like the queen this thread will never die: in which we ALL resign (ourselves to disgusting miseries to post-boris politics 2022)

Wallace and Scromit

Can’t wait to find out who a few thousand mummified nazi freaks think should rule us

Just read a newspaper for that

Laura K, with great solemnity: I’m hearing the bloodied entrails in conservative hq have produced a result…the winner’s about to emerge…oh it’s the reanimated corpse of Enoch Powell! I don’t fancy Labour’s chances against that!

Daily Mail editorial the next day begins with “Is the new Tory leader too WOKE for today’s world?”

lol

I’m out of touch, I thought lk had fucked off by now

Oh she has, but like the spectator garden parties she is eternal

Yeah, he had all that suspiciously ready...

Xpost

(xp) If only COVID was still rampant.

I really despise the way Tory leadership contests are drawn out over multiple rounds. They should have one vote and the candidate who gets most votes wins. FPTP only for the plebs apparently!

coming soon, Helen Lewis on why "levelling up" should be more landed gentry inclusive

more like Helen Lewis on why levelling up is an attack on women's sex-based rights

Look at this cunt.

Of all the things you could criticise the current Conservative Party for, “people from ethnic minorities can’t do well in it” strikes me as a tough one to sustain.

Another tell the truth/cut government to the bone/kick the woke truther.

I was going to call her the "let them eat culture war candidate" but there are at least two of them in the race already. Like all political claims to tell bold truths, it prefaces a recitation of cliché and bromide – in which the median Tory member will feel very much at home. https://t.co/ch2yOxT1pj

it might be true to say that Conservative MPs as a whole are more ideologically diverse than the PLP at this point

of course they're all terrible ideologies but still

none of the ethnic minority Tory MPs have been treated as badly as Apsana Begum. Labour are given more leeway by the media to be racist, as long as they are left-wing MPs.

of course it's also a factional thing as well with her ex-husband involved

but still the islamophobia in the PLP is possibly even worse than in the Tories. I mean subjecting your own voters to racist slurs in a by-election has left a legacy that will be around for a while.

The Apsana Begum treatment is misogynist as well as racist, like the party has sided with her abusive husband over her. It’s entirely indefensible.

it's a scandal and there is barely any coverage and seeing Labour members parroting the party line on it is sick making.

Especially when you compare it to the coverage Luciana Berger got.

Luciana Berger is also a red princess, so there’s that too (her great uncle was some Lab grandee).

Ben Wallace not standing for the leadership. Who will racists vote for now?

Ben Wallace has a track record of posting positive things about Jeremy Corbyn in 2015!

He could never have withstood scrutiny of these scandalous statements!

I don't think that one tweet over Corbyn made over five years ago is the reason he is not running.

Berger situation not comparable IMO. Whatever you may think of her, she was subject to antisemitic harassment from white supremacists, several of whom were jailed for doing so. I believe her when she says the party didn’t do enough to support her - that goes back to the time she was first elected, because if there’s one thing that remains true, it’s that the Labour Party is truly awful at supporting any of its MPs. She also called out Alistair Campbell for the antisemitic posters when she was going out with Blair’s son, so it’s never been something she’s stayed quiet on. Do I think everything she says was in good faith? No. But I think it’s easy to see if you look back as far as 2005, when she was calling Blair’s Labour out, that antisemitism is (obviously) extremely personal to her and something she feels strongly about. If I felt I wasn’t getting support from my political home during a time of harassment, idk if I’d be necessarily fucked to stand up for them, you know?

I don't think that one tweet over Corbyn made over five years ago is the reason he is not running.

My prediction now is that Sunak & Mordant will be the final two, with Sunak winning the MPs handily, but Mordant easily winning among members (because they are racists) - Truss could also be the other contender but she will fuck it up somehow.

mordaunt will win bcz

(a) name ripped straight from pages of british fantasy fiction (morgoth, maugrim, you know the rest)
(b) the unprecedented alphie write-in vote

I’m not sure how Truss will cope with the full spotlight of a leadership campaign, God help us all if she does.

Mordaunt will win if she gets to the final two, unless the other person is Raab.

I suspect Alphington isn't the only one with a conflicted crush on Mordaunt. lol at the autocorrect !

#horny4penny

they tried to make me vote for Raab, but i said no, no, no

alphingtons his name now, the alg has spoken

We will both be off to the gulag soon, Calzino (and rightly so) xps

as long as it's Mordaunt putting the handcuffs on me and roughly bundling me into the back of the gulag wagon .. at least I'll be able to take that memory with me lol!

absolutely shocked at this display of left horniness for arch Tories

Well, that's torn it.
