The grand tory 'civil war' thread

[stethoscope]

David Cameron could be removed as Prime Minister within months by his own MPs

Tory MP accuses Osborne of 'planning to break law' over EU referendum

Carry on Conservatives...

Of course, if there's a no confidence motion against Cameron, he merely gets replaced with another muppet.

Which one steps into the breach ahead of a leadership contest that involves the whole membership.

I reckon it would be May and she has positioned herself for exactly that eventuality. Osborn is to closely aligned to Cameron and remain and Johnson simply doesn't have enough friends or supporters. May is the obvious unifying candidate not that the tories ever are really unified.

Then why put herself up as the caretaker...

Leader in waiting. But, it doesn't really matter. I don't think Cameron will be going anywhere for a while if remain wins. As that indy article points out he can just name a date some point into the future.

I'd say Summer holidays stops things festering, allows for party machinations, without all the 5 year fixed term malarkey getting in the way

Mail is out Mail on Sunday in, been so for a while

Interesting. I wonder if coming out will fuck Harmsworth's little tax arrangement (tells HMRC he lives in France, actually lives in Dorset or Wiltshire).

Boris v Dave: The Battle for Europe starting on C4 in just under an hour.

Hopefully there'll be mention of the joyous friendly days they used to have, wreaking carnage on the restaurants of Oxford.

You should email Crosby, they might be able to use that line!

C4 had interviews with many of the most powerful people in the Tories over the last 25 years who, whilst they may have been at times lying will at least have seen it all happen at points.

It also had Isabel Oakeshott.

Hilarious blue-on-blue handbags following that tweet as "Sir" Oliver Heald tries to tick Jackson off for his disloyalty!

Chris Patten's just been slagging off Boris Johnson on Newsnight. Now Jacob Rees-Mogg's sticking the knife into Patten (as ineffectually as he seems to do most things).

Eta He just used the word 'charabanc'. Man of the people (circa 1923).

Rees Mogg really does deserve a hoofing - the posh cunt.

tbh, I think my local vermin specimen actually out-does Mogg in that dept.

I once saw a video of him speaking in Parliament (I think it was the one where he used the word "floccinaucinihilipilification", a word I had to Google), and I honestly had trouble understanding him. The dude lives in a world so different to mine he might as well be a space alien.

He seems quite likeable to me for some reason. I think its because when a person is that posh, its like they have an affliction which you are obliged to feel pity for. In my mind he is some sort of weird, gangly, sad giraffeman - an experiment that went wrong.

 

[DotCommunist]

always been repellant to me. A reminder of what sort of cunts are the tories inner cabal, its soul. Not bluff northern tories (arseholes as they are) nor bumpkins like my local. The ones so posh they can hardly fucking talk, thats the soul of em

Upper-class twits can be quite funny, if they don't make my fists itch or my head ache. I think it's a defence mechanism of some kind.

 

[stavros]

I'm sure they avoided a Rees-Mogg-like character in The Thick Of It because it would have detracted from its realism.

Goodness...

Tory Leave campaigners Michael Gove and Boris Johnson have launched their most savage attack yet on David Cameron’s personal authority in the increasingly bitter EU referendum campaign.

In a blistering letter, seen by Sky News, the Justice Secretary and former London mayor claim the Prime Minister’s failure on his pledge to curb immigration is "corrosive of public trust".

The attack marks a dramatic escalation of the "blue-on-blue" Tory civil war triggered by the referendum campaign and confirms the Leave campaign plans to fight almost entirely on immigration between now and 23 June.
