Davis firing shots. Woof. Superb entertainment all in all. Can't wait for the next episode.
He must stay. That was class from David David though
Operation Dog's Dinner.
MP defecting (potentially more to come).
His own party telling him to resign in the HoC.
Scenes.
David Davis has always been a pompous old cunt.
What's Carrie going to do now? I wouldn't fancy being shacked up to a deposed Boris Johnson with 2 of his probably unwanted kids.
The state of that defection. Prestwich is the Jewish capital of the north.
Surely the only complaint a Conservative MP could have about government inaction is that it wasn't doing anything conservative. In which case, why would you join the Labour Party? Unless a few parties have sent you into existential crisis, and then you would have to question his mental stability.
He is just a parasite trying to save his own skin:
Bonus lol:
I don't believe in judging anyone on voting record. Voting on legislation is a practical means of getting government business through, not an opinions shopping list attributable to the individual.
MPs only vote against their party in extremis, even though both parties must contain individuals who believe in a whole range of things.
Which is one of the many reasons why democracy is a complete myth.
It's not a myth, it's just we have a parliamentary system and that's how it works. The alternative is to have referendums on everything.
Or how it doesn’t work, rather.
It works, it's just that the outcomes aren't always ideal, but then they're probably preferable to the outcomes of a lot of systems used around the world.
We can't judge these people we elect to make laws on what laws they vote to create?
You fucking what.
Not if you're being realistic.
A better way to judge an MP would be what topics they choose to focus on / speak about in the Commons and what they say when they do. Obviously that requires effort and learning, so not something that most people want to do before composing their killer tweets.
There's a difference between doing the party's bidding as a backbencher and firing off essays full of rhetoric about your opposing counterparts before giving each other soapy handjobs in congratulation weeks later. He could simply vote for government business without comment, plenty of them manage to be basically invisible.
Well, in this case I think Ben is right, he thinks he's going to lose his seat so is taking the route he thinks will save it for him. Not sure if it'll work or not.
They're all careerist wankers, you don't get there otherwise.
Thing is, you are not getting far in politics without joining a party. You cannot complain about people voting in line with their party unless you vote for independents during elections. Otherwise, what do you expect?

Britain 2034: Sir Rory Stewart forms his third 'Serious Britain' coalition government with the support of the Grown-Up Party. No new houses have been built since 2025. The British death toll in Afghanistan stands at 27291.
Do these people not know that centrist mulch only works if it's disguised as something else? Blairism only worked because it was branded as 'Labour' and represented red instead of blue and a change from the 1997 status quo. Same with Dave's wank, which had all the tree huggy stuff but was still ultimately the Tories. Who is going to be inspired by a load of wank without a vision?
They made massive strategic errors (not for the first time) due to being much too upset about Brexit. They should have waved Brexit through and stuck around in their parties to renew from the inside when the time was right.
I find it hard to believe that in this day and age even a Conservative Party whip would casually tell somebody that they're being sacked because of their 'Muslimness'. Patel and Sunak might have done, but not some white bloke.
It does seem unlikely. They're thick, but they aren't that thick.
*they might actually be that thick.
Yeah, I thought when I saw it the story had a weird feel to it. As above I wouldn't 100% rule it out because, y'know, look who we're dealing with but while I could see it being the reason somebody got sacked it's not the reason you'd fucking give to somebody's face.
Also with the guy coming out and saying it was him she's talking about and she was advised to put it through as a formal complaint and didn't.
Something odd about the whole thing.
But are they that thick?
*they might actually be that thick.
Bit like all these 'you won't get your school' blackmail allegations are now being backdated to a previous vote [on free school dinners] rather than as part of some plan to shore up support for the regime at present.
Also lol at this 'senior' Wragg fellow who looks like the archetypal smarmy Tory twat [as opposed to the Dickensian caricature of a Rees-Mogg figure] taking his concerns to the police. Good luck with that, but I guess it is meant to go nowhere.
Rees-Mogg is a social climber. Barely posh at all.
Have you heard him speak?
Jim's talking through the looking glass posh, I would guess, where it's all eking out the lifespan of 60 year old Rollers because despite your vast land ownership you don't actually have any money.
All affected. Real posh people wouldn't carry on like he does.
His wife is very posh, and the weird kids are apparently her business.
Annunziata is a weird Catholic name.
Let's put it this way, David Cameron is much posher than him.
Yeah, marry him for a couple of extra names.In 2006 Rees-Mogg became engaged to Helena Anne Beatrix Wentworth Fitzwilliam de Chair

There was a decent article in the Guardian about some of his family background yesterday.
He's a (very successful) nerd who likes olden days things and also happens to be a Catholic weirdo. That's about as much needs to be read into it.
Fuck me, nobody in Italy has been named Annunziata since my nan was born.
Sounds like you did, mate.Boris Johnson has said he is taking the claims by Nusrat Ghani that she sacked as a minister because of concerns about her “Muslimness” extremely seriously. On a visit this morning he said:
We take these allegations extremely seriously, I took them very seriously when they were raised with me 18 months ago ... very glad there’s an investigation taking place now. I can’t say more, really, about it.
Geezer is drowning in investigations.
Here come the rozzers...

Two possibilities:
a) Sue Gray has found something even worse than what's been disclosed and that has passed the threshold for the police to want to investigate
b) someone has politicked the police into investigating in the hope/expectation that such an investigation will delay Sue Gray's report
It's all very Thick of It, just need Julius Nicholson to stick his oar in.
Somebody producing a cake during a working day isn't a 'party'. It appears to have been ILLEGAL, but that says more about the stupid shit rules than anything else.
The stupid shit rules that he made. It's the same as the Cummings thing, except worse, because as a leader you have to take responsibility.
