I love how people are just realising Sunak is a bad leader. It’s not like he wasn’t demolished by the bold and charismatic Liz Truss, who likewise was bitterly defeated by a vegetable. He made his way to PM by staying quiet and being non-threatening. Hardly the personality type to run a supermarket, yet alone a government.
Honestly I assumed he lost due to tory racism rather than ability. I mean he is shit, I don’t deny that, but…
Interesting how much of the media has presented this as “Parliament overwhelmingly approves report” when the bigger story is the 200+ Tories who abstained (giving tacit support for Johnson).
Another Boris backer Nick Fletcher argued that only Conservative MPs should be allowed to judge if fellow Tories have broken the rules. “If Man City’s star player had to sit in front of seven of his peers for a hearing how fair would it be if three of them were Man United players? Not very.”
Flawless logic and a talent for figurative rhetoric there, ladies and gents!
“We are basically children who cannot hold an adult discussion - also please vote me in at the next election”
hard to know where to begin with that.
How about “Oh fuck off, Nick”, and end there as well?
You could replace the non-conservatives on the committee with the biggest Boris fans and the report would still have passed committee with a majority. What a terrible analogy for many reasons.
They already have a large majority of MPs, both in the Commons in general and on the Priviliges Committee specifically. The system already has “governing party stitchup” built in as an optional feature.
Humiliating him is all well and good, but will there be any consequences for him?
Will this shit never end? When is the election
