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

when you had one policy but that felt a bit excessive

At least one council, Cherwell in Oxfordshire, where labour preferred to allow tories to continue with a minority administration rather than coalition with the green party, there may be other examples

if they win the next GE the LAB government will continually be using the Truss bomb/economically ruinous Tories excuse for not having any significant policies and the hopelessly inert shitshow that will unfold. I'm scaling back on any effort required on GE days, most likely for the rest of my life.

Nine minutes. brilliant.

In a few years the government -- whoever that is -- will pass tens of billions to mitigate climate change.

Ed Miliband only still in shadow cabinet so they can have fun clowning him like this

time for a new No Sex Offenders party to take the nation by storm

at this rate the next Labour conference will have to be hosted in an open prison

Oh has he knighted himself?

I am not even getting any satisfactory schadenfreude from the Dorries snub, just execute the lot of them - including the Labour ones.

New thread time

Dorries stood down because she knew Boris was going to.

xp title suggestions?

So Boris takes over Dorries' seat? Or the MP for Henley-on-Thames takes a Russian oligarch style dive out of a window?

He’s Uxbridge & South Ruislip since 2015

Well remembered bit of Boris lore though

Yes but he very much would prefer to be the MP for Henley again.

my thread title would involve Sakuranomics but hey

"I take my responsibilities seriously. I did not lie," would be lovely to see in Site New Answers every day

I don't understand the Dorries arrangement. She is not included on the honours list to avoid a byelection and then stands down anyway.
Obviously some deal has been made, but it just seems like she gaining absolutely nothing from it.

xp I’m into it
