    I wonder if Carrie swallowed and did she make the scruffy bastard wash it before she put it in her mouth?

    They want you poorer has been known for a long time. I’m sure George Carlin had bits on it. Definitely that they want people more stupid

    Carrie Johnson will be 35 on her next Birthday. It doesn't seem five minutes ago since was crawling around the Foreign Office on her hands and knees.

    Any chance this was where Carrie went to school?

    This week's #TheWeekInTory
    by the brilliant Russ Jones
    You could NOT make it up...

    1. The Tories lost 2 by-elections in a single night, and by record-breaking amounts
    2. A dignified response came from defeated Tory candidate Helen Hurford, who locked herself in a dance studio (the traditional fridge presumably being unavailable)
    3. Inspired by Hurford expressing herself via the hidden medium of secret dance, our heroic PM Boris Johnson ran away from his own party conference
    4. One of his own MPs said his absence was “no great loss to us”
    5. Another said “he’s shown absolute contempt for colleagues”
    6. Sinister count (not a typo) Michael Howard said the PM should resign
    7. Robert Buckland said Johnson should “look in the mirror and do better”
    8. Johnson seems to have been face-down over lots of mirrors, so he skipped a queue of 500,000 patients to get his septum fixed
    9. Meanwhile Tory Chairman and adenoidal, chronically be-Tangoed culture warrior Oliver Dowden managed to cancel himself by quitting
    10. Mouth of Sauron Priti Patel had her usual grasp of reality, and said “we’ve done incredibly well” in elections they’d just massively lost
    11. Hot on Patel’s cloven-heels was Boris Johnson, who said he would “listen to voters”
    12. Voters said they wanted him to quit
    13. Johnson immediately abandoned listening to voters, said their opinion “doesn’t matter”, and the public should “expect more of the same”
    14. He then announced he wanted to remain in power until at least 2030, and tragically he didn't mean half-past-eight
    15. To prove he was up to the epic and wildly improbably task of being in the job another decade, he organised a photo-op of himself going “jogging”
    16. He was dropped 25 feet away in a chauffeur-driven car, and then got out and pretended to finish a run
    17. Only 3 weeks after 1/3 of his MPs voted against him in no-confidence vote, “several dozen” of his MPs submitted letters demanding another no-confidence vote right away
    18. His ethics advisor resigned after being asked by Johnson to break the law
    19. And the govt refused to release records of Johnson’s “negotiations” with his old chums as he was handing out massive and iffy Covid contracts to them
    20. But a Tory peer took £3000 per month (undeclared) from a company in return for “opening doors” to those cushy contracts
    21. Emails show him saying he “would not promote the company” in getting contracts from human spork Matt Hancock unless he was (unlawfully) paid for it
    22. To prove they’re in nobody’s pockets, Tories auctioned off dinner with Johnson, tottering avian monstrosity Theresa May, and glistening polyp David Cameron for £120k
    23. Johnson’s anti-corruption tsar – who also quit – said “you can’t just pretend this stuff doesn’t matter”
    24. But small business minister, flocculent walnut and master of the Freudian slip Paul Scully said it doesn’t matter because “politicians are held accountable at the bollocks box”
    25. And speaking of bollocks, Johnson buggered off to Ukraine again
    26. Analysis shows every single official call or visit to Zelensky has come within 4 hours of Johnson facing another self-caused crisis
    27. Anyway, with Johnson gone, Etch-a-Sketch thundercunt Dominic Raab was left in charge, and Britain immediately ground to a complete halt
    28. Grant Shapps falsely pretended it was all cos airlines had sold every seat to two passengers
    29. Criticising two people occupying one space is a bit rich from Shapps, who has more identities than Jason Bourne (who people also travel halfway round the world just to punch)
    30. Airline bosses said the problems were unrelated to seats, but “completely to do with Brexit” which had been an “abject failure”
    31. Over 8000 job applications to help fix the airport problems had to be rejected because Brexit means we can’t employ them
    32. Meanwhile rail strikes began, and Shapps said it was “crazy” to suggest he wanted them to go ahead
    33. Train service operators said Grant Shapps had stepped in to rule that he would “not allow” them to negotiate with unions to avoid strikes
    34. Shapps, minister responsible for transport (but not understanding his own job), refused to join in talks cos “it is not my responsibility”
    35. During the pandemic he took back from rail companies the responsibility to negotiate terms – so it literally is his responsibility
    36. Addled Tory MP and bewitched thumb Mark Jenkinson said the strikes were “a vision of Labour’s Britain”, seemingly struggling to remember who the govt is right now
    37. Two-thirds of the public support the strikes
