Even more damaging I think, he was the loyal Boris supporter due to do all the media this morning, this is a clear message to other cabinet members to follow suit, today could be quite interesting.This resignation is just as damaging as the elections outcomes.
They definitely all have a similar look to them. Young Tories especiallyneeds to have the sunglasses and deal with it meme added
Also that blond guy looks a tory, doesn't he?
Like the posh twats in Fresh MeatThey definitely all have a similar look to them. Young Tories especially
My only worry is that when Boris inevitably tanks them, all that shower of incompetence he promoted to positions of power to be his yes-men, will sink with him. Then they might actually promote someone capable. Whereas for example I really look forward to seeing someone like Liz Truss or Nadine Dorries trying to lead them to an election.Also, becoming obvious to many tories that Boris Johnson does not give a feck about the party.
Because Lib Dems are seen as more fiscally conservative than Labour. They also contain a sizeable portion of libertarians among their ranks. Bear in mind that pre-coalition government, Lib Dems had significant presence in those parts, so perhaps quite a few are returning voters. Finally, long-standing animosity towards labour means the protest vote is more likely to go to Lib Dems than the former.So I'm not that up on politics. I try to keep up to date with day to day stuff, but regarding these by elections.
Obviously we have Torys and Labour, so using Tiverton as an example.
Why are the Lib Dems so popular there? (On this vote anyway)
With all going on, it seems people aren't happy with Boris there, so why would they switch to the Libs and not the out and out opposition, Labour?
Labour received 3.7% of the votes, even the Green Party wasn't that far behind.

It was apparently supposed to be Dowden but he quit instead hahaBBC breakfast saying no minister will speak to them.
Young blonde guy is the most Tory looking bloke I’ve ever seen hahaneeds to have the sunglasses and deal with it meme added

Dominic Raab seems to be taking Dowden's place on most outletsIt was apparently supposed to be Dowden but he quit instead haha
Probably the one with the least self awareness and least shame. What’s the line they are talking? My guess is attacking Labour for a poor result in T&H…Dominic Raab seems to be taking Dowden's place on most outlets
I haven't heard him yet, but my tory excuse guess is all post war governments suffer defeats in by elections, carry on dealing with the issues that matter and listen to the people but carry on anyway!Probably the one with the least self awareness and least shame. What’s the line they are talking? My guess is attacking Labour for a poor result in T&H…
I think you'll see that across the country. It's how I would vote if a GE were called today. Boris needs to go but Labour are still not government material at this point. The radical elements remain and Starmer is an empty vessel.Because Lib Dems are seen as more fiscally conservative than Labour. They also contain a sizeable portion of libertarians among their ranks.

Johnson had an 80 seat majority and has got feck all done though.I think you'll see that across the country. It's how I would vote if a GE were called today. Boris needs to go but Labour are still not government material at this point. The radical elements remain and Starmer is an empty vessel.
I just hope we don't descend into a country of coalitions where nothing at all ever gets done.
Wow even Raab isn't doing it, Paul Scully and Robert Buckland are the two that have turned up on Sky! The Tory's are scraping the barrel this morning.Probably the one with the least self awareness and least shame. What’s the line they are talking?

100%. Boris Johnson is the most valuable asset to the other parties in the UK right now. The fact he survived the no confidence vote and another can’t be raised for a year is even better.Excellent news to wake up too, best thing they can do is keep Boris in charge.
The Tory MP on Sky News is incredibly downbeat and sullen. You can see he knows the end is near for Big Dog .Wow even Raab isn't doing it, Paul Scully and Robert Buckland are the two that have turned up on Sky! The Tory's are scraping the barrel this morning.
I couldn't agree more but I worry about what he will put the country through in the next couple of years. On the other hand Truss or Dorries could be even worse for the Tory party.100%.

As much as I’d love to see this Tory government out of power. I feel that keeping them there with Boris in charge is causing more self inflicting long term damage to the Tory’s than any other party could ever inflict on them.
Keep Boris in, keep the status quo and then that’s have a big bang at the next GE.
