They're all leaving...Sunak and Javid Quit

[TestMangler]

The country has been doomed for years - the blind worshipping of the Conservative Party, the manipulation to convince their followers that the “Main Stream Media” is all left wing, that BLoJo is the best Prime Minister ever, that Brexit has been completed and is an overwhelming success (or where it’s not a success it’s because of everyone else). Calling everyone who didn’t go to Oxbridge “Elite”, and members of the Bullingdon Club aren’t. You want to see the problem? It’s Newspeak.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Well, I could but it would have had loads of c**ts and f**ks in it.

Is George Orwell of the syllabuses yet?

That's btw partly why the government wants to stop poor people doing Humanities degree. Can't have more enlightened people as they will be uncontrollable.

It appears the person causing the problem was Nadhim Zahawi, but at least he's been sacked as the Education Secretary, so his control over finance will have gone.
Oh, no, wait...

Every time I go and do something else more resign.

BTW if Boris Johnson calls a snap general election his own seat isn't safe.

I didn't need to cite a reference because I was stating something that has been quoted in lots of place in the last few weeks, and I thought this forum contained people who were up to date with current affairs (or at least had the skill to Google).

13 have gone.

Robin Walker (who?) Schools minister in the last minute

I'm going for a run in a bit, expecting most to have gone by time I get back.

Make or break for lots of careers here depending which mast you nail your flag to. Resigning a classic play for a future leadership bid but I am a bit surprised anyone really thinks Boris can survive. Maybe they think his original fan-base will reward their loyalty?
