    But then we now live in a country so shallow many think Penny Mordaunt should one day be PM because she can hold a big sword still at a ceremony (and probably because she brings out the gimp in some men of a certain age).

    Not really sure what a “gimp” is but she scares the pants off me!

    Looking for a thread to put this one on, sent by my bro in law, this seemed the most
    appropriate. Quite well done, Tory fans can look the other way ……..

    A horse named Conservative ran in the 6.45 at Beverley. He ran out on the turn away from the stands and unseated his rider.

    Could it be symbolic?

    Is there any truth in the rumour that Boris is after Dorries’s seat?

    Boris has resigned as a MP, probably to concentrate on were the money is. Writing books like his memrise, in other words fiction. Rishi trying his best to deliver what’s promised and get net zero illegal immigration. Don’t know if its working though.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    “‘They lied. Repeatedly. They trashed the ministerial code”.’

    All of which is fact. Campbell, just like everyone else, is entitled, within reason, to post anything he likes.”

    Alistair Campbell accusing someone of being a liar.

    My irony alert indicator has just exploded.

    ‘Is there any truth in the rumour that Boris is after Dorries’s seat?’

    Given that the media is saying anything from ‘he’s finished’ to ‘he’s already planning a comeback’, I’d say nobody has a clue. And the Murdoch Sunday Times was one saying he’s unlikely to seek a new seat so it’s not all wishful thinking from the left wing corner of the press.

    Amid rumours World Of Sport wrestling returns on Saturday with Big Daddy v Giant Haystacks replaced by Big Boris v Little Rishi and the SNP having a few image issues, the question has to be asked: “Is it Starmer’s birthday?”

    Distinguishing between Starmer’s politics and those of Kenneth Clarke, Michael Heseltine (my all-time favourite Tory because he alone had the front to take down Thatcher) and David Cameron gets harder by the day and seeing as he’s now superglued himself to the centre ground like a middle-class protestor on the M25, how can he fail to win most seats now?

    Yon legal bloke’s got a two-yard tap in and if Starmer somehow puts the ball into Row Z it’ll be the biggest miss in history.

    I’ve always had HDLG down as a good judge so I just watched it.

    HDLG’s not wrong, it’s outstanding.

    Just as corbyn sunk Labour in 2019 so Boris will do the same to the tories. He really is a spoiled brat.

    “Just as corbyn sunk Labour in 2019 so Boris will do the same to the tories. He really is a spoiled brat.”

    Pretty obs what’s happening to me. Certain faction within the Tory Party will ultimately ‘sink’ its chances at next GE, quite deliberately. (As they already know the chance of even a slim Tory maj is fast fading).

    Then, Sunak’s crowd will be replaced by the Boris faction as BJ and his allies say that Sunak failed, so time for ‘us’ again. Cue the likes of Boris, Dorries, Rees-Mogg pulling the Tory strings post-next GE (even if they are not MPs by then).
    Hmm…..a revamped House Of Cards series, brought to you by Netflix? :wacko:

    Sounds plausible – the Johnson faction has zero moral compass, or even ultimate allegiance to its own Party, so a heavy defeat for Sunak would work to their post-Election Tory Party power-grab advantage.

    You’re so right Wilts, there has to be a mini series on this
    whole Debacle. There’s more skullduggery in this than Macbeth.

    I’ve found out what a “gimp” is:

    gimp
    [ɡɪmp]
    NOUN
    twisted silk, worsted, or cotton with cord or wire running through it, used chiefly as upholstery trimming.
    fishing line made of silk bound with wire.
