The fall of the Tory party

Cameron is a dick, but he throbs a little less than Boris, Truss et al doesn't he?

Guardian comment suggesting that it can be done outside the usual vetting process:

There is a vetting process if people are proposed for a seat in the House of Lords in an honours list. But if a prime minister wants to put someone in the House of Lords so they can serve in government, the appointment gets made immediately

That is a very low bar you set...

Yes, Guardian comment above.

I've been thinking this about Theresa May recently and then have to remind myself how badly she actually did fuck up when in power.

They've been extremely lucky to have had successors that make them look competent.

If nothing else, Sunak pissed on Johnson's cornflakes this morning.

Hang on.
JC is Sean Dyche
DC is more like Gary O'Neil or some other "who manages them then?" type manager.

There's also the often forgotten element of the deal, where Rwanda can send immigrants our way too.

Coffey's gone

Missed this.
"just fucking run around"

How come?

Well, i guess we can look forward to a return of the Steve Bell condom cartoons

Barclay's just gone in too.

Because he saw himself has having defeated an old rival when he became PM, having been the primary cause of Cameron losing that job. Now he's in the wilderness and Cameron is back in government.

Is Sunak purging all the (useless) Trussites?

Yeah I really love it when MPs get asked about and watching them squirm

Probably figures that any Braverman fallout will soak up the political capital with the right wing he would lose anyway.

Is he on here?

16th Housing Minister in 13 years...

What housing crisis?

JC = Sam Allardyce
DC = Alan Pardew

DC = Alan Pardew

He's already had one 6 year deal.

Steve Barclay: New Environment secretary.

Nothing in his wiki page above suggests he had any interest in the environment.

Hydro Industries (whoever they are)* took him to the rugby in August, according to latest register of interests. Maybe he has some lobbying links already so he can set himself up for a cushy post-parliament job?

*management and cleanup of industrial waste water
