Various personalities have been accused of bringing about Johnson's downfall but not many Saj resigning as Chancellor initially.

Sadly, what has been all too obvious for a long time but shamelessly ignored by the Tories:

No, no. These companies are paragons of virtue. Its those nasty unions and Gordon Brown wlho have caused this.

Good result for Labour, however the low turnout was a bit worrying (was it 40% or something).

This sort of apathy could mean the Tories sleepwalking into winning the next election.

*Yes, I know there's a bigger turnout for a General election, but there seems to be a huge disconnect somewhere. Is it the youngsters?

People fed up with politics in general probably the main reason.

Did a shift earlier today and as you maybe aware a lot of nurses couldn’t bring themselves to vote yes to strike action, despite really wanting to. Then along came Zahawi effectively accusing the nurses of backing Putin. I appreciate that this was done to get you all to hate nurses and those that work for the NHS, but the nurses are now up in arms, even those that could not bring themselves to vote yes. With regards the NHS his comments have now created a war with the government. They really don’t get it.

Just to show our government really are not in the real world, Sunak decides to support Qatar in relation to migrant deaths and hatred of the LGBT community, whilst other European Nations MPs leaders and MPs decide to wear the one love armband. 
This government chose to disrespect the England players by encouraging the booing of the taking of the knee and now disrespect them by not supporting their views. I guess questions will be put to Southgate in his next presser.

Sunak you really are a c***, why go and support our national team, when you don’t support their believes.

Did you enjoy the Beijing Olympics?

Are you boycotting the World Cup because of human rights in Qatar?

No. I didn't think so you sad little hypocrite.

In a roundabout way, he did. He was using the war in Ukraine in a rather nefarious and disgusting way. He is a disgrace.

Well b back used the phrase, " along came Zahawi effectively accusing the nurses of backing Putin".  As ever you shamefully misrepresent what was actually said in order to support your RWNJ agenda. Zahawi's claims were absolutely intended to align the nurses' strike action with the will of Putin. They were utterly repugnant, but pretty much par for the course from this degenerate and incompetent government. Thus, no surprise at all to find you defending them.

I'm sure Putin would be delighted to see our precious energy supplies being wasted on heating up stables. He'll probably send "Naddy" an xmas card in gratitude.

You love throwing insults to back up your believes. Whilst hiding behind your computer you are a very brave man, but in real live probably wouldn’t say boo to a ghost.

Maybe next he will put pictures of hospitals up taken at 4am on a Sunday morning to say hospitals are empty, maybe he can borrow the ones on here.

RTB disappears for a while while the Tories are getting a bashing. Now it goes a bit quiet because Sunak doesn't like the limelight like his predecessors, he emerges to try and retaliate. There is nothing to see RTB. You have chosen the wrong moment. Especially now SKS has said Corbyn won't be allowed back in the Party and he wants to reform the House of Lords after Brown's report.

Not looking good for Rishi, perhaps he knows a rich non-dom that might help him out:

When you hear of the utterly disgusting way Michelle Mone gained over £200 million worth of orders for companies she was involved in and allegedly pocketed £36 million out of it, make your really think this government might keep going on about their swift Rollout of the vaccines but the cost was very high and in all areas it appears that tax payers money was used to pay for conservative comforts! Shame we can’t have a full independent investigation with full disclosure.

Indy, you may get a fair bit of disclosure, since the Tory party seems to have decided she is too much of an embarrassment even for them, by not opposing the release of information.

She doesn't look the sort of person that will go quietly. I think quite a few tories, Gove especially, will be losing phones and accidentally shredding documents.

It seems a pretty open and shut case at this point so it does feel like she'll be thrown to the wolves at this point. I do agree though that she seems like the type who may go scorched earth.

Seeing her being sworn in wearing her crimson  ermine, her Kardashian make up (Mrs S advises me) and the stupidest smile, she looked like it was her first day in the job at a beauty counter in M&S, let alone the House of Lords. Actually, a sad picture and arguably all that is wrong with the selection process into the HoL. No wonder her attendance has been shabby, she probably has very little interest in affairs of the state. I know little of her political interests though it must be said. 

In most other fields of working life then someone facing these kinds of allegations would be suspended. Yet she can take time off (lol) to prepare to defend herself.

Who else will she bring down with her - or perhaps all of them?

It appears the Tory call for PPE VIP lane was 'Fill yer boots"

Right from the start of the pandemic the man at the top told them that Covid was a business opportunity.

Terrible, these are people employed by the tax paying electorate to do a job not to see potential to fleece the tax payer! Still going on now with power & fuel costs, no need for energy to cost so much the reality is it isn’t costing more to produce and there’s no shortage of energy or fuel if managed correctly.
