I don't think they're generally worse than the men, tbh.

Loathsome - Esther McVey vs Dominic Raab
Hopeless - Chris Grayling vs Karen Bradley
Ok-ish, for a Tory - Justine Greening vs Dominic Grieve
Utterly mental - Mark Francois vs Andrea Jenkyns

Yep I agree. But I'm going back a long way. Fearsome creatures...Thatcher, Bottomley, et al

Does anyone agree with getting energy from Nuclear power stations?

Without them , there is currently not enough sources of energy supply to meet the demand...so until that is solved, we need a mixed economy of energy production in the UK....

Thankfully we are moving away from reliance on 'dirty' energy

Scotland gets over 2/3rds of it's energy from renewables and it's been growing. Nuclear power plants should be reducing in number, not growing.

Well as 7 out of the 8 we have will be shut by the end of the 20s. That shouldn’t be too much of a challenge

That could take longer than sorting out a Brexit deal.

From the guy who didn't realise Dover was that important for international trade. What's next? Civil war anyone?

Proceedings against BoJo dropped. Basically his defence was he did his lying in his roles as part of the Leave campaign, not as part of his duties in public office, so misconduct in public office doesn't apply.

tbh, I think that's fair enough even though he's a contemptible *****bag. I think the court publicity would've been counterproductive anyway.

Hard to argue with that.

Kind of condones the idea that you can promise the moon during a political campaign without having to deliver it or it to have any basis on fact. Pretty depressing really.

Agreed, but all parties do it and have done it for years. It's not a new thing.

Dominic Grieve loses a motion of confidence of his local constituency branch.

The Tories have swung further to the right again, they'll be standing on Nigels toes soon

Looks like he has to re apply to the constituency party for the next GE

The fact that it got this far will have given Boris a few sleepless nights, and if the publicity and the fact that it got this far plants a seed of doubt in the minds of politicians before they come out with some of their more outrageous promises, then it has been worth it.

As much as I don't like Boris, and as much as I loathed the bus stunt, I'm not sure if a criminal conviction was really in anyone's interests at the end of the day.

I doubt it Smartie, if anything Boris will feel emboldened that his armoured suit hasn't even got a scratch on it. The more he gets away with, the more untouchable he'll feel.

Fair do's, a bit of reluctant honesty dragged out of four of them, we now know hallucinogenics might have something to do with their behaviour over the last few decades.

But how do we account for the antics of the rest of them?

I saw that in relation to Michael Gove. My initial reaction was cynical and wondered if it was a calculated PR stunt where they thought the benefits of appearing relatable and “real” would outweigh any fallout.

[Andy Bee]

Had to chuckle when listening to Any Questions last night, when Max Hastings, a former colleague of BJ at The Telegraph, was asked his opinion on BJ as a leader...."BJ is one of the most brilliant journalists and entertainers I've ever known but Boris's tragedy is that he thinks he's Winston Churchill but in reality he's Steve Cougan"

That's where I am. I daresay some of the small and big C Tories may find it shocking but we live in a time when a lot of the electorate in their 20s through their 60s have probably dabbled with drugs at some point in their life.

I'm more offended by Gove in general than by the fact he had a few lines of ching a couple of decades ago.

It’s not the drug use that’s a problem. It’s the typical hypocritical pish about regretting it. All he regrets is that it’s about to come out in someone’s book.

Total ****.

Why didn't you answer my posts asking you to inform the Scots folk of whats occurring at Spanish Embassy level and Rockall both involving Scottish snp politics?

The good Scots folk deserve to hear after all you'e on here incessantly posting against anyone and any other party that argues against separatism/independence. We the good Scots folk deserve answers or do you ignore anything other than brigadoon 'good news' snp dogmatism?

Lets hear you're take on the Spanish Ambassador being sacked for mentioning Scottish separatism/independence and the Rockall Snp government v Irish government spat over fishing rights?

Come on Je me Souviens?

Let's tell the good Scots folk the current situation!

[Tornadoes70]

Come on Je me souviens?

At least the Modfather tries to argue his best despite limited arguments that at least demonstrates a fighting scots attitude. You don't show that which tells me you're just a trouble maker with no real hard interest in what happens here in Scotland. If I'm right you'd be better doing one.

Mon the Scots.

[Tornadoes70]

Nah. Its no just tories that are sleekit lying *******s. Its brigadoons like je me soveins or whatever his/her user name is.

I've every respect for those who show the fighting Scots spirit despite how way wrongful it may be because I myself either wrongly or rightfully have inherited it.

I'm proud Scots but also recognise just how much we here in the UK should display it against other than.

Mon the Scots and UK

[lapsedhibee]

That Michael Gove seemed like a nice young man on The Andrew Marr Show today. I don't think he told any lies at all. Preferable to Bojo or Fauxrage for PM.

Mutterings in the papers about Labour getting rid of Watson and Starmer from the shadow front bench. Ffs.

[Sylar]

Gove introduced legislation when he was Education secretary that banned teachers being caught using Class A drugs from returning to their jobs.

So you can't return to a classroom to teach, but you can still expect apparently to run the country?

That's where this news story bothers me - not the fact that he's taken drugs - I couldn't care less about that. It's the hypocrisy of his actions.

I find him as unpalatable as Johnson - some of his proposals during his time as education secretary were horrific (he was behind the proposal to remove non-UK authors from the English curriculum) and he's been a ****ing hopeless environment secretary.

[wpj]

I wonder why he fessed up? The story must have been about to be sensationally splashed over the papers so this is his attempt at damage limitation. Watch people coming out of the woodwork with Gove's chinged up shenanigans. Cant wait.
