(Inflation too high, National debt, too high) Waiting lists, too high, Cost of living, too high, Illegal immigration, far too high, says Rishi Sunak, leader of the party that has been in Government for 13 years.
Meanwhile on the craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzy world of Planet Bridgen: https://twitter.com/ABridgen/status/1610604311675043841
Is he really suggesting that a large number of people in this country have died as a result of taking CoVid vaccines?
Yes, I was aware of that (from following the twitter link) - but I wonder if he actually knew that - perhaps he just read the headline? No idea why I am giving him the benefit of the doubt!
Sterling is looking very weak against the dollar and the euro today......I think Rishi's honeymoon is over.
Well his speech basically outlining how the Tories have completely fecked the economy and everything else can’t have helped. What was he thinking?
Looks like Baroness Mone might have to sell the new boat. I don't now what powers are available to recover dividends paid out from profits that were wrongly made, but I hope the government will use whatever powers are available. https://www.ft.com/content/7a2093f8-55f8-400f-9176-2225b9193e05 Looks like they may have faked the sterility accreditation.
If Sunak's maths vision was to teach kids how numbers work in the real world, for example how percentages work (and why they can often present quite a misleading picture), or how interest rates work, or about budgeting, or how maths apply to mortgages etc it'd be quite a good idea. My secondary school education did barely anything like that which was of use in the real world. But you just know it'll be a grey Tory's wet dream of learning by rote algebra and fractions and trigonometry. Mind you, they're playing with fire. If the Tories teach too many people how much more than a million a billion is, they're toast.
As if you didn’t already know he is a lazy and arrogant oaf who does nothing to fulfil his 85k salary, the MP for Uxbridge describes himself as being in a career ‘hiatus’ in laughable and deranged Spectator piece. Warning, contains pretentious classicisms. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-joys-of-a-career-change/
The Tories are a mess They are useless. No argument from me. The question is then : why are the Labour mob not a shoo-in at the next G.E.? What are the electorate afraid of ?
You know the problem. Labour didn’t do enough to help people economically and many lost faith. They then had their heads turned by a nationalist and fascist press who have them thinking anyone not exactly like them is their enemy, anyone that is other than the ruling class. So if Labour go left, they are enemies of the people, if they go right, they have betrayed everyone. Labour, therefore heads for the narrowest landing strip. Not always convincing, but that’s politics. And for the moment it is working, because they are a shoo-in.
@Moose the Boy Owen and other Corbynites will be ensuring a Labour Govt is not a shoo-in under Starmer . FTR I was a Corbyn supporter. Unfortunately he was a follower and not a leader . He didn't know how to deal with the extremism within his party .
Doesn't that mean our exports are value for money ? Or is it the other way around ? I can't remember. A bit like interest rates and who benefits ? But hey ....if the kids are United
I've just posted something about, that utter tool, JRM in the Brexit thread. Something that 'popped' up after writing it was, basically one old fraud writing about another: Will Self on JRM (I believe the piece was supposed to a review of Michael Ashcroft's 'biography' of JRM "Jacob's Ladder" ). If you wade through Self's tortuous 'solipsistic' prose (DYSWIDT!!!!!!!!!) you find this:
Just to make certain: does "he" refer to the suspended MP for North West Leicestershire (bit of a 'smoking gun' there that shows he's a wrong 'un)?
'Disgraced' MP Bridgen is doubling down: https://twitter.com/ABridgen/status/1612349716649607168 Mike Yeadon has really drunk the 'kool-aid'. 'The Journal' (Ireland) has a very readable piece exploring/debunking every single on of Yeaton's claims with 'facts'.
Marvellous that Bridgen asks ‘what is their end game?’ When he is a Tory MP. He’s implying his own Government is plotting some sort of public health disaster, conspiracy.
This is farking brilliant: Spot the difference: Boris Johnson appears scrubbed from photo posted by Shapps Gaping hole mysteriously appears where former PM once stood at UK space mission with business secretary
Erasing herself, is former Minister and Tax Payers Alliance loudmouth, Clare Perry O’Neil, who has quit the 'self obsessed' Tory party and thrown her support behind Starmer’s Labour. https://news.sky.com/story/former-t...ty-and-throws-support-behind-starmer-12783417
Doubling down on the doubling down: https://twitter.com/ABridgen/status/1613094003611688961 And he's gone...
I first thought that this was a parody: https://twitter.com/Otto_English/status/1613261179585171457 Some real gems in that twitter thread:
He is. He is a complete *****. How an earth do such specimens get into positions of authority ? Worrying. I wonder if anyone has read The Decade In Tory ? An illuminating look at the charlatans that have run this nation into the ground and whose hypocrisy knows no bounds. Lining their pockets along with their friends while squeezing the so called ordinary man and woman more and more. Inequality Between 2010 and 2018, aggregate wealth in the UK grew by £5.68 trillion: 6% went to the poorest 50% of households. 94% went to the richest 50% of households according to the Office for National Statistics. Working families have struggled to make ends meet since its 2008/10 ‘Wealth and Assets Survey’ due to the longest pay squeeze in two centuries and the impact of austerity on their earnings. The richest people in the country didn’t pay the price of the last decade of austerity. The poorest did though. Poverty Child poverty has risen to unprecedented levels with one in four of our children now living in poverty. According to a recent report by the Resolution Foundation, under Conservative plans child poverty is set to reach a 60-year high of 34%. Homelessness Analysis of official rough-sleeping and temporary accommodation figures, along with social services records, by the charity Shelter showed that one in every 200 people is now without a home. Shelter figures show that a child now becomes homeless every eight minutes in Britain. In the past year alone the number of disabled homeless people has increased by 53 per cent. The number of homeless people dying on our streets has soared 48 per cent in the past five years, with two homeless people on average dying every day in England and Wales. It's a disgrace. Time for a revolution.
Braverman in a new low. This time refusing to apologise to a Holocaust surviver for her choice of language when describing refugees: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/worl...he-home-office-want-it-taken-down/ar-AA16lvWT
It's amazing how many of the current cabinet have never sat on the opposition benches, including, Sunak, Braverman, Cleverly, Raab, Mordaunt, Dowden, Barclay, Coffey, Badenoch and Zahawi. If the Tories fail to win the next GE, I think the incoming government should put a total ban on MPs "second jobs". I reckon there would be turmoil and it would be lovely!
Hardly surprising - Ed Miliband looked weird eating a sandwich, and you can't expect people to vote for that.
