I've been having impure thoughts about Nadine Dorries despite the fact she's the Scouse Diane Abbott.

They throw their name in, then negotiate it away for a cabinet job.

Andrea Jenkyns, the new education minister, giving the finger to the public outside Downing Street on Thursday

Being triggered by crowd chanting to the point you stick the finger up at them isn't exactly the best quality for a job where you're going to be routinely criticised.

Did she think being an MP meant she'd be loved?

Hmmm…
A) Sajid held a meeting in Rishi’s private Chancellors office hours before Rishi resigned and said ‘it’s ok to come in here, Rishi’s gone already’
B) Gavin Williamson allegedly overheard offering people ministerial offices for votes on Thursday. https://t.co/S83tL1OPak

Dorries isn't happy

Once Sunak becomes PM (spoiler alert, it’ll happen) - will Dorries be dropped like Beeks? Doesn’t he hate her? I’m no huge fan of his but you’d hope he’d purge some of the Boris sycophants.

Apparently the ReadyforRishi.com domain was registered last December

When a party has lost its sense of what it is for, the only option is to mobilise against imagined foes.

Expect leadership candidates to take a flamethrower to "the Remainer elite", the EU, the courts, "wokery", "socialism" & "people who hate our country".

It's going to be grim

Ben Wallace announced he isn’t going to stand for the leadership.

This is one of those situations where the best people for the job are going to have the good sense to stay away, it's a poisoned chalice at the moment.

Love it when media barons accuse the left of being the elite

Is this supposed to be an apology?

Why, do you miss lockdowns and restrictions?

I’d rather Khunt than Javid but both are far too dangerous. Don’t trust Suella either.

Has to be Rishi now

I'd go with Priti

No idea who should be next PM though...

Matt Hancock has told friends that Sajid Javid has promised him the opportunity to be a key part of cabinet and return as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care if Sajid wins the race for next PM. Hancock was originally expected to support Rishi but has now been lobbying support for Sajid.

Knew it wouldn’t take long for Hancock to ass lick someone

Great policy showing really promising results. Would love to see this nationwide.

It could be argued that people who come into the cities to work should be charged a higher rate of income tax.
