Here's a sentence I never thought I'd type.

Stephen Kinnock was quite impressive on Andrew Neil's show today.

Yeah, I think I'm still in shock. I was expecting a car crash but he came over incredibly well, got the point across whilst being respectful and almost sympathetic to the Tory with him.

His PR team need a raise.

Car crash was Therese Coffey on Sophy Ridge, trying to defend Johnson and his supposed lack of awareness about Chris Pincher's wandering hands.

How Therese Coffey ever got elected or even got considered as a suitable person for public life is beyond me.

Think that applies to probably 99.9% of the current cabinet and government. Larry the cat is the most competent of the lot of them

@mike_field - here's a longer video, in case you missed it.

In fairness, hasn't Larry already been accused of not doing his job and catching rats as well?

It's not just Cunty Cummings whose said Boris nickname for the Tamworth MP was 'Pincher by name, pincher by nature' either is it. It's totally illogical to think he was warned by the Chief Whip about previous allegations and he never asked what they were. He knew, but Pincher is a lacky and a friend - that's the bottom line.

I see what you did there.

 

[mike_field]

I understand Pincher's problem - sometimes you just can't resist.

Suppose I need medical help as well.

In a parallel universe I’d be interested to see what would happen if she was leader of the Tories, with Abbot leader of the shadow cabinet…

 

[Thomas Holte]

The problem with this Tory cabinet is that it's full of talentless sycophants, hand-picked by Johnson who know when he goes then so will they hence why they continue to support him and join him in continually lying to the British public.

 

[Pangloss]

Most of the Tory cabinet are upper middle management types, the sort that you get in modern companies who deliver nothing, have little practical skills but talk a good game and are experts in self-preservation.

It really is a shocking line-up.

All beggining to look a lot like ancient Rome.

At the annual Eton v Harrow cricket match at Lords last week one of the chants was, “We’ve got more prime ministers than you.” from the Eton lot.
How did it ever go wrong?

I would say that's something not to brag about.

Horrific.
