Talk Your Way Out Of This One Johnson

[BillyStubbsTears]

Wallace announces he's not running. Oh dear.

[SydneyRover]

What about Gromit wolfie?

[Filo]

Suella Braverman, the unqualified QC is running, lord give us strength!

[drfchound]

I would have thought you would want someone like that to win Filo, to give Starmer a better chance of winning.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I'm looking forward to Sunak winning.

Then maybe we'll get to the bottom of why he broke the law by being an MP while he was a US resident.

Get the popcorn in.

[ravenrover]

So what do we think of the Minister for Education Jenkyns giving the public the finger, great example to our education system, imagine the uproar if Rayner had done it

[BillyStubbsTears]

Christ, they are down to the dregs bringing in someone like Jenkyns as a minister. Still not quite at Fletcher level though, so there's some hope.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Next time you hear a Tory saying they understand the cost of living crisis, just remember who they supported while he spent this.

Tom (your good friend   ) was first to the nomination table and also has dual Nationality and it aint "one of our former colonies"

If I were spending £78k in one shop, I'd be asking for  a substantial discount, of at least 33% off the RRP.
It's almost like they're not spending their own money.

No doubt they'll be leaving all these items for his successor, seeing as taxpayers bought them?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Actually the taxpayer didn't pay for them

They were paid for by a Tory donor.

We got to the bottom of that fact after Johnson lied about it to his Ethics Adviser.

Two take homes from that.

1) Johnson's strained relationship with the truth extended across his entire lifestyle.

2) The Tories don't really understand what it's like making a tight budget have to string out. Because they can always ask a rich friend to pay for it.

Obviously been tipped off that a newspaper has something juicy on him.

So it all belongs to the Tories?
Or does it all belong to the donor?
Or do we all own a share lol?
Did they keep receipts and if so can the donor take it all back?
And I complain about Mrs Mug spending a tenner on a tablecloth lol!

[BillyStubbsTears]

I did wonder that Mug. That said, he did seem to be a genuine person, rather than one of the plastic polished types with their rictus grins and their attention on how things look rather than how things are. I wonder if he just genuinely doesn't think it's worth the aggro.

Or, if he's REALLY smart, let someone else lead the Tory party to a historic kicking in 2024, then stand...

She's only human, so that's ok then lol.

Well now. Johnson's ex-mistress and well connected journalist:

'A source at Number 10 tells me that Boris Johnson intends to stand down as Prime Minister on Monday, in order to run for the Tory leadership.'

[BillyStubbsTears]

Interesting.

This person doesn't get it.

https://mobile.twitter.com/mrrowanhall/status/1545762781026287616

Johnson hasn't stood down as Leader of the Tory Party.

This would be typical Johnson. Leave the stage in a way that makes it all about him and destroys the chance of an orderly transition. Vindictive. Nasty. Narcissistic.

Of course, that might be exactly what an Ex-KGB Colonel with kompromat on him might want him to do too...

I hope this link works. Looks like Sophy Ridge asking an old lady about Johnson in his own constituency lol

Get the popcorn in.

Most of the backbench MPs I've seen interviewed about what they want from the new PM have parroted 'tax cuts, tax cuts'. I'm not sure that many of them will think they'll get that out of Sunak as his turn as Chancellor.

This gets to the core of the Tory problem.

They've had no logical economic philosophy since the early 90s.

They have zero idea how to get an economy firing when it has high debt, low growth, an ageing population and difficult trade conditions with its nearest rich neighbours.

So they park the hard think and just squawk "Tax cuts". Like it's some Universal Panacea.

Of course the fact that Wyatts dad was a former Labour politician wouldn’t have influenced her to make up something like that.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I see Grant Shapps has thrown his name into the leadership race.

Insert punchline...

[drfchound]

He won’t win.

You think who her father is has more effect on what she would say than her current job, Deputy Editor of The Spectator or who the father of her aborted child is? Interesting.

I never mentioned her job or private life wilts so you are making a big assumption there.

I know hound. That's why I did. Only you know why you didn't - the rest of us will have to 'assume'.

I notice she is now saying the person from No.10 who told her this has got back in touch and said it was a joke.

I didn’t mention it because I didn’t know about it.
That saying about “assume” is very true.

Presumably him being one of Thatcher's closest advisers would have influenced her.

I dont know.
He was an active LP member and MP for much longer than he was Maggies advisor.
