We mustn’t be too snowflakey about Raab bullying claims, says Rees-Mogg

I had my glasses and top hat stood on frequently at school, never did me any harm.

[Crabcakes]

Let's look at the pattern:

Johnson and chums inexplicably go to bat for Cummings despite the open and shut case against him - transpires they were breaking rules left, right and centre and knew they were all just as in the shit as he was.

The cabinet come out in force to defend Patel against bullying charges. Turns out a fair few of them are up for bullying charges.

Mogg turns out for Raab and says let's not judge too harshly. Wonder why...?

[Andy McDandy]

A chap doesn't peach on another chap, and the lower orders need to know their place.

[Abernathy]

What was it again? “Time to circle the wagons for the Pritster”.

Ding dang sure !

What a truly repulsive cunt Johnson is.

[davidjay]

Sometimes, even with these bastards, words fail at their sense of entitlement.

What was it again? “Time to circle the wagons for the Pritster”.

Ding dang sure !

What a truly repulsive cunt Johnson is.

When they circled the wagons, it was to keep the Indians outside.
Something the Pritster has found out the hard way.

I wonder how the haunted pencil took this news? It was, after all, the pet project which gave him a hard-on.

The "bonfire" of EU legislation by the government is to scrap less than a quarter of the estimated European laws on statute books, MPs have been told.

Sky News understands Eurosceptic Tory MPs were told by Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch just 800 of roughly 4,000 laws are expected to be ditched by the end of this year...

People near the Moggster should keep an eye out for low-flying toys.

[Dalem Lake]

What's the betting that 800 will be whittled down even further when the government realise it actually involves planning and work scrapping or replacing those laws.

[Tubby Isaacs]

800 still sounds like a lot. Any chance that a few unintentional loopholes could be left?

[Andy McDandy]

I doubt he even cares. Everything about him is performative; he'd have backed Remain if he thought it benefited him more. His only concern as a minister was being in control of things*.

*And people. See Pratchett's comments on sin.

This right-wing fuckloon is getting more deranged by the day

Jacob Rees-Mogg has said Brexit allowed Britain to show "global leadership" over Ukraine, making it "impossible for Putin to succeed".

The 53-year-old former Tory cabinet minister made the argument after being asked on Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme about what had been the main benefits of leaving the EU.

Mr Rees-Mogg said: "The leadership shown by Boris Johnson, which he could only do because he was not bound by sincere cooperation, ensured that a coalition was set up which made it impossible for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin so succeed...

Putin saw a possible split in the united front of the EU, saw how many Tories were sucking on the Russian tit, and decided to go for it. The fact that the recipient of so much Russia money went down the anti-Russia route must have come as a surprise.

Sunak has no relatives in cabinet so Mogg is suggesting the PM picking who he wants for ministers resembles the Borgias. He looks more like the oily posh con man from that he is by the day. Sells Rigsby oil shares in the Pennines.

[mattomac]

I have to say Ridge made him look even more of a prick.

He thinks this stuff makes him look educated but it doesn’t it’s basic wiki skim reading garbage, shown up when he attempted to write a book.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

But he thinks it is clever.

Tom James came to mind, a slick Senator on Veep played by Hugh Laurie who bullshits his way in life via Google. Asking saw mill workers for their favourite types of plywood which he knows the names of.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Umm...

[Crabcakes]

It’s like his laughable, and contradiction-riddled ‘style guide’ he released. I don’t know of a single editor who didn’t think it was a fucking joke.

[Bones McCoy]

It angers me that these inbred mutants occupied quality university places.
Opportunity denied to clever (but less connected) applicants.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I'm sure you've been there, too, when you have a very good candidate who loses out to someone less talented but better connected...

Ohh fucking yes, especially during my relatively brief stint in the newspaper industry,

When a college asked me

Why did we give that scholkid a guided tour of our data room?

That was the gaffer's son, odd on he's our boss in a couple of years.

I'd left by then, but it came to pass.
