Tory leadership contest 2024

[brogdale]

Chris Philp as Home Secretary - I laughed and laughed.

Possibly Crace's finest line..."the nose in search of a bum"

 

[steeplejack]

Priti Patel as Shadow Foreign Secretary....



Badenoch's "leadership" is set to be banter-tastic. The Tories just seem to have won the Political Darwin Awards, attaching a pulse jet to a Reliant Robin, pointing it at a conrete wall and hoping the driver survives.

You'd think so. But she has at least drawn in some people from the various wings of the party so may do better than we suppose

Exactly, 1st shad cam will be like those scenes in mafia films where the families come together to end open warfare

The smirk is back.

I'd forgotten about the Kneecap thing. Can Tories ever be normal about Ireland?

Not a chance.

 

[MrsArcanum]

Just looks like she looked at the lack of talent in the Party and picked the worst of them, with a view to putting them in the jobs they are least suited to.

Hunt and Cleverly both stepping down as front benchers saying they won’t serve if asked…telling.

Wonder what her front bench will look like…? Might actually bother to watch PMQs next week for the lolz!

Rather like the old one. Which will, of course, surprise precisely none of us. They've learned nothing. But given the makeup of the Parliamentary party, I guess she didn't have any actual talent to choose from.

 

[Elpenor]

The smirk is back.

That picture is certainly humorous to me

 

[PR1Berske]

Keep on fighting the good keyboard warrior fight my brother!

Kid, we're all long term forum members and Internet dwellers, let's not pretend that we haven't warriored ourselves.

Jesus this stuff is banal…Corbyn and Kemi have the same entitled petulance of character. Starmer doesn’t share that. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t have faults or that they’re not obvious but that’s not the point being made here. It’s really not rocket science and having to explain this is really quite tedious…!

Only a lazy thinker would make such a sloppy comparison. Starmer's an authoritarian, who's bereft of actual ideas. His response to the riots was to reach for the law and order stick. Just like 'Sunny Jim' Callaghan, he has no political solutions to the rise of the far-right and that's a serious weakness. Instead, he adopts the same kind of language about immigration in an attempt to outdo the far-right.

 

[nino_savatte]

Some of us like to deal with political reality rather than our dreams and doing nothing but posting about them…

"Reality".

 

[steeplejack]

Ah yes, the "political reality" of a share-owning, property-owning democracy powered by media lies, crony capitalism and fossil fuels. The reality that's served us all so well and has such a great future unfolding in front of it.

Come back next week when I'll have a bridge to sell you.

Kid, we're all long term forum members and Internet dwellers, let's not pretend that we haven't warriored ourselves.

there irony is, the stupid kid with his belief that nothing matters other than parliamentary majorities, is effectively admitting that for the next four years, he is going to do nothing. For all he complains about 'keyboard warriors' - thats all is going to do for the next four years! Post up 'go Keir!' snd the like.

Didnt notice him doing anything to organise anti-fascist demos a couple of months ago, or even attending them. I dare say he has banned himself from attending anti-genocide demos and will be equally silent whenever a strike happens. Thats his idea of 'reality'.

"Reality".

Political reality, if you’re going to quote at least do it properly.

I doesn't matter. The fact that you felt compelled to use the word "reality" is pure comedy.

 

[Boo Radley75]

Gareth Bacon, her shadow transport secretary, has claimed his Remembrance wreath on expenses. Great start for her first shadow cabinet.

Quoting people out of context doesn’t matter? So we can add truth to political reality then for people like you?

"Out of context", my arse. You wouldn't know truth if it spat ion your face.

A resigning matter?
