WTF is happening in the UK?

Claim that therefore they should not have received any penalties either?

Just heard that HM has informed No. Ten that Boris need not call on her to hand her his resignation, he can leave a letter at the front gate and one of the Buck House footmen will pick it up on his way back from Tescos with the weekly shopping.

The big question now is has BloJo ACTUALLY resigned as Leader? Has anyone seen a letter of resignation, or will he be back on his rear legs in the House saying he 'mispoke' and was 'wrongly advised' and apologises for his mistake?

[OFSO]

He was on the phone as usual to HM just before he accepted that he would have to resign, and apparently said nothing pertinant.

As ever, it ain't over until the fat guy sings....

Mr Shapps, the Transport Secretary, said he would raise military expenditure to three per cent of GDP, with the money going towards new fighter squadrons and battleships.

Is there any point in publishing or reading each candidates promises? We can't affect the issue and of all the promises only two will eventually matter. Even then, only the promises by the winner (?) will count, and then as rocks to throw and him/her/its.

By the look of the early riders, committing to a low tax economy is about the only starting qualification needed – that, and an oath of absolute loyalty to Brexit. How realistic is the tax cutting aspiration likely to be?

I see Penny Mordaunt has thrown her hat into the ring. She's way out in front of the other candidates already.

I still fancy a realignment. Nadine Dorries for the Tory Party and Diane Abbott for the Socialist Party. What a vigour of speeches that would elicit!

[Boac]

Topless? Otherwise not worth the effort.

Someone has asked a valid question of the dreamers who all appear to be in favour of lowering taxes. Why did they vote to raise them?

[Undried Plum]

[Boac]

Difficult to argue with that, although I expect the 'late' om15 would have done.

[4mastacker]

Would the phrase "hammer, nail, head" be appropriate?

'Rishi' Sunak is apparently promising to undo all the damage that that Chancellor 'Rishi' Sunak did.
