The fall of the Tory party

Ironic that one of the biggest economic problems that Sunak will inherit and claim to fix he actually created.

Before his resignation and the subsequent collapse of the Johnson government, which was a clearly in his own self interest to take power, there was no Moron Risk Premium (FT name) on UK Gilts and mortgage borrowing.

Since then the political carnage has created this premium and only drastic cuts or tax rises will bring this down.

I find it hard to criticise him for bringing down Johnson though - plenty else, but the further Johnson is from power the better

Boris sitting it out until 2025, when he’ll come back as leader of the opposition and Starmer will have to spend hours rebutting all the made up crap Johnson spouts every day.

Reminds me of the lovely tv ad for a chip company (McCain?), along the line of “daddy? Or Chips?”
Was nice as it posted two opposite ideas of what constituted ‘love’
Whereas here…
…actually, both. ‘And fuck off afterwards’

I have found my people

Best was “lefties are all poorly educated” but all spelled wrong.

Very possibly deliberate. The audience they are reaching for isn't your online acquaintance, but the useful idiots who might see their tweet.

Very possibly not hired by the Tories, even. Put in has done well by stirring the pot in the West.

Urgh. Yes pretty bad… but better than him guaranteed in power now anyway

So tomorrow Rishi meets the king, while tonight he gets his brief from a Goldman Sachs.

Channelling Nigel Farage is an unusual take for this thread.

Looking at twitter a lot of gammony racists are no longer supporting the Tory party. Lots of resentful tweets!

Coming home to roost for the Tories then, they have bred this hatred.

I had to see this so now all of you have to as well

Can't stop thinking that if Fabricant was green not orange he'd look like the Liz Truss lettuce.

they have uncommon first names so people use them

I know so many people called Kier.

Literally the only people/things I can think of called Kier:

I went to school with a Kier (who is now a news presenter). He is the only other one I know of though.

There's a great article in the Express about the fall out of Johnson's late withdrawal. I think it's meant to be serious but it made me laugh a lot:

I reckon the next Labour leader will be called something like 'McAlpine', 'Balfour' or 'Morgan'.

Does not compute. This does though:

But he has left a number of “devastated” colleagues whose trust and goodwill he took for granted.

It's almost like they're surprised. The good news is that now he's pissed off a load more MPs who were loyal, so his promised eventual return is even less likely.

Votey McVoteface would do well.

Convention is to call knighted men Sir Firstname. Eg Jimmy Saville is Sir Jim, Kier Starmer Sir Kier, Robert Mugabe Sir Bob etc.

I like Are You Being Served where everyone was called Mr and Miss or Mrs Surname. We should do more of that.

Because this shit definitely fucking matters.

What? But then it should be pronounced Kayar, rather than Keyer. Who even is this guy? Knighted for being the best in the country at putting people in prison apparently. He sounds nice.

Cabinet positions for Neil, Jay & Simon!
