Was just coming here to say the same. Wonder who's next, or is Truss finally going to get the ol' Spanish archer? Also, Shapps rumoured as the replacement. Or maybe Michael Green. Or was it Corinne Stockheath? Sebastian Fox, perhaps?
Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date So Hunt who fecked up the NHS in charge of the purse and Schapps who dealt with road, rail, ferry and flight issues by sticking his fingers in his ears and ignoring them at the Home Office. With Captain Truss at the helm... The top three jobs in Government held by some of the most inept people known to politics.
We're making Italy and Greece look like competent governments. If it wasn't so harmful to people it would be funny
Now there's a rumour circulating - repeated by the shadow Commons leader - that the Chief Whip has resigned after the party threatened to withdraw the whip from any member who voted for the Labour call for debate on banning fracking. A threat which worked, by the way, fracking will go ahead "where there's local support." Which is nowhere, especially given the recent news that the UK's only active fracking site saw daily earthquakes during its operation. So remember: the minute you see a new fracking site open up, it means the Tories lied about only doing it where there's local support. EDIT: Oh, apparently it's both the Chief Whip and the deputy Chief Whip who have resigned. Which I guess means it goes to... I dunno, does the cleaner have time on their schedule?
Plus fracking is useless here, all the estimates were way over what they found and what they did find was mostly too difficult to extract. If it was still there, about 50 million years too late for some that had already seeped away. Tory MPs manhandled into the lobby. Photos apparently. Allegedly JRM and Coffey two of the culprits.
That Charles Walker interview was very interesting. Surprising to hear honesty from any of them these days. I only wish my local MP (Tory) was more like him and less of a total ****.
Grant Schapps, ffs. Can't they just use a tea cosy to keep the seat warm for someone with a ****ing clue?
