    It is not 2 years - they've only till Autumn 2024 - any later would be because they want to delay being chucked out a few months since winter elections lose votes for the party seen to trigger them.

    You only have to look at the polls, dark clouds still sweeping over & the lack of talent in the #toriesOut party to know they are in the end game - it would take a major event (more than eg #starmer resigning or the #fatController regaining tory leadership)

    But you never know!

  2. @RalphBrooker @lassielmr

    As the cliche goes revenge is a dish best served cold

    But actually I have little time for it - let it go, you will feel better.

    The #fatController is already coining millions as an honoured guest of the rich & right-wing - you can't touch him really - though if you see him out in public ALWAYS boo him - he hates it & you will feel better.

    What matters is the immediate future and how best to rescue the prospects of millions blighted by #brexit

  3. Keir #Starmer meets Ukraine's President Zelensky in Kyiv

    Kind of predictable..... #zelensky will be pally with anyone who might help the #ukraine war effort, and given the polls of course welcomes the UK LOTO - this bloody war will not be over anytime soon

    It pleases me every time a UK politician who is not the dreadful #fatController is welcomed - the populist BS #specialReputation he has amongst the superficial is slowly deflating. That is the trouble with hot air - it escapes eventually

  8. Richard Sharp: PM declines to say if he backs under fire BBC chairman

    #sunak needs to demonstrate some leadership at some point rather than hiding behind judges & review bodies....... what is the point of him really? Is he simply keeping the seat warm for the #fatController to slip into later? He must realise that the latter is not interested in being #LOTO which is all the future holds for whoever is #toriesOut leader.....(my money is on #gove as LOTO BTW )

  9. @PatriciaLewis @TJ1001

    I wish..... but at least 10 yrs after what they put us through.......and then only if they get rid of the septics like #30pLee, #ReesMogg #SuellaBraverman
    and of course the #fatController

  10. @abbadon

    Well I used several

    #fatController is a reference to thomasTheTankEngine - but also the the overweight #vacuumOfIntegrity scumbag who used to run the UK govt.

    It is not intended as sizeist

    #fagEndPM refers to the current UK PM being at the squalid and unimportant end of the dismal period in the UK -

    The term "fag" has no sexual connotation in English English but is slang for cigarette - a fagEnd is therefore the dirty remaining artefact left by the ignoble act of smoking

  11. President #Zelensky in first UK visit since invasion of Ukraine

    I see #sunak is in his face for publicity photo - just to show there is at least one world leader he is taller than

    However in reputational stature, the #Ukraine leader towers over the #minor figure we have as #fagEndPM for dismal #cameronToryEra

    If #sunak can manage to prevent the #fatController getting a photo-op with Zelensky in the #UK he would be doing some good - though not to sales of sickBags

  12. @BonehouseWasps

    I rather like the #truss #sunak #fatController #soapOpera - the three meerkateers fighting for the "soul" of the #toriesOut party (as though such a heartless organisation could ever have a soul..... )

    The #windsor soap (soup?) is as stale & musty as #downton - and about as relevent.

  13. Sunak reshuffle: PM expected to reshape government departments

    #sunak poised to re-arrange the deck-chairs.....

    Will the band play on?
    Was #Truss auditioning to play #kateWinslet to his #leonardoDiCaprio ?

    can this shoddy remake get to the end credits without the #fatController blundering onto the screen like a mashup with #kingKong

  14. Well @vishybear I would focus my ire on the #wealthy who made a killing from impoverishing the country rather than the naive who believed what public school rats like #farage #reesMogg and the #fatController told them

    You are shooting the wrong target mate

  15. @jaycee

    Do such people believe in anything? Other than what suits their own short-term interests, that is

    The #fatController may have been the most obvious, but there are several others in the #toriesOut ranks devoid of any principle other than that of self-advancement

  16. @NickPerks

    The only surprise is that the #UK despite the #fatController poisoning the waters (literally & metaphorically) in office for 3 years the #UK remains ranked as high as 18th (down from 8th)

    It means there are considerable additional depths the #toriesOut could plumb, given the opportunity

    I suggest we ensure #reesMogg & other members of this #ghastlyCrew have that opportunity removed at the earliest possible moment.

  17. "Both Mr Sharp and Mr Johnson have said that Mr Sharp was not involved in arranging a loan for the then-prime minister, and say that neither man acted with any conflict of interest"

    So #fatController as Henry II with "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" substituted by "how can I raise £800,000?" uttered - possibly more than once - within earshot of various people relying on his patronage?

    How else was the loan arranged?

  18. @paulusthewoodgnome

    Actually I would be - slightly

    Davis always struck me as a person who beleives he acts on principle, but actually is a bit thick & of course right-wing

    Not exactly the same as the #fatController , superrich Rishi or #taxCheats like #zahawi

  19. @selzero

    Nope sorry - don't get your point

    Any UK leader is constrained - by the need to get elected, by what the #UK can expect others to accept, by what we can afford and in balancing competing interests for limited resources

    You can of course ignore all that and promise whatever sounds good - that is what the #fatController did

    But that is in part why his govt fell apart like a cheap suit (except of course it cost us billions - as did his successor)

  20. @selzero

    (yawn) #singleMarket access to the #EU requires the quid-pro-quo of #freedomOfMovement

    If you wanted to ensure another term of toxic #toriesOut government then advocating that is the surest route to seeing #sunak / #fatController win 5 more years of absoute power for them to further enrich themselves

  21. @MartinFarrent @gotofritz @MimiJ9

    #cakeism was a mirage conjured up by the #fatController that never existed, and does not now get referenced often - even by #planks like #reesMogg

    There is only one way to salvage some of what we lost with #brexit - cooperate wth the #EU and agree #alignment to mutual benefit

    No chance of that with the #toriesOut in power

  22. @johnelalamo

    They know fine well - war strips things back & I doubt they will have time to spend in future on a former friend who is now powerless - this is I think #zelensky doing the #fatController a favour for old times sake, but I rather doubt he would welcome him again

  23. @TallPauly @davidtoddmccarty

    For the avoidance of doubt - I voted #labour in 2017 & 2019

    And kept my reservations to myself as they screwed it up

    Corbyn could even have refused that 2019 election as the fixed term parliament act prevented the #fatController calling an election himself.

  24. @ishabluebell

    Never fear - #toriesOut putting the #fatController in again will change nothing - they are toast......

  25. @AgainstLies

    Another spectacular success chalked up to the #fatController

    - london buses costing 2x what they should & 2m longer to include an unused servants staircase
    - a cablecar nobody uses
    - illegal watercannon bought then sold for scrap
    - millions on #gardenBridge never built intended for rich to throw parties on at ratepayer expense
    - ditto on plans for an estuary airport that would have destoyed one of the most valuable marine bird habitats in Europe

    We are well shot of the #Ego

  26. @ishabluebell

    Bringing the #fatController back will not save the #toriesOut from losing power.

    I rather doubt the lazy, lying ego will relish being #loto for an indefinite period after the #nextGE so if they are stupid enough to replace #sunak with him they will again run thru three leaders over a short period.

    I wonder - could #starmer break the record for number of #tory leaders faced as #labourLeader ? That would make 5 if you count the ego twice
