Tory Leadership contest 2022

I do kind of want to know who the alleged s&m candidate/s are but at the same time I’m pretty sure it’ll just be the same as ever age old traditional pastime of paying someone to do punishment like you remember from your days at boarding school etc. Boring even in their supposed eccentricities these people.
 
I quite liked it when speaking to Ridge he said ' Boris's downfall was because he's too loyal' 🤣 . I don't think you and I watched the same interview :facepalm:

Well no, those weren't his words. He was asked if he felt that Johnson 'had integrity'. Which obviously he doesn't. He dodged it slightly by saying that in some cases he had been 'if anything, he had been too loyal to certain people', ie Cummings, Pincher and Hancock. Which I kind of get. He seems incapable of sacking anyone, no matter how badly they fuck up (except Gove of course). Which is a character flaw which he had in City Hall as well. All three of those should have been sacked and they all ended up damaging him.

It's an interesting tight rope the cabinet ministers are walking, given they were basically complicit in Johnson's lies morning after morning on breakfast TV. The only one who can actually say Boris is a lying sack of shit is Jeremy Hunt of all people as he wasn't allowed to play with the big boys/girls in that period.

Anglais is it? Remind me again where the S in S and M comes from?
A German coined the phrase sadomasachism, a Mr. Richard von Krafft-Ebing in 1890. Masochism was named after Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch, who was born in Lviv, now Ukraine. I'm not sure any of these gentlemen actually invented the practices. English public schools may well have had a hand in promulgating them, though.

Say what you like about S&M, they do great sandwiches.

What about the poor old Marquis de Sade? Does he get no credit for the sadism bit? :(
 
He’s playing the long game, knowing the next leader will likely lose the coming GE. By backing an outlier he keeps his hands clean for a future attempt himself.

Hey, look at me being progressive and down with the kids, backing a young black woman.
Risky long game , given he is 54 , potentially in his early 60s before he gets another chance . Or he realises that they'll never pick him as leader (more likely) and he'd prefer to be king/queen maker.
 
Christ but it's depressing to think this will be the third prime minister in a row chosen by a straw poll of lowest common denominators.

Yes, feels like it's going to be the one who promises the biggest tax cuts (for the richest, and cuts to just about everything else), hunting trans people with hounds, sending foxes to rwanda, and abolishing human rights altogether

all of which the starmer llama will instruct labour mp's to abstain on in a very forensic manner

Hello?
Hey Kier, it's me Boris. I've got a plan where you can be in the party that runs the country. Let me explain....

First of all, do nothing until October. Then.. Do a vote of no confidence about me and get me voted out. I'll have had three months to tap up those Greens that are actually pretty good at what they do, maybe some Libdems that aren't always pissed and I'll have a word with Farage, Rory, Hancock etc. You bring you're guys that you trust and well....

We'll set up a new party, using the best skills of your best boys and girls, my best boys and girls and some of the others from the other parties (because some of them actually believe they can change things). And they can change things if they are with us!

We'll literally take the best from all parties, I get fired, I run a new party, you all defect to me and you're fucking quids in with a safe job. We'll have to ensure that we also have people from traditionally safe seats from all parties to make sure we properly represent everyone of course chuckles.

You in? I think you're in aren't you. You're a lawyer so you aren't dim and people still remember de Menenzes don't they. It's a fucking brilliant opportunity and a potential gold mine for you.

So remember, say nothing until November, let me work these next three months getting support from all over (everyone loves a brown envelope), and when I give the signal, you turn me over and we all start a new, more prosperous, leveling up party that caters for all...
