From the high of 5 minutes ago to the crushing low as i realise Raab might be PM by the end if the day. Or whoever replaces him.
Not happy about Raab but at least heāll be under significant pressure.
Raab is an absolute twat. Couldnāt find Great Britain on a map of the UK
Hidden clause?
Iām wondering if itās worth holding back from pouring Stella on my Cornflakes.
Yeah heās not quitting as PM. Just from the party. Itās gonna get even messier. Crazy watching an implosion like this. Itās quite fun to watch from a distance
Woman on Five Live insisting that if Labour were in power it would be worse. Heās a good man because he āgave out all the moneyā and if Labour were in power they wouldnāt have any of ātheā money to give out.
The state of this country.
Yeah thatās all they have . The massive labour āwhat ifā . They donāt live in reality
These people are just desperately clinging on to their old view that the Tories are the party of stability and strong financial know how, mightāve been vaguely true once, I think, but theyāre just a shower now and even these people need to admit it.
Whilst I disagree that Labour would have done a worse job, I do think any government would struggle to maintain stability at the moment. The repercussions of Brexit are just too massive. Keeping everyone happy is impossible. Factionalism is too great an issue. The difference is that the main divisions that the Conservatives have had to deal with are internal to the party because they still have the ability to form a majority government. Realistically, I think Labour cannot do that at the moment and would therefore have to appease the SNPs, which would pose its own problems.
Edit: obviously this is not to downplay the atrocious job Johnsonās government have done.
Pincher by name, Pincher by nature, heās only gone and got Boris the PM job pinched off him!
Of course itās going to be a case of, meet the new boss(Michael Fabricant), same as the old boss(Michael Fabricant). Even May had massive Michael Fabricant moments and she is seen as one of the nicer Tories!? Boris is going and a dark, embarrassing era in U.K politics is over (hopefully).
Imagine how fucked we are if Raab gets it.
Canāt see theTories voting for him to take over, after backing Boris so hard in the face of everything, while they tried to oust Boris. Itāll not be forgotten or forgiven. Plus heāll be seen as a left over and reminder from Borisās Premiership that theyāll want swept under the carpet.
I hope so. Sunak and Javid didnāt resign first for no reasonā¦
The language in their resignations is so self serving, so many described his position as untenable, that they no longer thought he would survive. Not that they thought he was wrong or a massive Brian, just that he was done and they wanted to get out as it was no longer beneficial to them to be associated. They all need to go and never come back.
Yeah this what we were trying to tell you m8
There was a Tory wanker on the news yesterday who was banging on about Corbyn hating Britain and being a Marxist. Even if that was true, not really relevant anymore is it.
True but Brexit didnāt really have anything to do with his downfall.
It started with Owen Patterson and then Partygate destroyed him.
Once the polls showed people would rather vote for shit in a tub he was doomed. The protacted political death as he just refused to go has been delicious icing on the cake.
Isnāt the only reason Boris is staying on till autumn that itāll be the summer break soon and they canāt vote in a new leader until they return after? You never hear anything from politicians anyway, while theyāre away on their school holidays, I mean summer break. So itāll still feel like heās gone straight away still.
I love the half arsed caption on this one. Just like āyeah Iām out tooā
