The Tories

[Paigntonian]

Why do Conservative Party members need six weeks to decide on who the new leader, and new PM, should be? Surely it's possible to members to make their minds up in a week?

The voting papers have to be sent out to their registered address; if they are away on business/holiday they need to be given time to receive and return them.

In Crosswords?
I was hoping it was going to be second letter U, ends in S.
Sounds like craft one might use on a river.

[bhg481]

Well, Paigntonian is puzzled, which is why he asked the question. Perhaps he's cross as well.

[Paigntonian]

bhg: You may have a point there. Not considered that.

[bobbinwales]

Its something they should be able to streamline for the future as its too slow but its not right to change longstanding timescales at short notice. But its a matter for the Tory members not for us, just as wouldnt expect Labour to suddenly change its voting rules due to outside pressure or social media comments

[Paigntonian]

Fatt: Wind you neck in. I am truly sorry that I may have made a very minor mistake. You have my sincere apologies if I offended your sensibilities.

[FatticusInch]

Let them take the full 6 weeks, it’ll really let the public see them for what they are as they tear each other asunder, whilst the smirking Downing St squatter fiddles as the country burns.

I missed voting in the last GE because my holiday prevented me from receiving my postal voting papers at a time when I could return them.

do you have any letters?

[FatticusInch]

Lol, no need for you to apologise Painty, glad to see your sense of humour bypass was successful!

One would surmise the way they’re running the country it might be French ones?

[Paigntonian]

Fatt: You're an unpleasant idiot.

[FatticusInch]

Lol, what was that about my sensibilities? PMSL.

[DTCwordfan]

I know that there are tensions between the two candidates but cross words, I am not so sure about?

Well, looks like Rishi is maybe going one peg down and Truss moved across from the Lib Dems so it’s a conundrum for the party as they cross swords?

[naomi24]

Is anyone actually following this race with any more than a passing glance?

[DTCwordfan]

yes, I am being paid for my views of the screenings!

[ichkeria]

Posted in “Crosswords”?

“How many letters?” was a question Graham Brady was being asked all the time until recently, so fair enough I say

[FatticusInch]

Lol at Ichkeria! Deserves BA, surely?

[naomi24]

As gawd, DTC! Couldn’t you get a more interesting job - flipping burgers in McDonald’s say? ;o)
