Funny, I'd have expected at least two of them to go with 'well, I'm evil...'

 

[MickiQ]

To be fair to Tom TugginghisHat I can empathise with that one, My FiL is ex-RN and you have to be careful talking to him about anything in case he seizes upon the chance (any chance) to start telling you about it.
"Have I told you this story before?"
"Yes only 53 fucking times perhaps I should tell it you instead"

Sunak, though. 'Oh, I suppose I'm just too good at everything *sigh *' - classic smug-twat job interview answer to the weakness question.

have you ever shown him those episodes of only fools and horses in which uncle albert attempts to regale delboy and rodney with some anecdote from his service?

and er, "build upwards,"

She may be contradicting I think it was Noddy who said the best way was to put the roof up first because then you're sheltered.

 

[chilango]

I can't tell which posts are satire and which are real.

It was asking them about weaknesses.

"Ah, so you're saying I just shut up about my time in the military because it's all I ever talk about and I've told every story a million times? That reminds me of a jungle training mission we went on in Borneo, the sergeant was a terrible bore..."

not someone who was in the army (afaik) but where i used to drink there was this man who no matter where the conversation would have you talking about the second world war and most likely german weapons before you'd had a third of a pint.

Sorry.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Sorry.

yeah - but the 88mm flack gun ....

 

[planetgeli]

Just watching Sky News interviews of candidates, on housing Tugendhat gave the most waffly nothing answer I've ever heard, Penny Mordaunt slightly more focused on the subject but got confused halfway through and ended with "let a thousand flowers bloom," which was an interesting choice of quote ...

So the Telegraph (Mail? Express?) were right about her basically.

Virtually Corbyn. Mao x10.

 

[chilango]

they all are

Simulacra something something hyperreal something something Baudrillard.

It's just like that bit in the Matrix man.

Can't spell Mordaunt without Mao.

No actual real plans amongst the lot of them. Do these twats realise they are sitting on a swamp of toxic economic gelatinous ooze that isn’t going to be solved by cutting tax for boomers and landlords. Fucking blinkered imbecility

 

[not-bono-ever]

Thank fuck I am too lazy to care

 

[billy_bob]

They're all sitting on Sunak?

 

[Wilf]

Nadine Dorries apparently said this about Liz Truss on Channel 4 News last night:



(Dorries is supporting Truss, in case that wasn't clear)

Things rarely are with her.

 

[bimble]

the liz truss campaign seems to have massive banners in all the advertising spaces on the Conservative Home website. which is interesting.

 

[SpookyFrank]

So, Mordaunt is a halfwit then. Homeopathy ffs.

 

[Pickman's model]

They're all shitting on Sunak?

C4u

"Penny Morduant" sounds a bit like it could be a Victorian term for a cheap medicine that doesn't work.

Or a nasty and easily picked up sort of clap

I think they’ll all advertise there at some point.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

most every other university has a week in the autumn and spring terms in which students fall to their knees and give thanks that they don't share an alma mater with la mordaunt - they're known as reading weeks.

Almost 'I haven't got a clue' punnery levels.

Very well done indeed - Louis MacNeice
