Worrying that he thinks (or more likely thinks that the electorate will buy) a ten minute sample from a half hour programme as evidence of bias. That programme will be policed by producers with stopwatches to make sure that tories and labour get exactly equal amounts of slagging. It’s worrying because he seems to be suggesting that there should be no biased content, rather than no bias overall. It’s also sinister that this looks like a proper part of the Tory strategy to try to influence coverage in the run up to an election (possibly the run up to launching another crusade against the saracens?). Any criticism is bias now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 4 hours ago, Michael W said: I saw that Mrs Johnson's pal (ex) Harry Cole was excitedly tweeting that a 'senior party figure' was going to go public against Rishi Sunak. Turns out it was Simon Clarke, a Johnson loyalist whose only senior position was short-lived under Liz Truss. Boris Johnson game him a knighthood for his troubles. This is Simon. He's 6ft7. I don't think I've ever seen someone of that height look less intimidating. His pal Carl seems nice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way he wouldn’t still have it is if he’d manually deleted it, I’ve still got convos on there from when I joined it in 2009. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just constant money handed to each other, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68122000 Former Tory MP Nadine Dorries says she will return £16,876 in severance pay she mistakenly received for being a cabinet minister. Government accounts show she received the exit payout from her tenure as culture secretary under Boris Johnson. But the rules say she should not have received it, because she had reached the age of 65 when she left office. Ms Dorries said she only received an email about the admin error on Friday. Speaking to BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the ex-minister said she would repay the money "on Monday morning". She added that she was "gutted" to find out, joking that the mix-up "means now everybody knows I'm not 49". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour's response: Labour says this shows Sunak is out of touch. Responding to the inteview, Jonathan Ashworth, a shadow Cabinet Office minister, said: Not a lot of people facing rising mortgages, bills and food prices are casually dropping £1,000 bets It just shows that Rishi Sunak is totally out of touch with working people. Not immediately considering that making bets on issues that affect the lives of desperate people is extremely distasteful. No, not for this Labour Party who don't wish to be seen as a "soft touch" when it comes to Johnny Foreigner. Instead they comment on the size of the bet and how Samantha and Bill in Rochdale can only dream of making such huge bets. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Maybe not entirely appropriate for this thread, maybe one on a "Tory Stabbing Tories in the Front" thread, but nice to see the Tories knifing Andrew Bowie by ... Ahem.... adjusting his responsibilities. From The National.... "In his role, the Scots Tory MP had responsibility over energy networks including the grid. However, Bowie’s role was quietly changed, with responsibility over networks taken out of his hands, after he engaged with campaigns against new pylons in his constituency. Politico first reported the quiet change in Bowie’s position, which had happened in December 2023. The UK Government did not announce the change and declined to comment." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Not sure how this can be true. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68204195 "Rishi Sunak said pressures from higher bills or mortgage rates were subsiding." My cheap two year mortgage deal doesn't expire for a few months yet and I imagine I won't be alone in still waiting to see the impact of my mortgage going up when it does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a teacher I really hope that you do not teach our kids politics or share with them your political views. It's not that OTT, particularly with this current Tory party. In fact one of the essay questions in my last term's Politics and IR course was to what extent Fascism was just a radical form on Conservatism. I chose that question to answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
