US District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil agreed with Fox's premise, adding that the network "persuasively argues" that "given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statements he makes."

bannedfromHandV Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Penny Mordaunt is like a scary version of Karen Brady. Selling herself as the continuity option too so let’s hope she doesn’t win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with competency, ability or experience. You kiss his arse and you’ll be rewarded. Go against him and you’re out.

Well I guess he kind of did **** it for himself in the end so there is some truth in that. This is the right winger line at the moment though isn't it, the big bad 'globalists' and the 'WEF', great reset yadda yadda. Idiots.

Davkaus Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Eton-educated, Bullingdon Club member Alexander De Pfeffel Johnson, started on the right track, but fell off the rails once he started rubbing shoulders with the elite.

Once you take it out all the serving MP’s who are subject to ongoing investigations it really doesn’t leave many to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy league educated from a rich family, once liberal, figured out there's money to be made on the brainless white masses, turned Trump-arselicker, gun touting, anti-abortion grifter. The sooner the world is free of his ilk it'll be a much better place. Edited July 13, 2022 by magnkarl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 One of the worst things about this leadership election is that, due to being aimed at MPs and the membership, it's truly a race to the bottom. Mordaunt, not anti-trans is now turning into one of the most extreme anti-trans candidates to distance herself from her normal pro-trans stances. Truss, a remainer, is turning into an extreme Brexiteer. it's **** up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are corrupt to their very core and they should never be anywhere near any form of power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Johnson may have inadvertently let slip that the leader could be selected next week without it going to the members and today being his last PMQ's. Or it could be a load of nonsense. He has mentally checked out and I am sure is planning lots of money making opportunities. Unfortunately we haven't seen the last of him.

Genie Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I didn’t see it but saw the headline that he said he would “leave with his head held high” The gas lighting of his disastrous tenure has started then. Sacked. Sacked by your own party as a criminal after 1 too many scandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
