sadoldgit Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 2 hours ago, The Kraken said: Starmer isn’t the best orator, but whoever writes his speeches should give those selves a pat on the back after PMQ today. ’charge of the lightweight brigade’ and ‘z-list cast of nodding dogs’ were my particular favourites. He does have a very good sense of humour but there has been precious little to laugh about for some time. As a former QC he will be used to writing his own closing speeches so I would imagine he mostly writes his own material. Angela Rayner said that he tends to work on his PMQ stuff himself. 1

Are you sure? As the leader of the opposition he should have been pissing his pants every day for the past six months at least. This is the reaction he should have been having for months but for some reason hasn't bothered.

His pmq stuff is mostly thinking on his feet as it would be in a court setting. His stuff in front of the cameras feels scripted and wooden and I'd be surprised if they're his words.
spyinthesky Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 Years ago I used to watch 'Crossroads', 'Coronation St' and 'East Enders' (I am ashamed to say) Nowadays I am engrossed in all things Parliamentary. Not much difference in the then and now I think.
The Kraken Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 I watched the tail end of a Johnson being demolished in the Liaison Committee this afternoon. It was compelling TV. 1

Yes I know odds arent predictions but do indicate where most people are putting their money. Fuck me. No wonder bookies make money. Anyone putting money on Davidson needs sectioning and their bank account frozen. You’ve more chance of going to the moon in a shoebox.

rallyboy Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 The rest of the cabinet do realise that this isn't the end of it and they will still forever be the worst cabinet in history? They have sat around that table and encouraged the corrupt crook to randomly ejaculate and throw his shit everywhere for the last few years, so they will always be covered in it. As for Zahawi - he's a fucking piece of work, this will be about three U-turns in 72 hours. I can't wait to hear his simple explanation of what changed during his tea break. 5

badgerx16 Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 Priti telling him to go, and some of tomorrow's Committee business is being postponed because there are no longer Ministers to attend. 1
Sheaf Saint Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 He's apparently refusing to quit because it would lead to chaos. 1
Mystic Force Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 He is not going to voluntarily go, he will have to be pushed or more likely dragged out.

CB Fry Posted 6 July, 2022 Author Posted 6 July, 2022 (edited) His missus is going to tell him to jack it in overnight. That, and probably some more senior resignations. He did already but he just looks like a massive prick now. Edited 6 July, 2022 by CB Fry 4
whelk Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 My missus talking about the resignations. “They’re mostly PPS’s” Like she knew what one of them were before today 1

Tamesaint Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 I'm beginning to think that if he lost a general election, Johnson would do a Trump. Claim that the vote was rigged and refuse to go.
kyle04 Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 He won't go just yet, a bad day at the office, week a long time in politics etc, getting on with the job, huge mandate, delivering, ramping up, leveling up, leveling the ramp, mandate, ramping up the level, Ukraine, leveling Ukraine - woops.

You missed large tax cuts.
kyle04 Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 I've not witnessed this level of implosion in a government ever, particularly after "surviving" a no confidence vote. Was the bollock tickler the final straw?
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 6 July, 2022 Posted 6 July, 2022 I did laugh that even in a group of back stabbing snakes jostling for position to replace their leader, Gove manages to outdo the others in his useless duplicitousness and get fired. Another one who will never change. I only heard snippets from tha liaison committee, but he got savaged. A bit more of that, a lot sooner would have been good.

whelk Posted 7 July, 2022 Posted 7 July, 2022 How is the country going to function with no levelling up being done today? 1
rallyboy Posted 7 July, 2022 Posted 7 July, 2022 The main positive with mass resignations is that a generation of unemployable yet over-promoted yes-men and women are leaving the building to never be seen again - presumably all thinking that this will just be a cool and temporary moral stand because they're so good the new leader will be desperate to reappoint them...but those phones will never ring. The silence of the sheep. 2
CB Fry Posted 7 July, 2022 Author Posted 7 July, 2022 Still seeing commentators still on about "Boris could just go for a general election" like he can just go and run that by himself like a Twitter poll.

badgerx16 Posted 7 July, 2022 Posted 7 July, 2022 Apparently every political position in the Department for Education is now vacant; Secretary of State, junior Ministers, and PPSs.
