Normies: What the absolute fuck?
Moron (who is an MP): Why do you hate so much?
Voter: Let me introduce you to the concept of a mirror.

Boris was losing the Tory party’s safe seats to the Lib Dems. How is he not going to do that the second time round?
(FPT)
Latest @thetimes tally of public and/or confirmed backers:
Sunak: 84
Johnson: 44
Mordaunt: 21 https://twitter.com/Geri_E_L_Scott/status/1583557812889976833/photo/1
If the 22 had a rule that anybody under a pending investigation could not be a candidate, could anybody really object? The consequence of Boris being found guilty and booted out before Christmas really is an extinction level event. Rightly so.
He shouldn't stand. He shouldn't be ALLOWED to stand.
I take that back, the questions is about a general election tomorrow.
Bloody hell the electorate are even worse than I thought.
Should just have said: “Piss off Boris, you fucking has-been helmet”
Bad language is maybe a comfort but hardly is persuasive to making the case that Johnson is not the right choice
IF total electorate = 357 but think some of those will NOT nominate due to their position(s)
Subtotal Accounted for = 149
Not Yet Made Nomination = 208
How many will NOT end up nominating anyone = ??? but likely bigger than a breadbox?
If he is going to run out of steam, there is no sign of it yet, if anything he is edging up marginally as Penny nominations dry up. Let's hope he hits the buffers because of those MPs that are holding their counsel.
Rishi Sunak is the first to cross the line. He has 100 nominations.
Well according to Guido Fawkes

p.s. @TSE is absolutely correct
If Tory MPs, especially those in the red wall seats, think they stand a better chance of avoiding wipeout - collectively, and more particularly for themselves personally - with Johnson in charge than with Sunak, then they are going to vote for Johnson. If the revolting creature can muster the magic hundred votes as a consequence, then he'll likely be returned in glory by the demented fossil members.
Of course, the complication with this madcap scheme to put the final two to a snap online vote of the members is, as the Times reported, that a substantial fraction (estimated to be 20,000) are very ancient indeed and don't have email addresses (or, most likely, any real conception of what email actually is.) If they hold a membership ballot that excludes a large fraction of the members, and the margin of victory for the winner is then less than crushing, the courts could easily be dragged into this...

(Remember the old gag from Bozza's leadership collapse? When the 1922 Committee have had enough, the Chairman presents the PM with a tumbler of whisky and a loaded revolver. Boris would shoot the 1922 Chairman and then drink the whisky.)
Stuff to keep with your Consignia mug….
Lets hope it is 0/3.

Cos what the nation lacks most at this critical moment, is an hour or two of Tory televised pontificating, bullshit and cant.
NHS England published draft specifications for specialist services for children with gender dysphoria, following Cass interim review yesterday. V positive development & a move away from unevidenced affirmative model pushed by Mermaids. Thread follows:
An emphasis on multidisciplinary care & integrated approach to assessing co-presentations like autism and ADHD, depression, anxiety.
-An emphasis that primary intervention for children referred to this service is psychological not medical.
-A clinical approach reflecting evidence that in most pre-pubertal children, gender incongruence doesn’t persist into adolescence.
-An approach mindful of risks of inappropriate social transition inc difficulties in detransitioning socially should gender incongruence not persist

What will Charles do?
This is the question every sharp journalist should be asking, right now.
If they continue with this Boris love in, the tories deserve to be out of power for generations
Night all.
“I don’t see how it’s feasible for him to bring the stability we need when he’s still under investigation by the Privileges Committee for misleading Parliament…I hope someone is pointing that out to him, frankly.” Aaron Bell
“The idea of him returning as the solution, that would be going around in circles, circles that become the death spiral of the Conservative party, and I think it’s the worst idea I’ve heard in the 46 years I’ve been a member of the Conservative party.” William Hague
"There are several very good potential candidates for Conservative leader. But choosing Boris now would be — and I say this advisedly — an absolutely catastrophic decision." Jesse Norman
“His premiership came to an end for a reason, which is that there were serious questions about competence, credibility, and ethics. Does the Conservative Party want to go back to that?” Robert Jenrick
"First, Johnson made the Tories a comedy. Then Truss turned them into a laughing stock. A Johnson return would risk emptying the theatre altogether, as most of the public run screaming for the exits." Paul Goodman
“There was a reason he left office. The problem was the sense of confusion and chaos that surrounded him." Lord Frost (!)
No idea if that will prove telling or not.

If Starmer calls a VONC and the government survives then that is that, if the government loses a VONC then the King dissolves Parliament and calls a general election

You and your like are very much a 'cult' exactly the same as Corbynites, and threatening terminal damage to the party you allegedly support
Actually, it would be good if she does stand and peels away a few loons from Bozo.
