I am so fu..king angry. It is taking months/years to pass legislation to keep kids safe on the Internet, it finally passed through the HoC today. The antistrike legislation took days. Just shows this f..king governments priorities. F..k the kids look what the strikers are doing.

Bearing in mind they have also been dreaming up fantasy hospital beds and fantasy ambulances - Rome wasn't built in a day but I am guessing it was burned down in that sort of time period as they are showing us

Most worrying thing is that I still forecast him retaining his seat.

Has Sky got yet another Tufton Street billionaire think tanker on to promote the needs of billionaires to get even richer while the poor get poorer?
 
The UK has slipped to 18th place in the global corruption index, with a warning the slump is a "powerful indictment of a recent decline in standards in government".
The UK has fallen down the global Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) to its lowest ever score as a report warned "slipping standards are being noticed on the world stage".

Britain fell seven places to be ranked 18th in the world after a year marked by the controversy around PPE procurement and a series of breaches of the ministerial code.
It was one of only five countries to see their year-on-year scores drop by five or more points, along with Qatar, Myanmar, Azerbaijan and Oman.

18th?

So number 1 in the Corruption Perceptions Index is the least corruptible?
 
Well, this is a bit awkward.

Good Law Project, amplified by Carol Vorderman, note that the govt hasn't kept Raab's WhatsApp messages used for govt business - obviously, it took the Information Commissioner to get involved before they swallowed their own 17-month lie/blocking position and admitted it.
But it's okay, because a transcript was made so it's all fine. Ministerial Code, you say? Pah, not for this lot.

Oh, and the Good Law people note Sunak saying he didn't know about the allegations about Raab when he was reappointed.
No. 10 say that Sunak wasn't "directly told" about the allegations that civil servants made, and no-one actually advised against reappointing him (would it be their job? that sounds like distraction to me by raising a different but irrelevant point).
That seems to beg the question of whether a complaint is actually made if no-one actually does anything with it (a bit like the tree falling in the forest).

Awkward.
 
Was watching the Parliament channel the other day and saw May there, sitting quietly and listening attentively, as is her wont, and it struck me that Johnson and Truss just never seem to be in the chamber.

Ian Blackford got a tremendously sarcastic reception from the Conservatives when he bobbed back up to the surface on Wednesday, so I was wondering if we’ll ever see 4 prime ministers in the chamber at the same time, which might even be a record.

I guess that the Conservatives will try not to let that happen- just too embarrassing, which might be why they’re keeping Kwasi ‘the 45p distraction’ busy elsewhere.

Got news for you - Truss is about to re-launch herself on a platform as having been just misunderstood and she is going to tell us all why she and Kwarteng were right all along

Yes, I see that her name is being bandied about again, but I think it’s more to do with some MPs resurrecting a WhatsApp group to call for tax cuts. Got to start working on Hunt so as to get the pre-election bribe agreed upon.

Tufton Street have been allowed a voice once more, calling for tax cuts and decrease in public spending.

They really do want it all.

Getting ready for the big bun fight after the local elections. Once they receive the predicted thwacking in those, they’ll be hammering on Sunak’s door demanding immediate tax cuts, or else! At which point, Operation Reinstate Big Dog will gain momentum.
