Party treasurer Colin Beattie is the latest SNP bigwig to get the police treatment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65309791

 

He's my MSP. Wonder if he'll mention this in the next constituency newsletter?


I also wonder how EastEnders are gonna write Phil Mitchell out of the soap.

Justice Secretary and Deputy PM Dominic Raab has resigned from the government over the bullying report.

 

Obviously it’s all the lefty lawyers’ fault that Raab was found to have been a 28-carat arsehole to his colleagues.

 

Sunak was handed the report before midday yesterday and, despite his pledge to lead a government of integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level, was as usual too weak to act upon the findings, instead letting Raab get away with an apology-free resignation that hits out at the report.

 

Can’t wait to sack this shower of shit at the next GE.

Esteemed statesman Dominic Raab jumps before he's pushed resigns. Such a tragic loss of talent.

Goes with extremely poor grace like Boris before him. Unfortunately it makes Sunak look weak or a poor judge of character either way

Raab's presence in the cabinet at all, let alone for several years and in high office, suggests poor judgement of character is widespread.

Well, this is the man who re-hired Leaky Sue just a week after she was handed her sandwiches in a road map by Liz Truss of all people.

In Johnson's cabinet he clearly didn't want anyone more charismatic or competent than him which explained the presence of Nadine Dorries but Sunak is clearly trying to hold the disparate wings of the party together

Lest we forget...

 

Raab was a do nothing interim leader while Johnson allegedly laid in intensive care, frightened to take any big decisions for fear of angering the blonde blob, contributing to delays in implementing COVID preventative measures.

 

Raab was the Foreign Secretary who sat on his arse on holiday while Afghanistan fell, for which he was sacked.

 

He responds to allegations of bullying just as you would expect from a bully - everyone else is wrong and he is right.

 

Now we expect yet another reshuffle among this bunch of self-entitled millionaires, using the levers of power to line their own pockets or the pockets of their wives or local pub landlords.

 

Could they get any worse than Major's sleaze ridden administration?

New Justice Secretary I’m seeing is going to be Alex Chalk KC, who’s in No.10 with Rishi Noknackers right now.

 

No idea who Alex Chalk is, but I’m sure some cunt will come up with a pun or two.

He's MP for Cheltenham, the Lib Dems 5th biggest target. They need a swing of less than 0.9% to win it.

Raab’s been projected to lose Esher to the Lib Dems for a while too. It was close even in 2019.

Dowden. Deputy fucking Prime Minister. We’re down to the last cruddy driblets of moisture underneath the bottom of the barrel now.

Aye, Esher's 9th on that list (and tbh it'll go imo, once you prove something is possible to voters they tend to vote for it). Just for context, the super marginal Lib Dem perennial targets/swing seats of St Ives and Eastbourne are actually more marginal than Esher or Cheltenham.

I live in Cheltenham when it fell to the Lib Dems in 92 after the local long serving Tory MP retired. It is natural LD territory, they had run the council before that

You forgot his stint as Brexit Secretary where he revealed he didn't realise the UK was so reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing... :facepalm: :banghead:

Dominic Raab must take the cake as just about the worst, most incompetent holder of high office in the history of UK cabinet government. A total plank.
