The Conservative Party

The problem with the banks is the same as that with the fuel companies and the supermarkets etc - they are all run by "good chaps" who went to the same schools as these govt ministers and attend the same clubs etc. We saw the ground being laid yesterday - supermarkets accused of keeping the price of fuel higher than it should be and Govt to have a word - the response will be over a rather agreeable brandy in their club " look old boy you asked us to stop food prices rising too much and we did by off setting the costs against fuel. We have to maintain profits old chap we have shareholders and I am sure you are aware of our legal obligations to them............. aren't you one of them? "

If Sunak wants to get inflation down to anywhere near his target for the end of the year everyone needs to be rowing in the same direction. Supermarkets all conspiring to keep the price artificially high is kick in the knackers to everyone who is struggling to make ends meet at the moment. That petrol price will feed into other companies costs whether they are in distribution or other parts of industry supply chains. If their petrol is inflated you have to wonder what the actual cost of their products are as well, I wouldn’t mind most big supermarket chains made an absolute killing during covid now they are doing this.

Profit old chap - profit.

I doubt that big business has ever had a Govt more pliable to its desires and prepared to look the other way - that period may be coming to an end so they have to mop up the gravy whilst they still can
 
So we have the National Conservatives then the Conservative Democratic Group then the New Conservatives alongside the actual Conservatives - the ERG may even still exist - we are in Life of Brian territory aren't we?

Labour are the real conservatives, says Keir Starmer as he promises to protect ‘our way of life’​


Don't forget the 'real conservatives' ;-)
 
The Local Government Association has warned that, with many areas facing housing shortages and long waiting lists, the Home Office's deadline for Afghan asylum seekers to leave their current hotel accommodation by the end of August is too short, and will leave thousands facing homelessness. The LGA has said while councils "are working to support Afghan households served with eviction notices", they are "frustrated about a lack of recognition of existing local pressures". More than 8,000 individuals and families, the LGA notes, have been served notice by the Home Office to leave hotels by the end of next month.

Jenrick's wife is the child of holocaust survivors - she came here from Israel - and he has 3 daughters. How the fuck does he look them in the eye when he goes home? Absolute **** he is

You know how big an ask that is, don't you?

We have been chasing the elusive improved productivity since Mr Wilson's time, to my certain knowledge, with relatively little success. The nearest we get to it is ideas like closing railway booking offices and damn the inconvenience to the public.

Low productivity largely arises from inadequate investment. Indeed, to once again refer to history, I remember Mr Heath saying this was a problem, and it has remained one. Contrary to Tory/Daily Mail propaganda - a polite word for 'lies' - this does not indicate that British workers are lazy. To give a simple example, a man with an electric screwdriver will always turn more screws in eight hours than a man with a manual one. Though the man with a manual screwdriver will actually be making a greater physical effort.

The sad truth is that UK investors almost always seek maximum short-term profits at any cost. This is why someone like Sheikh Mansour absolutely baffles so many people in this country.
