Come back, Larry....

They are all being re-cycled aren’t they?

Number 10 has a new door.

What a circus - it's getting very tiresome!

Zoejory Wed 19-Oct-22 17:28:28

I think it was something to do with an email

Riverwalk Wed 19-Oct-22 17:30:07

And there more 'excitement' to come tonight with a confidence vote on fracking!

Riverwalk
Did you go to the circus as a child?
When something went wrong they brought in the clowns as a distraction ?

I think the guardian is right. Braverman was sacked. Hunt is clearing out the cabinet of the troublemakers - hopefully all the far right loons.

Everything crossed that Rwanda is now trashed. We’ve only wasted a few tens of millions.

She used her own private phone to sent a text which should have been sent by her encrypted phone.

Tut tut, Suella.

Thanks MerylStreep smile

Has this lady retreated to Rewanda ? As she believes it’s so good there ?‍?
Last I heard of Larry he’d hurt his neck looking left and right to see who was coming and who was going ?

DH loved that, Parsley! Cheered him up enormously ?

MawtheMerrier Wed 19-Oct-22 17:48:21

I’m with Whitewave on this one - did she jump or was she pushed?
To lose one cabinet member might be unfortunate (only it isn’t) but to lose TWO sounds like carelessness.

“And then there were none “ ?

As long as Larry isn’t the next dead cat.
I wouldn’t put anything past these bastards

So far today, the home secretary has resigned, a senior No.10 adviser has been suspended, the prime minister has double U-turned on pensions, and the government has called a vote of confidence in itself to coerce its MPs to vote against their own manifesto.

Boris will be back! Joking apart I can’t see how on earth the Tories are going to win the next election with all that’s been going on. United we stand divided we fall the old adage goes on. What a shambles!

Daisymae Wed 19-Oct-22 18:05:38

This cannot go on. Enough is enough.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 19-Oct-22 18:09:50

Apparently Shapps is considered by the Tories to be a good communicator

Can’t say I’ve noticed, I always thought him a bit of a drip.

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again
Tofu to mention....

I’m guessing it’s not so she can take up a seat in the House of Lords.

She did achieve one thing. She made Priti Patel look almost compassionate by comparison.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 19-Oct-22 18:22:09

Thank god for the civil service. Without them we would be ruined.

When I last checked our "Prime Minister" LIz Truss was marginally more popular in the UK than Vladimir Putin.

Has he overtaken her yet?
