Re: In todays news...
Years ago, on holiday in Falmouth, a large part of the beach was fenced off into sections.
In each, a group built an enormous sand heap. Groups ranged from father and two young kids through eight or so teenage lads.
They heaped massive constructions then, as the tide came in, climbed on top. And waited. Winner was the last one to have everyone still on top.
Last man standing, on a castle of crumbling sand.
Watching the news this afternoon and evening was the closest to it I've seen since.

Re: In todays news...
It's all getting a bit silly now, Newsnight saying he's lost 40 members of government in 24 hrs and his cabinet are telling him he's done. But he ain't going anywhere the dude just don't care he's gone full on Hitler in the bunker. At this rate he'll be asking the fat 40-50 year olds in the 6's to be getting their boots on for the job.
In the meantime the economy is in a complete nosedive while this bollocks goes on.

Re: In todays news...
But that is nothing new? He's always been like that. Only have to look at his past exploits to know that he really doesn't understand wrong from right. And yet he still became PM

Re: In todays news...
Couldn't agree more.
Never understood why he managed to get so far in the first place.
In fact I wouldn't even have given him the job of milk monitor. If your old enough then you'll understand that one.

Re: In todays news...
Of course he knows he has done wrong, he won't admit to it, he's an MP, they are all lying scum!
It's their job to misinform you of their wrong doings. They will only truthfully inform you of something if it benefits them!

Re: In todays news...
Hallelujah!
This will not reflect well on the UK - having to force out a clearly incompetent, untrustworthy and truth-shy prime minister.

Re: In todays news...
I'll hold on the rejoicing until I see who the party faithful think is an appropriate replacement. Both main parties seem to manage to get it wrong more often than right in recent years. (Lib Dems just look around and see who's left).

Re: In todays news...
Now there's a surprise.
Can't see it happening though.
Slim possibility that a general election is on the cards?

Re: In todays news...
Sadly we're back to Conservative Party members selecting the next leader of the Party and subsequently the next Prime Minister.
Let's face it, they haven't exactly got good form in this endeavour and there's not much talent to choose from. It doesn't look good tbh.
