sounds like a win-win to me

So happy to see this today, and that Uā€™ve posted it here! Bravo to both of U, esp ā€œMr Pieā€ !

ā€¦the vapid flap of skin that was liz truss.

Thick as mince.

[He refers to mince pies. Also Cockerney rhyming slang: mince (pies) = eyes. e.g., ā€œFeast yer minces on that!ā€]

She was the inevitable bottom of the brexit barrel.

There never was any ā€˜taking back of control,ā€™ except that of the lunatics taking control of the asylum.

ā€¦then she swoops in, kills the queen, crashes the markets, and then fucks off.

The man and his work are pure class.

They are not candidates quite yet, there has to be at least 100 muppets prepared to sell their souls (as if they ever had one) supporting them before they can be considered (Sunak has apparently crossed that threshold). Johnson has 44 declared (and there could be more of the reptiles who are not prepared to admit their support publicly) and Mordaunt 21 (numbers as reported 9 hours ago ā€“ there are still about 200 to go).

I donā€™t think Dennis the Peasant would be a supporter of any of the last four prime ministers to start with.

OK, heā€™s an anarcho-syndicalist so he wouldnā€™t support any prime minister, but the last lot have found a new layer below the bottom of the barrel that they can scrape, and I think there are at least 150 Labour MPs who I would rather have as leader of the opposition/future PM than Sir Keith.

How about sortition from the electoral register? It couldnā€™t pick anyone worse, could it?

Iā€™m sure the riots in the streets will change their mind about that.

(Not that Iā€™m advocating for rioting, but damnā€¦who wouldnā€™t want to riot after all of these rounds of musical chairs without any input from the public?)

Sunak has announced his candidacy.
Johnson is still to announce (only has 55 revealed nominations), but Rees-Mogg says he will.
Mordaunt seems out of the running.

So we get Johnson back then. Thereā€™s no way the party membership is voting for Sunak because racism.

ā€¦ and what rough beast
its hour come round at last
slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or ratsā€™ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to deathā€™s other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to deathā€™s other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
