    I've always quite liked James Cleverley. Fuck knows how he's got any of the jobs he's had, but always seems like a nice man.

    Have you seen how they're announcing these changes like footie transfers on twitter? Mental.

    Doing a 'He's back!' + fire emoji for David Cameron becoming Foreign Secretary is superb content tbh. This is the way you win the youth vote.

    Cameron already saying he disagrees with some of Sunak's decisions.

    Fuck me, if it wasn't killing the country it'd be absolute top tier entertainment. What are the odds Cameron ends up being PM again after Sunak is turfed?

    It's pretty bad timing given that what she wrote in her article came true (again) over the weekend, but if the Conservative Party are set on driving every last potential right-wing voter away then it had to be done at some point.

    Again with this. I'm sure you're contrarian just for the sake of it sometimes.

    I haven't seen any reports or evidence (outside of fringe Facebook nutters) that back up her Times column nonsense. Arguing that 100+ "counter-protestors" getting nicked proves the police are harsher on the right-wing than pro-Palestine groups is bullshit and she knows it, given these groups pretty much signalled their intention to get rowdy at the Cenotaph on their various pages. She called the police "brave" but then spent the rest of the article attacking them. She called every citizen "decent" then immediately proposed that they be "cracked down on" if they so much as have the cheek to turn up to a protest calling for a ceasefire in a war. What she wrote wasn't anywhere close to true and she knows it, but telling the truth wasn't the intention. She's an arsonist who complains about there being too many fires.

    You wouldn't even want junior ministers piping up to undermine your biggest police force with 100% unsubstantiated claims, never mind your Home Secretary. Boydy's link a few days ago was bang on; she wanted to leave the Cabinet, so might as well get herself sacked and gain a few fans (such as yourself, if you're not just being contrary) on the way out to back up a potential leadership bid.

    I think the idea of two tier policing and shit policing would have been a pretty uncontroversial point this time last week (even more so on a forum full of match-going football fans). In fact, I'm sure we had an entire month of Sensible People making the exact same point when the police filled that women's vigil in, and more recently when they were pre-emptively arresting people intent on protesting various things relating to the Royal Family. You would have to be blindly pro-police to believe otherwise.

    Again, public disorder breeds public disorder. The football wallies wouldn't have felt the need to turn up and 'defend the Cenotaph', as they had never previously done during my lifetime, had people not watched the police stand around and do fuck all about monuments being vandalised during recent protests (unless you think they all got the idea from The Times). If the police were honest they would just say that they don't have the resources and/or political and legal cover to police a hundred thousand ethnics and professional agitators the way that they can a few hundred low-status white men, but they don't, and it would probably be seen - ironically - as political interference, so they just pretend like they were responding to the worse elements.

    Braverman has been a crap Home Secretary who has overseen record immigration and appears to have a pretty poor idea of how political power works in the country. However, she does occasionally say things that are true, like multiculturalism being a failure and a disaster, which suggests that she could prove to be more useful than the rest of the idiots around her. Whether that matters within current Conservative Party frameworks I don't know.

    It was admittedly a subtle post, but fortunately ChatGPT is here to break it down for you:

    The author of this comment is expressing a positive sentiment towards James Cleverley, but also acknowledges confusion or uncertainty about how Cleverley obtained the various jobs he has had. The phrase "Fuck knows" is a colloquial way of saying "I don't know" or "I have no idea." Despite the uncertainty about Cleverley's career path, the author still perceives him as a nice person. In summary, the comment suggests a mix of admiration for Cleverley's likable personality and curiosity or skepticism about the reasons behind his professional success.

    I wonder if there's an "explain this post with ChatGPT" addon for vBulletin. I reckon I'd use it on 90% of Taz's posts.

    That is one of ChatGPT's great benefits in that it can provide such necessary support to help foster a sense of community among individuals with varying levels of intellectual abilities. Don't ever feel intimidated to ask me also, I'm more than willing to break things down for you.

    The local MP here has 'gratefully declined' further involvement in the government to focus on local issues, presumably as part of a bacon saving strategy.

    Pretty sure the last non-conservative MP for the area might have been a Whig, ah no, sorry, couple of liberals in the 1870s.

    I'm sure he's become posher since he's been away. Either that or everyone else has become plebbier.

    Also check out how he says 'Rishi Sunak'. Sounds like badly programmed AI.

    From the same bullet points Laura Trott now Treasury Chief Secretary.

    Has she knocked riding bikes on the head then?

    Yes, yes, I know, that would be Laura Kenny now.

    Was there not a bit of outrage when Gordon Brown appointed Peter Mandelson despite him not being an MP (and getting round it by giving him a peerage)? How is this different with Cameron? The media just seem to be reporting on it matter of factly, rather than seething about it too. Not that I really care either way (I don't mind if Cabinet members aren't sitting in the Commons), just wondering if I'm missing something.

    The outrage probably stemmed from Mandelson being a monumental twat/being viewed as the dark lord himself.

    It's been going on for years. I bet every cabinet since has probably had one or two rogue lords in it.

    David Cameron literally led us into the biggest act of self-sabotage the country has ever committed. Not sure he's held in a higher regard than Mandelson by most.

    Lord Adonis was a long term fixture in the Brown cabinets, Baroness Token also under the Tories, not to mention that Lord Knobhead Tim Fuck or whatever he was called who kept pontificating about Brexit. I think with Mandelson it was more than he was a scheming fuck who had to resign twice in the 90s.

    Although if she ends up triggering a leadership contest (again) and consequently probably a general election too, then happy days, because she doesn’t have a cat in hell’s chance of winning votes outside her bubble.
