Drip, drip, drip...

But tbh, to be effective, they need to space it out more.

Express reporting that it might be 6 by Monday, Zahawi being one.

I am utterly confused as to why a Tory supporter welcomes the elimination of any prospect the party has of winning the next election (granted its small anyway but not entirely impossible with Sunak at the helm) in favour of having no chance whatsoever. Not even a case of must lose the next one to win the one after as a hard right party will appeal to a third of the electorate at absolute most. What am I missing here in your thinking?

Post 51,362 provides the answer as I posed a similar question.

He was standing down at the next election and a replacement has already been in place, If those in Government decide to quit it could get tricky for Sunak but at the moment its people who are going anyway.

Mr Jinx is not a Tory supporter...

"Bi Elections"? Now that would be confusing.

It's Peter Snow I would feel sorry for, the amount of studio floor he would have to cover as it swung both ways

There’s many in the party who probably think the keys were handed over when a sitting PM was removed out of time by fair means or possibly foul.
Are we about to see an organised drip feed of by-election causing resignations I wonder?

I agree. Theresa May was treated terribly by Boris and his chums.

There is a delicious mirror between the right of the Tory party (and their supporters) and the left of the Labour Party (and their supporters). Both seem to have to have allowed their feeble minds to become intoxicated by messianic fervour for a perceived 'ideologically pure' idol (with the added irony that, as Arthur says, Boris is no right wing puritan but instead a political charlatan who is only interested in self-advancement and adopts his views to suit). As a result both extremes try to torpedo the only real electoral hopes their parties have by wrecking appeals to the centre ground.

What a bunch of total muppets make up the base support of political parties.. .

Spot on.

But as you probably know it’s when that act of ‘self-defining’ impinges on others that’s the problem.

What blissful ignorance to think your own self-defining does not impinge on others.

That said, I think that the trans debate is incredible complex and I'm by no means aligned with the hardline pro trans crusader.
