Wonder if they've told the sub captains "Please ignore launch commands unless they come from Royal Navy leadership" yet?

Kernel Monsoon posted:I didn't hear the words "I am resigning" He absolutely didn't resign. He said he's agreed to a leadership contest (that he can run in) and that he'll be pm til then. The timetable for this contest will be announced next week, so after the 1922 exec elections and the opportunity to force him out. No chance in hell the Tories missed it, huw Jenkins realised right in the middle of interviewing the egg from bury. He might still end up going, possibly even today, but that wasn't it

He has actually resigned as Tory leader apparently, which i think precludes him from running again?

Spangly A posted:He absolutely didn't resign. He said he's agreed to a leadership contest (that he can run in) Yeah this is like a massive red flag. He's allowing a leadership contest, it wasn't forced, so he is able to stand. And he's just appointed a full cabinet of loyalists who will back him.

peanut- posted:He has actually resigned as Tory leader apparently, which i think precludes him from running again? Being forced out precludes him, the full rules change every leadership and are decided by the 1922 committee. Quick check says they aren't public so I'm very possibly wrong. Its probably the best place to head him off without causing a massive shitstorm, but since his odds seem so bad they might actually be stupid enough to let him have a go e; or he said he'd do the speech and resign as leader on the condition he can run - I'd probably take and honour that deal if I was on the committee because it's the way out with the quickest end to the public drama Spangly A fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Jul 7, 2022 |

How to resign without resigning. How many hours will it take for UK media to grasp what wasn't said? I saw it live of youtube (maybe sky news?) and they were fawning over how gracious and moving his speech was, nothing else.

I think its a deliberate choice. He didn't say he was resigning, but the media and political figures are choosing to present it that way in hope of making it a fait accompli

https://twitter.com/YouGov/status/1544984538442567680 YouGov saying Ben Wallace is a clear favourite in head-to-heads. I know absolutely nothing about him other than 'a soldier' and 'may have tried to stop Boris' loony pet airlift out of Kabul'. How bad is he?

I think it's funnier than that. I think he got a staffer to whatsapp someone at the BBC that he will be resigning today. Everyone reporting it like it's fact because of course they will and he's going to turn around and say what? I never said i was resigning. And he will be completely right. He's taken the entire british press for a ride.

Ben Wallace is apparently the favourite among the members. Whether he'll get that far is up in the air. Also I really don't think Boris is doing One Weird Trick to avoid actually resigning, he's said it in every way except literally saying "I am resigning". I do think he's leaving himself as an option for the leadership election, but that's just because he's an egotistical piece of poo poo.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Is he seriously just gambling they won't be able to agree on a replacement He's gambling on the option that gives him more time. You know how the options were jump before you're pushed? He instead decided to try and build a bridge. He has no options so he took a possibility that a new option will emerge eventually. He's still the PM He's still in number 10 and he's still exactly in the same situation he was yesterday. UK has no government.

According to his wiki, Tugendhat is banned from entering China by the CCP. Which would be an... interesting position for a world leader to be in if it comes to that edit: its more than that, he's sanctioned so no Chinese person or institution can do business with him at all.
