The Tory leadership contender Boris Johnson has argued that the party will be facing ‘possible extinction’ if they do not get Brexit over the line. Speaking at a leadership hustings, the former Foreign Secretary and Mayor of London said that his party would ‘not be forgiven’ for failing to deliver on the referendum result. Johnson is now setting out his stall as the voice of Brexiteers in the Tory Party.
He needs to get them all on side to secure the nomination, Gerry thinks…
Six MPs have left Change UK, the party formed from the Independent Group of disenfranchised former Labour and Conservatives politicians. Anna Soubry has now become the new leader of the party, as Chuka Umunna, Heidi Allen, Gavin Shukar, Sarah Wollaston and Luciana Berger go back to their original places in the Independent Group.
Join the PFJ, Gerry says…
After the palatial splendour of his first day of a State Visit to Britain, Donald Trump is actually do something perhaps productive and less costly by today meeting Theresa May in Downing Street. With May on the way to her political exit, the two do not have that much to discuss, although it is expected that the President will mention how much he admires Boris Johnson, no-deal Brexit and essentially everything else that the prime minister has spent her lugubrious time in office fighting against.
Sounds like great fun to Gerry…
The UK is preparing for the state visit of the world’s largest human buffoon, as Donald Trump flies over to visit the Queen and tour London. The POTUS will meet Theresa May for meetings and also take part in memorials for D-Day. He will also be attending a state banquet tonight, and getting a tour of Westminster Abbey. Protests are expected throughout the trip.
Gerry does not want to see him…
With Jo Swinson having confirmed that she will be running in the race to become the next Lib Dem leader, the race now seems complete of all candidates. The race is now between Swinson and Edward Davey, who announced his candidacy earlier yesterday. Swinson is currently the favourite and is garnering most of the Party establishment support.
Gerry is backing her…
The mad-hat Tory leadership candidate Esther McVey has said that parents should have the ‘final say’ over whether their children are educated about LGBT issues at school. Fellow Conservative MP Justine Greening said that you cannot ‘pick and choose on human rights and equality’, but McVey will not be deterred by the opportunity to adhere to the prejudices of the well-known reactionaries that make up the Tory Party leadership.
Silly woman, Gerry says…
Boris Johnson has been ordered to appear in court over the claims he made in the 2016 referendum campaign. He faces claims of misconduct in public office for making the infamous claim that Britain sent £350 million to the EU each week. Boris’ allies have of course called it a ‘stunt.’
Gerry will enjoy watching it…
