Jack Peat trying to maintain a straight face.

Something about bootstraps, oh dear how sad, and tiny violins.

Who could have guessed that if you re-invent yourselves as the brain-dead toxic racist Party, when you get booted out of office prospective employers wouldn't want to even be in the same county as you?

Fucked around and found out.

At least Walker, if I recall correctly, had enough decency to protest at the height of the Truss debacle.


As for Gullis :

“I’ve applied for a few jobs and sadly not even had an interview yet,” he said in a radio interview in September.

“So actually, I think the days when being an ex-MP was something that was wanted or desired are no longer as I think we’re now seen as a problem. And so that’s a challenge.”

Asked if he thought that was due to his politics, he said: “When I left the profession to enter parliament I felt being a Conservative was something that was treated with disdain.”

The very definition of schadenfreude.

He thought being a Tory was regarded disdainfully when he stood for election? What the fuck does he think his reputation is now he’s been booted out? There’s a Trussian lack of self-awareness there. It isn’t ex-MPS in general that are seen as “a problem”. It’s just dimwitted venal wankers like him.

Having seen and heard Gullis performing, what school would want him? He's supposed to be an RE teacher FFS!

Gullis with the deluded belief that being an ex-MP was something prospective employers looked favourably upon, that may work for the more “traditional” Tory who has the contacts and old boy network to fall back on, but for a gobshite, it’s not so useful.

I've not taught at school level, so can't comment on classroom management issues.

I do wonder how the likes of Gullis would quell a disruptive classroom.
Especially one that seen his demo-reel of PMQ barracking.

He wouldn't. He'd call someone like me in to do it for him...


I have known many Gullises...

Can be tough in the jobs market for ex MPs as there's an assumption they want to return to parliament. Some tie themselves over by bagging a council seat but it's unlikely Gullis will get another shot at winning a Tory seat. He could defect to Reform where even a fucking moron like Andrea Jenkyn is let loose with a mayoralty candidacy

I think the problem for Gullis is that RE has slowly disappeared from the curriculum in the last 10 years mostly as a result of his own party's education policy. Schools are now completely obsessed with GCSE results and RE has never been a very popular GCSE so it has been down graded in many schools.

About 10 years ago my son did half a GCSE in RE which basically meant all Year 10 and 11 students did one hour of RE a week and then they could opt to take the GCSE at the end of the year. Lower down in the school most students did RE for half of the year and Computer Science for the other half of the year just so that the school could say that RE was being taught at Key Stage 3.

Now all students have one lesson of 'Life' a week which combines RE with other stuff such as Citizenship and Sex education.

The one good bit of good news for Gullis is that the academy chain I work for are planning to re-introduce RE if they are able to extend the school day to squeeze in 5 extra lessons a week. But then again I'm not sure he would cope teaching 6 lessons a day.

The problem for Gullis is that he is an utter shit.

Mr Berry - who previously held ministerial positions - said: "The Southport attack trial starts today—and of course, it's overshadowed by Trump’s inauguration. This is a calculated and cynical move by the Labour Government to 'bury bad news' behind international headlines."

Who knew the Government set dates for criminal trials? They don't. Thank God he lost his seat.

Wow.

My former MP.

And good riddance.

These fuckers don't care about lying or doing harm.

His message will play well with the next cohort of rioters, and daddy Elmo over the pond.

I think he's genuinely not very bright. Though doubtless he's not going to delete.

"Lawyer represented client in the past is not conflict of interest" shock. The Cabinet Secretary tells Robert Jenrick to fuck off.

Lost leader, James Cleverly, has spotted some dodgy Labour dealing. Party committed to solar energy are building solar farms. He suggests this is only because they had donations from Dale Vince and namedrops Lord Waheed Alli.

Cleverly may be performatively stupid, but he not a man without a modicum of wit, grace, or intelligence, even.

I am sure that, deep down, he feels that optimistic glow every time he sees the manifestation of renewable energy and a potentially liveable future. Why does he do this to himself, just for the sake of a few glottal votes?
