The Conservative Party

I suppose Starmer being threatened stops the media from chasing Hari out of Number 10.

I wonder which MP has his own "proud boys" he can whip up?
 
Anybody seen this Harry Cole bloke from the Sun on Sky News? He does get very angry if you question Johnson, does he see himself in the same mould?

Yeah, I switched it off. Saying ‘this is nothing to do with Johnson’ is either unbelievably dishonest or stupendously stupid, and I don’t think he’s stupid.

Either way, Sky lost at least one viewer as soon as he opened his mouth

Another night of government sponsored gaslighting to the media and the people it's supposed to protect.

That’s the problem with electorates … memories like goldfish.

The global economy is on its bare bones and has gone nuclear on socialist policies. Nobody dare say owt because everyone is swimming in the same shit pond. We all quietly hope we get enough time, growth, and bit of inflation outrunning interest rates to make it look a bit better - it’s even making the French appear financially prudent. Probably the first time in history the Tories can leave a note for Labour saying there “is no money left, we’ve printed it all, good luck”

Erm, you know that little message left in the draw was a traditional joke left by outgoing finance ministers which was started by Winston Churchill in the 1920's?

I'm not stating him directly, but 'Sorry, old bean, I've made a bit of a mess of things. Have fun clearing up the mess' was a typical sort of message left by outgoing ministers of both parties so your claim a message like that would be the first time in history a conservative government could leave a letter like that is absolute rubbish.

It was seized upon by a newly elected government to impose austerity, a widely condemned policy that achieved nothing but misery on the less fortunate in society and is well known by economists as a policy that doesn't work. David Cameron admitted that note was the excuse he was looking for.

You may well know a lot about the energy market, but how do you feel about a budget of £37 Billion for an App that didn't work? How do you feel about the paper trails that show Priti Patel and Mat Hancock conspired to award a contract for the supply of PPE the NHS told them was double the price they would expect to pay, and wasn't up to the standards they required. Two months later they were awarded a contract of £106 million, more than double the amount the friends of friends Priti Patel had asked for? Is it not likely a few bob of that huge profit found it's way into bank accounts in a little island in the Caribbean Sea?

It's obvious you are a tory, but let this sink in for a few minutes. When the Labour government lost power the last time, our national debt was £600 Billion, and that was after the financial crash when we had to pump money into the system to stop banks collapsing.

After austerity, and before the pandemic took hold, our national debt was £1 trillion. It is now £2.1 Trillion, and growing.

Yeah, talk about energy prices all you like, and I can accept I was wrong about the VAT on Spanish electricity bills, but please have a look at the state of the country at the moment. You may think it's fine, but I'm fed up with hearing we live in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth when millions are struggling with the basics.
