You will need to engineer me more. This machine is rusty and crusty. It's original purpose is long forgotten. Many of the large bits are not functioning well. Ironically some of the smaller parts are...well, you can guess the rest :wink:

I agree with you. Back in the day the parliamentary parties selected the leaders. Then labour, and following that the tories opened the internal leadership franchise to members, citing fairness and democracy. I remember labour having a right old go at the tories for their leadership...

Looks like she's given up channeling Maggie Thatch, and is now channeling Myra Hindley.

Biding his time before putting forward his name to become leader of the opposition.

Sadly you are right. I'd estimate around 50% of the electorate meet one or more of my criteria for being f***ing stupid. This ranges from those who will be voting tory because of Brexit all the way to those who will be voting conservative because they support conservation, with a large group who...

Boris has just enough brains to know he is a liberal. Truss (who was once a Liberal) is simply a f***ing idiot.

How long before we hear that Truss is f***ing Joey Barton? ??? Edit as in 'doing it', not 'being him' :facepalm:

Nonsense. His deliverance is like 'get a man on the moon' deliverance. I always found him amusing, if untrustworthy. To imagine he has actually achieved something is deluded. Here is another: He promised to buy you a car - and he did!

Thick Lizzie has apparently got the opportunity to supply names of worthy people to be given honours, as a reward for being booted out of office after a few weeks. I wonder if she'll nominate a relative for something, like Johnson has done?

Apparently Braverman sent messages asking recipients of her compromised correspondence to delete it. So, she knew what she'd done. Looks like the Sunak government's honeymoon period was over before he'd even kissed the bride.

That's because you're being monitored by the conservatives as a potential successor to the Trussterfuck. A collation error. So.....how does it feel to be that close to having a grasp on power? ??? :wink:

But the idea is you have the leader in place before the election. Ken Livingstone stole power in the GLC by mounting a coup after the election result. No matter how shit the person he deposed, and how good he was at the time (he was great; turning into an antisemitic gammon only later), this was...

That was the second thought that crossed my mind (after something about celebrations and purpose-built fermentation premises)

Isn't that the amount of time that Clough was in charge at Leeds? You have to hand it to her - the incentive to f*** it all up and resign to spend more time with her money, sorry, family, was massive. She may go down as the canniest PM of all time. As well as the worst. What a gal!

Reported on R5 that some tory MPs have declared if Johnson stands (just stands, not wins) they will resign from the party. Better to be elected as a tory and resign the party than see a man on the ballot who had earlier resigned for being a liar. Other tory MPs openly wishing Johnson will...

:bowdown: :thumbsup:

I wouldn't say disingenuous. That's simply not the right word. Harsh, maybe? Fair? Certainly. The difference between labour and conservate was paper thin in the 70s. If you mother thinks that 'Lawson boom and bust' as it is known, in the late 80s and early 90s, was caused by the labour...

The standard reason. People are stupid or dishonest.

Mrs T's verdict? "She deserves to be chucked in the f***ing sea" Far be it for me to offer any words of contradiction.

Sue Ellen's resignation speech says she resigned because it was right to do so. She then laid into others for not resigning when they didn't honour election commitments (*cough* Truss *cough*). Omitting the blindingly obvious fact that Sue Ellen was happy to serve before her dimbottery forced...
