"I guarantee it’d be a total fiasco!!!"

It is already a total fiasco, Bonzo. I cannot ever remember seeing any previous Government acting in such a shambolic way. Recently the tories seem to be trying to outdo each in fucking things up.

It will not be easy for the next government to sort out, whichever party it is.

Another one's gone, another one's gone, another one bites the dust.


For our America cousins Suella Braverman who was the Foreign Secretary has resigned.

Given that this is a senior position, as is the Chancellor of the Exchequer who resigned last week, it is a significant blow for the Prime Minister.

There are rumours that Truss's chief whip and deputy are also about to resign. It would seem that her position in untenable.

There is also a rumour that a revolving door is to be fitted to 10 Downing Street ...............

It has been reported that Liz Truss chased Morton through the lobbies to persuade her to stay on, thus missing the vote, and so initially being registered as having failed to support a confidence measure that she herself had called…

Hopefully, the fools who voted them into government in 2019 are beginning to realise the futility and stupidity of electing a party with no policies and no interest in the welfare of ordinary people, on the basis of nothing more than a three-word slogan.

If they are not breaking any laws then there is little wrong with that. The laws need changing but, as i have said before, neither party seems to have any intention of doing that.

Stolen from an Internet friend who has a lovely turn of phrase ?


"Bye then Loopy Liz aka Bullshit Betty.

Trussolini said she'd hit the ground on day one. It was the only thing she got right, and that was an accident.

In 44 days, this useless piece of tripe in a skirt, caused a financial crisis, cost the Bank of England tens of billions of pounds, increased inflation and mortgage rates and provoked a fist fight amongst her own MPs.

Ultimately, she was beaten by a lettuce, and quite convincingly.

What happens next is anyone's guess, but I suspect the Conservative Party is in a death spiral. Weird, when just a year ago, they looked untouchable.

If the UK was a small African country the army would have moved in by now."
