The fall of the Tory party

obvs now that the day has passed where Britain Became Ungovernable (TM The Daily Mail), Raab won't be able to deliver all that great stuff that he was going to deliver if it weren't for those pesky woke activist snowflakes who stopped him.

Full list of his great ideas below:

Yeah, fuck those liberal elites/champagne socialists they shouldn’t forget who pays their bills/ shouldn’t over reach themselves. Raab is a self-made work place bully! It’s a free country, rahrahrah (despair/sarcasm emoji)//

my ex-civil service neighbor (don’t you dare gc me) has her own raab bullying story but isn’t a current complainant; believe the hype!

It is remarkable how many ministers, often on the second or more go on the roundabout, end up with proven bullying accusations - Patel, Williamson, Raab etc - with the PM of the time saying they should be proud of their achievements (which are so self evident that they don’t need listing)…..

Epic WTF thread >>>>>>>>>>

Andrew Bridgen expelled from the Tory party.

From here

It is not known if Bridgen plans to sit in the Commons as an MP for the tiny party, which took 1.9% of the vote when Fox stood to be London mayor in 2021, only just beating the novelty candidate Count Binface.

I am not certain that the Guardian is applying the term "novelty candidate" broadly enough

More allegations emerging of ministerial bullying, will be huge if true

The New York Times gets it.

Life becoming shorter must be about the only silver of living under Tory rule.

Or as the Mail might say: "accept you're poor" as a chocolate effigy stares into the place where your soul once was.

Can't tell if they are pro or anti their own headline.

Probably hedging their bets and hoping for 100% of readership to be shouting at clouds

It's a fascinating historical document, SARAH VINE in the top right is the icing on that day's shit sandwich.

All that goodness for just a quid as well.

Or £3.65 a year on your phone/tablet

I like the way 'exact replica' is a selling point, when it presumably means you have to awkwardly zoom into an image of each printed page, rather than actual web pages.

Tugenhat on 5Live this morning stating that student ID was acceptable to vote; thankfully 5Live corrected this pretty promptly but not before the misinformation was out there.

Tugenhat is often described as reasonable - apparently he was in the military (TA) although that’s never mentioned - but lying is so baked into Tory DNA that they simply can’t help it

And my MP, who does nothing in the constituency, out doing himself

Comments are tidy, turns out the jailed farmer is both a friend and a Tory councillor - imagine the chances.

James Cleverly's campaigning video is something to behold.

Wow. What's your name, where are we?

The usual expertise, planning and self awareness shown by a Tory minister.

Tugendhat is my local MP. I've never understood how he's got this tag of being a decent Tory. There is no such thing. He's the stereotypical self serving ghoul.

Tugendhat is my local MP.

Oh hai neighbour - let's set up a 'Tonbridge Bike Tag of Bike' thread...

The term 'decent Tory' basically means, 'not high enough profile to know how big a cunt they are'. His deliberate lies to try to stop the younger generation from voting today might be a start in showing who he is.

Decent Tory makes no sense these days, if it ever did. And Tugenhat is as self serving, gaslighting and dishonest as the other ministers.

My MP however has all those qualities plus the Eton contemporary connections but is too thick to even make it as a minister - and that’s properly fucking thick.

Wow. He's a non-entity isn't he. Shows how many lickspittle backbenchers there are just doing fuck all and no doubt filling their own boots.
Fuck them all off.
