster rule, but I don't think any prospective Labour Home Secretary would be wetting their knickers at the thought of piling desperate people onto a plane destined for the third world, and I don't think I'd be sitting listening to stories of how Labour were ignoring procurement law in order to hand billions of pounds to companies their pals have literally set up that morning. It's not that Labour don't have a history of cronyism and underhand shite, more that when it's uncovered it tends to come with consequences. These Tory fucks simply have no regard for consequences and pay no heed to convention. They're happy to openly steal in plain sight, then flick you the V and shrug when they are pulled up on it. They're all c***s, that's true, but some c***s are definitely more reprehensible than others.

Dunno whether to be mildly sated that we didn't take a 7 goal scudding away to an arsecheek, or fucking appalled we managed to play an entire 90 mins of football without getting a single effort on target.

Bit early to be talking about COTY yet, but yes, Daboll should be in the running even if they just go .500'ish the rest of the way and scrape a WC. That's still a big turnaround considering how dreadful they've been the past few years. I think Saleh is doing a good job with the Jets, and I also think Arthur Smith is overachieving with a shitey Falcons roster, but those are the only other really impressive jobs for me right now. The others are just 'usual suspects' like Reid and McDermott who are doing exactly what it expected of them. If the Eagles do go something like 15-2 then Sirianni will probably steal it, but that's a long way off, and I don't see the Vikes 5-1 as particularly noteworthy because they've played a pile of shite and got well beaten by the only winning team they've played so far. Beyond that, the league is just really 'meh' with most of the teams a game or so either side of what you'd expect. Definitely a few strong contenders for 'worst appointment of the year' kicking around though

Well, getting rid of all your jobs is quite a cunning way to stop all the forrins from taking your jobs.

She's the definition of the useful idiot. Malleable, and simple enough to do the bidding of the folk behind the scenes who have put her into this position.

I always thought there was an element of typical 'Nicola Sturgeon says don't drink bleach - BigRab1690WATP immediately downs a bottle of Domestos just to get it up Nippy' behaviour about that. They hated being told what to do, and are thick enough to vote against their own interests just to spite the people warning them. Same thing a few years back with a guy on the radio. His business was making UPVC window and door frames IIRC. Business was in meltdown, zero orders coming in from the EU, his Polish based staff had all fucked off home, he was winding up the business because he was losing tens of thousands every week. Of course, he voted leave, was adamant he didn't regret it, and claimed he would vote leave again in any 2nd referendum. Then there was the guy with the eel farm that had been a family business for generations. Closed down due to Brexit fall-out, which of course he had voted for. Still adamant he knew exactly what he was voting for and was still fully behind it. I think this is why it will be 30-40 years at least before England admits it's mistake and thinks about looking for a route back into the EU. The politicians will be the ones to facilitate it, but in order for that to become viable they'll actually have to wait for all these thick, gammon arseholes who are too full of hubris to admit their own culpability to literally die off first.

Yip. Very first footage of people celebrating their 'Leave' vote were people working on the floor of the Nissan plant in Sunderland. This was after their own employer had said that if the UK left the EU, then Nissan would leave the UK. Absolute arseclowns.

Fairly certain there was some Tory wifey who was a minister for about 36 hours, who now stands to pick up a 20k p.a. pension as a result.

Aye which is why they deliberately obfuscated whether or not is was a 3 line whip. They wanted their own MP's to think it was, and banked on them not collectively going 'hud oan a minute...' and realising what you've alluded to above before dutifully trotting through the 'No' lobby. It's clear that even when division was called many of them still weren't clear on whether it was a 3 line whip or not. One of their own MP's said he totally objected to fracking and wanted to vote for the amendment, but was going to walk through the No lobby purely because of the Whip, so he was deliberately misled.

Yes, because it wasn't a confidence vote. If it was, like the govt were trying to kid on, they would have voted with Labour.

By design. They wanted their MP's to think it was a 3 line whip, but knew damned fine they couldn't actually do that without having to pull it from potentially dozens of them and destroying their own majority, so they let them think it was when it wasn't. SNP did not vote, so even they realised it was all bullshit.

You were. I've just been made PM and I've fucking fired you. Beat it!

Cheers. I was on Parliament channel

You guys watching this on C4 news or something?

Bet whoever was charged with physically throwing Tory MPs was relieved Therese Coffey was never gonna rebel.

They should just ask the SNP if they could borrow Stewart Hosie as and when needed. He always looks keen to start lamping folk left and right.

DIVISION!!!!!

Michael Green is Shapps nom de plume when he's trying to con folk into investing in financial scams

Of course it's deliberate. A totally manufactured circumstance to give her a reason to resign. They didn't give a f**k about a PM who had demonstrably lied to parliament on several occasions and was fined for breaking the law. The idea that they are all strictly by the book to the point that they'll fall on their own swords because of an administrative error is laughable. She supposedly had a blazing row with Truss over the fact Truss is trying to lay the ground for extra immigration to fill low-value jobs, while Braverman is simultaneously trying to hurl brown folk on planes to the Third World.

Any idea what time the vote on the fracking bill takes place? That could be a right laugh.

Shapps gets bombed as Transport Secretary when Truss announces her first cabinet. He isn't given a ministerial position, presumably because he's not particularly rated, then six weeks down the line he's parachuted into the post of Home Secretary??? It's like Real Madrid calling a press conference to introduce new 1st team coach Jack Ross. Utterly insane.

Indeed

She was seemingly hauled over the coals for multiple security breaches at the Tory Conference, so whatever it is it sounds like she's been habitually ignoring something serious enough to punt her out on her ear.

Patel - Braverman - ??? Next logical step is Darth fucking Vader

THE MEGABITCH IS GONE!!!
