This has to be for public consumption - because no sane person would even start to believe the garbage it contains!!

Tory WhatsApp group screenshots leaked to Sky, with Nadine Dorris (sic) getting banned by Steve Baker for mindless defence of Johnson and some very unfiltered Brexit comments...
Marcus Fysh wrote:The whole point of Brexit is radical supply side reform
Ah yes - privatisation, deregulation of labour and financial markets, neutering of trade unions, reduction of welfare benefits, tax cuts for the rich, etc... all promoted in those leaflets and on the side of that bus, right?
Steve Baker wrote:The majority was won for many reasons. Among them, two were critical:

1) the deal he voted for was rejected
2) someone (ahem) but not him persuaded Farage not to run against incumbents.

If Boris had not benefitted from both, we would be on the other benches.
Or perhaps behind bars (wishful thinking) if they'd colluded like that after they outlaw it?

Fascinating - enjoy more here:

I didn't know until this week that Baker was high up in Lehman brothers just before it crashed and nearly took the world economy with it (I wouldn't have relied on him for ordering paperclips).

He has since focussed on returning Britain to the dark ages and is now obviously on manoevres to complete the task for his dark masters.

Not long ago I had never heard of Frost and I hope to forget him very soon.

The same can be said for Baker.

Unfortunately, Johnson has already screwed with my life and I may never get back to my previous "normality". Those who have ridden on his coat-tails are in the same boat, so none would have support from me.

But then again, decisions in the Tory party have nothing to do with me - nor with the majority of those that they will impact. After all, I had my once-in-five-years dose of democracy and my vote was ignored, as usual, in our FPTP system.

Liz Truss to replace Frost.

No, really! Stop laughing! It's on the news!

Johnson obviously doesn't want her to succeed him.

Is Liz Truss the government's version of the empty chair?

Wondertruss who got us a wonderful trade deal with the Aussies and threw our farmers under the bus to do so.

Wondertruss who is trying to be more Margaret Thatcher than the Baroness ever was.

Wondertruss who is determined to climb over anyone who gets in her way of becoming the next PM (right wing Journo discussing this says she is so far up herself and she needs to change her image a tad)

Wondertruss who can be Foreign Secretary and take on the Brexit discussions.

Wondertruss who can support her own ambitions and nothing else.

Thank goodness wondertrusses are not available on the NHS. Only available to Tory members when they vote for the next PM

Remember the day when an extra marital affair meant the Minister had to resign? Wondertruss nearly did not get selected as the PPS candidate as some Norfolk Tories were unhappy about her affair with a Shadow Minister. Both married the affair meant his wife divorced him but her husband forgave her. But Wondertruss smiled at the men and they caved in and selected her

I think you can forget looking for any slection by morality in the Tory party in today's Tory party - after all, what's good for the gander is good for the goose!!

But now that Boris has passed her the poison chalice of rhe EU role, her challenge is over - she will either upset one side of the party or the other, or both!!
