The Conservative Party

Another manifesto promise about to be torn up.

"We will proudly maintain our commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of GNI on development, and do more to help countries receiving aid become self-sufficient."

Just a reminder that Patel tried to divert British Aid to al-Qaida via Israel. She held twelve meetings with the Israelis including meeting with Netanyahu without informing officials in her own department, the UK Foreign Office or the office of the then Prime Minister May. She actually lied to them telling them that she was in Israel on holiday.

She attended all but one of those meetings with Stuart Polak, another Conservative, who is a member of the House of Lords.

She was caught because Yair Lapid (an Israeli Politician) tweeted a picture of them both meeting.



Even after apologising she continued to lie and failed to disclose two further meetings that she had attended with Israeli ministers without the presence of officials.

Illegal funding of ai-Qaida FFS ........the very group responsible for the 7th July London bombings.

She should be charged with treason and in prison..... not the Home Secretary.

It was actually to fund an Israeli hospital treating wounded Syrian fighters which may have included some jihadis. Bit of an exaggeration to call it Al Qaeda funding.

Usual Friday night wind up from Boris. He cannot resist. He will have literally have us in two groups, standing on opposite sides of the country, before he's done.

Actually, truth may be he can't help it in this case. In terms of this cabinet, Priti is an old hand, one of the intellectual heavyweights. And this is only like, the third time she's been found guilty of serious misconduct.

IOW: He can't possibly afford another sacking, because his authority hangs by a thread. We'd end up with Steve Baker or sth. And he'd completely overpower Boris by lunchtime on his first day. Also Boris knows full well one scandal takes attention away from the next. There are only so many hours in the day. No-one can truly work through all this shit and nail him properly, without getting distracted by one of the other disasters that seems to require urgent attention.

All whilst he's unavoidably isolated. Crikey Boris. What are the chances? Just as well no-one really grew to depend on your leadership.

I agree with paragraph 3. People like Trump and Johnson have to live in the present. Daily scandals, funnily enough, take the pressure off as no one is actually held to account or scrutinised by the time the next one comes along - great for the individual, not great for actually governing

Regards Patel being an ‘intellectual heavyweight’, I’m a bit hungover so maybe the joke has gone over my head, but you cannot be serious?

OK... I'll correct it then.

Why has Israel embraced al-Qaida's branch in Syria?

Few Western journalists have dared to ask why Israel is supporting Jabhat al-Nusra.

Its well documented that the Israeli Army occupying the Golam Heights uses its field hospitals to treat anti government fighters involved in the war in Syria - including members of factions linked to al-Qaida

but in any event it was still a misuse of UK Development Funds

The same way that Blair should have been prosecuted for war crimes.. the country’s political class / system appears to be past help sadly or they really don’t give a shit about the electorate (on all sides)
