brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

and yeah i read it like two days ago. my feelings of 'ooh we'll get 'em now!' were rapidly replaced by feelings of 'citation needed', 'this is spurious' and 'i don't see anything really wrong with this' together with a deep mistrust of whoever compiled it

n.b. i don't doubt the the house of commons is rife with sexual misconduct

Gavin Williamson? This is reminds me of sitting down to watch a Scotland game and realizing you have no idea who some of the players are.

He has recent form for making up Gove is gay rumours and referring to TM as a "charisma free bitch".

Stoked for the madness with this guy tbh...

The idea that Theresa May had been forced to make Gavin Williamson defence secretary to shore up her "weak" position was "strictly for the birds", Tory MP Nadim Zahawi has said.

Asked by the BBC if his (own) behaviour has always been of a standard expected of cabinet ministers, Mr Johnson replied: "You bet."

owls are good

mark s otm, let's not let owls be unfairly tarred by their entirely circumstantial links to rightwing politics

more "actually gavin williamson has some good qualities" wikipedia sidenotes: "He was criticised by parliamentary authorities for bringing his pet tarantula Cronus to the Houses of Parliament.[13]"

Lord Palmer says he's wearing a tie which says "British Meat" all over it

This is the most Brexit thing I've ever heard.

Let's cut to the chase - the tie IS meat.

The BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, said the abuse and threats she faced were meant to try to silence her, as she spoke out for the first time about the subject since she was assigned a bodyguard during the Labour party conference.

was LK hammer not also assigned a bodyguard for conservative party conference?

No, only the Labour Party has problems with misogyny. I think.

There will be a lot of Tesco Value Machiavellis jockeying for position in the Tory party over the next few weeks, most of which we'll never have heard of before, but this Williamson guy looks like he's going to be a treat.

saw a mini-bio on the Midlands local news this evening, he's certainly something

Tory MP on Gavin Williamson: "When a man keeps a pet tarantula it's because he doesn't have a better story to tell."

Whips are rarely popular but Williamson seems to be genuinely despised by a huge section of his own party.

that could be a recommendation

Listening to comments on Mair earlier, May has pissed off a lot of the party with this move. They are calling him Dick Cheney and he is widely despised. *pulls up deck chair*

sun story claiming fallon suggested leadsom warm her hands on his balls

I wonder to what extent Williamson's apparent oikishness fuels his colleagues' hatred. Everything I read and see about him makes him look the worst kind of climber

there is a 2nd list flying about apparently #justHookItToMyVeins

and this is a resignation matter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41853561

At this rate Tory MPs will only need to ask nicely for a Cabinet position in order to get one.

Or in Hunt's case don't even need to ask.

Not be mistaken with Boon ... nor a boon to humanity.

Williamson is one of them fun hippocrates that vote for austerity and then campaign against it in their own constituency. I think much of the hatred of him in the parliamentary party will be from MP's who previously found it galling enough to have one of Cameron's former bag carriers telling them to get in line and no queue jumping, showing his own 'go anywhere do anything attitude' towards party discipline. Creepy Nick Robinson was talking him up as future leader, because of his "Labour voting parents" + comprehensive school background.

Good grief that's completely moronic of Robinson who surely should understand how Tory leadership elections play out by now. Williamson has clearly and self-evidently shot his load too early here, it's not Machiavellian if everyone can see full well what you're up to, and I'd guess that he has about as much chance of getting the requisite number of Tory nominations as a hippo does.

just on initial impressions he gives out such a creepy vibe, i can't see the electorate warming to him at all. add in the tarantula and the owls and he just makes me think of ann widdecombe's famous quote about michael howard: "he has something of the night about him"
