Theyre always a self congratulatory list of achievements. Every time I’ve ever resigned from a job it’s usually just a one line letter to me boss informing them that I’m serving my notice and thanking them for the opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I didn’t bother reading it, I just thought ‘don’t let the door hit you mate, and let’s see how lucky you get if the polis decide to search you on a Friday night when you’re not an MP anymore’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Bit annoying that so many of the Portillo moment candidates have seen the writing on the wall and legged it. Would love to see Jeremy Hunt papped out by the Lib Dem’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 15 minutes ago, JS_FFC said: Michael Gove standing down. Translation - "fucking coward with wafer-thin majority dodges long-overdue humiliation". Every incumbent should be forced to stand in perpetuity, until they either drop dead, or are punted by the electorate.

Looking forward to Gullis being punted too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 TBF, it’s making the decision to get pished on the 4th of July easier. Sir Roger Chinless-Tytte getting emptied from some Home Counties seat you’ve never been within 100 miles of doesn’t have quite the same schadenfreudic appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 4 minutes ago, Binos said: Blair 2.0 and acolytes in plp = no great difference whoever gets papped I mean, many of us on here grew up under “Blair 1.0” and most people in the country found life much easier back then. You could get a GP appointment whenever you wanted, the trains weren’t permanently late/cancelled, it didn’t cost over £1000 a month to rent a one bed flat and vulnerable immigrants weren’t being thrown on a flight to Rwanda. So if your charge is that the incoming government are “Blair 2.0 and acolytes”, then I’ll be delighted when they serve up a Portillo moment to this wretched outgoing government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they said these things are going to change I've seen no policy whatsoever Also, tbh, that's more about the structural decline of the UK from then till now, which will continue Edited May 24 by Binos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
