"we'll change the things that need changing and that's all we'll change": the paSUKification of post-brexit politics 2021

Better be juicy this Javid jabber

Just before #PMQs. Opposition benches packed to the rafters. Tory benches half empty. Whips, reportedly, stalking corridors trying to herd MPs in. ~AA

I'm glad Johnson has some fight in him

send him there keep him there

Conservative MP Tim Loughton asks Boris Johnson: "Does the Prime Minister think there are any circumstances in which he should resign?"

Johnson replies that he would resign if he couldn't defend the Ukrainian people. #PMQs

Wow, what a crap answer!

He's clearly under instructions to mention Ukraine in any answer he gives.

Gove out is blood, let’s go

Michael Gove is out, according to a number of MHCLG sources

cartoons abt uk politics whomst r bad cartoons (but for once kinda funny despite being by peter fkn brookes)

they should have added "Bobson Dugnutt" on that letter, just for the lols

more respect for the five-on-one-letter tactic than the one-an-hour tactic

it's all garbage tho

Peter Bone and Michael Fabricant are ready to take on as many portfolios as Johnson wishes to give them

"it's all garbage"

was just talking to an NHS worker on the subject of diminishing mental health services and she said pretty much the same about this nonsense. People that see vital services getting shredded and their job becoming harder and more futile know it won't make any difference. Especially as there is no alternative.

but gazza... chicken... fishing rod... number 10 etc XD XD XD

Hard to laugh at the "banter" from crap centrist voices when it is partly their fucking fault for not getting behind the one chance we had at someone decent getting into power.

someone has made a screenshot thread of countless posh liberals making the same Gazza joke! They are the fucking worst.

Like yeah it's nice to see some folk drop out but they're all going to land in cushy consulting jobs, meanwhile over a decade of austerity means my local authority is relying on charity organisations to provide essential mental health services. It's all theatre and feels so removed from any real consequences now.

Otm, but ofc it’s ok for us to do it 🤗

Be funny if he scorched the whole thing but there is nothing that parliament can offer to people beyond the abyss.

Well-placed source convinced Boris Johnson won’t quit, even if the 22 change the rules, and he loses a VONC.

Instead, he’ll claim he has a mandate from 14m voters, and will threaten to force an election - but not before deselecting everyone who voted against him.

Hearing that Paul Gascoigne has turned up at Downing St saying that having a dark moment from his days of addiction & mental illness constantly referenced as a hilarious joke is a source of constant pain for him

Boris to rally his supporters to march on the Houses of Parliament, shouting "Hang Gove", or get tae fuck

Seriously though, I hope the worthless scumbag does try everything in his power to stay in office, it'll be hilarious.

xxp one of the mainstays of Tory policy has been "creating an atmosphere of hostility for LGBT+ people", this guy should be happy!

et tu Nadhim etc.

**Nadhim Zahawi** is in the delegation of cabinet ministers about to tell the prime minister to go, I'm told

— Henry Zeffman (@hzeffman) July 6, 2022

Asked if he accepts what Simon McDonald said in his letter yesterday, Johnson says he does.

He says he was briefed about the allegations against Pincher when he was a Foreign Office minister. But they could not find a record of that in No 10.

Q: But you would remember an allegation of sexual assault?

Johnson says that is not who he would characterise the allegation.

no shit

Suave.

Wow. @BorisJohnson finally confirmed something he has previously ducked repeatedly. Asked by @Meg_HillierMP whether he met ex-KGB spy Alexander Lebedev without officials when he was Foreign Secretary he replies: "I probably did."

— Paul Waugh (@paulwaugh) July 6, 2022

Zahawi is such a ruthless political operator.

AKA an arsehole

**Nadhim Zahawi** is in the delegation of cabinet ministers about to tell the prime minister to go, I'm told

it's funny that Zahawi is presumably going to break Javid's record for shortest term as chancellor (I guess this was going to be the case anyway, but if he can manage under 24 hours then that's probably unbeatable for the foreseeable future, right?)

actually, I think Iain Macleod was chancellor for a shorter time than Javid, but still over a day though

Think Zahawi will be in the role until they can elect a new PM, so idk a few weeks probably.

I was thinking if Johnson manages to cling on for a bit longer and replaces Zahawi with someone else who's not calling for him to resign, but that's looking less likely now I suppose

PM is not denying he said “all the sex pests are supporting me”. This is painful

Boris to meet with the Queen to break-up Parliament.

**Queen actually dies**

Please Ishtar, the only thing I ask of this is that Boris reminds Truss, Patel, Zahawi, Dorries that they are all total shit and would never be within a mile of the cabinet without his egocentric wrecking

How strange? He's been telling us he doesn't do face to face negotiations https://t.co/NhB9pBk6ZT

Seriously though.

Imagine if the Queen died right now

— Jason Okundaye (@jasebyjason) July 6, 2022

Queen is never dying and Johnson will be PM forever

thats right

That opinion could last as long as Zahawi at no 11 xp

Lizo will make it past 100

Queen is already dead and Boris should take hostages
