Dorries was asked to stay but decided to return to writing her books... Shapps has to go. Along with the lobbyists running the DoT More money in books I suppose. I would imagine Culture will go to someone like Kemi Badenoch or Penny Mordaunt. Transport is a bit trickier but they need someone new to reset things.

Did anyone else have a big storm last night? Lashing down, some great thunder and lightning??
Thought it quite apt with Liz Truss being confirmed as the new Tory leader

Poor Nadine Dorries think that Boris is going to grant her a seat in the House of Lords. Has she no idea what a complete barsteward he is to any woman daft enough to fall for his dubious charms ( even when the devotion is unreciprocated)?

Apparently there are over 300 people on his "thank you" list.

On the BBC website, saying his farewell speech is being fact checked: why bother? He’s proven to be a liar on several occasions, let’s just get rid but unfortunately like Blair, Cameron and May have shown, now the proper lining his wallet will begin…

I’m tempted to change the thread title to a news app notification that came through on my phone yesterday “In Liz We Truss?” 😂
Made me chuckle anyway 😐

IAC would be good (think of the maggot and kangaroo balls he can eat) or maybe Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins.

We now have a seven-car motorcade, plus motorbike outriders, making its way from Northolt. That's not quite at US levels just yet, but it seems a little unnecessary. At least there's no ambulance!
The Queen somehow manages to get by with her Bentley, a VW minibus and a couple of policecars.

Very, very worrying times. I trust her less than Boris Johnson.

Priti Patel resigns in wake of the news. Every cloud. What’s the dynamic there? Is PP likely to end up in a different position of power?

Starmer has an open goal for the next General Election, but he's quite good at missing those.
The danger is that it's fought not by Truss but a rehabilitated Johnson.

I can't imagine Boris returning, too much dosh to be made on the speaking circuit alone.
