ladyfiona 2,589 Posted October 22, 2022 Penny may get some votes based off her interview with Laura K in the morning. Jacob Rees-Mogg will be there to cheer on Boris as well. If Boris was serious about this he'd be there himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted October 23, 2022 Boris seems to have made himself look a right tit if this bears out. He'd have probably looked better sitting it out at the start. The whole Churchillian return bollox was too tempting for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd have probably looked better sitting it out at the start. The whole Churchillian return bollox was too tempting for him There was no Churchillian return. Churchill lost and election but stayed on as party leader and won the next election. A bit different to most of your party turfing you out because you're shite and then maybe taking you back because you are marginally less shite than the shitshow they replaced you with.
