A resignation and Hunt has stuck the knife in. I expect a few members of the Cabinet (Truss especially) will secretly vote against him. Expect skeletons to emerge from cupboards in the coming weeks. Popcorn: Popcorn:

21 resignations at the last count. Let's hope it will soon be oer inished done
"At least 38 ministers and aides have quit since yesterday when Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak said they were resigning"
How many fecking ministers and aides are there? cussing:
Precisely! I wonder how many of them would actually be missed...? rubschin:

But wants to stay until the autumn so he can shred all the evidence and Carrie can take all that wallpaper
Kick him out now, Raab can be caretake for a couple of weeks

Agreed. He should be out today. I see Cummings has weighed in with a veiled suggestion that he would wreak havoc if left in Number 10

As loath as I am to follow you both off topic on another one of your 'Orange man bad' rants I have to ask, do you seriously think that Biden has proven to be a better choice given his track record to date?

Biden might be edging towards senility but, unlike Trump, he isn't a total fucking idiot.

Braverman would be useless at running a whelk stall, don't know nothing about Badenoch other than she doesn't know real politik if she thinks the Tory party membership will place a black woman as PM
Mordaunt is the only one that seems to have the ability and is not contaminated by sleaze or support of same

Wayciiiist. I don't anyone who puts "real politik" above real policies that help the country. Tory party membership might not be as parochial as you suggest. Mordaunt, unfortunately, has links to Bill Gates.

Maybe you need to get out more. 'What's in it for me' is becoming a dominant force in politics
And it's not racist to point out that a lot of Tories are somewhat less than committed to equal opportunities
Title: Re: Vote of no confidence
Post by: Barman on July 11, 2022, 06:08:11 PM
There's a difference between those that appoint ministers and candidates and rank and file membership
Looking at the ethnic mix of Tory MPs I'd suggest that the average Tory voter is far from racist and/or "somewhat less than committed to equal opportunities"...
Title: Re: Vote of no confidence
Post by: Steve on July 12, 2022, 09:35:18 AM
So?
It just means that the average Tory voter given a choice will tend to go for the whitest one. That not given a choice they will vote for the Tory candidate over the opposing party candidates does not disprove that

The average Tory voter, that I speak to in leafy Surrey, would happily vote for either as opposed to the entrenched stale, white men. Perhaps it is different in East Sussex, or perhaps you may just be projecting your own prejudices onto the electorate.
Oh, and I get out pobably a lot more than you do, working and conversing with hundreds, if not thousands of working people at Gatwick. Bit more than a clique doing 6 pin bowling.

Steve. A lot of us know you from GrumpyCunt, Grumpier Old Men and now this forum, We all know that, at the end of the day, you are a prancing prick that thinks your world view is sacrosant. The reality is, with your AMG and Lexus hybrid, you are probably as far removed from the reality as those other prancing pricks in all of Westmimster that didn't have to actually do the groundwork to get their positions.
I welcome anyone that puts the greater good against personal gain. Sneering at candidates is an ugly look and most unbecoming of someone who regularly makes valid points.

Look if you and TMR want to believe those voices that tell you I posted 'all those non-white faces on the green benches were forced on the local constituencies' feel free
But you'd both be wrong
And if you want to believe that the Tory party membership (not the same as Tory voters) that just 3 years ago massively voted in as leader an arse that likes public racist abuse is somehow going to be completely unbiased feel free. But it doesn't look likely does it.
