For those who don’t read Twitter I thought I would share some tweets,

Beth Rigby. “Hear from an MP that the PM’s gone to tearoom after PMQ’s.”

Ian Dunt “Oh F* she’s in the tearoom phase. Usually that comes right at the end. It’s like the double-dose morphine of political strategies.”

Duncan Bell “Hiding in a fridge can’t be far off.”

James Fox-McGowan “Genuinely feel she won’t see out October. But who’s next?”

Kahn Johnson “I think we all get a go. It’ll be like National Service.”

I cant put it anywhere to be fair , my phone is not playing ball.

Oh, sorry, Galaxy.

Perhaps we should start a new thread on N & P, 'Emergency Puppies to cheer up the Politics Nerds'. grin

I was about to say I didnt mean to derail. It's still the same point. I would probably prefer any labrador to be PM over the current situation.

Love the labrador analogy! And yes let's see the puppy please if you can get your phone to work Galaxy.

I know people used to doubt Johnsons intellect but I didnt really buy in to that. Its possible to be bright and have political skills and still be a moral vacuum.

She read PPE at Oxford. I’m stunned

My DP did a similar degree (not at Oxford at StA) and refers to it as a 'dinner party degree' as that's where it's useful.

Whose turn is it to be next PM? I’m down for next Wednesday? Anyone for Monday?

They’ve told me I can do it between 3pm and 6pm next Tuesday. I’m just after Jamie Vardy who himself follows that orange man off the antiques show
