The fall of the Tory party

Essex?

Stattos let himself go

Chairs of select committees can't be shadow ministers, by convention. Add to that the number of Tory MPs who've said they don't want a front bench position (like Sunak and Hunt) and there's not many of the 121 left. As a result, Badenoch doesn't have that many options. Not that I'm overflowing with sympathy for her plight.

Car boot sales next for Boris and his book?

Boris Johnson was “fired for banging on about his book” during a guest appearance on Channel 4’s coverage of the US election, according to the programme’s co-host, Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

Channel 4 newsreader Guru-Murthy told Johnson to “put it away” and “stop it, enough” as he twice referenced his new book and attempted to hold it up to viewers. Guru-Murthy described the former prime minister’s actions as “so cheap”.

Johnson retorted: “There’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop me … I’m allowed to plug my book.”

He'll be too busy leading the all new People's Power party to a landslide victory in the next GE to care.

Imagined Kemi to be quite snarky at PMQs, but she comes across nervous and ineffective even against Starmer who isn't great at it.

That was the thing I was surprised by. Starmer is undoubtedly terrible at PMQs but Kemi makes him look quick on his feet and statesmanlike - never thought it possible.

Whoops.

multiple references to the prime minister as a ‘she’ in that article,

Well, Theresa May was PM when it was published.

From today's showing it looks like Kemi is just going to go with the hot topic of the week (petition) and hope something eventually sticks. Even if it is a moronic take that she hasn't thought two seconds about and can be batted away instantly.

Live footage of Andrea Jenkyns bidding farewell to the Tory Party:

(ah, look at all the looney people)

Andrea Jenkyns
Giving the finger to people outside Downing Street
Loves ERG
Pining for BoJo
Losing the seat that she keeps as an MP no more
Now she's Reform

All the looney people
Where do they all come from?
All the looney people
Reformers they become

Defender of a criminal making violent threats towards another MP also... She's gone to flocculate with the rest of the turds.

Ha!

Apparently, just by chance, she’s precisely their 100,000th member, so has won the grand prize of… a pint with Lee Anderson. So it’s not all going well for her.

When you compare them to the Tory level of graft, where chancers had to pay big bucks for tennis with Johnson or high tea with Gove, Reform are more at the level of a pub meat raffle.

His wife Helena is in it, his various children are in it, his castle is in it, his SW1 townhouse is in it, his nanny is in it, a man called Sean who buffs his vintage Bentley is in it, his mother – whom he calls “Lady Rees-Mogg”! – is in it.

Jacob Rees-Mogg this week launches a reality show on Discovery+.

100,000 members at £25 each, what have the Reform owners done with £2.5M…..

One flatcap, one waxed jacket, one pair yellow jodphurs, one pair Hunter Wellington Boots...

I just can't see Rees-Mogg being the sort of peron who'd willingly let camera crews follow him round.

I wonder, money troubles, needs the cash and pubilicity to keep all the plates spinning? Really on his uppers? I hope so!

lol. He’s worth fucking millions, as is his wife, so he’s not on his fucking uppers.

If I remember right the show was his idea. It'll go down a storm in the US.

Dosen't feel right to me. Like he's soiling himself in public. Something is nor right here. I will die on this hill.

Between them, they are worth somewhere between £100-£150 million. I think you'll find it's a lonely hill to die on.

Yes money troubles (although it is relative). His investment firm went bust.
