Mark Francois threatened the Army with Dominic Cummings – 9 fully-loaded takedowns
Tory MP Mark Francois – sorry – hit something approaching ‘peak Francois’ today in a Select Committee exchange with Army top brass.
Specifically, in an exchange about where the Army buys its equipment, Francois had this to say to General Sir Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff.

“Can we just make a plea to you. You are the professional head of the armed forces.
“Please nip back to the department and ask them to sort their bloody selves out, because if not, Cummings is going to come down there and sort you out his own way, and you won’t like it.”
And here are our 9 favourite things people said about it.

I can confirm that myself and Dominic Cummings will be meeting General Nick Carter for a straightener behind the bike sheds after work. pic.twitter.com/HJ2NGKbooG

Imagine being head of the armed forces, and having Mark Francois trying to intimidate you.

Is the *power snort* something you picked up in the TA, and if so is this the first time you’ve used it in combat?

It must be very galling for a professional soldier to be spoken to like that by a weekend soldier whose ‘finest hour’ took place at laser quest.

Mark Francois’s behaviour is so pathetic it does seem to imply he may be the only human whose penis is smaller when erect.

The ‘inhale & snort’ at the end is so reminiscent of every single passive-aggressive wee prick I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting. I wonder which death-grip the General was contemplating & whether his time in Kosovo, Basra & Afghanistan could possibly prepare him 4 Cummings.

To conclude …
Threatening the General, Sir Nick Carter The Chief of Defence that he and his men will get a good telling off by an unelected adviser. British Politics. https://t.co/LXfk9sZKmY

And also this.
I'm Mark Francois and having fought and died in two world wars, I reserve the right to issue the order:

Or if you fancy it especially NSFW.
Mark Francois is like every right-wing wank tissue melted down, mixed with a gerbil, and pumped into the jelly mould of a cunt.
