The fall of the Tory party

Boris must have some really good dirt on Nadhim Zahawi

Stop calling him Boris, he's Johnson.

Everyone calling him Boris, as if he's an old cuddly mate started this effing circus off in the first place

If everyone just called him by his surname this would definitely all go away.

He's now saying that Johnson 'stepped down for the sake of unity', fuck me, they're gaslighting the country on an industrial scale.

BoJo telling his supporters to “hit the phones” is definitely what someone with 100 votes would say

My google-fu is failing - I can't find a news thing on Sunak declaring to stand, I assume he has - anyone got a link?

Check his twitter.

These politicians wanting to lead the country are so straightforward that they can't even say if they actually want to do it for two days. Great people, very good.

I didn't think you were being malicious but it's the kind of thing thing that your daughter either does or will encounter regularly that lots of autistic people get rightly pissed off about, so worth pointing out so that what you say aligns better to what you feel, but it's also probably not worth carrying on in this thread.

Cry me a river, our members paid their subs and are more important than elected MP's

Yes. That is exactly what everyone is saying, and it sounds like you may slowly be getting the message:

Laura Kuennssberg might as well be the official Tory party spin doctor.

That's jolly perceptive of him 😆

Breaking with JRM, splits in ERG.

ERG implosion - awesome :-)

OMG spare me from this drivel.

Did the pie grow after her holy trussness touched it?

She can probably have another go in a month or two. 🤷

Source very close to Boris Johnson texts to say that even if Sunak wins with MPs by a real margin, he will “trust the members” to make the right decision

The hunt for a unity candidate going well

as she nibbled on a pork pie

What's new?

Growing the pork markets pie. pause for applause stare round audience "thank you, this interview is over"

So mordaunt drops out to be chancellor for sunak.

Sunak gets 257 votes to Johnson's 100.

Members vote in Johnson because he's one of them, funny, a vote winner...... white.

Party unity restored.

He hasn't even been reelected and he's already rerunning Operation Save Big Dog

Don’t think Johnson needs any dirt on Zahawi. He’s fucked himself by lying about his offshore interests and then getting his lawyers (of which he’s now on his second set) to wrongly threaten the ex-head of tax at CC (and now general tax policy brain) with defamation.

A good lesson in not picking a fight with a very clever person with lots of time on their hands!
