The Inevitable U-Turn….

[FatticusInch]

Signals that with Mrs Flip-Flop at the helm the Tory government boat is holed well and truly below the water line and will sink faster than a concrete kayak.

Kwarteng will get the Spanish archer treatment shortly, now all we need is a GE for the electorate to deliver their own damning assessment too.
Bye bye, BlunderTruss.

God thats a relentless list.

[FatticusInch]

From a relentless backer of the Tory party who doesn’t vote Tory no less?
Too pre-occupied at the implosion of the government and Party right now I’d surmise, it’s all a bit much.
They’re suffering collectively today at the news too that ‘the Donald’ will never disgrace public office again with his presence.
There’s a lot for them to take in over the weekend.

Number 10&11 get through more staff than MacDonalds. :0)

[FatticusInch]

Pickfords in London must be rubbing their hands with glee, more overtime in the offing! Lol.

[pimplyteen]

I don't think they've finished unpacking yet, the cat going dizzy.

Ah but I love my country, so much so that I served it, took the Queens shilling, signed on the dotted line and wrote a blank cheque up to and including the value of my life.
What I am gleeful about is seeing the demise of the biggest bunch of sycophantic, lying, law-breaking and inept bunch of clowns who have dragged this country and it’s values through the mud.
The last 3 years has been about greed, lack of accountability in public office, jingoistic bigotry and a distinct ignorance of values.
This government has thrown this country to the dogs, it’s standing in the world is minimal, our constituents and democracy made to look a laughing stock around the world, our Prime Ministers mocked by one and all.
One person alone is responsible for all of that with his disgraceful behaviour prior to and during office.
So why not wake up and smell what you’re shovelling? The Tories of the last 3 years are leaving a distinctly bad smell hanging over these Isles, they need replacing ASAP so we can get back to calling ourselves Great Britain, as opposed to just Britain.

Thanks for the endorsement, Pimplyteen.

[pimplyteen]

Wellcome! Its not that folk can't see it, they don't want too. Head in the sand if you like, and hope it will go away.

so did you make the first of Boris's honours lists, Fatticus?

Alas, he told me I wasn't oligarchic enough

[FatticusInch]

I did wonder if Dacre might be in there but even Johnson isn’t that stupid(only just), especially in light of the recent case brought against the Daily Mail.

Thankfully nothing for Dorries either, that would’ve been a step too far. She’ll have to make do with a signed photo for now, until he reverts to type.

Chris Bryant is of course correct though, any awards given by Johnson ought to be put on hold until the PSC has sat and delivered its findings.
