Apparently according to one Conservative we in the North should not bite the hand that feeds us. I may be mistaken but I thought the Conservatives had been in power since 2010 but it would appear not if you listen to them.

Indeed

They are a busted flush and if Gove's levelling up agenda is what helped them into power, there really are some "blue blind" voters out there.
As an aside, I seem to remember Corbyn being ridiculed for his promise of broadband to every household and scoffed at because of the cost and yet, this is one of the three "pillars" of the "levelling up agenda" but, without the necessary resource.

Yet another senior Tory taking the nation for fools.

What's a busted flush?

It's a poker term , when a good hand turns bad, look it up

I don't need to thanks I know what it means in poker terms, please explain to me simply what having 4 cards of a certain suit and the last card being turned over of a different suit has anything to do with politics? having a busted flush is just plain unlucky not bad, are you saying that applies to the conservative party as well

Just when you thought Nadine Dorries is the most embarrassing government minister in a large pool of candidates along comes Liz Truss our foreign Secretary. If you are trying to impress upon the Russians how serious you are it is probably better not to look stupid by stating that the Baltic states are across the Black Sea. I think the clue is the fact that they are the Baltic states not the Black Sea which is 700 miles away.
I suggest it would be better in the future if she travels by schedule flights because who knows where the private government jet would end up. I bet she was going to Austria when she ended up in Australia.

Truss and Dorries are at the very top of most moronic cabinet members in my lifetime. For a lightweight, thick as mince idiot like Truss to be given one of the great offices of state is in itself a great example of Johnson's poor judgement. I can't think of another Prime Minister who would even let her into cabinet.

The fact they are considered failing guarantees their loyalty because they would not merit a cabinet post in any other government.
I wonder what the Mail and Telegraph would make of this if it was Abbott.

The way the right latch onto everything she does whilst ignoring the manifestly greater failings of morons like Truss and Dorries and Williamson tells you all you need to know about them and their underlying prejudices.

Not sure the term moronic fits here, for somebody allegedly as thick as mince wouldn't the term cretinous be more appropriate?

if you say so. Squire.

Somebody has to pet, you clearly don't know the difference.

Sorry squire but moronic means a foolish or stupid person which certainly applies to these two. To be honest cretinous also relates to stupid people so you clearly don’t know that basically they are the same although the latter is considered more extreme.

Thanks for that, but I do know the difference hence my reference to the word cretinous being more apt in my explanation to ghosty, not really sure why you wanted to get involved really, any credibility this post had went with your sentence beginning to be honest.

... and I would much prefer NOT to have to intervene, but that depends on how this debate continues ...

Still Dorries out there defending him from the cabinet today. It's absolutely desperate that she's the best advocate he's got, a walking car crash of lies, bluster and ridiculousness. I can see why she's such a fan of Johnson.

If Dorries was any thicker, she'd set.

She is so in tune with de Pfeffel that they now post identical tweets right down to the punctuation in defence of Angela Rayner who apparently possesses legs which are unheard of in the Conservative party. To make matters worse she uses them to distract de Pfeffel which to be fair is fairly low hanging fruit.

Apparently she thinks the successful privatisation of C5 is the example C4 should follow... Plot twist: C5 has never been publicly owned...

Whose that, Angela Raynor?

To avoid confusion Nadine Dorries would no longer feature in any cabinet except that of de Pfeffel because her lack of knowledge on the ministry she runs matches that of the leader. It is the same for the member from the 17th century who is equally abject ideal for a de Pfeffel posting, so much so they had to create one for him.

Nadine strikes again but this time at Rugby League’s expense. I know she is the sports minister but let’s face it not one of the most challenging posts for a normal human being but not Nadine. If you are going to an event in theory to support our World Cup you would hope she would at least do some homework but no not Nadine. This was the woman who believed Channel 4 was funded by the taxpayers, so is it no surprise she quoted her most exciting rugby league moment was the drop kick she watched live at 1100hrs. The problem was this was the Johnny Wilkinson drop goal.

You couldn’t make it up!

I still can’t believe people vote for these people!
