The fall of the Tory party

FFS.. iv missspelte fingz inn ve passed.. but really?

Christ. The Paul Scully interview on the newsagents podcast is painful.

I've been watching the Inbetweeners, and it reminded me of the cringyness of some of those moments.

If he feels half as awkward speaking as I do listening, it almost feels like a reasonable punishment.

Ah, but you see, it was 40 new hopsitals that were promised
You mugs have all been looking for hospitals
Ha ha
Losers

It's the Labour candidate who posted it

D- must try harder.

Scott Benton's 35 day suspension approved by the Commons, so he's up for a recall petition.

They're mad. All of them:

Apart from Rosie Holt at the end! That caught many an outraged middle aged man on the YouTube clip 😂

It's so infuriating isn't it.

I was pondering what kind of question I would ask as an interviewer.

Possibly ask Mark Harper for example : "Are YOU a racist?". He'd deny it. Then ask why he can't deny it for Lee Anderson.

My question would be if you can't say what he did wrong why has he lost the whip?

Follow with, Is this just a pr exercise for you ?

They won't say it's Islamophobic as they don't want to imply Islamophobia is a bad thing. Not to this membership anyways:

This week they were supposed to be building toward to the budget next week. instead they've been fighting there own culture war with themselves. I almost feel sorry for Issac Levido.

They'll be desperate to get to Friday and the Rochdale byelection result in the hope that everybody moves on.

If they're really lucky Galloway will win it and then they can all quietly point and say "we warned you".

This, on why whinging about “the Blob” is ineffective, is, I think, some insightful analysis on the current state of the Tory Party:

Great article.

I ❤️ that first comment. The coming of the year 2019 and covid are the two events that crystallised the blob/deep state into existence.

Absolutely no correlation with the halfwits who took over running the country.

Sunak and his comedy miniature lectern make an appearance ten minutes.

Resigning hopefully.

Who thought this speech was a good idea?

According to Sunak, the country is under threat from impressionistic minds.

I'm not sure what the money shot will be off this. Is he going to declare a Police state?

Edit: Yep

Saw him on the TV start chatting as I walked out the office.

What's this all about then?

Is he going to expel 30p Lee from the Tory party?

He just doesn't have the gravitas to pull a speech like this off. He sounds like a sixth former at debate club.
