This'll fix it.
If only somebody had thought of getting MPs together and telling them to get their act together. And "message discipline"- as if we don't hear the same bollocks enough already.
Looks like the bastard love child of Nick Timothy and Bighead from Spiked. Or Garry Bushell on his way to a court appearance.
Chuck in Lord Siberia's whiskers and you've got a full identikit.

Given up, preparing for opposition, part 94.
Toughen it up? They’re already sending some of the most desperate people in the world to a country where they'll probably be shot almost purely for performative cruelty. What could they add in - guaranteeing they’ll shoot the plane down on the way? Fill it with bees? Book Jim Davidson for the in-flight entertainment???

Alex Chalk ought to walk out. He knows that Team Sunak was lying about his policy.
In his Commons written statement on this Alex Chalk, the justice secretary, does say: “The decision on whether to deploy additional judges temporarily to the Upper Tribunal, including when they sit and the courtrooms they use, is for the independent judiciary and will be taken by the relevant leadership judges at the time and in the interests of justice.” But this nuance may not have been obvious to people following the announcement, first made public in the Times under the headline “Sunak to draft 150 judges to fast-track Rwanda appeals”.

He knew.

I see that Isaac Levido "reading the riot act" had no effect at all.

I'm old enough to remember when David Cameron was allowed to dodge questions about how much coke he'd taken as it was his "life before politics". What happened to that principle?
I wouldn't be surprised if Labour had a few things on Sunak in his City phase for the campaign.

A shot across the bow on Sunak’s pre politics career might restore some balance of power. Or else the Tories will drag up a Willie Horton type character every week that the CPS refused to prosecute.
Sunak was part of a group of hedge fund managers who shared nearly £100m after an audacious stock market bet that triggered the financial crisis, according to The Times newspaper.
He was a partner at the hedge fund TCI when it launched a campaign against the Dutch bank ABN Amro forcing its sale to the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) triggering a chain of events leading to the crash. “His role in TCI between 2006-2009 made him a millionaire in his mid-twenties,” the paper said. https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/amp ... on-diary-3

Oh man. It's even worse than you think. Sunak's argument was "He's only interested in lefty lawyers, and the evidence is he wrote a textbook!" Me neither.
Not even the current Tory MPs sound impressed with Sunak's "coup de theatre". Gillian Keegan like it, by the look of it. Alex Chalk, Attorney General, must have lost the will to live.

You know who else hates books.
MAGAs that's who.
All that anti-book larnin plays well with the cousin fuckers in Crackerville Mississippi.
The good folks of Clacton and Stoke have an opportunity to prove that Deliverance couldn't happen here.

Tata Steel to shut down Port Talbot blast furnaces, putting 3,000 jobs at risk
Port Talbot was massively Brexit voting- they made us in the next door in Neath look like Islington. I would venture that a lot of them thought Brexit meant the Government coming in and stopping stuff like this happening. No insult to those voters intended, that was a perfectly coherent view they took.
This isn't likely to help Sunak very much, I reckon.
