How corrupt can this Gov get?

[cookiemonster]

Pays 147,000 Pounds in donations to Tory funds and gets a peerage. Is able to make laws despite never being elected. What was it about unelected bureaucrats?

BJ isn't even hiding his corruption and cronyism any more.

I don't see the problem. He has the requisite additional chins.

Once upon a time this would have been a fictional Whitehall storyline discarded as just being too far fetched .

Now?

Barely raises an eyebrow.

Has anyone in the House of Lords been elected?

£147K seems a pretty cheap investment, where do I sign up? Perhaps £147K is just what has been officially declared. maybe Carrie wants to redecorate a few more rooms and has tapped him up for some more dosh.

Outrageous. Normally you have to write an independent report exonerating the party from racism in order to get ennobled.

A fair few are ex MPs.
I don’t mind the Lords being a House of experience but I would prefer to see an independent body with oversight for entry and maximum 10 year terms.

Seemingly, not our electorate.....

With an 80-seat majority, an 'opposition' focused on backstabbing its own members whilst meekly nodding through whatever the government wants, and three more years - I strongly suspect we ain't seen nothing yet.

Maybe Freedland should of considered the consequences of his constant smears against Corbyn.

You may be overestimating Freeland's influence over the outcome of the last election.

Other than the article linked to, don't think I have ever read anything by him, so, don't think he influenced me.

Your right....I wouldn't give him that much credit.
