Name the breach, you sniveling coward.
I'm beginning to think Dominic Raab is actually Dominic RB. Yikes
holy crap y'all
The groper's name is appropriate.
Nadhim Zahawi turning round and telling Johnson to resign one entire day after Johnson made him chancellor is a pretty good twist.
Isn't it a bit strange he accepted the job at all?Quote:

He threatened to resign unless he was given #11, supposedly.Quote:

Hancock should do the decent thing and resign if he feels this way.
Oh wait, nevermind.
People should reach out with offers to take a cabinet position and then immediately resign, just keep it going for as long as possible
Well, looks like he's finally resigning.
Kind of... anti-climatic?
I wonder if he's got the stomach to sit out the election of a new leader.
Well, liars will be liars.
British media... British media never changes

Wonder how the Tory leadership election is going, I'll just check in on-

I'm surprised the death of Elizabeth II didn't get more attention here than it did. I think her role as the glue keeping the UK together and the Commonwealth alive shouldn't be underestimated. I don't see Charles filling her shoes any time soon.
PS what's wrong with people writing nonsense like Queen Consort Camilla? Queen consort is what she is, but there's no reason whatsoever to diverge from the centuries old tradition of calling the queen consort simply queen.
Sky News just reported that a large march on Scotland Yard to protest the wrongful killing of a man called Chris Kaba was people converging on Buckingham Palace to pay the respects to the queen. They issued a correction later, but: lol

How did the conservative party think this was the best option? And it's not like this is a surprise, Truss ran on this platform, was warned this would happen. Everybody knew these plans were crap, yet they chose her anyway.
I have to admin I didn't follow the Tory leadership contest as closely as I should. After years of Johnson, I think I was just burned out on thinking about Tories. So, I don't know exactly what she was setting out in the leadership contest, but I imagine it was something like "we knew she'd do tax cut, but not these tax cuts in this way".
The other issue is that after Johnson there's really no clear, obvious successor, which was part of the reason Johnson was able to hang on as long as he did. So it's likely that many of them knew she would be bad, they just thought the other options would be worse. Plus, there is a segment of the party that is fully behind what she is doing. There's a reason the Mail and Express are out there running interference for her, or trying to while the rest of the right wing press are joining in with the chorus of 'omg wtf' for the rest of the media.
A core tenet of Tory leadership is that Tories can fuck around without having to find out. I think the party as a whole had grown so accustomed to just getting away with fucking around that they were taken completely by surprise when their actions suddenly turned out to have real and very dramatic consequences for themselves and the interests they serve. You can only treat credibility as a confidence game for so long before you're found out. Though markets clearly see Tories' lack of credibility for what it is, I think influential Tories still don't understand just how low the world's regard is for their financial panto.
Pretty sure the interests the Tory's server are just fine with what's happening.
And as a bonus question, how is it democratic to have a PM who wasn't voted in as the party leader and is running a completely different platform from the one her party ran on during the previous election?
It's not.Quote:
