Victorian Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Leadsom's not the best of news for Spaffer if taken at face value. She could be a precursor of a good few more. But... The 54 letters is only the first stage. He would likely scrape through the full confidence motion vote and then he's unflushable for 12 months. It's a system exposed to a bit of manipulation. It's entirely plausible that Spaffer's wee worker bees could engineer a confidence motion in the belief that he would win it and gain safety.

"Unflushable" but still a great big turd that's stinking the place out and everyone knows it's a great big turd. I'd be surprised if he lost the vote of confidence given the number of craven lickspittles who line up to polish his ring but it will be like Teresa May's 'victory', spelling an inevitable end and leaving him as a lame duck. It was only a couple of months ago that Loathesome Leadsom was leading the battle (on Johnson's behalf) to protect that Tory MP who subsequently had to resign for his inappropriate lobbying. I reckon she knows more from behind the scenes that has brought her out of the woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent parody accounts out there and it's always worth looking at the responses from the gullible sods whose immediate response is a knee-jerk, assuming that the posting is genuine and getting hot under the collar. It's not a parody but there was an excellent speaker at the NRA conference over the weekend. The guy took to the mic to thank Warren LaPierre for giving thoughts and prayers to victims of mass shootings. He listed a good half dozen such events, completely straight-faced and received a round of applause. Plenty of responses to the clip decrying the NRA for their attitude that thoughts and prayers do the job. Americans don't do irony so well. Another great parody account is @rosieisaholt who puts out regular video clips of her character as a tory MP. She's been doing it for ages but still hooks plenty of mugs.
