Apparently he thinks if Sunak isn’t replaced we’ll have a decade of decline under Starmer. Which I assume annoys him because he thinks decades of decline is a very Tory thing.

Simon Clarke has always been a Boris Johnson fan boy, and given that his article appeared in the Telegraph might suggest that it is a fairly well planned attack on Sunak's leadership.

Now I've stopped laughing, I wonder if this could be the start of Sunak walking out. He looks about as natural a campaigner as Theresa May.

Don't know if there's anyone in a grey suit to usher him off, like Alan Partridge ushering off the terrible ventrioquist. "Your performance is really poor. Go off now, and I'll make sure you get a nice tribute in The Times.

I don't know if there's a practical coherent strategy there. I think Clarke has been on GB News too. The media is almost an end in itself sometimes.

"Whole new significance".

Well spotted, Sir.

A week is indeed a long time in politics.

They'll be blaming the National Trust and RNLI.

We’ve had a year and a bit of this “we need to look United” and they look as divided as ever I think most are now just hoping it’s a nice day and the tax cuts stave off a blood bath but they won’t if this continues.

And I do feel it’s unlikely now until the election, if a party ever needed a spell of opposition it’s this one and 1997 is very reflective of this.

Another looney grouping to add to the list: The Conservative Britain Alliance led by the ridiculous Lord Frost

CBA having already being taken, can I suggest ConBall?

With all these factions, I intrigued which one Andrew Bridgen will want to join

League of Deranged Cunts is still up for grabs. Though perhaps not specific enough as it could apply to any and all of them.

'Popular' policies

hahahahahaha

Ha ha.

As I always say, this is like the kid on my school chess team saying he'd lost because his opponent didn't play the opening right.

This didn't go very well.

As has been pointed out, O'Brien can afford to pay his own rent on his London second home. Just because he's entitled to it doesn't mean that he should claim it etc...

The Secretary of State for Energy here. No surprise to see her talking debunked rubbish, I expect that.

But "Well done, Priti, you ignored somebody!"., really? Of course the confrontation with someone their base doesn't like is the whole point.

Maaa-aaa-riiii-naaah! You gotta seen-hah!

Fallout continues from the MRP poll released to the Telegraph last week showing the Tories on course to completely shit the electoral bed under Rishi Sunak’s leadership. I paraphrase the words of the Daily Telegraph, but only barely.

Open Democracy has published a story reporting the sale of the Kigali homes that Suella Braverman once claimed would house the asylum seekers Britain was soon to deport there. Back when she was home secretary, you’ll recall, Braverman flew to Kigali and was pictured laughing it up round various sites apparently earmarked for deportees. But this week, it emerged that Open Democracy’s reporter had found the properties had largely already been sold.

If so, you can quite see why. There seems something acutely symbolic about the fact that Rwanda is – unlike our current government – capable of a) building some housing and b) moving on sensibly and in timely fashion when something is clearly never going to work (in this case, ironically, our current government’s Rwandan policy).

Ouch!

Robert Jenrick- McCarthy was right.

You can see the circles these people are moving in.

Jenrick is an actual fascist. Not an insult, a factual assessment.

As well as being a general cunt, of course.
