I've got a mental image of those two walking up to the No. 10 letterbox to put their resignation letters in except it's full so they have to sort of jam them in there

Odd choice I thought initially but the lyrics work very well. The narrator is “taking everyone down” because they “can’t change”. Solid interpretation.

It's also probably a riff off the end of Cruel Intentions where everyone figures out the sociopathic girl's deal and abandons her as that song plays

Assuming Boris does go and/or they call an election that Keir wins (neither are happening) I can't imagine what this party looks like in opposition. Dont feel like going full culture war would be as effective here as it seems to have been in the US but also can't see them purging the nutters and going back to 'strong and stable'

Technically only ("only") about 25 of the people resigning are ministers or in the cabinet, the other half are mostly parliamentary private secretaries, which are technically not in the government but have to vote in parliament as if they are

Well, the day is young, hopefully it'll be another day of seeing a collection of pedos, landlords, grifters and other criminals laying into each other. Rip yourselves to shreds, you loving tory filth, it's the absolute least you deserve.

As for me I'm gonna make myself a big salad - got some nice roast ham trimmings - enjoy the Girl Tennis and later the Girl Football, and then and only then Go On The Computer and survey the fallout.

I'm going to cry laughing when the 1922 committee do all their special rituals to elect a new committee and have a new vote and deliver the verdict to Boris wearing black velvet hoods in accordance with some unwritten law from the 1600s and say the magic oath that forces a prime minister to step down and Boris says 'nah' and flies off for another meeting in Ukraine

That 60-70 million includes children, unmarried women, men who don't own land, foreign types, communists, unionists, traitors to Britain, and enemies of the people, though. How many Real Britons are there? The type you'd want to allow to vote?

Any time anyone says that line I'm just smugly replying "out of an electorate of 47 million, that's not a mandate".

My prediction is Boris will have a spy inside the 1922 committee text him the names of the new committee members as they are voted in, and all he has to do is remove their whips. They'll no longer be able to take part in the committee on account of no longer being Tories.
