A red Knight Surely "the people's champion PM" (copyright @RuMoore) is a honourable man of the proletariat, and wouldn't accept baubles from the UK establishment? He's going to abolish the House of Lords, and lead us to a utopian socialist republic, don't you know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does he mean Tory "green" policies I wonder as Sunak once again takes his private jet to a nearby location, perfectly accessible by public transport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's using "green" as shorthand for "policies on environmental matters", so all the recent pro AGW stuff, oilfields and petrol engines etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. I was on the Guardian website when I spotted it but he is in fact the Observer cartoonist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I have worked 70 hour weeks for a while. Total zombie by the end of it and taking more time to redo the mistakes I was making out of tiredness. This was back when I was young and fit. It'd kill me now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The homunculus is speaking live. He says that Starmer wants to borrow £28B to fund uncosted spending. Maybe he should give Dido Harding a phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Quote ‘Says it all!' Downing Street blasted for using RoI flag on post about Northern Ireland. Incompetence or a 4D Chess to nudge reunion in Ireland - you'd love to think the latter but really it's just another example of the current generation of Tory ministers not really knowing much about NI or really caring about anything other than feathering their own nests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/dec/01/sunak-parthenon-marbles-matter-of-law-denies-hissy-fit Quote Rishi Sunak has denied having a “hissy fit” over the Parthenon marbles row and has said they cannot be returned to Greece “as a matter of law”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67423745 Quote The government's Rwanda asylum policy, which it says is needed to tackle small boats, is in disarray, after the UK's highest court ruled it is unlawful. The Supreme Court upheld a Court of Appeal ruling, which said the policy leaves people sent to Rwanda open to human rights breaches. It means the policy cannot be implemented in its current form. Rishi Sunak said the government would work on a new treaty with Rwanda and said he was prepared to change UK laws. Maybe Sunak could change the law to allow the Marbles to be sent back. if it's OK to try and rip up laws in order to send people to a foreign country (for which they have no connection), then it should be OK to try and rip up laws in order to send some statues to a foreign country (from where they originally came). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
