What awful images you conjure bimble

What awful images you conjure bimble

Apologies.

 

[existentialist]

They're totally obsessed with fucking tax cuts at the moment aren't they?

A good way of making sure that a subsequent government starts out having to make very unpopular choices, at least to the minds of these idiot Tories...

 

[Smokeandsteam]

So the 1922 committee has decided 20 MPs needed for candidates tomorrow and then need 10 more (30) to proceed past the 1st round on Wednesday.

Shapps, Jawid, that bloke nobody has heard of, Braverman and others will be out in 36 hours.

 

[brogdale]

Have we had this gem yet?

 

[ska invita]

Have we had this gem yet?

Yes, with every single fucking Tory MP ever

Perhaps to avoid doing three party any more harm, I'd be very interested in where the numbers go as Wednesday approaches.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Johnson has said he'll not endorse any of the candidates as he doesn't want to damage their chances.

About the first honest thing he's said.

 

[MickiQ]

Have we had this gem yet?

I don't think so tbh but it's definitely one of the classics alongside tax cuts and stopping illegal migration.

[Sasaferrato]

358 Tory MPs is potentially 17 contenders.

I couldn’t believe you actually wrote that cos it’s really good, so yeah now I’m listening to the album

The album cover is a work of art .I love the track 13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round The Side Of Your Bed

You're not really narrowing things down tbh.

Has she not learned anything from U75 that you must be pointing to the hole and scowling?

The Thatcherite mentality is obsessed with cutting tax so it's no surprise. All that north sea oil revenue we spent on tax cuts in the 1980s that could have been invested in a sovereign wealth fund like Norway, sigh.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Have we had this gem yet?

Fucking arsehole

 

[elbows]

You're not really narrowing things down tbh.

Probably this one:

Who is Tory leadership candidate Rehman Chishti?

MP is far from a household name, even in the constituency of Gillingham and Rainham, which he has represented since 2010

[Dogsauce]

I find ‘ tug end’ amusing because my brain is still 14 years old.

 

[billy_bob]

Fake, I'm sorry to say.

 

[donkyboy]

I must say, really liking this Tory leadership race. Turning out to be a great laugh.

 

[Supine]

Fake, I'm sorry to say.

That’s a shame. He is a tit though, so the name has stuck for me at least

 

[Cerv]

Brown, Cameron, Clegg and May lied all the time they all presented austerity as political necessity rather than as a choice and so justified and enacted far more damage to society than the Johnson government has achieved in its time.

I'll agree that Johnson's lies are more blatant but they are also far less damaging.

Brown never. the Brown / Darling response to the 08 financial crisis was economic stimulus not austerity.

it was only after the lost general election and under Miliband's weak leadership that the Labour position became acceptance of the "necessity" of austerity.

but you could certainly find other examples of him lying. he was a politician after all.

 

[quiet guy]

There's going to be a lot of Blue on Blue collateral damage over the next couple of months and many deep seated grievances will fester

 

[donkyboy]

Zero support for Rehman

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Zero support for Rehman

Maybe he thought he'd get 48.5% by accident?

 

[donkyboy]

Maybe he thought he'd get 48.5% by accident?

I'd give him a sympathy vote if I were an MP. Once eliminated, then get down to real business.

 

[Humberto]

So apart from profiting from and causing the 2008 economic collapse (Sunak), and being chancellor and worth hundreds of millions of pounds, the cunt now wants to govern us and impose austerity? AND cut taxes. Fuck.
