Sherrif John Bunnell Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Now it seems loads of Tories are going to openly rebel against the 3 line whip on the fracking vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) The brainless decision to make tonight's vote a confidence one already paying dividends. I reckon she will be gone in 24hrs.

BFTD Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 This is all hilarious until you realise they've got another two full years to go and most of us will be dead by then, one way or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 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. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Real Madrid calling a press conference to introduce new 1st team coach Jack Ross. Utterly insane. "If Suella Braverman was sacked over a mistake, then that does beg the question as to why she was appointed to such a senior post, without having had experience running a major government department, in the first place. Reportedly Braverman will be replaced as home secretary by Grant Shapps, the former transport secretary. Liz Truss sacked Shapps when she took office. It later emerged that, when Truss dismissed Shapps, she told him that he was “one of the most competent secretaries of state in government” and “probably the best communicator in government” – but that he had to go anyway, because he did not back her in the leadership contest."

Dons_1988 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 These people find just governing a country boring, don’t they? They remind me of the miserable folk in my office who like to ‘go to war’ over a slightly crabby email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Imagine Shapps being an improvement. Fucking hell. He may have a background in unethical get rich quick schemes, come across as really dense and be a complete moral vacuum, but it beats being the physical incarnation of a particularly ignorant and nasty Littlejohn column. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 If you live with a Tory MP make sure your email is in that they vote against the government in line with the 2019 manifesto they were elected on, besides it will probably save your house from being flattened by a fracking earthquake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
