I haven't been banned out if Fareham - yet
Knighthoods are not peeragesQuick Rishi - give knighthoods to as many of you chums as possible while there is still time. Need more Tory peers to keep the wokerati in check.
If some of us can allow ourselves to dream a little bit the Mid Bedfordshire By-Election swing was repeated across the country, giving
LAB: 480 (+284)
LDM: 104 (+96)
CON: 20 (-356)
SNP: 23 (-25)
PLC: 3 (+1)
GRN: 1 (=)
which is this map

Based on that map, by my reckoning, Braverman and Badenoch will go.
In fact the 20 left will be
John Lamont in Scotland
Just three paid up ERG loons John Whittingdale, Bernard Jenkin and Mark Francois
The only current Cabinet Minister or MP who attends Cabinet that would be left is Steve Barclay
Also left
Gavin Williamson (FFS! )
Louie French
Chris Philp
Andrew Rosindell
Victoria Atkins
Giles Watling
John Hayes
Matt Warman
Rebecca Harris
Alex Burghart
Julia Lopez
Gareth Bacon
Stephen Metcalfe
David Evennett
and either Damian Green, Helen Whately or Helen Grant. There are boundary changes, all were in safe seats in that area but I don't know who will be selected.
Wouldn't that be something?
If you think of some of the people the Conservatives have foisted on us these lat 7/8 Brexit years, who without doubt must comprise about 50% of the worst people ever to be elected to Parliament, through a combination of losing seats/standing down we would be rid of

It's an exhausting rather than exhaustive list. I've probably missed some additional scumbags. I actually left a few off the list because they did show some decency here and there along with some gobshitiness.
In years gone by Theresa May would be on that list for her enthusiastic creation of the hostile environment and her premature triggering of A50 and her stupid red lines. She'd have fit in to the Thatcher cabinets quite well. I'd have had Ken Clarke in there in previous lists of MP's I'd like to have seen the back of when they were in government and inflicting misery on the miners and the poor. However, compared to the 50+ above, she was actually competent, decent and moderate. Comparatively.
It's mad that she can see that the Tories are screwed, yet does not realise they're screwed because they've been trying to appease people like her. It's like a catch-22/ chicken and the eggEven the unhinged bile vomiting Telegraph headbanger Allison Pearson is “Washing her hands of this lot”
“ As things could not look worse for the Conservatives, time to let the women come in to clear up.
Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt to go immediately. @KemiBadenoch @SuellaBraverman to assemble a small top team to focus exclusively on the priorities of the Tory base and convince them it’s worth voting.
Thus minimise election defeat in October 2024.
It’s the only strategy”
Tories on Twitter in total meltdown. Wonderful sight.

Absolutely nailed it.There's a war about to erupt in Toryville.
There are MPs that know they are facing the boot, in provincial red-wall towns and they will want to double down on hate, division, racism, boatpeople talk and culture war. Some will want Johnson back, some will want to get behind Bravermans hate.
Then you have the Tufton St maniacs who are happy to hang their hat on Bravermans rhetoric, but maybe have a misalignment with Braverman economically and would rather have Truss back.
Then you get the one nationers, that want Penny Mordaunt or someone similar in power.
The right have been emboldened so much in that party, that the gap between tehm and the relatively sane tories is so large, that it's impossible to get them all to work together. The true one nationers that have held their tongue must be getting awfully tired of the rhetoric, the odd one puts their head above the parapet then usually leaves.
They were largely united behind Cameron, they started to fall apart with brexit, they snapped when the last intake of MPs, the ex-KIPpers got in, then 30p Lee got his senior Tory role, and it's now an embarrassment, a circus of a party. I've always disliked their politics, but the rhetoric, abuse of power and lies are a whole other level now, it's gonna collapse.
I saw Dorries posted this yesterday:Hilarious innit? It almost falls in line with a Bertolt Brecht quote from a poem of his.
“ Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?”
