I wonder if he had heard rumblings that he was being lined up as the latest goat to be scaped to protect big dog, so went first to set his own agenda.

Meanwhile, let’s be happy that the trigger happy Tory rebels didn’t wait a few weeks. Now if they want Boris out they’ve got to bodge their own rules, have another awkward vote, and then (if they win that) still have a period of lovely infighting until the next chosen one is anointed. Either way, it’s all damaging for the Tories.

I can't believe how many Tory members appear to be touting Lee Anderson as the next Tory chairman. I'm actually hoping that Johnson might give the job to Nadine Dorries.

Oliver Dowden will keep himself busy. Here his last year, committing himself to defend Nelson from a woke mob of steeplejacks, led by Fred Dibnah and John Noakes.

Fuck. There are zombie steeplejacks now? This is Johnson’s Britain.

Haven’t they already chose a chairman in the nephew of Camilla Parker Bowles though the elite remember are those remoaners.

If Carlsberg did irony.

Off the irony scale. After 2010-15 ?

Most people understand tactical voting so how does this headline help the Tories? A LD vote will put dangerous Marxist Keir Starmer into No 10, is very thin gruel.

Hey Saj:

None of your fucking business.
Stick with the Bod tribute act.

Remind me what they said about the Tory/Brexit party agreement in 2019.

This poster campaign did have quite significant cut-through in 2015.

How many more times does it have to be said that it's gone on since forever? Even Tories and Labour have had non-aggression pacts at a local level in the past when a well-respected candidate from either party was standing.

So is the Saj saying, it’s not fair to be anti Tory

The same tactics worked even better when Corbyn was leader but the Tories will get a different response from ex-army officers in Devon if its Keir vs Bozo. And despite the Mail’s slightly deranged obsession with Sturgeon, is she a problem for English voters the way Salmond* was?

* Got marked down as wrong un’ in England before Scotland caught up. While Boris Johnson’s career is a mirror trajectory, Scots made the right call first.

I see the Johnsonian halfwit now representing Blackpool South, one Scott Benton, has taken to Twitter to celebrate the overturning of Roe vs Wade (“Life wins!”, apparently). I’d be astonished if he is the only one, especially out of the dreaded 2019 intake.

Even Johnson has expressed his disappointment at the decision.

Publicly, yes. Privately, I suspect he was delighted the by-election losses ended up being overshadowed.

If he likes America so much, why doesn't he ...

I’ll take a guess that retired voters in Blackpool have a story about what happens to girls who made a mistake on holiday in Blackpool before 1967. Those stories will be sad, thoughtful, nuanced and compassionate. Culture war Benton is out of rope.