    38. Polls also showed the public think the govt is failing HUGELY on inflation, immigration, the economy, NHS, housing, tax, transport, benefits, crime, Brexit, the environment, education and employment
    39. So, just the minor stuff, then?
    40. As a free bonus, they’ve also chosen to fail on decency: after an earthquake hit Afghanistan, Liz Truss, ITV4 made flesh, said “the UK stands ready to support them”
    41. 1600 Brits had offered homes to Afghan refugees, but in 9 months only 2 refugees have been placed
    42. A report blamed govt “disorganisation and chaos”, costing £1.2 million a day
    43. So the govt cut by 25% the number of staff working to fix it
    44. The PM said, “This is a very, very generous, welcoming country”, and to prove it, they’re going to electronically tag migrants
    45. The tagging plan breaks the govt's own guidance, which was published – by the Tories – in January
    46. The Times said Priti Patel was furious at UK judges who stopped her shipping desperate refugees who had broken no laws off to Rwanda, and she called the judges “racist”
    47. Given who said it, this demented claim is only extraordinary because it replaced a far more important story
    48. The Times had originally used the space to cover Johnson’s attempts to give Carrie – then his mistress – two £100k senior jobs when he was foreign secretary
    49. Johnson had then called The Times and pressured them to pull the story – and they did, despite the story being true
    50. Dying palm-tree Michael Fabricant claimed Johnson had merely asked officials if a “highly qualified person, his wife Carrie” could be his chief of staff
    51. But she wasn’t his wife at the time – his actual wife was fighting cancer and caring for approx 57% of his acknowledged kids
    52. And I’m not sure a degree in Theatre Studies and Art History makes Carrie “highly qualified” for govt either
    53. But that wasn’t the whole story
    54. It turns out Carrie’s withdrawal as a candidate for the jobs was the result of Boris’s latest mistress-related gagging order about his positively barnyard breeding habits
    55. In this case the gagging order seems to have been: kneel down and gag
    56. While Johnson was “independently” promoting Carrie's suitability for a job, a fellow MP had walked in on her giving him a blowjob at work
    57. The MP in question seems to have been Gavin Williamson, a lurching stack of inadequacy wearing teeth stolen from an exhumed donkey
    58. Rumours now claim Williamson had been given his massively undeserved knighthood in exchange for agreeing to stop informing his fellow MPs about the noshfest he'd witnessed between Johnson and Carrie, who Gavin had nicknamed “Princess Nut Nut”
    59. Everyday office life in Johnson’s govt now includes oral sex, drunkenness, parties, bullying, missing vital meetings, watching tractor porn, conducting affairs, and taking drugs
    60. And on it goes: Chris Pincher had to resign after getting pissed and groping two men
    61. Pincher had already resigned as whip in 2017 after making unwanted passes at a man who described him as “a pound-shop Harvey Weinstein”
    62. Despite him losing the same job TWICE for essentially the same offence, Peter Bottomley said “I hope Pincher is soon back in govt”
    63. So to summarise: Johnson got in trouble with his Johnson. Pincher got in trouble for pinching. Fabricant fabricated. Bottomley reached rock bottom. And James Cleverly … well, he remains the exception to the rule
    64. Meanwhile David Warburton will face an inquiry over cocaine use, which will be hard to defend since, in his wisdom, he posed for photos next to fat lines of charlie
    65. He’s also being investigated for alleged sexual harassment and secretly accepting £150k for “advocacy”
    66. I have my doubts his colleagues see much wrong in being paid to pull strings – Brandon Lewis said it was “right” and “absolutely fine” for Prince Charles to accept suitcases containing €1 million in cash from controversial Qatari politicians
    67. Literal mad-woman-in-the-attic Nadine Dorries was back, performing a sexually suggestive duet with Boris, based around the number “69”
    68. Then she claimed there had been 11 world wars
    69. Then described her “long-standing memory” of a sporting event that never happened
    70. Reports say at least 6 Tory MPs plan to defect to other parties
    71. The remaining Tories announced a new trade deal to “help British farming” that will leave UK farmers £300m worse off
    72. The govt said “workers cannot expect pay rises” because it would cause inflation
    73. Then the govt said we must become a “high wage economy”, seemingly without anybody getting higher wages
    74. However, pensions will rise by 10%, because obviously inflation isn’t caused by the only demographic with a majority of Tory voters
    75. Oh, and MPs got a £2000 pay rise in March
    76. And then ministers said they wanted “to ease restrictions on City bosses' pay” so they could prove the “benefits of Brexit”
    77. A study found Brexit would keep wages down by at least £470 per person per year for at least decade
    78. And we’ve just experienced the worst quarter of UK trade on record
