Tory Leadership contest 2022

i went on a date with the editor of a now defunct magazine called The Liberal. Which will surprise exactly nobody here.

You're right - I'm not even slightly surprised that a magazine with name that crappy would go to the wall.

I had a chat with Dan Hodges once at a Migrant Trust soiree. He was ok. A bit hyper. Maybe on coke. He didn't offer me any though.

Somebody needs to do a stolen valour video ambush on her.

Ms Mordaunt is a Royal Navy reservist. Her father, John, was paratrooper and she served as acting sub-lieutenant of the Portsmouth-based HMS King Alfred in 2010. She was made an honorary commander in 2019 and an honourary captain on in June 2021.

Nah, Cameron fucked a pig but it's not that which did for him.

Cameron was a made man. The pig stuff can and was brushed off as “boys will be boys”

err. the exact opposite of this is happening though isnt it.

Daily Mail out to stop ‘traitor’ Sunak as Tory rivals vie for press backing

Analysis: newspapers still hold great power, and pro-Johnson Mail has set out its ‘anyone but Rishi’ stall

www.theguardian.com

Early days. Truss is a dead duck in this challenge. Fuck me, her sole contribution to the Foreign Sec role has been to make Putin want to nuke us. RW press are preaching to the converted right now. They’re also trying to figure out whether to go full GOP. They’ll change their tune when she gets eliminated and the candidates have more of a purple tinge

It’s a fine musical, to be fair

Sunak says judge me on my record, not my wealth

Okay then:

• Increased energy price cap by 12% in October 2021 and 54% in April 2022, leading to rocketing energy bills
• Screwed many self-employed in furlough scheme
• Eat out to spread it about
• Stamp duty holiday pushed house prices up 10% in a year
• Opposed second lockdown, helping cost thousands of lives
• Fined for attending lockdown party
• Forgot to declare £1.7 billion family fortune in MPs register of interests
• Wrote off £4.3 billion of fraud without even trying to recover it
• Opaque tax affairs
• Held US Green Card until 2021

What have I forgotten?

Well this has turned into a thread of shame. And I'm not talking about the Tories either.

I went back five pages and thought I might have got lucky. Alas.

Don't know if we've already had this...

What are you talking about then?

What are you talking about then?

The dating and dining revelations up-thread. Telegraph journalists, editors of The Liberal. All sorts.

Well, skipping the last couple of pages was clearly a good move on my part then.

Ben Ramm?

The Tory infighting comes as one senior Truss supporter revealed frustration with MPs who have failed to vote for her as promised, telling The Independent: “This is the most duplicitous lying electorate you have ever come across".

oh ... please please let truss win.

that daily mail attempted hatchet job on mordant is really really poor. Is that the best they could do on the mudslinging front? Cant understand why the right of the party - and its newspapers - are backing truss over mordant.

I'm sure it's been said already but it's somewhat ironic that Kemi (the Tory candidate) has the surname - Bad Enoch

 

[A380]

The editor of the Daily Mail online lives round the corner from me. Never met him but his wife is a right snooty cow. Trufax. Sidebar of shame that, you nobhead.

When’s bin day round your way?

Ta.

Even if she had legit qualified for them it's still a breach of uniform regs to wear them on civvie clothes.

Surely it's ok if it's a plastic version from the Royal Navy Museum gift shop?

Are we sure it's not just some memento tat from Seaworld?
