I liked the one that accused him of supporting more people today than universal credit

The pensioners of Tunbridge Wells made it clear they didn't like Sunak (for I'm sure a very good political reason, nudge nudge) but a lovely looking fresh faced gal from good British stock might be just up their street.

Do you reckon he ever looks at himself in the mirror and thinks "What an utter Kitson you turned into"?

Ahem.....

And he's another one that should never be given a chance to be involved in governing the country again. Get the lot of them smoked out.

Are they all the same then?

"nudge nudge"? Would you care to explain that?

[tommy toes]

The term nudge nudge first appeared in a Python sketch about two men who met in a pub to discuss identifying trees from a good way off.
It quickly led onto one of them asking if the others wife was a goer, nudge nudge, and progressed from there
It was very funny.

Johnson said he will go back to Uxbridge and help the people of his constituency deal with the onset of winter and the cost of living.

Aye. I'm sure he will put in 80 hour weeks for them.

From the BBC website.

Moments before Johnson made his announcement, an article was published in the Telegraph written by Zahawi titled: "Get ready for Boris 2.0, the man who will make the Tories and Britain great again."

However, the article is no longer available and link the to the web address reads: "404 – Sorry, page not found."

What an utter bell end.

How could anyone vote for a moral vacuum like this?

That account looks to be. But it's not the one BST quoted (you spelt it wrong). Just click on the link.

This could be the 1st time Johnson has ever pulled out!
Wonder if the deal between Sunak and Johnson is for Johnson to be given a seat in HoL? Gets him away from having to be elected and represent a constituency and all the work that is supposed to go with that. Leaves him to live his life of idle luxury picking up free holidays and 150k  a speech as and when, just a thought

[Glyn_Wigley]

GB News in meltdown right now .

I thought meltdown was their default position on everything?

[mugnapper]

Come on Glyn, that's  a bit harsh. I think GB News viewers are very level-headed.
That's how they can drool from both corners of their mouths at the same time.

Mordaunt concedes so Sunak is PM.
Yay!! Now we get to watch the richest man in Parliament (£730 million and counting), increase taxes for the rest of us whilst also slashing Public Services.
We are truly living in blessed times.

[mugnapper]

Is it time to start a 'Sunak' thread?
I'm sure Johnson's lot will be throwing mud before too long.

[tommy toes]

Well found Kato. That backs up my not so cryptic point very well.

Yes indeed. Sunak's version of Austerity will make Osborne look like Titus Salt.

[Not Now Kato]

You're most welcome. I loath racists and the harm that they cause.  Here's the followup to the video showing the awful effect people like that racist clown can have on people.

There is no place in a grown up society for racism, no place at all.  Sadly, and curtesy of people like Nigel Farage and our right wing media, it's becoming endemic in this country!

[mugnapper]

I've started a Rishi thread but was so tempted to call it 'Hi risk Anus (anag)'

[scawsby steve]

Well found Kato. That backs up my not so cryptic point very well.

Exactly. It confirms what I thought, that it wasn't very cryptic at all, because I'm well aware of what "nudge nudge" means without it having to be explained to me.

I was asking about how it was used in this context, because I don't want to be so offensive as to accuse you of being so offensive as to accuse the pensioners of Tunbridge Wells of being racist.

Are we on the same page now?

[tommy toes]

Did you listen to the link Kato posted?
Kind of confirmed what I alluded to.
Sunak had far more support among Tory MP's than Truss but somehow everyone knew Truss would win when it went to the members.
Strange that.

Of couse I listened to it, and it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know; that racism and xenophobia are utterly and totally abhorrant. However, racism has to be proven, if it is to be called out, not based on "nudge nudge" assumptions.

As Tyke said, the Tories have now had 3 female leaders, and one Asian leader. The Labour Party have had nothing but white male leaders.

There couldn't(nudge nudge) be anything misogynistic(nudge nudge), or racist(nudge nudge) about the Labour Party could there?

[SydneyRover]

There is one thing Steve the tories have had many more leaders aye?

[tommy toes]

SS

It's impossible to prove that a large swathe of Tory party members are racist, but judged on how they have voted, and now we hear that thousands of them are considering cancelling their membership, its a fair bet.
The Tories did a good job of making people believe that Corbyn is a racist (which is frankly laughable) so don't talk to me about race and the Tories.

[BobG]

I confess it never crossed my mind that Rishi being anointed would lead to mass membership cancellations. I've not seen it reported so I'd appreciate confirmation Tommy. If there is a noticeable number of members resigning then, for me, it can only reinforce the feeling that such Conservative members must be divorced from reality. I'm not a Rishy fan. Smarmy and uber privileged.  But he's their only option if they want to survive as long as long as the next planned GE. Less likely to split the party than the Lunatic Tendency and more likely to display stability and competence than Boris or any of the nebbishes. So to throw their toys out of their pram now, NOW, shows how bankrupt the Conservative Party is today in both the rest of the Parliamentary membership and in the nation too.
