The funniest WhatsApp exchange of all time, in which some carpet-bitingly mad Tory MPs froth at the mouth, before committed Christian Steve Baker deletes cabinet minister Nadine Dorries, who is also mad, from the group, declaring ‘enough is enough’. There is no happier Xmas.
If there is any lockdown I want to spend it in a Tory MP WhatsApp group. So much love for these messages.
Baker then did an emoji. ❤️
The misspelling of Dorries means one member of this group didn’t enter her name correctly when he/she added Nadine as a contact in his/her phone. Her name will appear as the phone’s owner entered it. This explains why some versions have it correct. And that there are TWO leakers.
Is there a collective noun for Tory Whatsapp group leakers 🤔
Every cemetery in England in 40 years’ time will be full of gravestones saying ‘Died on the hill of claiming Brexit was a success’.
Is this a metaphor
What I really hope happened next in WhatsApp is that Nadine blocked Steve.

Because it’s undeliverable, and always was. Especially by someone of such jingoistic mediocrity.

Bye then. 👋

Like every Brexit negotiator we’ve had, he leaves behind a trail of mess and distrust, and bewildered allies across the channel. It remains the stupidest thing a country has ever done to itself. #BrexitReality #BrexitHasFailed
At least the Tories will be able to have Lord Frost’s leaving party during a lockdown, the way they like it.

I see the lockdown fan club is full of Christmas cheer.

Normal, decent folk.
Mayor of London has said the vast, vast majority of hospital cases are unvaccinated. I'm so done with these rabid, stupid, foul people. They're the reason for all this panic about strain on health services. They are literally what is causing the restrictions to which they object.

We are all from Shropshire now.

Oh my goodness. 🎉

Now imagine what could happen if Labour and the Lib Dems built a proper strategic partnership across the country (unlike last night). The Tories would be out for a generation, probably more. #NorthShropshire #ThePartyIsOver
I mean, this was proper, solid right wing Tory Brexit country just two years ago. None of this mess is irreversible. None of it. #ToryBrexitDisaster #ToryShambles #ThePartyIsOver

If this was the Blitz the PM would be saying “basically keep lights on if you have to read, maybe you’ll read a bit less, perhaps you won’t. If you’re going to have a fireworks party it’s sort of up to you if you get bombed, buy a gas mask though, if you can”.

Utterly hopeless.
Dr David Nabarro of the @WHO is absolutely raising the alarm on @SkyNews right now. Quite terrifying actually. Feel quite sick.
I think Britain is about to find out the true cost of voting in populist nationalists who think individual responsibility is an appropriate policy remedy during a global pandemic.

At least they won’t want to vote in any more of them ever again, there is that.

This is madness.

Senior Tories explaining the illegal parties.

I see the line is he joined briefly, virtually. Just a reminder there are at least 7 known party events. This is about the whole regime, not one Xmas quiz master. Also, his denial based on being advised that parties he didn't know about were within the rules is clearly a big lie.

“I was also furious to see that clip”, says man who we now know hosted a big quiz party against the rules that meant dying people saying goodbye to their families on FaceTime.

He’s gotta go. Now.
#JohnsonMustResign
Yes, definitely. When you’re working really hard on a crisis that means people are suffocating to death alone over Christmas it’s so normal to suddenly break into a spontaneous quiz whose contestants have been invited in advance and questions carefully prepared, prizes bought.