    79. And Brexit has cut trade/GDP by another 8%
    80. Add those numbers to our 40-year record 9% inflation, and we’re talking about a 17% drop in typical standards of living
    81. All of this came as a surprised to Tory minister and sheared Afghan hound Chris Philp, who claimed NHS pay has “kept up with inflation”, when it’s actually left NHS workers £6000 per person behind inflation since 2010
    82. Somehow, despite all this, when they were asked for some of the other benefits of Brexit (beyond making multimillionaires into multi-multimillionaires and a 17% pay cut for everyone else) the govt struggled
    83. Jacob Rees-Mogg – a cross between the memory of rickets, and Lucius Malfoy after a flash-fire – said his top Brexit benefit was centred around a plan to change what he called “funny numbers” on signs inside the Dartford Tunnel
    84. Other than fixing Dartford’s subterranean integers, JRM, minister for Brexit Opportunities, boasted Brexit meant sparkling wine could now use plastic bottles
    85. Clearly feeling he’d proved his point, he said the govt won’t bother to assess whether Brexit has been a success
    86. Then he deleted data about MP’s attendance, just months after he'd stalked around leaving notes on civil servants’ desks demanding constant attendance
    87. Health update, and Tory NHS privatisation since 2012 had led to a “significantly increased” number of avoidable deaths
    88. Meanwhile, in an entirely unexpected turn of events, the govt's charming policy of releasing raw sewage into our drinking water hasn’t gone well, as random inspections revealed the polio virus had returned
    89. Laurence Fox, a pestilential eruption of idle xenophobia, privilege and stupidity, stuffed into the waxy corpse of an exhumed Regency orphanage worrier, changed his Twitter profile pic to a swastika made of Gay Pride flags
    90. The Tory chair of London’s police and crime commission met this with a gentle tweet of “Oh Laurence” and a “chuckling” emoji
    91. Energy minister Greg Hands admitted he forgot to ask the Hinkley Point B power station to remain open a year longer to ease the energy crisis
    92. And after Tories increased rough sleeping 280% in 10 years, Michael Gove secretly introduced a bill to criminalise rough sleeping
    93. More legislation news, as the govt began smashing up international law and human rights in a floundering orgy of ineptitude and vandalism
    94. First, international law: in their latest attempt to Get Brexit Done, the govt passed a bill to undo the all the Brexit they assured us they’d "got done" in 2019
    95. Boris Johnson’s oven-ready deal has now skipped the middle-man, and gone straight into the toilet
    96. How's it going? Well, it is now 2,175 days, 3 prime ministers, 128 ministerial resignations, and 8% of our entire national economy since ceaselessly muddled beta-version humanoid John Redwood predicted Brexit would be “quick and easy”. That's how it's going.
    97. Theresa May, Vogon Poetry in motion, stood up in parliament and opposed the bill, saying: “As a patriot, I would not want to do anything that would diminish this country”
    98. As a patriot, she then couldn't be arsed to vote against it
    99. Tories said smashing up the NI Protocol was what the people of NI want
    100. Only 5% of people in NI want it
    101. So we’re about to break international law and endanger peace to achieve a Brexit whose only acknowledged benefits are: adjusting signposts in Dartford Tunnel
    102. Straight after the “party of law and order” had voted en-masse to break the law, they moved onto human rights
    103. To set the tone, Danny Kruger asserted in parliament that women don’t have a right to autonomy over their own bodies
    104. This was just a warm-up for a proposed new Human Rights bill that says your rights can be taken away if you act in any way the govt doesn’t like
    105. Immediately afterwards, a protestor was taken away by police officers for saying things the govt doesn’t like
    106. The govt will no longer allow “trivial human rights” cases, but it will be up to ministers to decide if it’s trivial
    107. And govt is no longer obliged to “actively protect someone’s human rights” – an opt-out so Tories can simply ignore anything protecting your rights
    108. The author of the bill, box-faced, thick-necked Play-Doh action figurine Dom Raab, said “we’re focused on fighting crime”
    109. And to prove it, Boris Johnson hinted at a snap general election rather than face a parliamentary inquiry into all the crimes he’s committed
    110. And then a parliamentary committee was informed that only the PM can approve investigations into his own conduct, which is, quite honestly, the only reason this **** keeps happening. And now they're trying to write that idea formally into law
    111. And finally, even as his ministers said he was focusing on crime, chief gibbon Boris Johnson was focused on attempting to illicitly fleece donors for £150,000 to build himself a family tree-house

    I hadn’t connected Johnson’s nose operation with the ravages of a certain white powder, but if this intimation (point 8) remains unchallenged, then I guess it has some truth.
