The fall of the Tory party

Not a moment too soon:

Typical of the man that he deprives us of the satisfaction of seeing him lose his seat on election night.

Rest assured he knows his political career is over.

If there was a biggest U.K. Cunt award he’d be near the top.

Of a big inverted pyramid

TV, radio, investment banking, shadowy think-tank.

The world is his oyster. I hope he gets the shits.

Signs of full on in-fighting and self-devouring of the government.

Supporters of BJ are threatening to organise and obstruct Rishi's government if he doesn't intervene to save DePffefeil from destruction via the hands of his own legal team, paid for by ... the government.

It's absolutely delicious, isn't it?

Apart from it being us, the populace, who suffer everything they do and bankroll them. Venal arseholes.

I wonder if they'll be able to marshall more supporters than they managed against the NI protocol bill, that was rather sad and pathetic.

I don't think we're far off Labour being able to use Johnsons name in the same way the tory try an use Corbyn's.

(edit. sorry Bearlegged, didn't mean to @ you)

us who ... bankroll them

I actually don't mind paying for a bit of Tory self destruction, it's a great spectacle when it kicks off properly

The aim seems to be to have Sunak putting out so many fires daily that he can't create policy or govern. Doesn't matter if it is about a covid party or speeding fine.

Lets not forget that Sunak is also currently under investigation for 2 ministerial breachs of ethics, its hard to keep up.

Nothing to see here for Braverman. But I expect that's a considerable "Now shut the fuck up" from to her from Sunak.

This article is hilarious. Apparently we should feel sorry for Tory MPs because they will lose their seats at the next election?

If they weren’t such a disaster for the country, and, on the whole, such objectionable cunts, we possibly might?

No idea why the guardian are giving him a platform, lolz I assume.

Plus they get their nice little parachute payments and gold-plated (at a bare minimum) pensions...

Graun taking the write-an-article-most-readers-will-be-angry-about approach, most often used by other publications?

Think of all the fruit picking opportunities.

Also.

Setting aside my cynicism, we shouldn’t just dismiss Raab’s stated reason: he does have young children, and it can’t be easy having your dad being a hate figure

He could avoid being a cunt?

Boris Johnson has sacked the lawyers he wasn't paying for

He’s hit the panic button?

Boris Johnson has sacked the lawyers he wasn't paying for

Because they followed the protocols they were supposed to?

Bloke down the pub reckons Camilla was at the Abba party.

There were often claims of journalists and political editors not reporting the parties because they were, or knew of others, in attendance. The spotlight on Johnson overshadowed the actual story in the end.

Schofield and Willoughby were there too. Alongside Captain Tom's ghost.

The Telegraph taking it well

I've seen it mentioned that Sue Gray was really trying to give Boris an easy ride but the powers of this enquiry to get evidence is something else entirely. If the chair thinks you are holding anything back that might even be tangentially related to a line of enquiry that's a criminal offence.
