From the you couldn't make it up department - "Tory MPs 'plot to oust next PM by Christmas to bring Boris back":

It's breathtaking isn't it?
As a non-Tory I faintly relish the chaos - but it's not exactly going to help the country, is it?

It's madness. The Tories are definitely the loopy ones these days.
Firstly, I'm not very optimistic about the prospect of a Liz Truss government. But she should surely be given a bit.of a chance before people start trying to overthrow her?
Secondly, the idea of bringing Johnson back is absolutely insane. He's just resigned in disgrace after being proven fundamentally unfit for office. Nobody outside the Tory Party wants this.
Time for a Labour Government. Get these hopeless Tory idiots out!

And only half of them want it.
It's a f**king vanity project.

It'll be a refreshing change to read daily posts on how Truss is f**king everything up.

Comedy gold, I should imagine, providing much needed laughter to get us all through a grim winter.

You have low expectations of what is comedy gold.

I know.
Been hanging round here too long

I read a report last week about a woman that had her bag stolen with her phone and bank card in it.
The thieves got into her bank account and emptied her current and savings accounts. And used her card until it was refused.
Santander said the thief used her pin so she had been careless with it and refused to refund her.

Today the case was on a radio 4 program and a specialist knew how they did it.
Her phone was locked and there was no pin number in her bag.

They downloaded the Santander banking app on another phone and used the forgotten banking pin option.
(They used her card for account details)
A one time code was sent to the woman's phone and it popped up on her phone, even though it was locked.
They used that to get into her account. I didn't know this but somewhere in your banking app is your pin for your card

They transferred her savings into her current account 2.5 grand at a time, each time they got a message 'is this you? They phoned the bank to say yes.
They then spent the lot.

They have now refunded her after realising the flaw.

Be very careful you don't leave your phone and card in the same place. It's easy to get access.

A clever fraud.

It's not that clever, nor is it uncommon, but it works very well. See also "SIM swapping".

All email accounts should be protected with unique, strong/random passwords, and you should enable any of your mobile provider's security measures (locking your phone number to prevent changes, etc.).

They've had ample opportunities but keep scoring own goals. If there was a viable alternative the Tories would've been out years ago.

Weeks before she even got the job shes made about 12 u-turns

I think we all know she's a moron

They don't care about that. It's get them out at any cost. But Labour are not a viable opposition as they stand.
If they were, even I'd vote for them at the next GE.
And that's half the problem. Tory voters are flexible, Labour voters are not.
Their hatred blinds their judgement

Nonsense

My dad was a fully paid up member of the Labour Party and a party activist for years and years

He has now voted green for the last few elections

Plus what about all the red wall muppets who switched to Tory- just 'to get Brexit done'

Bet they're glad now

Ah well, if one changed his vote - case proved.

Daily Mail front page headline today

"NOW BBC COMIC MOCKS LIZ TRUSS"

Wow really??? Outrageous

This from a shit rag that constantly drones on and on about how you can't say this, you can't say that - due to 'lefty liberal wokes'

And they piss their pants cos Joe Lycett makes some rubbish joke about a Tory

hypocritical bastards
