Injust choke on biscuit when i read that lol

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Which would be good news for the Tories surely - would give em time to regroup for the next general election and have a chance of winning it.

 

[philosophical]

Absolute unredeemable bastards.

I miss the old days when 3 new threads would be started by people who couldn't be bothered to check first and then we would have multiple posts asking for them to be merged and 2 would be and the third left to be resurrected by idiots and trolls every few years.

 

[Calamity1971]

Twitter is quite good tonight.

 

[Lord Camomile]

It'd be a pretty bold move not to have a Chancellor or Health secretary...

<edit: also - "their de facto shop steward"... As if any of 'em would want that title or know what to do with it >

oh you are right we can bump bojo threads from 2007

 

[Flavour]

Nothing really happens on these threads when there's important stuff going on - it's just people posting stuff they read on the guardian live blog or on twitter and doing the smiley, with the occasional bad joke. Whatever though, we're all just killing time.

you can be proper depressing sometimes y'know, but only cos it resonates / is true

dust in the wind, dude!

 

[xenon]

I guess it works for some. Important events existing within hundreds of pages doesn't sit right with me. Especially if you haven't the time to keep up with these behemoths.

Yeah agree. It's a bit shit, if you want to find out say about the resignation of a cabinet minister, which would have had it's own thread before. Tralling past dozens of posts copied from twitter etc is non optimum.

Now we have the Bandwidth thread where people post the same picture 2 posts below the first and then someone else posts it a week later.

Hearing that Johnson, aware that a top job may be opening up, just tried to submit his own letter of resignation out of instinctive opportunism.

 

[Rob Ray]

Zahawi gets the No. 11 job, so scores on the doors:

Gone
Javid
Sunak
Bim Afomeli (Tory Party vice-chair)
Saqib Bhatti (Parliamentary Private Secretary - Health)
Nicola Richards (Parliamentary Private Secretary - Transport)
Jonathan Gullis (Parliamentary Private Secretary - Northern Ireland)
Virginia Crosbie (Parliamentary Private Secretary - Wales)
Andrew Murrison (Some low-ranking trade envoy no-one really cares about)

Staying
Zahawi (gets Chancellor)
Barclay (gets Health)
Eustace
Raab
Truss
Wallace
Trevelyan
Kwarteng
Lewis
Jack
Hart
Gove
Coffey
Shapps
Sharma
Patel: Lol she'd never work as a minister again.
Mogg: Lol
Dorries: Lol

We had that for 11 years or so

Nothing much else to add at this point but this made me chuckle.

Nadhim Zahawi's Chancellor, for those who feared it would be Truss:

While I do have some sympathy for that argument, as was said upthread, it can be equally frustrating having three or four threads on the go. Then you've either got people posting the same stuff, so a) you keep seeing the same stuff again and again, while b) also having three different conversations happening about that, and/or you've got people posting different stuff and you can't remember which thread it was said on.

Can be a right ol' mess!

Current Education Secretary.

 

[Humberto]

why would you bother?

Fat pensions when you're made a Rt.Hon. though.

 

[Rob Ray]

Queer Twitter's not happy, apparently he's a motivated trans-basher. He was also playing with woke-bashing not too long ago banging on about the "cultural vandalism" of using more lgbt, disabled and ethnic minority writers in school curriculums.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well, no, apparently a lot of you have categorically decided not to...

He is the former Vaccine Minister, I thought you were the vaccines guy.
