^^^ Seems a fair description of most MPs. And, for that matter, what has the "Prime Minister" been doing for the last few weeks whilst the country has been in crisis - well, apart from taking two foreign holidays (that we know of)? As for "workshy <duck>", can you blame ducks for being workshy when MPs are claiming expenses to build them luxury floating duck houses? www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/may/23/mps-expenses-conservatives

Cant wait for Ronnie to rock up at Heathrow with his brand new shiny tartan passport only to be told its not vaild, meanwhile we proper Brits with our blue passports of the realm will just make our way to business class. I heard the jock embassay will be operating out of a noodle shop in samut prakarn, limited opening hours, and jock pesos not acceptable, notes of the realm only. That would be The Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland I assume? Rubes brown nosing to Ronnie will not get you the soon to be vacant moderator's position. He is made of sterner stuff, what's required are brown envelopes and plenty of 'em.

After all English is still only a 2nd or maybe 3rd language to me. As for moderation position I'm afraid I would have to decline. I would find it difficult to properly combine the moderator's function with being a normal poster without one influencing the other unduly. Mind you, I do have to check on those brown envelopes, as law abiding citizen I mean

"A normal poster"! Surely you jest. Tjeez CM, don't we all have fun here? We find your relative sobriety very disturbing Uncle rubl. Almost as bad as sitting in a cafe sipping your coffee without your head in a mobile phone. You're probably a psychopath. Apologies to the rest of the members....I know you're all terrified of him but someone needed to say it.

The latest rumour has Liz Truss appoint Kwasi Kwarteng counselor who said "it would be nice to have a female chief whip!"

I guess the latest polls show more a protest against Liz Truss' plans than a liking for Starmer and Labour. BTW does the below suggest a belief in the 'trickle down effect' of tax cuts? "Truss – the runaway leader in the contest to be the next Tory party leader and prime minister – is insisting she will resist more “handouts” to those struggling most with the cost of living, an approach she describes as “Gordon Brown economics”. Instead, she says, she will use tax cuts as a way to boost the economy – despite warnings from economists and senior Tory colleagues that this will merely stoke and embed inflation." www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/aug/20/labour-surges-as-tory-fears-grow-over-trusss-tax-cut-agenda

Well since he painted a word picture of himself all camo'd up and striding around heavily armed seeking out undesirables, what do you expect.? We have to be a bit wary to say the least.

This seems rather appropriate although not typical for British elections only.
