You'd think Johnson would have no problem getting rid of obvious liabilities like Paterson and Hancock, but he keeps bungling this stuff. We know it's not out of empathy for his colleagues, because he doesn't have empathy. Maybe it's just stubbornness, maybe it's just being too lazy to write an email.

 

[bimble]

Its like their only saving grace if you can call it that is their stupidity.

 

[rubbershoes]

Does Johnson have to wait till the New Year's Day honours list to send Paterson to the Lords or can he do it sooner?

I’m going to a thing this eve where our mp will be there & you can ask questions. Would love to know how he feels about having voted for the leadsom amendment , the stupid fuck.

At an event a few years ago, our shitty tory MP accused Mrs Shoes of bullying him, as she had his voting record and pointed out all the nasty things he'd voted for.

That's what they call a taxable benefit isn't it. Not that the odd ten thousand would be a problem for him.

ps - anyone know why it doesn't copy the poster's name when you go back and copy their post to add?

I wonder how keen they will be to keep him on now that the main purpose of having him on board has evaporated. Although, perhaps, he still has the ear of senior government ministers
