    The Tory backbencher

    UK insults are the best

      Backbencher is an actual term for a member of parliament without a government office.

        That’s why UK insults are the best. Referring to a backbencher as a backbencher isn’t an insult. Referring to the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom as a backbencher, because she lost her office and now sits on the back benches, is an insult. It’s an incredibly snide remark that seems perfectly normal unless you know why it’s not.

        No, it’s member of Parliament who’s not a frontbencher - i.e. who’s not a government minister or an official spokesperson for their party in Parliament.

        Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves and Ed Davey don’t hold government office, since they’re opposition politicians, but they’re not backbenchers.

    It’d be more realistic if she had held it by the neck in one clenched fist. More on brand.

      Pork markets. Cheese. Disgrace!

      I’ve no idea how the Tory party collapsed so hard as to leave her in the upper echelons of it.

        Yeah, the lamb was on a welding crew doing repairs, a spark caught the thatched roof and the church burnt.

              I do not approve of these puns. Because I am a miserable bastard.

              Baa, humbug.

      Nanny has been been a little too busy recently to watch him, but she promises she will if he’s a good boy and works hard to punish all the nasty poors.
