    Osborne is probably glad he didn't get a call. Dorries must be absolutely seething that Cameron has just waltzed into the Lords. 🙂

    Surely every major heavyweight in the party has been asked - it's about whether you are up for it.

    Surprised Cameron is up for it, but presumably he could do with some legacy washing and hearing that Blair got asked by israel to help with the peace negotiations probably helped push him to be up for the foreign sec role.

    Was confused by Laura Trott to the Treasury.
    I thought she was known as Dame Laura Kenny now.

    I also did a double take when I saw the name of my MP after we moved house a couple of years ago.

    My local MP is studiously avoiding the whole thing (and who can blame him) and tweeting out updates on local roadworks.

    A good day… I am known for having almost zero empathy, but when compared to Sue-Ellen, I must come across as some kind of Samaritan… horrible horrible person, always the first to point the finger and blame the last, the poor and the forgotten in society…

    Juicy.



    Also, you'd think an MP would be able to compose a formal letter with complete sentences.

    It's A letter of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady: Andrea Jenkyns having a rant about Johnson and how Sunak has betrayed him and she manages to work in Corbyn as well.

    This from Guido Fawkes, that leftie tofu woke website....

    "Dear Sir Graham,
    Enough is enough. If it wasn’t bad enough that we have a party leader that the party members rejected, the polls demonstrate that the public reject him, and I am in full agreement. It is time for Rishi Sunak to go.
    Rishi’s Machiavellian involvement in getting rid of our democratically elected leader Boris Johnson, who bravely fought for Brexit when parliament was in deadlock. Yes Boris, the man who won the Conservative Party a massive majority, was unforgivable enough. But then to purge the centre-right from his cabinet and then sack Suella who was the only person in the cabinet with the balls to speak the truth of the appalling state of our streets and a two-tier policing system that leaves Jewish community in fear for their lives and safety.
    And the King’s Speech; we should have had a barnstorming speech that would have strongly set out our stall ready for the General Election that defines our true Conservative values. To be 20 points plus behind in the polls and by-election defeat after defeat. How long are MPs going to sit on their hands and let he and his out-of- touch advisors damage our party irrevocably?
    I therefore submit this letter of no confidence in Rishi Sunak as our Conservative Party leader.
    I do this to stand up and fight for true Conservatism, we must be a party that delivers low taxes, be trusted on the economy and turbo charge our skills to power our economy. We must be strong on law and order, take control of our borders, be energy independent as a nation and stand up for our freedom of speech. I hope other Conservative MPs follow suit, this is our last chance, to stop Starmer, the man who tried to put Jeremy Corbyn into Number Ten, we need to stop his socialist cabal, who will change the face of Britain beyond recognition“.

    That's a quite extraordinarily shite letter from an MP... it reads more like a drunken Facebook rant. She has neither class nor intellect, though I suspect she doesn't care.

    Wow. It was actually a harder read once it was legible! Had to read several sentences a few times to make sense of it - or at least to be able to guess at the intent. Giles is right this is a great sentence:

    Yes Boris, the man who won the Conservative Party a massive majority, was unforgivable enough.

    I think it is overlooked how much this point is valued by the electorate i.e. ignoring the manifesto that they all campaigned for.
    I'm not sure I follow. You think the electorate don't care, and people aren't talking about that fact? Or you think they do care?

    Well sure, but could they do it in their own time, rather than at the office. They'll have enough shortly.

    Oh, about as mad as the current Tory Party. But it's what an 80-seat majority and dishonest Brexit has done to them. They needed more critical friends, and a realisation that trolling the lefties doesn't get you very far in governing competently.

    He wouldn't even have to do anything, just sit there.
    I'd hope that's all they'd allow him to do though.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I think the electorate do care and that a significant number of people voted for levelling up and Boris. They now feel alienated by making-rich-people-richer policies.

    That actually makes it look like they have done quite a bit.
