Throughout my lifetime the Conservative party has always had a sticking plaster over its European infected wounds.

Cameron had a peak at the pus seeping from the edges, Johnson ripped it off.

There is only so much salt and vinegar they can pour it whilst in power.
Yup. What happens after the next election will be a delight to behold.
They'll sort themselves out though. They've been doing it for more than 300 years.

I had a listen to R5 this morning when they kept going live to Sunak expecting a bloodbath with questions about the resignation 'honours' list. That didn't happen so we got a lengthy listen to his views on AI and innovation.

I was struck by how professional and plausible he sounds. Fluent, confident, yes hubristic, but impressive. Very much like Blair. I even think I detected the odd glottal stop.

As long as he avoids the aggressive bluster he's been using against Starmer in Parliament (and even if he doesn't) he's likely to have those tories who found Johnson a bit much flocking back.

The question is how much the Johnson gang decides to hammer him. Any whiff of Sunak having been a willing and complicit member of the Johnson gang in the past is likely to be used by the Johnson gang to discredit him. If Sunak decides to face them down, the blond piglet in particular, it may well help him. A great deal.

Interesting times?

Ah. I find his stuff very funny and he certainly knows his area of France
Oh yes, he spun out a great story about Brexiters living in France & the swans etc, but was called out on it. He blocked everyone and then started again. I was one of those blocked even though I’d never disparaged him. I found him very funny, too.
I would take everything he tweets with a pinch of salt.

Bath, Somerset.
This barrister is ripping into Rees-Mogg. It’s a good thread to read.


The hypocrisy of Brexiters like Rees-Smugg is as limitless as it is nauseating.

They repeatedly argued for the importance of reclaiming and restoring 'parliamentary sovereignty', yet when Parliament votes in a way that they don't like, they express utter contempt for the symbol of British democracy.

Any decision which goes against them is attacked as a conspiracy, revenge by the 'liberal elite, a witch-hunt, or 'Wokery'.

Clearly resorting to Trumpian tactics - play the poor likkle victim, while viciously discrediting and smearing critics and opponents.

Not sure why, but I decided to watch Nadine Dorries with Piers Morgan, she's absolutely unhinged.

Claiming isn't going to the HOL due to Class discrimination!!!!
she might have a point, so little class they couldn't stand her.

more likely she was never on the list for a peerage, as she was listed for a Dame. she's been misled to believe the HOL was rejected.

She was on the list for a peerage. HOLAC rejected 8 peerages from Johnson’s list.

In a way it is. She has none.
