The fall of the Tory party

10 minute walk to North Acton central line as well.

Ha - so they're proposing you take your luggage, walk ten minutes with it and then commute through rush hour with it?

It used to be enough of a pain getting the train down for uni and ending up in Marylebone instead of somewhere slightly more connected.

getting the train down for uni and ending up in Marylebone

how to tell someone you went to Oxford without saying you went to Oxford ;-)

how to tell someone you went to Oxford without saying you went to Oxford ;-)

haha - that'd be a very subtle way of getting it into conversation, most of the people I've met who went there wouldn't risk the hint being missed ;)

I got the 'train down' to uni in London!

pukes on fiery cock.

That's Nadine's job

She'll be great on that as all she talk is pure shite.

Hard to keep up but whatever happened to Michelle Mone, time to draw a line under it and move on?

She's a dick and deserves it like the rest of them.

100% but wouldn’t be too surprising if it all just melts away

Boris Johnson was told to stop seeking Richard Sharp's "advice about your personal financial matters" days before announcing him as BBC chairman

Oh
So surprised
Almost like it could have been a conflict of interest but personal interests took precedence
Who’d have thought it

Jeremy Hunt tells Sky News that having rich successful business people in govt is beneficial: "The idea that millionaires can't empathise is nonsense. People can't help being poor, but a ship needs to be steered by accomplished naval officers, not ratings."

“So, Jeremy, how is being steered by accomplished naval officers going?”

That’s the issue, it will. The steam will run out and folk will forget and she’ll be another one that milked it and got away scot free.

From what has happened in recent times, I fear that you’re absolutely right

Seems unlikely tbh.

Zahawi sacked for serious breach of ministerial code

Really? We had no idea.

Impressive show of strength from Sunak.

Zahawi: sacking from ministerial role is insufficient. Whip should be withdrawn and he should be told to resign as an MP. Won't happen, of course. Sunak won't want to suffer a by-election defeat.

He's going to have to sack Raab soon too, apparently he was waiting to do them both together for some reason.

Raab next for serial bullying?

That would be a "cabinet reshuffle" rather than a sacking and therefore ok. Possibly?

If he wants to get shot of all the ones who deserve sacking at once, he should just do a reshuffle the whole lot out. Only he couldn't fill the table with a bunch who are in any way credible, competent and not howling at the moon.
