The Nasty Party (AKA the Tories), it's back!

I despair.

Things fall apart,
The centre-right cannot hold...

 

[Rusty Nails]

I despair.

So does she, apparently.

At least it should stop the Tories point-scoring over differences within the Labour Party.

But they have taken all of us down with them.

That's an onion headline, surely.

Oh, fück, it is actually true. Fück, fückety fück, we really are fücked.

Just heard her referred to as the Minister for the Daily Mail, with absolutely no powers what so ever.

If we needed a wokery scourge, they'd sell them in the hardware store.

Isn't she a presenter on GBNews? That job will have to go now I suppose. It will probably be offered to Braverman, or possibly even a column in the Mail who seem to be a home for bitter, retired Tory Ministers...and some of their ex-wives.

Tell me. Was 'The Thick of it' a documentary?

To be fair, it's not *quite* true I think. She is appointed Minister without Portfolio. She therefore has no particular brief although it would appear that Rishi has directed her down that lane to start with...

 

[AndyRM]

Is this Sunak thinking "Hold my beer..."? With whatever passes as his logic being "Well, everyone else got to."

Very cynical politics.
She gets to attend cabinet but it isn’t an official cabinet position, so she doesn’t have to follow cabinet collective responsibility. Which means she can be as bonkers as she wishes.
