Stop badgering the #Tories to run the country. They’re #plotting and #putsching, and really don’t have the time -'

'...if the Conservative party’s war ends as the polls suggest – I expect they will melt insouciantly away into new lives, having not been held to account for the self-centred chaos they have visited upon the very people they were supposed to serve.'

“‘There's lots of waiting in warfare,’ said Boy Willie.
‘Ah, yes,’ said Mr Saveloy. ‘I’ve heard people say that. They say there’s long periods of boredom followed by short periods of excitement.’

#Rwanda bill: legislation passes third reading as rightwing rebellion recedes – #UKpolitics live -
The good news for #RishiSunak is that, as widely predicted, his Rwanda bill passed the Commons with relative ease. But in keeping with the curse faced by so many recent Conservative prime ministers, getting what he wants could be just the start of his troubles. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/jan/17/tory-rebels-rwanda-bill-echr-pmqs-rishi-sunak-keir-starmer-northern-ireland-david-cameron-uk-politics-latest
