The United Kingdom: The Liz Truss CRASHING THE PORK MARKET WEEKS 🐷🐖📉📅🥬

Aside: I genuinely can't tell whether one-time Tory villain Sayeeda Warsi has made a dramatic evolution for the better over the past decade, or whether the current crop are so cartoonishly morally bankrupt that she just looks much more reasonable by comparison.

Either way, enjoyed this:

 
In other news, seems like Rebellion is stirring among Tory backbenchers over Labour's anti-fracking vote



I think it was Pippa Crerar who was suggesting that the Tories walked right into Labour's trap with their three-line whip on the fracking bill. There are dozens of Tory MPs opposed to fracking and it's only dividing the party further. :disco:
 
Aren't many opposed because their appointment as an MP depends on it (their consitituents have told them no way). Tories putting them in an impossible situation. What a choice for a three line whip.

The line this morning was 'This vote to ban fracking is essentially a vote of confidence in the government'

To which I'm imagining a fair few of the backbench Tories in those safe rural seats are currently thinking - FINE! :basil:

On the other hand, I wonder if the strategy was to kick some of the MPs gunning for her out of the party so she doesn't cross that 33% threshold?

Cooper is basically reading out Braverman’s letter in the Commons now as a point of order.
 
For those who have been at work and not able to catch up, shall we have a convenient recap?



UK 2022. Nothing to see here.
 
I wonder how many Tory MPs considering a rebellion tonight will be factoring in that they might have a better chance of keeping their seat if they do get themselves thrown out of the Tory party.

Yes, I was thinking this earlier. There must be some with decent majorities and reasonably good reputations as local MPs who think it's a better chance of a political future than remaining in it.
 
Why is she effectively calling a confidence vote on herself, is she THICK, or is she looking for a way out?

Or does she just LOVE FRACKING SO MUCH she’s risking EVERYTHING FOR IT!!!
 
Every time I think this absolute shambles couldn't get any worse...seeing Suella get the boot is delightful tho'. I hope the witless arsepiece is furious.

This is utterly farcical. The minister is refusing to confirm whether it is a confidence vote.
