For everything that happens in the UK government, there is a parallel moment in the 2005-2012 BBC sitcom The Thick Of It. This is an attempt, by someone in UK politics, to explain what is going on under the Tories using The Thick Of It. None of the gifs are mine. I grab them from Google Images. More than happy to give credit if I nab your gifs-it’s only fair, right?
And people were already calling her Suella de Vil before all this came to light.
Let’s be real here, if it was in 2019, it wasn’t Suella Braverman, it was Priti Patel. Just as cruel, just as callous, if not more so - she actually smirked as she admitted her own parents couldn’t enter the country under her plan for immigrants entering the country. She would have done this under the command of Boris Johnson. Or perhaps in cahoots with him. If this is the case, then all three of them are utter disgraces.
Not The Thick of It related, but it would’ve been interesting to see Jeremy Hunt stabbed 17 times in the back in the middle of Parliament while delivering his sham of a Budget.
I am on my holidays, so I’m not supposed to be keeping up with the politics back home, but I just learned MPs are writing letters of no-confidence in Rishi Sunak. Like…
It’s been a fucking week! Fucks sake! We need a fucking General Election right the fuck now.
Many backers of Rishi Sunak (and Penny Mordaunt) don’t want Boris Johnson back and some have even gone so far as to say they will resign the whip and quit the Conservative Party in protest.
If he comes back, it’ll likely be the end of the Conservative Party as we know it. And there’s a strong chance, because he won’t have enough MPs backing him, that there will need to be a General Election.
Let’s also not forget the ongoing investigation into Partygate - people are starting to testify for that. If Boris Johnson does get back in, General Election or not, because of the damning evidence against him, he’ll be gone before Christmas, resigned in disgrace again.
Remember these names. Let’s see who supports Boris Johnson this time around, and if he does get in, resigns in protest again.
This is a very interesting time.
pissing myself at newsnight showing the list of mps who have resigned with boris johnson's face in the background played to a dramatic rendition of bittersweet symphony like he personally murdered each and every one of them
