You, a fool, go with superficial things like "introduces self as woman" or "looks like woman" to define gender, wheras I, having put all my points into craniometry and vibes, am able to perceive the true essence of womanhood and I know that it perfectly lines up with people I like and don't like. My gender lobe is the size of a grapefruit and I can detect the true chromosome wavez coming off people from two hundred paces. I can see auras that look like uteruses around all the true womankind, I'm normal, I'm the only normal one, the rest of the world is crazy. Buy my man detecting dowsing rod it's a Y shaped stick that you point at people and because it's Y shaped that means they're a man, it works every time.

You know this isn’t how it usually is, right? People go on holiday at the end of term and it would be a bit busy, but they’d get there in the end. This amount of chaos is not normal, it is right to complain about it.

Torygraph

quote:

Boris Johnson privately believes he will be back in office next year, despite announcing his resignation after MPs rose up against his leadership two weeks ago.

Tim Montgomerie, a former aide to Mr Johnson who has since been critical of him, said he had been told by sources close to the Prime Minister that he was convinced he would be back.

In a well-sourced post on social media, Mr Montgomerie wrote: “Boris is telling aides that he’ll be PM again within a year.”

Mr Johnson told MPs at his final Prime Minister’s Questions earlier this week: “Hasta la vista, baby” and said it was “mission largely accomplished – for now”.

It comes as a row broke out among senior Conservatives about a campaign among party members to allow them a vote on whether Mr Johnson should continue as Prime Minister.

By Friday night, 7,600 members – all of whom have given their membership numbers – had signed a petition calling for the vote.

Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch, the former party treasurer who organised the petition, said “several MPs” had started to “make noises” about supporting his campaign.

Michael Fabricant, a Johnson loyalist, became the first MP to support the “Bring Back Boris” campaign, telling The Telegraph: “MPs have clearly misread the mood of the party membership on this and so many other matters.

“If I thought Boris were keen – despite the treachery of his ministers – to carry on, I would support Peter Cruddas’s campaign in the blink of an eye.”

One Cabinet minister loyal to Mr Johnson was also supportive, saying: “There is complete and utter despair and disbelief at what has happened.

“It is no wonder that the grassroots members feel their voices have been cancelled out by a minority in the Parliamentary party. These are the same people who year after year, decade after decade, have chosen to silence the membership of the Conservative Party for their own preferment and betterment. And that is wrong.”

The worry now will be that if more MPs come out in support of the campaign to bring back Mr Johnson it will undermine the leadership contest between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss.

As many as 50 Conservative MPs attended a lunch at Chequers with him last Sunday.

Well, that explains why the Torygraph were also running a story today about how Boris would be facing a by-election if he is found to have misled Parliament. Now he's useless, the Tories are going to stop protecting him to make sure he doesn't try to make a comeback. They'll vote to suspend him for the shortest amount of time that will trigger a by-election, then they'll deselect him.

I mean I don't want to overstate it, but within the first 100 days of PM Truss I thoroughly expect:
  • The UK to have invaded the Falklands
  • American 'pork' products to be legalised in the UK to solve the cost of living crisis
  • Ireland to take the bonfire of EU laws as a good opportunity to unify ahead of the 2024 schedule
  • Children to be made illegal so they can't make her evict Boris. She's quite happy living at number 11 thank you.
  • The queen to kark it and the ardent republican to start a civil war by wearing the wrong colour blouse to the coronation of Charles
  • Every type of cheese except Red Leicester outlawed
  • A proposal to solve the energy crisis with some sort of hampster wheel mechanism powered by Boris Bikes Truss Cycles
  • Us to be in a shooting war with Russia
The last one is obviously great for posadists and the nuclear winter might cool us off a tad, but not ideal.
