I love the fact that through all this pure madness, Jacob Rees-Mogg is still earnestly running a department looking for Brexit opportunities, like a sectioned Dickensian undertaker who has accidentally swallowed a flask of embalming fluid. #itshappening#ToryShambles#JohnsonOut
Truss still completely silent is she a hologram.
No interest in any ‘vox pops’ with people who voted for all this, to be honest.
Has anyone noticed all the Boris bots with numbers after their egg avatars have fallen completely silent. No one is running the bot farm.
Far right born again Christian head case Steve Baker has, despite being ‘implored’ by so many to become PM, already abandoned his leadership bid and thrown his goatee (sorry, weight) behind the towering intellectual giant that is our future Tory PM, Suella Braverman.
His bid to ‘seize power’ is clearly going swimmingly.
Braverman has always been pure gold. Here’s a flashback to her ERG brilliance.
Then we can debate actual issues, instead of hollow personality cults.
There is a big window of opportunity to revive some civility in politics, particularly as Labour has returned to a team of grown ups. This means calm hands on the tiller, competent management, and an end to relentless culture warfare. It’s time to cool the temperature.
Tories I know (across the spectrum of right wing opinion) support this. There is a strong sense that however right or centrist the next leader, they will want to distance themselves as much as possible from this appallingly embarrassing and shameful episode in our history.
Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns, always a vocal supporter of coup orchestrator Donald Trump, shouting at the assembled crowds like Imelda Marcos at a gathering of tax fraud inspectors. An absolutely insufferable imbecile, without a milligram of humility or dignity.
Rees-Mogg is on @Channel4News talking about Harold Macmillan and Lord Salisbury as if he’s just woken up stoned off his tits on snuff in the middle of a grouse moor, having lost his way to the funeral of a Victorian work house owner.
By contrast, @RhonddaBryant was absolutely superb, as you’d expect.
