How bad can it get in Westminster (and beyond)

[malumbu]

Thought I'd start a conversation with myself now that Cat has probably gone back to Australia and Steppenwolf and she/he have stopped arguing/discussing Brexit.

So most are probably in agreement that the current Government has been a shambles. But it doesn't seem to get any better. Sunak has not stopped the rot. Thinking about the Kuenssberg programme on Sunday. Could Heaton Harris done a worse job? He got drawn into the follow up to the interim report on Johnson misleading parliament. And continues to back Johnson up. If there was ever a time to throw a colleague under the bus this was it. Not sure whether this would have done the current PM any damage, as most of the Tory members and much of the country think that Johnson is a 'good egg'. For the sake of balance Jonathan Ashworth is not an inspiring speaker, and could have simply given a proper answer to questions on Covid - here are the things that the Labour party leaned - and Sue Grey - I fully believe that proper process was followed, this is a non-story. But he did not fumble to the same extent as H-H when put on the spot.

PS Cat, what happened to the leaving party?

[malumbu]

True to form I appear to be talking to myself. Listening to Suella today perhaps it is the will of the people to have Gary Linekar as PM - I expect his politics chime with most of us, unlike the other peoples' fave Jezza Clarkson, and his personal life is already well known and such scandal didn't do Johnson any harm.

We still have Internet in australia😂

And I'm always up for a good brexit argument.

I'll be honest I ran out of time for a party.

Thought I'd check in, and it has seemed very quiet on the current affairs thread since I left! Probably no bad thing I guess!

This part of the site died mate, perhaps you may wish to come back or at least comment on Aussie politics, I did like your politician that dressed like Tina Turner who was raising money for a charity.

You've missed a cold and wet week, but weather is bizarre after a Xmas heatwave. In other news I saw an repeat of a 2021 episode of Pointless today that must have had the most stupidest contestants on ever, you always expect a couple but this was all eight.

What's your news?

(PS Brexit is still pants and we are now moving into a manufactured culture war in advance of next year's elections. There's also lots of reactionary stuff on car restrictions (talking about Nextdoor.com wouldn't possible comment on EDF)).

Edited, oh I thought this was a personal message/DM

[Spartacus]

Are you two having a long distance bromance ?

[Sue]

😂😂😂

[malumbu]

Just for clarity why is this a bromance? A rather gender specific term. What's wrong with a virtual love-in, although it looks like whatever our gender, sadly it looks like will never meet.......

You wanna get yourself transported mate. Try nicking a few tinnies from your favourite offie, that should do it.

Thinking of Richard Sharp's resignation Friday and Dominic Raab the precious week brought me back to an early football fans' website (Everton).  This used a profanity checker that replaced swear words with Liverpool players.  Top trump in four lettered words was 'Souness'.  If somebody was behaving badly they were therefore a complete Souness.  So what rude word would Raab replace, and ditto for Johnson (cock being an obvious one of course), Braverman, Patel, Raab and Sharp??  For balance we could have some SNP MSPs,  Lib Dems and Labour mps, and it would be interesting whether Farage would be top trump.  And thinking of top Trump if you break wind in public rather than asking the vicar if he/she wanted more tea you could simply apologise for doing a Donald

Admin, is this something you could set up?

[PS totally in jest]

 

[malumbu]

Oh joy, Donald Johnson and Boris Trump in one day.  I'm sure the fun will not last.

Absolute classic front page. What fun!

[Sephiroth]

The absolute state of Johnson's "defence" this morning, and to watch the same weasely acolytes pipe up with their agreed lines
