And just imagine how it'll be used. Homes for votes all over again.

Mordaunt’s presentation setup looks like a weird car crash between a world war 2 office and a dodgy second hand car dealership

I am growing irritated at the single minded focus on the candidates and their supporters.

I know its the biggest political story in town.
But hen they all manage to shoehorn in their little re-writings of history - without contradiction.
We see and hear the BBC doing what it does worst (again).

He handled Covid (and nearly died).
He tried his best.
He got Brexit done.
If it wasn't for those pesky civil servants and that cake...

They're all in on the same gaslighting act.
They will continue the culture war against "Not England", penises and the non wealthy.

This, like freeports will see a massive injection into the wealthy enclaves of otherwise poor areas.

Chris Mason on the BBC was awful last night, I was like, they aren’t supposed to be your best friends.

I didn't think anyone could be worse than Kuenssberg.

Got that wrong, didn't I?

Is - or was - Mason one of the participants in those fucking terrible, self-congratulatory "Shitecasts"?

Hopefully we'll see an end to such shit when that channel sees domestic and world news merged.

Get the Sky Business News guy into the role. No BS in his assessment of the fiscal kitemark attached to most of the leadership candidates' tax plans.

Ha ha ha ha.

Doubtless this is to be confined with scrapping unaccountable judges and auditors, etc?

Her best asset is she lies well…

In an interview to Iain Dale who for Conservatives is probably one step up from one show.

Without blinking. Creepy Pen’s inability to blink only helps fuel this sentiment


Mourdant will be the first unmarried sailor since Heath to lead the Tories. And she has all of Ted’s charm.

So breath bated, awaiting Sir Graham Bradybunch's announcement...

(Nice linenfold panelling there)

Sunshine Ricky - 88
Lady Penelope - 67
Jezza Cunt - 18
Nads Zahahaha -25
Sweller Bravermann - 32
Kemi Badenough - 40
Liz 'Surgical' Truss - 50
Tommy Tugenhut - 37

So Cunt and Zahahahaha are out.

Liz could still steal it as the white candidate and eventual winner. Do ‘family values’ candidates still play with the Tory membership? Truss has a messy private life but I’d be very surprised if Lady Mordor isn’t gay. We’ll find out this week from anonymous briefings if she is.

She was married for a while around 2000 - to a bloke, Paul Murray. That ended in divorce and she then had a 'long-term' relationship with Ian Lyon, a musician, which ended in 2016.
