you take the wins you can getWhat a silly country this is. We're in a massive economic slump with the standard of living of many on the decline if not putting them into genuine poverty, but the thing that brings down the Prime Minister and the media's focus is on breaching some restrictions (such as being able to work with somebody but not socialise with them) which were and are ridiculous.
This is not to say by any means I don't accept that Johnson should go and what he did was wrong, it just feels pretty immaterial to me now (though I'm fortunate to not have been somebody who couldn't attend a loved ones funeral etc).
I'd be suspicious of Baker and the ERG loons, gawd knows who they have got lined up next....
Patel would have sent him to Rwanda.Doubt it. Not right wing enough for the Brexit loons.
Patel would have sent him to Rwanda.
Cooper would have abstained on the vote to do so.
By all accounts he’s currently polling to lose his seat to Labour. Having already lost a shit load of votes to labour in 2019 his motives may be more about him rather than Boris. If you were being sceptical.I'd imagine Baker himself fancies a crack at it.
I know, they've just had an opportunity to deal with it and failed in the Spring statement just a few weeks ago.The “we’ve got things to get on with like dealing with the cost of living” line isn’t standing up. Hot of the press from yesterday’s news that even the four big energy supplier’s are saying that the government aren’t doing enough to help with the cost of living it’s being reported that the government’s own work group tasked with dealing with the cost of living hasn’t met in 6 months.

Last time it was Covid or Brexit. Genius tactics to have a PM who lurches from one crisis to another so can never be removed because we’re always in the middle of a crisis.
The big 4 saying that actually there isn't a market for utilities at allThe “we’ve got things to get on with like dealing with the cost of living” line isn’t standing up.

Pfft. Details.The 'he's very busy dealing with the war/don't they know there's a war on?' line doesn't really work when he's cosplaying over in India and sucking up to a country that has refused to condemn Putin.
"You've broken the ministerial code - you should resign!"How can you constantly break the ministerial code (as PM!!) and not resign?
I agree that in the grand scheme of things he's got a rap sheet of worse things longer than your arm, but as seems to be the way it's the smaller things that stickWhat a silly country this is.

I’ll just make the point again. Sunak ruled out a windfall tax on energy companies to use to offset the energy price cap like most European countries because it would stifle investment. He never clarified investment in what but some clever sod on here (me) pointed out that it would stifle spend on the high street at the cost of this unspecified investment.
In unrelated news the excellent Dan Hodges
The country is spiralling uncontrollably.
He's styled everything else out in his career!Starting to think Boris might not actually be able to style this out. If his MP’s in marginals are panicking
The 'It's only a birthday cake' and 'he was only there for 9 minutes' arguments will look pretty stupid when he gets fined for attending a cheese and wine party.

Can't help but feel that was scripted for her by a member of staff to deliberately find out if she'd just repeat or spot the obvious errors.She's so, so bad.
The Ron Burgundy of the Tories. She will read what is on the teleprompter?Can't help but feel that was scripted for her by a member of staff to deliberately find out if she'd just repeat or spot the obvious errors.
He's my local MP the little weaselStarting to think Boris might not actually be able to style this out. If his MP’s in marginals are panicking
