Oh to have been a fly on the wall: still the average IQ of MP's increases by a smidgen.

I think the unit of measure for an IQ increase that small is called a 'Rees-Mogg' - presumably an Imperial unit, but you never know.

Wonder if they'll pull the (alleged) knighthood for Boris the Liar's nauseating father - I'd imagine even rabid Tories must realise that would not be a good look for them.

But Rees-Mogg and Priti Patel get a knighthood/damehood - hopefully that will nauseate a few potential Tory voters.

The conspiracy theory is that every MP who BJ was going to elevate to the House of Lords had their honours pulled by the government so as to avoid by elections. When Dorries learned of that, she decided to stitch up the government by triggering a by election anyway.

I doubt if it is true, but part of me hopes so because it would be a sign that the government is imploding.

Just remember, the longer the farce continues, the more time people have to absorb the fact these people used to run our country and that the Tory administration is in total chaos.

It's also quite entertaining.
