The fact they are considered failing guarantees their loyalty because they would not merit a cabinet post in any other government.
I wonder what the Mail and Telegraph would make of this if it was Abbott.

The way the right latch onto everything she does whilst ignoring the manifestly greater failings of morons like Truss and Dorries and Williamson tells you all you need to know about them and their underlying prejudices.

I can't think of another Prime Minister who would even let her into cabinet.

Not sure the term moronic fits here, for somebody allegedly as thick as mince wouldn't the term cretinous be more appropriate?

Sorry squire but moronic means a foolish or stupid person which certainly applies to these two. To be honest cretinous also relates to stupid people so you clearly don’t know that basically they are the same although the latter is considered more extreme.

Thanks for that, but I do know the difference hence my reference to the word cretinous being more apt in my explanation to ghosty, not really sure why you wanted to get involved really, any credibility this post had went with your sentence beginning to be honest.

Still Dorries out there defending him from the cabinet today. It's absolutely desperate that she's the best advocate he's got, a walking car crash of lies, bluster and ridiculousness. I can see why she's such a fan of Johnson.
