'the horses are on the track' (‘I am literally a communist (you idiot)’ )

 'the horses are on the track'

is it, as a friend has suggested, a steeplechase?

sunak, mordaunt, truss, badenoch, braverman and tugendhat go through. 

zahawi and hunt fall! at least one more to fall today! 

doubtless by the time horsemouth types (or you, gentle readers get to read this) this badenoch, braverman or tugendhat will have seen the writing on the wall and pulled out. fuck me what is it with those names? is this elric or something? 

'we ride to castle mordaunt, truss! fetch my broadsword. braverman! tugendhat! scout the perimeter...'

or maybe it's more gormenghast?

ultimately (when it goes to the conservative party membership of something like 100,000 people) horsemouth thinks it is beween mordaunt or truss and rishi. 

these are the witless true believers. 

there was a joke that was going the rounds that said one advantage of the competition is that we will at last know if the tory party is more sexist than it is racist (or vice versa). 

dorries said she thought the deposition of boris johnson was undemocratic - in that case have your new leader call an election as soon as they get in and then we will see the will of the people (you'll probably win).

horsemouth is interested in the way rishi moves - it reminds him of norman wisdom. 

having watched laura kuensberg's laudatory triumph of the will (the rise of boris johnson) 3 years ago (was it)) horsemouth now got to watch her downfall (the fall of boris johnson) last night. it was, like its ostensible subject, hardly apologetic. laura K goes on to better remunerated things. boris too probably.

in a moment that is beyond parody the government is going to table a no confidence motion in itself.  

horsemouth goes to hide out in the cloud forest for a few days and take care of a cat.  he will take the master and the margarita which he started reading yesterday up at clapton pond(s). on his way up there he bumped into TG, he then brought T back for a tea in the back garden (in the shade). this should take him over the time of the heatwave and into the post-heatwave condition. his expectation is to be away half the time until mid-mid-august. he's due to be back up in the cloud forest in time for the next railstrike 

it is the four year anniversary of ash sarkar’s   ‘I am literally a communist (you idiot)’  - one of the more inspiring moments in recent history.  horsemouth is enjoying the sun (perhaps by not getting out into it as much as he should). 

ok he should start packing.
