Apparently some Labour MPs recorded the lobby bullying on their phones. I hope they upload the footage

Not unreasonably, lions don’t like eating pure shite.

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
I mean not that we should expect better but - physically forcing someone into a voting lobby seems like something that should be taken up with the Speaker, no?

Being an American, I am not always hip to the certain.. subtleties of the British Politic System. But I have to know. Is it normal to have the devil show up in the UK in a Halloween-level "I am a normal Human" costume , and more importantly, get appointed to one of the most powerful posts in government?



(Considering this a Reuters photog who took this, I imagine their cameras have a good amount of red-correction, so the devil's eyes look must really be natural.. or the photog has it in for Shapps)

That's an incredible statement from a backbencher

Like this is pure, unbridled chaos. Liz Truss could not have murdered the Tory party like she did the Queen any better if she actually tried to actively sabotage them

Struggling to imagine what they could possibly sink to before they collapse. Open warfare with a bit of violence thrown in seems like the final stage before they'd happily VONC themselves just to end it.

Shapps isn't the devil. He's at best a low tier demon with his dick stuck in a wheelie bin lid

Truss deserves the grief for setting light to the British economy, BUT she did piss on its burning corpse so she's really part of the solution when you think about it in a grownup manner.

I picked the right/wrong evening to have a three and a half hour train journey in a truncated two-carriage rattlebox. This thread and twitter should pass the time beautifully.

I picked the wrong evening to take a 2hr nana nap from 615-815pm.... this is all so exciting I've had to mute the tv so I can concentrate on catching up!


Thing is, this kind of thing (maybe not QUITE so bad) is what I expected would happen had Corbyn won an election - MPs in open revolt, crossing the floor & so on.
(NOT saying Corbyn is anything like Truss obviously but very unpopular with the PLP so they would have undermined him at any opportunity).
