    Yet again watching the news on the Brexit saboteur bbc tonight, how the hell are they still standing.

    Haven't read of any of this but they have to sack that blundering, lazy, fat, oaf whose unfathomable popularity in some parts has seen him appointed, cringinely, as Foreign Secretary. Arrogant, privileged, public school buffoon. It's an insult to the rest of us that he continues to embarrass us on the global stage.

    Patel will be gone in the morning. Two more undisclosed & unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials, since she got back from her (working) holiday. At least one took place in parliament and she mis-led May about both.

    Apparently she wants to be PM! I am astounded at how far some people believe in their importance, when all evidence points to the fact that have absolutely no leadership qualities at all.

    Hope Patel gets the boot. One of those sneering Tories that really get my back up.

    Does anyone else get the feeling that Boris will fly out to Iran, they'll release the poor woman and he'll end up being held up as a hero?

    Obviously I've no wish to see her stay in prison but it would be just typical for BJ to rock up and end up claiming the credit for something he's actually made worse.

    100% this. She’s blatantly one of those massive up themselves cow’s you meet in your life who you would immediately take a disliking to

    I can only imagine her own inflated sense of self importance in just about every aspect of her life

    Would love to see her out of the rotting decay that is our cabinet

    Apparently she took an earlier flight out of the country yesterday which, by happy coincidence, also took her out of the firing line in the House.

    Her and her party are taking us for absolute mugs.

    ...her staff and Liam Fox took the later flight btw. No reports on whether a laundry basket was involved.

    When the Telegraph are reporting this she's toast...or at least should be.

    She'll be sacked soon and then onto the next calamity within our political system and people.

    If it's not Boris putting his size 12's in it, Corbyn employing convicted fraudsters or all manner of politicians being accused of inappropriate behaviour. The whole system grates on my nerves most of the time. I'm sure there are very good and honest politicians but they don't seem to be showing their faces an awful lot right now.....

    I thought that but then wondered what concessions that we (the nation) would have to make to secure it.

    Nadhim Zahawi trying to defend her on C4 news and Newsnight was one of the most puke inducing episodes I have seen in a long time.

    Can you elaborate on the Corbyn charge? Can't find any recent news on this one.

    Yet one motivator of Brexit was a desire for so called sovereignty and democracy compared to the EU.
    We wake every day and gaze with increasing incredulity at the behaviour of so many of our elected representatives.
    Sovereigns avoid tax, and politicians serve themselves not the people in this seedy little country.
    The British isles are a great and beautiful place being destroyed by calculating behaviour by those who salivate for power position and influence.

    We've not much to offer agreed but I think they will be looking to secure some support in their ongoing "discussions" with Trumps administration. Can't hurt to have the British Foreign Sec indebted to you when it's one of the few governments likely to have even a modicum of influence over the US.

    Casually equivocating the sins of right and left is pretty much every Tory's rhetorical go-to when one of their own has been caught being a cunt

    Reported in last night's standard and I can see that the Telegraph & Mail also carried it. Convicted in 2006, Marsha-Jane Thompson having attempted to add 100 voter registrations in Newham which she completed and signed herself.

    Now revealed that she also visited the Golan Heights...which U.K. Gov does not recognise!

    Well, that's terrible. Within the last 15 years and wrongly enfranchising a whole hundred people in a borough of several hundred thousand. Corbyn should resign instantly. This is probably the worst oversight by a politician since appeasement

    While I agree this is false equivalence, can you not see potential scandal in appointing a person convicted of voter fraud? You looking at the situation so flippantly is as ridiculous as the initial comparison.

    Thanks.

    I have no initial problem with this. Happened over 11 years ago, conviction is spent and she has been quite open with her past and has not been involved in any transgressions since. Should she have been given a lifelong ban from all public activities or do we believe in a society of rehabilitation and redemption? Should the ex Bullingdon lot be banned from Parliament due to their activities?

    It's actually a well timed appointment - nothing more. All other things being equal, the optics of this appointment are poor. However among a Tory public implosion, it's not even headline news in three conservative news vehicles.

    Well that’s going to be two senior cabinet ministers gone within a week. One because she can’t be trusted to act within the confines of the role and speak the truth and one because....well he just can’t be trusted.

    That’s even before we have the full blown goon show hosted by Boris (Eccles) Johnson who quite frankly wouldn’t be near the Foreign & Commonwealth Office under any other Prime Minister In history but as we all know Eccles packs a gun at least as big as our current PM who looks more embarrassed and embarrassing on a daily basis.

    Where are those 47 signatures when needed and just who from the Tory big hitters will stick their head above the parapet. Johnson certainly and Moggy will be goaded into it. Leadsom will fancy her chances and it will give her another chance to lie about her CV.

    When in history has this country been so poorly served by its political classes.

    You can smell the end of John Major wafting back into the corridors of power.

    Great fun.
