Michael Gove is the latest on a very long list of Tory MPs to announce they won't be seeking re-election. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship.

[Filo]

Andrea Leadsom bails out now, the whole cabal are jumping ship

EDIT: just a rumour at the moment

SECOND EDIT: now bailed out

[ravenrover]

Does anyone actually think anything will change? Seriously?

It's just a baton change .

The government doesn't have any real power anymore, the agenda is set by soros,  the WEF, the globalists, big business etc and implemented by the civil service.

It's just an illusion of choice, plus labour will just bring their own problems and f**k ups, christ its the party who had jeremy corbyn running it !

f**k me it's like someone left a tap running from  a far right cess pit.

Any comments on the party that had Liz Truss running it?

Which is exactly my point, it's the human condition, nothing can ever be perfect.
I think nothing ever, can ever or will ever change, its the nature of the system we have in place.
Again we have soros, the WEF, big business, the banks etc dictating the agenda, its like a huge oil tanker pulling in one direction, a change of mps won't really change anything, as they are like a bunch of chaotic speed boats all over the place.
At best, at a local level they could change things but only for the short term .

Of course it's well established that when far right troublemakers say "Soros" they mean "Jews". If you're going to repeat racist tropes on here, at least have the balls not to hide them.

Absolute b*llocks billy, just the usual far leftist crap your spouting. Someone has a differing opinion to you ? You call them racist, it happens so much the words lost all meaning.

Tell you what, let's meet up and talk about it? Let's see what you'll say when your not hiding behind your keyboard old lad ?
Let's see if you've got the balls to say it to my face .

Far right thug, thats what happens when you can’t win a debate

They.must have drpped at.last, time to change from Soprano to what tenor?

[SydneyRover]

''Tory donors pour cash into seats held by big names at risk of losing
Exclusive: Over £2.5m for MPs such as Fox and Mordaunt in what will be the highest-spending UK election''

''Penny Mordaunt has received more than £70,000 from donors to defend her Portsmouth North seat''

Wasn't there someone suggesting labour should do it without money or something similar?

The count so far is 70 tories walking away.

[River Don]

Mmmm, Gove the government spokesman for the Sun. Only hours ago he was making an impassioned speech. Reign in democratic protest! Damn these racist bad Palestine protests...

And now. he's off. Just like that.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Strange one, Gove.

Highly intelligent. Clearly a competent minister, or he wouldn't have held office for 14 years.

But some of the shite he's pulled over the years...

This guy might actually be the worst campaigner there is. Two days spent talking to people who aren't his manservants and he's f**ked.

I said months ago that he'd be a car crash in a GE campaign. Didn't expect it to fall apart so quickly though. He's not even been put under pressure yet.

[ChrisBx]

Who on earth is advising him? Taking a day away from the campaign at this point is bordering on suicidal.

[turnbull for england]

Read today the conservatives don't have a candidate in over 20% of seats with possibility of that increasing. This means instead of campaigning, they have to spend time selecting. It's like being able to decide when season starts and despite other teams being match ready, saying we will see you a 3pm tomorrow despite only having 3 players and weavers mate in goal.

How can this have been planned?

[SydneyRover]

The Spectator gave give him a bashing for making himself the focus of the campaign with the lowest personal PM ratings since ww2, but then I guess if you don't know who will be standing down in the next couple of minutes you don't have much choice.

Maybe he's having a Pool party whilst they decide whether to get Johnson on board with the campaign. They certainly need a World Statesman of his stature to boost their ratings.
Let's just hope Boris remembers his trunks; You know what he's like!!

[IDM]

The last thing Boris is, was, or ever could be, is a “statesman”..

I said 'World Statesman' IDM. 'World Statesman' lol

I wonder if some of them are walking away from a potential hiding in this election, only to volunteer to stand in the next election if things go badly for the next government. A bit like white knights riding to the rescue. One thing for sure is that Gove and his ilk won’t suffer financially despite failing miserably at their jobs.

No one wants to be the Portillo moment

[ravenrover]

None of them want to be held accountable by the electorate

[BillyStubbsTears]

Looks like Putin's Bot Farm wants a Sunak victory.

[drfchound]

Where are those quotes from?

[SydneyRover]

Getting close to 80 now, what's the betting risky retires hurt next?

[BillyStubbsTears]

So Sunak sits at home nearly all day figuring out what the hell to do.

It's only the third day of the campaign and they are having to bootstrap a relaunch already. Absolutely unprecedented.

How does the BBC cover this?

By totally ignoring it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cevvxwq9ypko

That's what happens when the entire governance of the BBC is filled with Tory placemen.

[Iberian Red]

Even tory members of Parliament have accepted the the only good ones are either ex members, or dead.

[SydneyRover]

You would think that something that is ''"pernicious" and "profoundly anti-Conservative" would be a high priority right?

When asked ..........

''if cutting inheritance the tax would be a priority''

Hunt said: "I hope it's something that over time a Conservative government would be able to look at.”

[BillyStubbsTears]

Looks like Johnson is using a shite GPT code to write his weekly pieces for his £1,000,000 per year from the Mail.

Judging by the last 6 Posts it looks like the Femi Nazis
Have taken over, are they all menstruating together I wonder?

Yep. That's the man who called the Brexit referendum accusing someone else of having no plan.

[BillyStubbsTears]

The superb journalist and author John Sweeney, is standing for the LDs in Solihull. He's one LD MP I'd have a huge amount of respect for.

The news he is going to be a candidate brought this response on Twitter.

https://x.com/unilincolncoo/status/1794347014949343506

Sweeney's reaction?
