Theyellowbox Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 1 hour ago, Antlion said: Re the bit in bold, I’m not sure that follows. I mean, in a sane world it would, but in this world, he’d just get replaced by an equally witless waste of skin (but potentially a more dangerous one, because it would be one who is presented with a fresh veneer of authority). Fair point and completely true. But, whoever takes over will undoubtedly be tainted by association with Bojo. The shine is well and truly off all of them and so wings are clipped. Arguably, a fractured conservative party is good for democracy when they have such a large majority. Factions will be more willing to oppose the government. Of course when BoJo is booted out, he will not stay in parliament, he's too self centred for that, so another by election which may reduce the majority even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Is Ross technically the boss of Alister Jack, a Scottish Conservative MP, or does being a Cabinet minister (albeit in a non-job) mean that Jack's boss is Boris and he kind of outranks Ross? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter. This came up a few years ago when Davidson was the Tory MSP’s leader and it was revealed that Tory MPs representing Scottish seats all answered to the leader of the party, not the leader of a gaggle of misfits in a Parliament they didn’t give a merry f**k about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Dr Sandesh Gulhane there burping up the cure-all for the exorbitant costs associated with the retail end of energy is "nuclear". Electricity generated and wholesaled via nuclear generation is hugely expensive and further, I'm not at all sure whether he misunderstands or misrepresents the wholesale and retail parts of the energy market. One wonders what leads him to such a simplistic and bogus offering. A smell of snake oil is heavy in the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I think the best part of this is his condescending tone, absolutely convinced that he knows more about everything whilst making a complete arse of himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A normal person would 100% realise they don’t know what they’re talking about, or at the very least hesitate and row back in the understanding they might be wrong. Douglas Ross is not a normal person. Dunning-Kruger again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Lifting 20 quid out your pocket with one hand, while giving you a paper cup of soup with the other. So, so very Tory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
