It’s Rishi.

Oh STFU.

Why do you have a problem with someone stating the bleeding obvious?

Unless of course you are one of the total idiots?

 

[JohnD]

Yes, and it's less than even the numbers you quoted. Did you not see the interview with Steve Baker (he of the c*nt jibe) told the interviewer that if the next PM didn't do as he was told thatthey would get a very rough ride? Baker is the chair if the ERG, who certainly seem keen on pushi g the IEA economic agenda - the same agenda followed by Truss and Kamakwwaze. So just who is going to be running this continuing sh*tsh*w?

Perhaps the new PM, or his replacement, will have the sense, and the strength, to move the Brextremists from their self-appointed position of power.

Happy Smoggone Day!

Don't think he'll be missed.

 

[gant]

Think he'll be a thorn in Rishi's side.

 

[motorbiking]

His days of wielding power died when they last had a weak majority/coalition.

The mps who got voted in in the red wall seats will have nothing to lose.

The mps who got voted in in the red wall seats will have nothing to lose.

...but their seats.

 

[charliegolf]

He won't, but he should identify the 30 worst trouble makers early, test their loyalty with a vote on the NIP, and withdraw the whip from any dissenters. Still a majority, 30 numpties who have to vote with the opposition (or fall into line) looking stupid. He won't.

...but their seats.

The last election was about Brexit and the popularity of Corbyn. With Starmer in and the case to be made for the popularity of Rishy (which I must have framed 'wrong' cos it modded) outside of the Westminster bubble, its all to play for as they say in the red wall seats.

 

[Munroast]

I'm hoping the ERG numpties will be all shown the door, they seem to be the biggest trouble makers and have slowly but surely destroying our country - a good start seeing mogg has gone.

Not much use in less than two years time.

It's all about opinions.

He might just clear the numpty ERG lot, neuter Baker, Fatty Francios and Smog. If Momentum can't keep their traps shut, Labour could be screwed again in 2 years.

This Baker?

"Steve Baker – arch Brexiter and one of the Conservative party’s fiercest campaigners to get the UK out of the EU – has apologised to Ireland and Brussels for the way he and some of his colleagues behaved over the past six years.

Baker told the Tory party conference that he and others in the party had not shown respect to the “legitimate interests” of Ireland or the EU during the campaign to leave the bloc.


The Northern Ireland minister said it was time to rebuild the UK’s relations with Ireland and make sure the two countries went forward as “closest partners and friends”.


“I was one who perhaps acted with the most ferocious determination to get the UK out of the EU, I think we have to bring some humility to this situation,” said the former chair of the European Research Group (ERG) of Brexit hardliners.

“And it’s with humility that I want to accept and acknowledge that I and others did not always behave in a way which encouraged Ireland and the European Union to trust us to accept that they have legitimate interests, legitimate interests that we’re willing to respect, because they do and we are willing to respect them.

“And I am sorry about that because relations with Ireland are not where they should be and we will need to work extremely hard to improve them and I know that we are doing so,” he said.

The transformation into Baker, the peacemaker, will astound many among the Conservatives, and others in the UK, Ireland and the EU who watched the ERG attempts to finalise Brexit under Theresa May’s government.
