Given how many are moving out at the next general election a lot just want to get the hell away from the government rather than joining it, you don't see rats jumping onto a sinking ship.

It's the first time in UK history that four people have job shared as the secretary of defence.

Genuinely, my first reaction to hearing that Liam fox was being touted for a ministerial role was "there are two Tory MPs called Liam Fox? What are the chances?" because my brain just couldn't imagine it was THE Liam Fox that was being considered.

trying to count up how many ministries he's headed up in the last year? there was transport, and business? and energy/climate change, and wasn't he home secretary for like a week during the bojo/truss/sunak fustercluck? and I think everyone has a go at housing for a bit?
so if it takes a couple of months to get up to speed in a new role, he's done absolutely nothing of any value for a year and the stop/start churn of new ministers has fucked any progress in the departments he's headed

I assume if he heads up one more department before the GE he'll get a free hot drink of his choice.

This is the primary reason we need a general election. Imagine running a company and realising your staff were all fucking useless and there was *nothing* you could do about it for five years.

I'm seeing stuff come out of neutral think tanks increasingly stop pulling their punches and just target their advice towards an incoming labour government.

And his replacement at the Energy Department has only been an MP for 4 years and has one junior, junior Ministerial post under her belt.

We are forever stuck in a loop of Brexit Ideology - if you don't believe then you aren't in government.
To have that as a basis for running the country was fucking stupid 6 years ago and even more so now.

Nadine Dorries’ Boris Johnson book in legal delay
I can only assume that all the x-rated sexual fantasies are being vetted, in case they fall afoul of international obscenity laws.

Tories are going to let their mates shaft the public one more time as they aren’t going to be power for a long time and they know it.

Primarily actually because Trump's Hunter Biden dick pic schtick comes off as total projection. And if they've got the filth on Donny, they'll have Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson, because he's such an arrogant, careless twat.

‘She’s totally lost it’: inside story of the unravelling of Liz Truss’s premiership
I'm not sure Truss ever had 'it' in the first place, but this is still a good (and sobering) read.

I very much doubt there's the numbers to actually do anything but it is amusing, Sunak probably wishes the Summer recess could keep going as some Tories have submitted letters of no confidence to the 1922 Committee according to the not exactly reliable Daily Express.
