Tories battered

[Paintolerance]

Over a 10% swing to Lab in Wakefield, and an astonishing result in Tiverton

Bang bang Johnson

 

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

Trounced in both Wakefield and Tiverton & Honiton, with Labour securing a swing of 12.7% in West Yorkshire and the Liberal Democrats a huge swing of 30% in Devon.


#out goes the trash.

Nice!! Very Nice. And the bonus ball is that twerp Dowden has quit as leader of the party.

 

[Steer]

What a shame.

Oh well.

 

[locomansimon]

The beginning of the end !

Very interesting letter of resignation too. Offers no support to Johnson himself, rather reaffirms his loyalty to the party. It's rather damning.

And yes, he is a twerp. King of the culture wars. A war he seems to have lost!

That's Bunter off to the Ukraine again then.

The Tory candidate for Tiverton and Honiton locked herself in a room and refused to talk to media 😂

Christ, they're like giant babies aren't they? Still I suppose she can say she's just following the example of her glorious leader.

The British people are waking up, at last, to the fact the Conservative party of yesterday is now being turned into Johnson's fascist party with a cabinet ful of absolute morons.....pray God it continues!!!!

No fridges available?

I wonder why the Tories had the vote of "no confidence in Boris Johnson" before the 2 bye elections?

Surely he would have been ousted after last night.

Isn't his position secure for 12 months under the current rules?

Evidently not!

I suppose at least she didn't try and convince people to vote for her with the inspiring rationale that Tories aren't as bad as Harold Shipman. So she has that over her Wakefield counterpart.

 

[BiggEggo]

She's probably in crisis having had her head forcibly removed from the trough. [Before she even had chance to gorge] How will she manage? Perhaps there's a local foodbank that can assist. Or she cab go back to painting nails in her beauty salon.

The timing was a strategic play by Bunter. A decision he got right. Something of a collector's item.

I think a lot of them wanted to wait. But it was apparently not coordinated or organised, just a trickle of letters going in.

They were quick to say the rules can be changed though. Possible second attempt in the autumn some are saying.

English people. Scots and Welsh are not stupid and don't vote Tory.

 

[ForssAwakens]

i reckon boris Johnson will go further and troll the nation and promote dorries to the culture secretary dowden just vacated

 

[weemoby]

Great news to wake up to!
Happy Friday to one and all.

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

If the voting trend were to play out at the next election - who wins from Lib Dems taking seats?

Rwanda I think you'll find. Could be a long stay.
