Tory Death Spiral

[Poi E]

Hear, hear!

In the latest edition of Viz there’s a Baxter Basics strip were the joke is about a Brexit promoting Tory MP (using very similar rhetoric to BJ) being constantly asked by journalists about an incident were he shat on a woman’s kitchen floor who spurned his sexual advances. Anyone know if there’s any truth to what the strip is alluding to?

Gotta say that I make that

Con alliance 299 - 1 deputy speaker = 298*
Oppo alliance 343 -2 dip speakers = 341
+ 1 Speaker
+ 7 SF

Tot = 650

*although suspended alleged tory sex offender Elphicke will vote with the Con alliance.

In terms of actual fire-power in a VoNC-type vote I suspect that Johnson might pick up a few 'rebels' & possibly a few 'indeps' like Austin etc...so prob. about 305-310?

BBC graphic of how it sees the Parliamentary arithmetic:



Love how the state broadcaster still can't bring itself to admit that the 21 newly created independents are no longer Conservatives.

I DO wish people would use more credible sources than the New British Communist Party's (formerly the Labour Party) propaganda wing.

 

[brogdale]

Nope, nor me.

[Jeff Robinson]

Few things make me happier than the sight of Tories ripping each other to shreds

 

[fucthest8]

WTF is that Mogg like in his fuck you recline

My favourite so far

 

[Steel Icarus]

I love parody Twitter accounts

Quite something to cast Dorries as the reasonable, grown-up on the front bench.
Dorries!

 

[brogdale]

Not a biggie, I know...but my vermin MP twitter list is very quiet this morning.

 

[Gaia]

Redwood's been rather quiet of late, hasn't he…? <checks Twatter> Oh, he's still twitting gibberish.. Still thinks everything's going to be absolutely fine because we "have complete control over Dover". Twat (it's overused, I know, but sometimes simplest is best…).

What did you mean here Gaia ?

 

[Treacle Toes]

Gaia 's just saying more dodgey shit to add to the long list of dodgey shit she's said on a variety of subjects already but refuses to talk about or engage with anyone who questions it.

Well they still are really aren't they. Even now how many of them would vote against the Tories in the VoNC, none.

Really, if actually put to the test of VoNCing or ND, I'm not sure of that now. I reckon a fair few of them are so far detached/alienated from their party that they'd actually do it. Call me naive, but the recriminations on both sides of the internecine war were so visceral last night, I think there has been a split.

 

[SpackleFrog]

Given there will be an election anyway, if they were persuaded that it would disadvantage Johnson I think they would have. Suspect it's the Liberals that have stopped a VoNC going through.

According in Ben Bradley, it's because you can't hear the back benches from the front so you *have* to recline.

Beyond parody.

 

[belboid]

McDonnell is not sounding at all well.

Are we meant to notice the unfortunate shadow manifesting directly and only under Mogg's nose?

I wish you'd fuck off.

[brogdale]

Excellent; kick her out!

 

[brogdale]

Watching the Parliament TV channel it's quite obvious from the body language & interactions that it's dawned on the vermin that they're fucked.

 

[Badgers]

Excellent; kick her out!

Guessing that is the increase from 328 to 329 since yesterday
