So 30p Leenoch plans to go and live in the Orkneys (or Orkney Isles as he calls them) should something something Brexit...

As pointed out on Xitter there is a place there just right for him...

This really isn't very good.

The vast majority of private sector investment has nothing at all to do with the Government. Somebody investing in a better van isn't hanging on the word of Claire Coutihno or even Rishi Sunak. And the Labour money (however much of it is spent) would one presumes unlock a certain amount of private sector investment too.

And is that figure even reliable? £29bn business investment sounds a lot. That would be something like £1,500bn a year. That would be getting on for 60% of total GDP. Perhaps the cost of living crisis is a result of people chucking their money into business investment.

Priti here, showing the understanding of sovereignty that she brought to Brexit. "Hey, Government, reduce trade barriers that other places put on our exports"

Jenrick's absence form PMQs explained.

He was down Tradepoint, buying up their whole stock of whitewash.

Just in:

Times has reported Jenrick's resignation.

Word is that Jenrick is resigning. Apparently the bill isn't vile enough.

Man's a cunt.

Couldn't agree more.
She thinks he's a cunt as well.



See?

I’m extremely pleased that that slimey wee cunt Jenrick has resigned.

Let the schisms rip !

He's pitching for the Braverman vote after the election.

Truly the "Richard Hammond" of the ERG tendency.

So what are the odds of a Coup to unseat Sunak and install a replacement.

Let's all spare a thought for "Honest" Bob

Upgrade that to the "Ayrton Senna", and we have a deal.

Attempted? Possibly. Successful, I suspect low. The gobshite groups can make a nuisance of themselves, but don’t have the numbers. Only headbangers think Braverman is anything other than an incompetent lunatic, reflected in her absysmal performance in previous leadership votes. Public polls repeatedly show there’s nowhere near as much support for Rwanda than they make out. And winter is here. It’s cold, utility bills are still high, and due to get higher next year. People are paying them now with much higher mortgages they’re locked into for years. Getting a tiny number of people onto a plane at huge cost is increasingly about nothing more than bloody mindedness. It’s Sunak’s poll tax, and it’ll destroy them.

I like Chris Bryant's take on the Jenrick resignation. He says that he's not sure if Jenrick has resigned because the Rwanda policy is crazy or because it is not crazy enough.

Credit to Alicia, who increasingly looks like she became an MP about 30 years too late.

Somehow I’m not entirely convinced the Tory’s quite understand a TwitXter audience

Apart from anything, Starmer did this only a couple of months ago. They've deliberately forgotten because it doesn't fit their narrative.
