General election imminent?

[Wilson]

Michael Gove is rumoured to take over Brexit negotiations. That's utterly terrifying. We need a general election so Keir Starmer, who's qualified, personable & actually has some integrity, can take over.

The tribal, political side of me is thinking 'let the Tories carry on fucking this up and let them own this mess 100%'... Obviously terrible for the country so #GeneralElectionNow

Kier Starmer is a barrister, that sounds better than Gove who seems devoid of any qualifications and/or any kind of personality.

I'm conflicted with Gove, he writes and speaks well and is undoubtedly very clever. He's adopted and looks like Pob but has managed to get to the heights of power.

Are we talking about the same Michael Gove?

You often get shits moving up quite high because they don’t care about doing the dirty work that others, with a conscience, just couldn’t do/say.

There have been plenty of dead man's shoes to fill in the Tory party recently - just think, keep your nose clean as a backbench MP and soon you can be Home Sec .... or even PM....

Yes, he's a very effective politician.

As someone who experiences the effects of his time as Education Secretary every day, you can fuck off with your "he's an effective politician". I'm genuinely shocked you said that Stooo.

Looks like she is going to hang on grimly, like a bad smell, and plough on regardless.

It matters not - she is a dead woman walking.

There’s a rowdy rabble outside Parliament.

With pitchforks and ropes?

They won’t show them but they sound really angry.
It could just be one very loud man.

I got the impression it was Remainers and Brexiteers competing with each other. Both equally irritating.

Gove cost me a few quid for Maths re-takes around five years ago when Education kept moving the goalposts under his watch; don't get me wrong, I can't stand the man. However, he's still at the top of his game in a shark tank.

Well those people shouting and actually howling at times outside parliament all day have certainly been annoying.

Almost as much as the ones inside doing it.

Yes this. He did not give a crap about the harm he was doing. I doubt he cares about the fisherman either.

Shark Tank? the Tory party is a cesspool of idiots (Liam Fox, Theresa May), Lunatics (Andrea Leadsom, Nadine Dorres) and idiotic lunatics (Jacob Rees-Mogg, Boris Johnson).

I suspect the plan to make him Brexit secretary is a further sign of how little they regard him:
the role is meaningless as shown by the fact the last guy quit because he didn't like the deal he was supposed to be in charge of

Agreed, the current bunch of Tories are a shambles, but looking across the HOC I shudder to think what would happen if that hapless bunch got in.

Where's Oliver Cromwell when we need him? The people should turf the lot of them out of the office and go for a GE to try and get some fresh competent people elected.

I guess he agrees that you cannot sugarcoat a turd and does not want his name attached to it.

After sacking her over the Windrush scandal, Theresa May has made Amber Rudd Minister for work and pensions.

It should've been Theresa May who resigned over that and this new role of Rudd's demonstrates what a hollow gesture the sacking was. They couldn't give a flying fuck about the lives they ruined with their "We can deport first and hear appeals later" hostile environment.

I genuinely despise these people.
