    This will surely get those Tory members throbbing with excitement ...

    Maurdant : what is that amazing thing floating on the water?

    Maurdant : but how does it not sink to the bottom of the ocean?
    Naval reservist : because it is built to float, unlike you.

    The tories showing they have changed, could have a run off between boris's Chancellor who got a fixed penalty and his foreign secretary

    Boris is backing Truss - he's been manoeuvering in the shadows

    I don’t believe we do. Scotland doesn't vote for these crooks and hasn't since 1955. Cue incoming cries of but its a UK vote etc. I ****ing know and that's why we need to gtf out!!

    Edit and actually very few people will actually be voting for her as PM. Tories and only Tories crowning the new ruler.

    Heseltine was on telly yesterday criticising the election process, saying that having 150k, mostly old, mostly right wing people picking the next PM was a load of old bollocks.

    Not quite in those terms but you get the idea.

    To be fair we have had quite a few PMs who were not the leader at the time of the election. It’s is it a side effect our democracy where we elect the party. It’s better than a GE every time there is a change of leadership. I might remember incorrectly but did Sturgeon not take over form Salmond mid term?

    They tend to go on to win the next GE anyway.

    I was thinking it was a far from ideal state of affairs, but then the alternative (ie the change in leader bringing about a GE) would never have seen the Tories oust Johnson mid term, leaving us with a totally unsuitable PM.

    (Accepting that all of these candidates will leave us with an unsuitable PM, just a different one).

    A reminder that it was Tobias Ellwood, who lost the Tory whip yesterday, who dragged Johnson over the coals last year re-defence spending.

    This was when Johnson said it was silly to think there would be tank battles on the European land mass any time soon.

    Makes him look like the ill prepared idiot he is.

    Tanks have been shown up in Ukraine, Russia has lost over 800, more than UK, France and italy's combined tank numbers. They cost millions each and have been destroyed by £50,000 nlaws and Javelins.

    I think Russia being so poor should show us we should spend less on military. But of course every nation is doing the opposite and is increasing the budget and spending billions on weapons when people are starving

    WTF is going on???

    https://humanists.uk/2022/07/19/abor...hts-statement/

    A UK Government-organised multinational statement committing to the fundamental rights of women and girls has been amended to remove references to ‘sexual and reproductive health and rights’ and ‘bodily autonomy’. The statement was issued by the UK as part of an intergovernmental conference it hosted in London on 5-6 July.

    The original statement was issued as part of the 2022 International Ministerial Conference on FoRB. It gave a commitment to abolishing discriminatory laws that ‘restrict women’s and girls’ full and equal enjoyment of all human rights, including sexual and reproductive health and rights, bodily autonomy’. It also said it would ‘support and build capacities of local religious and belief leaders to… ensure access to sexual and reproductive health and rights’.

    However, it has now been revised, removing all references to ‘sexual and reproductive rights’ and ‘bodily autonomy’.

    It’s just the way the UK is going. Suck it up, as the Scottish Secretary would say.

    I’m not 100% sure but the Foreign Office I think had that brief and Truss was the For Secretary at that time and was the keynote speaker. So probably has her populist paws all over it. Jesus. Anti abortionists in power in the UK, WTAF.

    Haven't followed events today as yet but I've always felt he would believe that. I think that little snake, Cummings referred to similar. His methods have always employed hanging on and hanging on until opinion changes and people forget (sometimes wilfully) the truth of events.

    Yep, I'm particularly liking how he's got Brexit done and sorted out the N I protocol. What a guy, what a legacy.

    Think Sturgeon was appointed unopposed after his resignation 2014.
