What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)

Venomous posted:

oh my God, I just realised. Corbyn won.

A few months before the 2019 election, Mark Blyth talked about how Corbyn really didn't want to be Prime Minister, because let's be honest, it's a poo poo job, especially during Brexit.

So what did Corbyn really want to do? He wanted to destroy the Conservative Party, the party of Margaret Thatcher, the party of British austerity, the party that is almost single-handedly responsible for maintaining the feudal system in 2022. Corbyn bears part of the responsibility for Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister, because he knew that this kind of poo poo would happen.

Sure, Labour lost in 2019, but I'm pretty sure Corbyn was fine with that, not least because it was a poisoned chalice, but also because it led to what we're seeing right now: Boris Johnson dropping the ball so badly that it may well kill off the Conservative Party forever. Granted, that may not happen, and we might still be doomed to eternal Tory government after this, but hey, it was certainly worth a try.

Just because our enemies are sipping a little teeny bit of victory wine right now doesn't mean our mouths aren't permanently full of it

there’s a take that this scandal isn’t really the reason for the resignations and that sunak and javid went mainly because they think boris isn’t cutting taxes and selling off public services enough

it seems plausible to me. having to work with sex pests, well-known nonces etc is part and parcel of tory life but not allowing ministers to enrich themselves and their mates to the extent they would like? that’s a sackable offence

Neither of them mentioned Chris Pincher in their resignation letters and it was publicly known he was a sex pest since the Tory whips list of dirt got leaked 5 years ago

Boris Johnson will resign as Conservative leader today - he will continue as Prime Minister until the autumn.

A Conservative leadership race will take place this summer and a new Prime Minister will be in place in time for the Tory party conference in October.

Starmer spends his campaign trying to remove everything even liberal in Labour and loses to Rees-Mogg.

He will stay PM until the Autumn to allow for a leadership race to take place, apparently.

no there's a leadership election that takes place.

From what I remember a bunch of MPs basically say if they want to run or not (think US primary), and they get put on a ballot where all the MPs vote, the people with the lowest votes get eliminated, there's another ballot and the lowest person eliminated etc until there's two left and then there's an election that takes place among the general Tory membership and the winner becomes PM.

Last couple of leadership elections I think everyone quit before the final step.

I wonder if he's so adamant to stay on until Autumn because that's the only way he can last longer than May did? He seems like the type.

He's got more people resigning than May. I think it's so he doesn't send his party into chaos before the new election.

with Are Boris it was a mismanaged decline which was at least funny to watch. now your options are "another, far more effective dead-eyed right wing tapeworm slithers into his shoes" or "a windfall for a labour administration to the right of the tories on many policies and complete vindication for everyone who howled with approval as the last drops of socialism were cynically wrung from the party founded to represent the working class"
